• Family History: From Commemorative Biographical Record of the counties of SANDUSKY & OTTAWA, OHIO by J. B. Beers & Co. 1896. ORION VAN DOREN, a progressive young farmer of York township, Sandusky county, is a son of Edwin and Zeruiah Van Doren, and was born in Green Creek township, Sandusky county, September 3, 1858. He is of Dutch extraction on his father's side, his ancestors having come from Holland more than one hundred and fifty years ago. His mother is of Scotch descent. Abraham Van Doren, grandfather of the subject of these lines, was born about 1805, in a town in New Jersey, which then contained but few houses. Coming to Lower Sandusky (now Fremont), Sandusky Co., Ohio, he followed his vocation of shoemaker for many years, and then removed to a farm in Green Creek township, where he passed the remainder of his life. Edwin Van Doren, who was a son of Abraham Van Doren, was born in Fremont, August 14, 1829, and in 1854 was united in marriage with Zeruiah Gray, who was born in Oswego, N. Y. , August 13, 1832. They have had seven children, as follows: Allen, who is on a farm in Green Creek township; Orion, the subject of this sketch; Ida, now Mrs. John Hyatt, living west of Fremont; Sidney, in Green Creek township; Jennie, now Mrs. John Langton; Clara, now Mrs. William Pack, living at Centreville, Mich. ; and Lucy, now Mrs. H. G. Huffman, living at Clyde, Green Creek township, Sandusky, Co., Ohio. Mr. Van Doren has always been an active Republican since the founding of the party. He was in the hundred-day service in the war of the Rebellion, upon his discharge re-enlisting in the Fifty-fifth O. V. I., and was with Sherman on his famous march to the sea. He was mustered out at Camp Dennison, near Cincinnati, Ohio. Mr. and Mrs. Van Doren are now living at Clyde, Sandusky Co., Ohio. Orion Van Doren attended the Fremont school one term after leaving the district school, then went to the high school at Chide one year, and the following year took a short course at Ada; but his father had need of his services, so he left school and remained at home until his marriage. On April 14, 1884, he wedded Miss Emma White, who was born March 8, 1868, and they have had two children, namely: Zeruiah, who was born March 25, 1886, and is at present attending the Clyde schools, and Mary Ruth, born December 16, 1893. Mrs. Van Doren's father, William White, a son of Lyton White, was born in New York State in 1827, and in 1855 married Mary Kettle, who was born in Townsend township in 1832. They had the following named children: Samuel; George, now deceased; Sarah, wife of Morris McGraw, of Albany, N. Y. ; Lillian, wife of A. J. Smith, of Clyde; Marguerite, deceased; Mary, wife of Sidney Van Doren; Emma, now Mrs. Orion Van Doren; Lucinda, deceased; and Anna, wife of George Mason. In 1862 the family moved from Erie county, Ohio, where they had made their home for many years, to Townsend township, and from there to York township, where Mrs. White died August 26, 1872. Mr. White continued to manage his farm of 600 acres until March 26, 1887, when he, too, passed away. Mr. Van Doren votes the Republican ticket. For the past five years he has made an annual hunting excursion to northern Michigan, and his home is nicely decorated with antlers and other trophies that attest to his skill as a marksman.
