VAN BUSKIRK, MARCUS, was born in Western, December 11, 1829, son of John and Catherine (Casler) Van Buskirk. His paternal grandfather, Lawrence Van Buskirk, of Holland Dutch descent, was among the pioneers of Floyd, Oneida county, where he engaged in farming and where he died. His maternal grandfather, Marcus Casler, was a pioneer farmer and blacksmith of Western. John Van Buskirk, father of Marcus, was a native of Floyd, and in early manhood settled in Western, cleared a farm, and assisted in building the Black River Canal. He was for several years prominently identified with the quarry interest of the county, being superintendent of several stone quarries, and lived for many years on what is now known as the Stephen Rogers farm. His children were Marcus, Martha (Mrs. William Norton), and Martin. Marcus Van Buskirk was reared in Western, where he has always resided. He followed boating on the canal for twenty-five years, and has since been engaged in farming. March 28, 1850, he married Hannah, daughter of William and Phoebe (Brooks) Whipple, pioneers of Steuben, by whom he had two children (twins): Henry T. and Helen H., both deceased. Mrs. Van Buskirk is a member of the M. E. church. Mr. Van Buskirk is a Democrat in politics, and has been commissioner of highways two years. (p. 60)
