The Revs. Van Sant visit Toms River, 1878
NEW JERSEY COURIER 17 OCT 1878:
Revs. Nicholas and Isaac Van Sant were in town Monday for the purpose of accompanying their brother, Rev. S. Van Sant, on a visit to their venerable parents, who reside in Lowerbank, Burlington County. The three brothers sailed from here on Tuesday in the yacht "George Russell". Their father, Rev. Nicholas Van Sant, who is a local preacher in the M.E. Church, is now in his 94th year and their mother is in her 93rd year. They have been married 74 years and have seven sons, four of whom are in the regular ministry of the M.E. Church and the other three are local preachers-- a rather remarkable family.
