Isaac Van Wart

VAN WART, Isaac, patriot, born in Greenburg, New York, in 1760; died in Mount Pleasant, New York, 23 May, 1828. He was a farmer in Westchester county, New York, and an ardent sympathizer with the patriot cause during the Revolution. On 23 September, 1780, with John Paulding and David Williams, he intercepted Major John Andre on his return from the American lines. (See PAULDING, JOHN.) For this service he received the thanks of congress, a pension of $200 per annum for life, and a silver medal bearing on one side the word "Fidelity" and on the other the legend " Vincit Amor Patriae."' On 11 June, 1829, the citizens of Westchester county erected a monument to his memory. He was an active member of Greenburg church, and served it as chorister until his death.
