Lappanwinsoe, Lene Lenape sachem
 I have reason to believe that (142) Reynier's wife was Native American, probably Lene Lenape. My DNA has been tested, showing that I am about 7% Native American. Some 5.4% is accounted for in other lines; and Reynier's wife is the only unaccounted-for ancestor who lived on the frontier at a time of Settler-Indian confilct. Many of Reynier's relatives were killed by the Lene Lenape during the 1750s; and other relatives, such as Tom Quick, passionately repaid the injury. For the most part, however, the Van Sickles had good relations with this people, as shown below:

"Not far from the (Ferdinand) VanSickelen homestead (near VanSiclen station on the Brooklyn Elevated) was the settlement of the Canarsie Indians, who proved kind neighbours and a warm friendship sprang up between them and the family. The children used the camp as a playground and picked up knowledge of the Indian tongue. In each generation during the following century, at least one Vansickelen was the official interpreter of the Dutch and afterwards the British Government. Several of them became so much attached to the redman that they left their homes and lived with and ruled them. One of them, tradition says, became a titular chief, and transmitted his complimentary title through several generations."
