B.) The second division within the family occurred between 1835 and 1855 when a contingent of Van Leuvens emigrated westward along with Joseph Smith, Brigham Young and their fellow pioneers.
(3) Identify the individual relationships/lineages of those pre-20th century Van Leuvens who remained in New York and the East Coast.
