Lewis M. might be Lewis Manning Van Woert and his wife Adaline who married bef 1853. He resided in Spencer and Candor NY, and was b. ca 1830.

I believe this is Peter Van Wart b. ca. 1828, shown in the 1850 census of NY in Mt. Pleasant in Westchester County. He is shown there at age 22 with his wife, Ann M.

The only Reuben I can find is Reuben Smith Van Woert of Tioga County NY, son of Elizabeth Gould and Harmon Q or Harmon Lewis VanWoert. Elizabeth Gould d. bef. 1840 when Harmon m. Betsey Vose, so he would have been b. bet 1830 and 1840, about the right age for service. But from Iowa? There was another NY to IA family: Cassius C. Van Wert.

There's a Samuel D. Van Woert b. 1841 that might fit. Son of Harmen Q. or Harmen Louis Van Woert and Betsey Vose, resided in Candor, Tioga County NY.

Possibly Seth O. VanWart, son of Thomas and Melissa VanWart, b. ca 1838. The 1850 New York census shows he lived in Ellery in Chautauqua County and attended school there, age 12.

It doesn't seem likely based on his wife's middle name, but perhaps this is William H. Van Wart b. 1836, m. to Sarah Jane bef. 1887? He died in Jersey City, NJ, 12 May 1901. He was the son of Edward Van Wart and Lettie Ackerman.

On the card this William T. also looks like it could as easily be William J. or I.
