It mentions the children of his son Jacob, and their mother Mary Vastine; daughters Rachel Harrison, Keziah Sweetman, Vashti Vansant and Sarah Hise; sons John, Garret and George, and grandson James Vansant.

His widow married Benjamin Vastine prior to 1789. George Vansant married Sarah Johnston, December 24, 1783, He sold the old homestead to Joshua Woolston in 1794, and removed to Bristol township. John married Letitia Leaw and died in Middletown in 1812, leaving a son John, and daughters Ann Leah Lovett and Amelia Boca. Garret Vansant, Jr., remained on the homestead purchased of his father in 1789 until 1822, when he conveyed it to his sons James and John, and soon after removed to Newtown, where he died in 1842 at an advanced age. His wife Mary had died many years previously. The children of Garret and Mary Vansant were John, James, Martha; Jane, wife of Isaac Randall; Rachel, wife of Eber Randall; and
