Hi Ethel, Thanks for the email. I found the information on Hester Fonda's birth and death dates at Ancestry.com. Its not always a reliable source, but I saved the information as tentative dates, until I could find more documentation. I've been trying to find more information on Luykas (or Luke) VanArnhem. According to Donald A. Smith, Ph.D. he was one of five members of the VanArnhem family who were members of the Green Mountain Boys from Pownal, Vermont. I am descended from Lukyas VanArnhem through his son, Peter VanOrnum. (Notice the change in spelling). Peter's son, Daniel VanOrnum was my third great grand father.

Dear Sandra-- What do you want to kow about Luykas Van Arnhem? He was the son of Isaac (1704) Van Arnhem and Jannetje Salisbury/Van Salsbergen/various, baptised at the Athens Lutheran Church 1738. He and brothers Isaac and Abraham were kidnapped by Indians during a raid near Pownal, VT, in 1758, all repatriated, apparently after the fall of Montreal. He married Sarah Paine (although no one has found a record of it) and had a pile of children. He was in Pownal for a while and then had his own farm somewhere between Hoosic and Schagticoke as near as I can tell. Besides the "Green Mountain Boys" service he was also shows in at least one Albany militia unit, as I recall. (Luykas was the only Van Arnhem of that name at that time.) After the war Luke and brothers Isaac and John (or John's son John) (and sister Rachel who married Derrick Webb) all seem to have drifted north to locations mostly in Essex County, NY, and in Isaac's case, just over the border into Quebec. In Webb's case, at least, he migrated to secure free land to Revolutionary veterans. --pete ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sandra VanOrman" <sandra_vanorman@msn.com> To: <dutch-colonies@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, March 03, 2007 5:46 PM Subject: Re: [DUTCH-COLONIES] VanArnhem/ Fonda > Hi Ethel, > > Thanks for the email.
