I found 'The History of the Low Dutch Colony of Conowago' by Rev. Dr. Demarest, copied in 1925 by Mr. & Mrs. Joseph Culver VanOrsdel, 524 West 43rd Place, Los Angeles, CA. Would like to know anything about Joseph, and maiden name of his wife.

Posted on: VanArsdale Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/FamilyAssoc/VanArsdale/50 Surname: VanArsdale, Thenosdol, Fenosdol, Dorland ------------------------- Nee information on Isaac VanArsdale bp 12 Dec. 1746 Harlingen, who was his wife and children. Also seeking fathers, husbands of Catharine, wife of John Dorland who had two sons Isaac and Abraham Dorland born after 1780 and Martha Fenosdol, Thenosdol believe to be 2nd wife of Lambert Darland, son of John. Their first son was Isaac b in 1795 and the second was Abraham born in 1795. All we know of Martha is that she was born in New Jersey in 1760(s) we know not where-according to Bible records. A Darland in Kentucky at one time had a Bible which evidently had her name as Thenosdol or Fenosdol rather than Vanosdol and that is what these ladies entered the DAR under. Believe both women are daughters of an Isaac with the father of Isaac an Abraham Van Arsdale or viseversa. Thanks

To: <DARLAND-L@rootsweb.com> & <VanArsdale-L@rootsweb.com> with the permission of Mrs. Judy Cassidy -------- Original Message -------- Date: Wed, 23 Aug 2000 18:17:04 EDT From: Jamescassidy22@cs.com To: brianter@macatawa.org Recently I was rechecking the York County PA Tax Records, when I re-read a letter that Arthur Weaner attached to them. Arthur is the historian for Conowago. They are a little difficult to read as they are white on black, but I recall I kept seeing this mark at the end of Lambert Dorlands name. Lambert Dorland as you may or may not recall returned from Kentucky and is listed for the years 1787-1789 next or with his Uncle Garret Dorland in Berwick Twp. Following Lamberts name for each year is Phd. I also noticed that in the year 1789 Lambert is listed under single men. So I wrote to Arther and this is what he told me: the mark PHd following the name of Lambert Dorland in the Tax Duplicate is PHd, to mean, per head, i.e.. a flat tax, males over 21 usually not landed, single and WIDOWERS. Others on the list with the same designation , paid the same tax, i.e.. 15 shillings, 9 pence. To me this clarifies and explains the 10 year gap between son John born in 1785 and son Isaac born in 1795. As I had mentioned previously Lambert returned from Kentucky after 1783 or that year bringing with him the papers and deeds belonging to his father John which were returned to his cousin Gerrit Dorland in whose family they remained. Therefore I feel it is safe to say that Martha Fenosdol, Thenosdol, Vanosdol was his second wife and not his first. In the Darland Bible Records is stated Marthy born in the year 1760 in New Jersey, we know not where. Of course the year 1760 can cover 10 years. We also don't know whether she was the daughter of an Isaac Vanarsdal or the widow of an Isaac VanArsdale. But it seems clear to me that Lamberts first wife, the mother of John b. 1785. Judy Cassidy

Posted on: Biographies of Van Arsdale & Related Families Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/FamilyAssoc/VanArsdaleBios/120 Surname: Vanausdal, Bilbe, Curry, Donohoe ------------------------- Cornelius Vanausdal C. VANAUSDAL was born in Berkeley county, Virginia, Oct. 2, 1783. His ancesters [sic] were described as Ògood, honest, Christian people.Ó In 1805, before Preble county was organized he came to what is now Lanier township, and for two or three years assisted in operating a farm for his father. In 1808 he left the farm Ñ turned merchant, and started a store in Eaton; and this store, either alone or in partnership with others, he conducted without interruption till 1863, a period of fifty-five years. He was a deputy U. S. Marshal under General Cass, and in 1810 took the first census of Preble county. During the war of 1812, he was assistant paymaster in the U. S. Army and also engaged in furnishing supplies to the army operating between the Ohio River and Lake Erie. In 1819 he was elected to represent this county in the Lower House of the State Legislature and served in the session of 1819-20. >From 1828 to 1833 he was engaged in the wholesale Dry Goods business in Cincinnati, under the firm name of Vanausdal, Hatch & Gray. During a part of this period he and his family resided in New York city, and while there was engaged exclusively in the purchase of goods for his western houses Ñ both of them being then engaged in the wholesale business. It may be stated as an interesting fact that Robert Morrison, the first[,] or one of the first merchants of Richmond [Indiana], used to buy goods at the Eaton store of Mr. VANAUSDAL, Eaton being in advance of Richmond in size and age. From 1828 to 1832 he was in partnership with his brother-in-law, Judge CURRY in the pork business, in Hamilton. They also ran a canal boat, under the management of Asa Meloy as captain. In 1846 he associated with his son Isaac in a business partnership in Dayton and so remained till 1863, when he sold his interest to his son. In 1852, he associated with himself in his business at Eaton, his son Harvey and son-in-law Mr. DONOHOE. ÑIn 1863Ñhe also sold out his interest in the Eaton house to his partners and retired from general business. For many years he was also engaged in the pork business in Eaton. It might have been stated previously, that he was married on the 24th of July, 1812 Ñ to Miss Martha BILBE, with whom he lived more than fifty-eight years. ÑThe statement has been made that Òin the merchandizing business proper, he was uniformly successful and prosperous, having met with no reverses in this line.Ñ He was supported by good health and an excellent constitution Ñ it being a remarkable fact that he was not sufficiently sick to be confined to his bed a single day from 1809 to 1863, a period of more than a half century. Our young and middle aged men of the present day, who live luxuriously, and complain if they are taxed with a few hours of extra labor should study and imitate the habits and lives of VANAUSDAL and other pioneers. Ñ An allusion to the circumstances surround him when he began life in this county will not be out of place, as it is by these means that we will be enabled to look upon him in the light that he was seen by those who shared in the struggles, privations and triumphs, in the midst of which, and under the influence of which his character and qualities were developed and matured. He found when he came, unbroken forests, wild game and friendly Indians in plenty awaiting him. Those of his own race were few indeed; but they welcomed him warmly, and pioneer life was begun together, clearings were made, cabins built, and the simplest necessaries of life procured at immense toil and cost. When the county of Preble was established and organized, Eaton became the county seat. There was no store in the county. A necessity existed for one, and Cornelius VANAUSDAL, then about 25 years of age established it, little dreaming that he and his humble store were to play so important a part in the development and history of the county. Of course the store keeper became at once conspicuous, and he and his store became the county (for there was no town) talk. His reputation was not long limited to county limits, it spread until it embraced all the territory of Western Ohio and Eastern Indiana (then a territory) between the Ohio river and the lakes. ÒHis name became familiar to every man, woman and child in the county, and to every business man and enterprising Indian within a hundred miles around.Ó Among his familiar acquaintances were Tecumseh, his brother the Prophet, Honest John, Injun John and others. It was related of Indian John, that he brought his furs to the store to swap for salt. The old fashioned steelyards with long and short or light and heavy sides were used in weighing the articles involved in the trade. John had never seen steelyards before and watched the weighing closely. The light side was used in weighing the furs. When the salt was to be weighed the steelyards were turned over so as to use the heavy side. John watched this operation with suspicion, and when he saw the yard fly up when the pea was not so far from the fulcrum as when his furs were weighed, he was convinced that there was something wrong, and seizing the steelyards with an exclamation pronouncing them a lie, ran to the door and threw them as far as he could into the woods and brush. [There were several more pages of anecdote but my hand wore out.] Òdeath occurred August 10, 1870, aged nearly eighty seven years.Ó In the section on Mound Cemetery, Eaton on page 101: ÒAmong the specimens of fine work, which adorned the grounds, may be mentioned the Brooke monument and the majestic Scotch granite shaft suited to the grave of Cornelius VANAUSDAL.Ó Page 155: ÒThe first store was established by Cornelius VANAUSDAL in 1806 or 7, . . .Ó >From Preble County, Ohio Directory, 1875 compiled by B. F. Morgan held in the genealogy collection of the State Library of Indiana. Pages: 73, 75, 77, 79, 81, 83 and as indicated. All in square brackets, [ ], by JAK.

Hi All, I think this roll call is a very good idea. Congrats! Thanks to Rhonda, Charlene an Bob, they have been a lot of help. I have a couple of brickwalls--maybe someone else can help? My gg-grandfather, John Vanausdoll, b.March 29,1785 in Pennsylvania (as Vanarsdalen), d.November 6,1865 in Otter Creek Twp.,Jersey Co.,Illinois(as Vanausdoll). He married Mary Pegan in 1826. She was b. June 4,1796 in Virginia, d. April 7,1872 in Otter Creek Twp,Jersey Co.,Ill. My grandfather, Caleb, was born in Butler Co,Ohio. Caleb's sister, Sarah was born approx 1832--unknown as to where, and his brother, Allen was born August 4,1839 in Monroe Co,Illinois. What I'm trying to find is info on where John was in the 41years before he got married. Was he married previously? And if so to whom? Were there any other children? I'm fairly sure he was in Bucks Co, Pa., but I'm looking for proof. It seems John moved around quite a bit. The Other brickwall--I'm searching for info on Sarah. She was living with the Pittman's in Jerseyville,Ill during 1850 census.(sp. Vanarsdall) approx 18 yrs old at that time. I don't have any other info on her.

Ky Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ky/Mercer/2362 Surname: Vanarsdall, VanArsdall, Van Arsdale ------------------------- Hi Pat, Unfortunately I know very little about Cornelius C. Vanarsdall. Most of my searches have been directed along the lines of Cornelius O. Vanarsdall. As you no doubt know, both "C" and "O" are buried at the Old Mud Meeting House Cemetery in Mercer County. I have an e-mail "pen pal" who I believe is quite an authority regarding Cornelius C. Her name is Linda, and her address is linhayes@interl.net. I suspect that Linda would be quite pleased to hear from you, and that she may be able to provide you with some meaningful information. Good luck and happy hunting! Don Van Arsdale ============================== Personalized Mailing Lists: never miss a connection again. http://pml.rootsweb.com/ Brought to you by RootsWeb.com.
