Notes for SIMEON VANNORTWICK: VanNortwick, Simeon, a pioneer, came from Monmouth county, N.J. in 1804 and settled on the farm now owned by Sarah A. VanNortwick, one and a half miles south of Peruville, in the town of Dryden. His wife whose maiden name was Rebecca Hendrickson, and the children Nellie, John, William and Joanna, accompanied him. The country at that time was very new, and one of the first things necessary after reaching their new home was for the pioneer to go five miles (one and a half miles west of Dryden) for fire, it being the nearest neighbor. The wife of Simeon VanNortwick died in 1817, after which he married Sarah Giles, widow of Benjamin Fulkerson, to whom were born two children, twin daughters: Rebecca M. who died aged twenty-one; and Sarah M. the wife of Rufus Lumbard, who is still living in Iowa City., IA. Simeon VanNortwick died in 1842, aged seventy- seven his wife survived him fifteen years, having died in 1857. William VanNortwick was born April 10, 1798, being but six years old at the time of their advent into Dryden. He succeeded his father as owner of the farm, now in the possession of his daughter, Sarah, A. in 1819 he married Sarah M.., daughter of Joel George, who also came from New Jersey in the early years of the century. She was born October 4, 1794 six children were born them: Mary E., born September 2, 1820, who married Daniel F. Bills, of Dryden, she died in February, 1891; Elizabeth was born September 13, 1822. She never married and died in April 1879; Clara was born October 13, 1824. She married George Mineah, of Dryden and is now a widow, living on the farm near her father’s old home: Sarah A. was born April 8, 1827. She never married and now resides at the old homestead: Luana was born November 22, 1829. She married Rich Morgan, of Groton, who died in 1861, after which she married Richard Morgan of the same town and is still living in Groton. Ellen V. was born August 17, 1837, and married William H. Richardson. She is living in Freeville. William VanNortwick died January 3, 1866, and his wife died February 16, 1874. The farm has never been out of the family in ninety years since it was first settled. William VanNortwick was one of the progressive and energetic men of early Dryden, a large land owner, a progressive and model farmer, and one of the few who enjoyed the distinction of being looked up to by all for his sterling integrity and unflinching honor among his fellowmen. From Ilona Franck, 2007 Van Nortwick, Simeon, with his family, came from New Jersey early n the year 1804, settling on the extreme northeast corner of Lot No. 15, for which he traded property in Monmouth county, N. J., the transfer having been made in the year 1802. Among the witnesses to the deed as not appears upon the old document itself was Jacob Vanderbilt, the father of Cornelius Vanderbilt, who afterwards accumulated such a vast fortune, and whose descendants now wield such a powerful influence in the financial world. Upon their arrival in their new home it was found necessary to go four miles, nearly one mile west of West Dryden, to obtain a live coal to start their first fire. William Van Nortwick was six years old at this time, afterwards a well known nd prominent farmer until his death in 1866 at the age of 68 years. Sarah Van Nortwick still lives on the same farm where her grandfather settled ninety-eight years ago. Goodrich, Geo B. ed. (1993). The Centenial History of the Town of Dryden, Third ed.
