"We proceeded to Shelburn and stopped at Acres Point, being wind-bound, when Baker and I. Vanornom set out through the woods to see the lands and find New Huntington corner....In the morning before sun rise we discovered two boats coming up the river towards us, which proved to be two dark canoes, four of his men and ten Indians, all well armed with guns and our whole party was seven men. Capt. Baker had a cutlass, I. Vanornaum a gun and I [Ira Allen] a case of pistols. These were all the arms we had; nevertheless, we determined to defend the ground. I prepared our men with axes, clubs, and arranged ourselves on the bank about two rods from the water, tying our prisoners to a pole behind. Stevens was the first man out of the canoes, and while the rest were getting out, he came up the bank with a hatchet in his hand, with large pistols pocket, and made towards Baker, Baker opened his brest, inviting to strike, if he dared. Stevens demanded why his men were tied. Baker answered it was his pleasure. Stevens drew a scalping knife from his bosom, and turned towards them, (not daring to attempt to strike Baker, as Vanornam's gun was pointed on him. When about 30 feet of me, I presented a pistol at him, with a solemn word that death was his portion instantly if he stepped one step farther, or attempted to touch the pistols in his pocket. At this, he stopped with a pale countenance, & by this time, his party appeared prepared to come up the bank; when I spoke to Vanornam, who had been a prisoner with the Indians to tell the redmen in their own language, that they and we were brothers, that they were welcome to hunt on our lands when they pleased, that this was a land quarrel, that did not concern them. Vanornam spoke to them in their own language to that effect, and they instantly leaped to their canoes, leaving Stevens and his men prisoners. "

[Wikipedia "New Hampshire Grants"]
The grants were usually six miles (9.6 km) square (the standard size of a U.S. survey township, although the Public Land Survey System is not used in Vermont) and cost the grantee(s) £20. The grants were then subdivided amongst the proprietors, and six of the lots were set aside, one for the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts (a missionary organization of the Church of England), one for the Church of England itself, one for the first clergyman to settle in the township, one for a school, and two for Wentworth himself. The permanent annual tax on each grant, called a quitrent, was one shilling, paid directly to the king.
______________
Between 1765 and 1776, the colony of New York issued 107 patents of town-sized parcels of land in what is now called the state of Vermont. Most were issued after New Hampshire stopped selling its own grants of Vermont land. Twenty-four were never given town names. Of the remaining 83 patents, only five towns would remain with their names unchanged. Twenty more were reissues of New Hampshire grants. The remainder -- fifty eight patents -- were little more than tiny short-termed settlements, if that. Since they really only existed on paper, they were called "Paper Towns."

Records of the Governor & Council of the State to Vermont vol. 3
Isaac (Vannaughnum) and Jesse Welden, requested permission to hunt in northern Vermont, north of the Onion River (Winooski River). The request was granted by the Vermont General Assembly on Saturday, October 12, 1782. The index lists him this way: “Vannaughnam, [Vanornum, or Vanernum,] Isaac, 4.”

DNA
post to the vannorman mailing list by Stephen 2 Mar 2014:
Our latest participant descends from the family of Isaac Van Ornum
(c1744 - 1822) & Sarah Pierson, a "brick wall" line. His results confirmed
that Isaac was related to Jan Dirckszen & Sarah Theunis and is likely their
descendant as we believe Jan D. to be the progenitor of the line in North
America.
However, a mutation [#18 @@ DYS 570] is shared with another "brick wall"
descendant - that of Isaac V. Van (N)orman (c1797 - 1886), indicating that
likely these two lines link to a common ancestor before connecting back in
with the others. No connection is currently known between the two lines,
and it appears that Isaac (c1744) is not a direct ancestor of Isaac
(c1797), so this opens the door to some interesting possibilities. (They do
both have a Vermont location as a common denominator however.)
In addition, this Isaac's (c1744) line does not appear to be closely
related to the Luykas Van Orman (1738) / Sarah Pain line, so I believe that
we are looking at either descendants of a different son of Jan Jansz Van
Aarnhem & Hester Fonda or perhaps even a line down through one of the
brothers of Jan Jansz......
You will recall that I have been pressing for a descendant of Abraham
and Alida (Lansing) Van Arnhem and likewise one from Jan Dirk and Elizabeth
(Lansing) Van Arnhem to be tested so we could identify their father's (Jan
Janse) Y-DNA markers. This is one instance that they might be very
revealing - if one of those descendants has the #18 mutation as well!
Our results can be seen at http://www.familytreedna.com/public/vannorman
with the test results under "Y-DNA Results" and my write-up under "About
this Group - Results".
