"Part of the uncertainty about which Van Arnam belongs to whom is that about the time Isaac 1704 settled in Pownal his brother, Abraham, seems to have settled somewhere nearby. (He's the Abraham commanding a company of Militia "above the Quackenkil" in 1767). My best guess is that Abraham located a little bit north and west over by Hoosic. His son Jacob (my GGGGgrandfather) settled about 1758 in Brunswick, NY. Luke Van Arnam was somewhere around there, too. There were a number of inlaws to these two families located in this vicinity. I think Isaac and Abraham's families must have been close, physically and psychologically. In the 1790 census, one of Abraham Van Arnam's sons, Richard, shows up in Shelburne, VT, more or less next door to the Isaac who married Sara Pierson, as I recall.
I have Abraham's family pretty well documented and sorted out so all the Van Arnams in Vermont (except Richard) most likely belong to Isaac 1704. Most of Isaac 1704's children seem to have migrated up north to the Plattsburgh area by 1800. Some of them seem to have gone off to Ohio later. But so did some of my line.
Most of the above information is unknown to anyone else. A lot of it is based on (well-informed) guess work." [email: Pete Gonigam 10/18/2005]

Email Pete Gonigam:
Abraham Van Arnam (1700), incidentally, is I believe the Abraham VanArnam mentioned as commanding the company of Albany Militia in 1767 or so and also the Abraham "Van Derdum" Esquire listed in the 1760 Pownal Charter. He probably lived to at least 1781.
