Jacob B. Van Aernam, accompanied by his son Abram was the first to settle in the northwest part of the town, and located there in 1822. He was followed in the fall of the same year by John Chapman, and a little later by Samuel Harvey. Mr. Harvey was from Marcellus, Onondaga Co., and reached the place of his settlement Sept. 22, 1822. He returned to his native town, and remained during the following winter.On the 12th of March 1823, he in company with a young man named Daniel Wallace, each with a yoke of oxen, started for the new settlement. They had intended to start in the early part of the winter, and waited until March for snow to fall in sufficient quantity to make sleighing. Being disappointed in this, they started with wagons, finding good roads east of Genesee. West of that river they found snow; and at Warsaw there was so much snow that farther progress with a wagon was almost impossible. With great difficulty they reached a relative of Mr. Wallace’s, from whom they obtained an ox-sled; with this they reached a place on Cattaraugus Creek called Zoar. There they left the ox-teams, and proceeded on foot to the place of settlement. After crossing to the south side of the creek, and reaching the uplands, they found the snow from two and a half to three feet deep. They soon after returned to Zoar for their teams, and brought back with them about 500 pounds of hay, - all they could carry on the sled; but this was reduced nearly one-half in making the journey through trees, brush, over logs, etc. As soon as the snow settled sufficiently to enable them to work their teams in the woods, they went up to their lands and cut timber for a shanty. They stayed in the mean time with Jacob B. Van Aernam, who with John Chapman, assisted at the raising. The house was covered with "long shingles," made by splitting hollow logs through the centre; the first course being laid with the hollow side up, and the next conversely over the joints of these. An opening was cut in one side and a bed-quilt, hung before it, answered the purpose of a door. The floor was made of hewn basswood logs. They moved into this house about the middle of April, and then began chopping for a fallow. Mr. Harvey cleared 15 acres, and sowed it to wheat that fall.

that Abraham and two unnamed sons are the ones listed.

NOTE: a John Vanaermun, likely with a wife, both born ca 1811 - 1820
time period, are enumerated in Mansfield, Cattaraugus County, New York
at this time. Is he one of the "missing" sons?
Jacob Butterfield [error]; nxt to John Vanaerman; 02010001/00010001
A search of the internet turned up some interesting information on Jacob
B. including the fact that he was a Veteran of the War of 1812.
There is a wonderful biography of his son Henry, complete with a photo at the following website:

Chapter: Town Franklinville
.HENRY VAN AERNAM*
It states "His paternal ancestors emigrated from Holland to the American
colonies, and settled near Albany prior to the Revolution, his
grandfather taking an active part in the struggle for independence,and his son, Jacob B., imitating the worthy example of his patriotic sire,
actively participated in the war of 1812. " and documents their move
from the Town of Marcellus in Onondaga County, New York to Little Valley
(also called Cecilius, and finally Mansfield), Cattaraugus County, New
York in 1822.
It also mentions that Henry, born 1819, was the sixth child and 5th son
of Jacob and Hannah, confirming the idea indicated by the census, that
we did not have a complete list of children for the couple. [And for the
sake of argument, to fit the census returns, I have to believe that they
meant those children who reached adulthood, as the census tends to
indicate the presence of even more siblings.....unless there were other
additional children residing with the family]
The apparent family of Jacob Van Arnam and Hannah Wallace is as follows:
[subject to change]
son [died before Henry was born??]
Abraham (b.ca.1807 - d. ca. 1850/60) m. Helen F. ( ? ) Lived Wisconsin
daughter [died before Henry was born??]
Nathaniel (b. 1810 - alive 1870) m. Eunice Hunt Lived Wisconsin
daughter
son
son
Henry (b. 1819 - alive 1880) m. Melissa Amy Etheridge Lived New York
daughter
Lafayette (b. ca.1825/6 - alive 1900) m. Agnes Lived New York
Hiram (b. ca. 1828 - alive 1880) Lived Wisconsin and New York
As mentioned, to make Henry the sixth child and 5th son, I have to"kill
off" a brother and a sister before he was born, but after they appear in
the census. So I might not have the family completely correct!!!
One daughter supposedly married a Mr. Fuller, but I can't be sure which
one. [There is a Hannah Fuller, born ca. 1823 in New York, with a son La
Fayette Fuller, in the 1850 census that bears a closer look, but no
proof this is the one we are looking for......]
