* Life of Miles Van Norman
The 1810 census of Shelburn Twp., Chittenden County, Vermont contains
Isaac, Fredrick and Miles VANORUM. Miles was 26-45 and Charlotte, 16-26.
They had both a son and a daughter under 10. Were they married about
1805-1806. Was this where Miles married Charlotte? Do marriage or other
records containing her maiden name exist? Are they on the 1800 census?
Pg 429 Frederick Vanorum 00111/00010
pg 429 Isaac Vanorum 00111/00001
pg 430 Miles Vanorum 10010/10100
November 2, 1810: Sophia reportedly born to Miles and Charlotte.
June 1813: Ethan, Heman and Miles VANORUM served in Judsons Regt of the
Vermont Militia during the War of 1812. Ethan’s service was in June of
1813.
September 2, 1815. Clarissa VAN NARNUM, probable daughter of Miles and
Charlotte, reportedly born in Vermont.
07 October 1818. Ethan VANARNEM died in or near Franklin Twp., Richland
County, OH. He was buried in the North Fork Cemetery at the Owl Creek
Baptist Church near the grave of Andrew SAMS. The family had obviously moved
to Ohio by this date.
1820 The Richland County census of 1820, Perry Township page 184 Contains
the following entry. Herman VANARMUM 1 male < 5, 1m 26-45, 1m over 45, 1f
10-16, 1f 26-45. One suspects this family to consist of Heman, his parents
and an unknown female.
1820 The Knox County Census of 1820 Morris twp., Page 93. Contains the
following entry:VANNORMAN, Miles, J. 1m<10, 1m10-15, 1m26-45, 5f<10, 1f
26-45.
04 July 1821. Isaac and Sarah Ann VANARNAM OR VANORMAN divided their land
among their 3 sons. Volume 2 Page 493 of Richland County deeds. Heman of
Richland County received part of the East ½ of the NW 1/4 of section 25,
township 18, range 20 as did Miles S. of Richland County (3:92) and
Frederick of Ontario County, NY. 2:507. Each apparently received 40 acres. I
believe that in light of this and the reported birth place of Jasper one
should consider the possibility that the family moved from Vermont to
Ontario county NY and then on to Ohio. These deeds establish that the 3 men
were brothers and sons of Isaac. Was Sarah their mother or a second wife?
There was apparently a daughter, Rachael Russel, nearby who did not share in
the bounty.
August 29, 1821. Isaac VANARNAM deeded his personal property to his son,
Heman,. Volume 2 page 506.
April 4, 1828: Miles Van Norman died. (Richland County Administration
Records 12:458.) Mile's father and mother, Isaac and Sarah Van Norman, had
owned the NW 1/4 of section 25 T18,R20 in Perry twp. of Richland Co. The
area became Congress Twp of Richland Co. in 1825 and Congress Tpw. of Morrow
County in 1848. This land was divided between their 3 sons, Heman, Miles
and Frederick Van Norman 04 July 1821. Miles received the SW 1/4 of it, 40
Acres. (Richland County Deeds 2:493, 506-7 and 3:92).
November 15, 1828: Charlotte Van Norman of Congress Township, Richland
County was appointed administrator of the estate of her late husband, Miles
Van Norman. (Administration Records 1:318).
December 25, 1828: Charlotta Vanornem filed an inventory of her late
husband's estate. She had almost nothing! There were $33.41 in items
listed and the most valuable item was a blind mare worth $5. She also had 9
children and was still single.
October 19, 1829: Charlotte Sams, formerly Vanorman or Vandorman or
Vannorman (All appear in this paper), petitioned to sell 40 acres of land,
the SW 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of S 25, T18, R20. Thus Sarah, wife of Abraham,
had apparently died and Abraham with his ca 8 children had married Charlotte
Van Norman, widow of Miles Van Norman, who had 9 children. (Elizabeth,
Sophia, Jasper, Clarissa, Jerusha, Nancy, Amanda, Rachel and Ira. I believe
that they are named more or less but not precisely from oldest to youngest).
Abraham and Charlotte's marriage occurred between 25 December 1828 and 19
October 1829. Charlotte's official year of mourning expired April 4, 1829.
Charlotte's petition to sell land was continued several times probably
because there were insufficient funds to settle the estate of her late
husband.
October 24, 1829: Abraham signed a paper leaving us his signature. He was
deputized to do something to help Charlotte with her estate.
Oct 20, 1830: Land owned by Miles J. Vanorman, 40 acres in the NW 1/4 of
Section 25, R20, T18 was delinquent for 1829 taxes. This was the land then
in Congress Township of Richland County that Miles had been given by his
parents in 1821. Richland County, Ohio newspapers 1830-1849. Vol 1, No. 46.
page 21-22.
May 23, 1831: The value of the above land was set at $101.50.
May 25, 1832: Charlotte's land was sold to John Russell for $70.01. This
was the SW 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of S 25 T 18 R 20 in 23A above. Charlotte
retained her right of dower until her death. Ct. Com Pleas 4:261. This was
the land Miles had been given by his parents, Isaac and Sarah in 1821.
(Charlotte's sister-in-law, Rachael Vanorman, was married to John Russell
thus the property was kept in the family and Charlotte had help after Miles
died.)
11 June 1833: The court declared the estate of Miles j. VANNORMAN insolvent.
Richland county Court of Common Pleas V5:114.
16 June 1833: In the manner of the estate of Miles J. VANNORMAN, the estate
will pay 35 cents and 5 mills on the dollar.
