|COPY OF OLD WILL

   In the name of God, Amen. I, Jacob Van Arsdol of the Town of Aurelius, County of Cayuga and State of New York, being not well in bodily health but of perfect understanding, considering the uncertain continuance of life, and the certainty of Death, do make this my last will and testament in manner and form following:

   First and principally I commit my soul to God my Creator, hoping thro' the merits of Jesus Christ the Redeemer of Souls to obtain a pardon of all my sins and to inherit everlasting life; and my body I commit to the Earth to be decently burried; and as to the worldly estate and goods with which God has blessed me I dispose of in manner and form following, viz:

   Imprimus. It is my will and desire that all my legal debts and funeral charges be paid out of the same, and that the residue and remainder be distributed in manner and form following, viz:

   First I give and bequeath to my kind and loving wife, Letty; one new Beuro together with one bed and beding and the appurtenances to the same likewise all her wearing apparel and a necessary support out of my devised estate.

   Secondly, I give and bequeath to my Son Garret forty Dollars current money of the State of New York over and above either of my heirs.

   Thirdly. As to the residue and remainder of my Real and personal estate, it is my wish and desire that it be equally divided between my heirs share and share alike.

   Fourthly. My real estate I leave to the discretion of my Executor either to sell or reserve the same as they may consider the most advantageous to my aforesaid heirs and legatees.

   Lastly, I constitute and appoint my beloved sons, Garret Van Arsdol and Peter Van Arsdol Executors to this my last

THE NEBRASKA AND MIDWEST GENEALOGICAL RECORD



Will and Testament hereby revoking all former wills by me heretofore made; and publish this only to be my last will and testament.

   In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this thirteenth day of September in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and seventeen.

Jacob Van Arsdol [Seal]

   Signed, sealed, published and declared by the above Testator as his last will and testament in the presence of us who subscribed our names as witnesses thereto in his presence:

Margaret Post
Catherin Stockton
Jacob Bogart.


SIMON JANSEN1 VAN ARSDALEN married Peternelle Claesen Wyckoff. Children:

1. Geertje
2. CORNELIUS
3. Jannetje
4. Jan*
5. Marretie
6. Matie

   There may have been other daughters but no other sons. (It has been claimed by some writers that the Simonsen family in America had its origin from the Van Arsdale family. The writer has no proof for such a statement. If a son or sons of Simon Jansen dropped the surname, Van Arsdalen, this might be possible but we do know the entire Van Arsdale family in America descended from Cornelius and Jan who did continue to bear the surname.)

   CORNELIUS2 VAN ARSDALEN married (1st) March 16, 1687, Aeltje Kouwenhoven. One child:

1. Jannetje

   He married (2nd) May 2, 1691, Marretje Dirkse, who is usually given as an Ammerman by most writers. I have no proof as to the surname before her marriage, so omit it. Children:

2. Dirck


   *See footnote on next page.

3. Jan
4. Symon
5. Philip
6. Abraham
7. JACOBUS
8. Altie
9. Peternella
10. Maria

   Cornelius made a will April 25, 1738, which was probated April 19, 1745, in Kings county, N. Y. * He mentioned his wife Maritie and all of the above ten children.

   JACOBUS3 VAN ARSDALEN married Alida Hoagland, daughter of Harmanus Hoagland and Adrianna Stoothoff of Flatbush. Children:

1. Harmanus, baptised June 21, 1745, at Harlingen, N.J.
2. JACOB, baptised Nov. 17, 1754, at Six Mile Run (now Franklin Park), N. J.

   This couple probably had other children but the writer has thus far been unable to find baptismal records of any others than the two mentioned above. I do have data regarding a Cornelius who was undoubtedly a son of this couple.

   The above Jacobus was probably the Jacobus Van Arsdalen who contributed six pounds sterling to the building of the new church at Harlingen, N. J., in 1749-50. He is also probably the Jacobus who contributed seven pounds toward the building of Neshanic, N. J., church in 1761 and another three pounds in 1772.

   JACOB4 VAN ARSDALEN married Alida Van Arsdalen (for the lineage of Alida see further). Children:

1. Jacob, baptised Oct. 13, 1776, at Harlingen, N. J.
2. GARRETT, baptised July 25, 1779, at Harlingen, N. J.
3. ALEDA, baptised Dec. 2, 1781, at Harlingen, N. J.
4. JAN, baptised Aug. 29, 1784, at Harlingen, N. J.
5. Peter M., baptised Oct. 24, 1788, at Harlingen, N. J.
6. JOSEPH, baptised Sept. 18, 1791, at Harlingen, N. J.
7. ABRAHAM, baptised Oct. 31, 1794, at Harlingen, N. J.


   *John Simonse Van Arsdalen, brother of Cornelius, made a will, 1736, which was probated in Queens county, N. Y., in 1756, in which he mentioned his wife Lammetie (Probasco) and the following children: Simon, Christoffel, Cornelius, John, Nicholas, Jurian (or Uriah), Ida, Peternella, Maria, Heletie and Sarah.

THE NEBRASKA AND MIDWEST GENEALOGICAL RECORD



   The above Jacob4 was the Jacob who emigrated to Owasco, Lake, Cayuga, N. Y., section about the year 1800. The most of his children, if not all of them, accompanied him. Baptismal data regarding grandchildren prove these data to be about correct. Jacob and his son Garrett, whose name is capitalized above, were both contributors to the building of the Owasco Outlet church in 1807. When the pews were auctioned in this church (Owasco Outlet, now Sand Beach) Jacob Van Arsdalen paid $68 for pew no. 28, the date of the sale being Nov. 17, 1810. On Nov. 24, 1810, Garrett, son of Jacob, bought gallery pew no. 6 for $25.

Supposed to be a descendant of James C. and Mary Elizabeth (Carter) Davis of "Broadfield," Spottsylvania, Va., married 1738, among whose descendants the baptismal name of Fielding is used very frequently. Their children, probably born in Kentucky, were: Elliott B., born 1818, of Cascade, Ia.; Albert G., born 1820; Eles S., born 1822; William B., born 1824; Rebecca C., born 1826, married John Sowerwine of Indiana; Jesse Moore, born 1829, died 1857 in Nodaway county, Mo., married Rose Delong; and Samuel B., born 1832. Some of their sons lived in Green county, Indiana, before emigrating to Dubuque and Cascade, Ia., and they may have removed there from Kentucky, also. Would like to correspond with persons descended from Fielding Davis or his brothers or sisters.
