. History of Steuben County, New York, with illustrations and biographical sketches of some of its prominent men and pioneers. Steuben, Friedrich Wilhelm Ludolf Gerhard Augustin, Baron von, 1730-1794. W/Zx///"^'^^^-^^^^"^. J-I^'-P^LM^ L/Cl^l^ VALENTINE VAN WOEMER. Valentine Van Wormer was born in Charleston, Schoharie Co., N. Y., Oct. 22, 1812. His paternal ancestors came from Hol- land. He is the eleventh child in a family of thirteen children of Lawrence and Anna (Staley) Van Wormer, both natives of New Jersey. His Grandfather Van Wormer migrated from New Jersey, first settled on the Hudson River during the Revolution- ary war, and subsequently settled in Montgomery Co., N. Y. His father was a farmer in Montgomery County for twenty years, and traded his farm there for some eighteen hundred acres of land in the Conhocton valley, near the village of Lib- erty, on the Robert L. Bound's tract, and in 1816 settled in the town of Cohocton, where he purchased two hundred and fifty acres more. Some six hundred acres of this land he is said to have cleared and made ready for cultivation. He assisted in the erection of the first Methodist church here, and prior to that time the quarterly meetings of that de- nomination were often held in his barn for want of a more commodious building. He was one of the pioneers of the town and contributed largely to its early local enterprises. Although a man of very little book knowledge, he possessed much native talent and ability, was well informed, and had strong reasoning faculties. Prior to settling in this county he held various ofiicial posi- tions in Montgomery County, was a member of the Democratic party, and ranked as lieutenant in the old militia, with commis- sion signed by Governor Tompkins. He was a man of great perseverance, and known for his correct habits and strict integ- rity. For many years both he and his wife were consistent members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He died August, 1852, aged eighty-four.
