Simeon Van Nortwick

(13 Sep 1765 - 17 Apr 1842)

Selkreg(Landmarks of Tompkins County): Simeon Van Nortwick "came from Monmouth county, N.J., in 1804, and settled on the farm now owned by Sarah A. Van Nortwick, one and a half miles south of Peruville, in the town of Dryden. His wife, whose maiden name was Rebecca Hendrickson, and the children Nellie, John, William and Joanna, accompanied him. The country at that time was very new, and one of the first things necessary after reaching their new home was for the pioneer to go five miles (one and a half miles west of West Dryden) for fire, it being their nearest neighbor."
