| Notes |
- [mtunnell.ged]
His middle name reflects his father's admiration of Prussia
n General
Baron Von Steuben, whose leadership and drilling activities kept the
Continental Army together at Valley Forge during the winter of 1777-8.
Some time during that bitter December of 1777, it is clear that his
father visited his mother, and James Steuben came along nine monthslater.
In 1806, it is recorded that James S. Henshaw purchased from the Holland
Company a plot in Township 9, range 6. Quoted from PIONEER HISTORY OF THE
HOLLAND PURCHASE OF WESTERN NEW YORK, by O. Turner
He served in the War of 1812 as a Pvt., N.Y. State Militia

Soldiers of the War of 1812. Albany: 1860; Ancestry, Inc.;
