Aaron Van Cleave was born c 1710 at Staten Island, Richmond County, New York. Capt. Aaron Van Cleave was born on 26. Jul. 1711 at New Utrecht, Kings County, New York. He was the son of Isbrand Van Cleve and Janetje Aerse Vanderbilt. Capt.

He was buried a 1780 at Burning Ridge Cemetery, Salisbury, North Carolina. He was buried at Joppa Cemetery, Salisbury, North Carolina. The Van Cleef Family by Wilson V. Ledley (Library of Congress #75-7491)

The following is copied from a manuscript loaned by R.S. Harvey:
Aaron Van Cleef was born, presumably about 1711, on Staten Island, the son
of Isabrant and Janneke Van der Bilt Van Cleef. He removed to New Jersey and
on September 24, 1734 he married at Middletown to Rachel Schenck, who was born
about 1709. So far as known Aaron was the first member of the family to spell
the name Van Cleave with an "A".
On October 17, 1737, Reuben Ruynon and Aaron Van Cleave were appointed
"chimney viewers" for the town of New Brunswick, and at the time Mayor James
Jude took office, that town was credited with ninety-one freeholders, among
them being Aaron and Benjamin Van Cleave. Therefore, Aaron must have moved to
New Brunswick shortly after his marriage.
It is said that Aaron and his brother Benjamin, were partners in some sort
of business, but what kind is not known. They became involved in debt, which
caused Aaron to move to North Carolina.
It seems that Aaron Van Cleave at one time was engaged in the coast-wise
trade as the Captain of a trading vessel. In the volume of newspaper
clippings, published as part of the Archives of New Jersey, are found various
references, to wits...

(Boston New Letter 11 Oct 1744)
The will of Joseph Williams, of Squam, Monmouth County, N.J. 25 Jan 1763,
proved 11 Oct 1766, states that the sum of One Hundred Pounds was to be
collected from Captain Van Cleef, brother of Benjamin Van Cleef of Monmouth.
Aaron Van Cleef was a witness to the will of Alexander Henry, of New
Brunswick, Somerset County, N.J., 18 Mar 1744. In the spring of 1751 Aaron emigrated from New Brunswick, with his family,
and on 1 May 1751 he arrived at the forks of the Yadkin River, in Rowan County,
North Carolina, where he settled and spent the remainder of his life. At that
time the family is said to have consisted of the father, mother, seven sons and
one daughter.
In the Courthouse at Salisbury, North Carolina is the original record of
deed by which Daniel Boone transferred 640 acres of land to Aaron Van Cleave
for the sum of 80 pounds "Proclamation money of the State of North Carolina".
This deed is dated 21 Feb 1764 and was proved of record in the April 1764 term
of Court. It was signed by Daniel Boone and Rachel Boone, who made her mark
and witnessed by Thomas H. Holman, Samuel Bailey, who made his mark, and
Benjamin Van Cleave. The County Clerk was John Hiscock. The deed describes
the land, which was the first home of the Boones at the forks of the Yadkin
River, and shows the transfer of the tract on 29 Dec 1753, from the original
grant by the "Right Honorable John" Earl of Granville, to Squire Boone. On 12
Dec 1759, Daniel Boone, Planter bought this tract from his father for fifty
pounds.
Aaron Van Cleave at one time served as Constable in an for the "Lower end
of the Forks" of the Yadkin. He was one of the leaders of the group that met
at the "Dutchman's Creek Meeting House".
He is said to have attended and participated in the meetings in N.C. which
resulted in the appointment of the Committee of Patriots that drafted the
famous Hecklenburg "Declaration of Independence" 20 May 1775.
Aaron Van Cleave died in 1780 and is buried in the Burning Ridge Cemetery
at the forks of the Yadkin. His wife, Rachel, is said to be buried there also,
but whether she died before or after Aaron is not known. A tract of land was
granted in Kentucky in 5 Mar 1782 to Rachel Van Cleave. (Note: this is
probably Rachel Ryker-Van Cleave, the second wife of John Van Cleave, son of
Aaron). The will of William Van Cleave, in Mercer County, KY, 2 Sep 1786 was
witnessed by Rachel Van Cleave. Whether either of these was the widow of Aaron
is not known.
Of the seven sons of Aaron, one, Samuel, is said to have gone to Virginia,
and one, Thisgen, to Ohio. Of these two nothing more is known, except that a
descendant of Samuel once visited Rev. Johnathan Van Cleave at Crawfordsville,
Indiana.
The other five sons, with their sister Jane, went to Kentucky with the
Boones. John about 1775, William and Benjamin in 1776, Jane in 1777, and Ralph
and Aaron Jr. in 1785.
An undated petition in North Carolina, shortly prior to 1775, was signed
by Aaron, Benjamin, Ralph and William Van Cleave.
The families of William, Benjamin, and Jane settled first at Lynn's
Station and the Little Beargrass, a few miles from the Falls of the Ohio.

JONATHAN VANCLEAVE, the venerable and eloquent pioneer preacher whose early round of ministerial duties called him to speak the word throughout Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky and Indiana, located in Montgomery County, Ind., more than three score years ago and is to day an honored resident of Brown Township. Aged in years, he is yet well preserved in mind and body and strong in the service of the " Master." Ordained in 1849, and ever since with never failing zeal engaging in religious work, our subject can to-day deliver a sermon whose arguments are as clear, forcible and persuasive as they were fully forty years ago.

Born in Shelby County, Ky., in 1805, the Rev. Jonathan Vancleave may claim direct descent from an ancestry of brave and hardy patriots. His great-grandfather, Aaron Vancleave, a man of strong character and earnest purpose, emigrated from Holland to America before the colonists had en gaged in their determined struggle for independ­ence from the mother country. Stirring events, however, were near at hand; the whole country was ablaze with indignation, the colonies joined in a federal union and the war of the Revolution was declared. Actuated by stern resolve and ardent enthusiasm. seven stalwart sons of the old Hollander entered the ranks and bravely fought for God and liberty. Two of these patriotic defenders of our national existence served in the War of 1812.

The Vancleaves settled in an early day in Kentucky and the five elder sons of old Aaron Vancleave Jonathan, William, Ralph, Aaron and Benjamin made their home within the borders of that state, but one son located in Ohio and another in Virginia. The only sister of these seven energetic, hardy men was Jane, who married Squire Boone, the brother and devoted companion of the famous old hunter and Indian scout, Daniel Boone, whose wife and daughters were the first white women who ever stood upon the banks of the Ken tucky river. While Daniel Boone and his brother were on a hunting excursion Squire Boone was killed and scalped by the Indians. Amid the perilous and exciting scenes of those pioneer days upon the borders of frontier life, the father of our subject, Ralph Vancleave, was born; his wife Elizabeth Stebbins, was a native of Puritanical New England and a woman of rare character and ability; both parents were deeply imbued with the spirit of religion and were active members of the Baptist Church.

Jonathan Vancleave, their son and our subject, was born in Shelby County, Ky., in 1805. He was the eldest in a family of seven children and was reared in his early home. In 1827 he married Elizabeth Vancleave, a daughter of Aaron Vancleave, a distant relative of the family into which the young wife now entered. The newly wedded couple journeyed at once to Montgomery County, Ind., and settled in the dense woods upon a farm, where they now reside. The Indians occupied a large body of land near by, but the newcomers were fearless and soon grew accustomed to their daily presence. Our subject has never enjoyed the advantages of even a primary school, but soon after his marriage his intelligent and cultivated wife taught him to read, and assisted by her earn­est efforts the husband gained a wide book of knowledge and a liberal education. Later, feeling himself called to preach "the Gospel," he made a preparation and was ordained in the county in 1840. There were present at the ordination, from various localities, near and remote, the delegates of seventeen different church organizations, all deeply interested in the addition to their religious forces of a powerful leader and representative of a family long noted for their zeal in church work.

The Rev. Jonathan Vancleave, as we have before mentioned, did not confine his ministerial duties to the state of Indiana but preached eloquently in all the neighboring states, and through his earnest sincerity and strength of purpose wrought much good and made for himself a last­ing remembrance in the religious work of this progressive century. Our subject and his faithful wife were blessed with a family of eight children, of whom seven are still living: David is a farmer of Parkersburg; Ralph is a carpenter in Elmdale; Ranson lives upon the old homestead; Adam is a resident of Trenton, Mo; Aaron is dead; Lacy is the wife of Mark Skelton; Jane married William Coons; Emily is the wife of Martin Badgley. Although fast nearing his eighty eighth birthday, the Rev. Jonathan Vancleave is still a hale and hearty man. His wife, the devoted sharer of his life work, died in 1888. Their children, useful, upright and highly respected, are living within easy distance, and thus the venerable pioneer is gliding down life's pathway surrounded by the loving care of sons and daughters and still enjoying the society of old friends and neighbors of more than a half century's acquaintance. Our subject owns a quarter section of fine land and carefully treasures the old parchment deed which fully records the right of his fall possession to the valuable acres therein described. The Vancleaves have almost always supported the Democratic party since its first formation, and our subject, while never neglecting his religious work to engage in politics, has ever done his duty at the polls as became him as a true American citizen and ardent advocate of reform and progress.

     Rev. Matthias Mount Van Cleave was born on 26. Nov. 1810 at 9 miles from, Shelbyville, Shelby County, Kentucky. He was the son of Benjamin Samuel Van Cleave Jr. and Mary Stephenson Mount. Rev. Matthias Mount Van Cleave removed to at Montgomery County, Indiana, in 1824. He married Nancy Nicholson, daughter of Henry Nicholson and Nancy (Unknown), on 7. Oct. 1830 at Montgomery County, Indiana. Rev. Matthias Mount Van Cleave married Charity Hunter on 1. Oct. 1853. Rev. Matthias Mount Van Cleave died on 26. Oct. 1897 at Crawfordsville, Montgomery County, Indiana, at age 86. He was buried at IOOF Cemetery, Union Twp., Montgomery County, Indiana.

REV. MATHIAS MOUNT VAN CLEAVE, the subject of this sketch, is one of the old settlers of this section and has had a life full of adventure and experience. He was born nine miles from Shelbyville, on Bull Creek, Ky., March 26, 1810. At this place Benjamin Van Cleave and Daniel Boone had made a settlement in early days and were closely connected in their hunting and trapping experiences, and the history of that day mentions Grandfather Van Cleave in connection with the famous Kentucky pioneer. The son of this Benjamin Van Cleave was the father of our subject, and his mother was Mary Mount, the daughter of Mathias Mount.

In the fall of 1824, Benjamin Van Cleave came to Montgomery County and settled eight miles south of Crawfordsville, where he secured seven hundred acres of land, and here his death occurred about the year 1852, his widow surviving him until 1872. Our subject was the eldest of a family of nine children, of whom five are yet living. These are well known over the State and have kept the good old pioneer name up to the standard.

Our subject started out in life for himself upon eighty acres of land given him by his father, and then he was married. The name of his wife was Nancy Nicholson and he was united to her in 1830. Her parents were Henry and Nancy Nicholson, who live two and one-half miles north of Crawfordsville. Mrs. Van Cleave had a twin sister who resembled her very closely After one year upon the farm, Mr. Van Cleave came out upon the prairie and entered two hundred acres of land near Linden, and then bought out the heirs of his father-in-law and moved upon that farm, where he continued for five years.

At this time our subject laid out the village of Brown's Valley, in Brown Township, upon land that he had bought of his father. At that time John Milligan had laid out the town of Waveland, and it was decided to have a meeting to decide which was the most desirable spot upon which to locate a town. Still another man named Hclminson had laid out a town, but when the vote was taken it was decided that the location of Mr. Van Cleave's land was the best for the town center. This was in 1836, and that year our subject tradcd the old homestead for a stock of goods at Delphi, and there he continued for one year. At that time a canal was being built there, and he secured the right to make a water-power upon the creek north of Crawfordsville. Here he erected a frontier mill; including a carding-mill and a hominy machine, and in 1838 he secured a tract of land here and made this his home. At this place he had a fine spring, and this made it a desirable place of residence.

Here our subject continued for twenty-two years, engaged in the furniture business, which he carried on with success, and he still owns the land where his son now lives. The mill-power which contributed so much to his success in life was for a twenty-foot over-shot wheel and he secured the first engine that was ever erected in Crawfordsville. For six years our subject lived upon a farm near Fredericksburg, but in 1865 he returned to this city and has lived here ever since. In 1832 he was licensed to preach and filled the Union Church at Waveland, Swentsburg, Indian Creek and Crawfordsville, and was ordained in 1850 as a minister in the Baptist Church. His ministrations were always welcome, as he was a good and able expounder. and he never asked a cent of pay.

In his political opinions, our subject was formerly a Whig, but now votes with the Democratic party. The death of his wife in 1853 left him with a family as follows: Lovina and Benjamin, who died in early life; Serena, the wife of James McCabe, an attorney and politician of Williamsport; William N., who for ten years was a sales-man for McNiel & Higgins, in Chicago, and now lives in Crawfordsville; Samuel M., who is a salesman in Kansas City, Mo; Dorcas Ann, Mrs. John Hunt, of this city; and Joel L., who died in 1873, at the age of thirty years. William N. married on the 10th of March, 1861, Miss Louisa J. Summers, of Parke County, and has the following family: Mrs. Frank Gillespie, of Normal, Ill.

Her maiden name was Harris. She was the daughter of Hon. Thomas E. Harris, of Virginia, who came to Montgomery County in 1836 and served a term in the State Legislature in 1850. Mrs. Van Cleave had one daughter, Elizabeth Walker, who married Joseph Fisher and died one year later.

The first couple married by Elder Van Cleave was in 1847, when he united Thomas Doyle and Mary Davis. He has performed about eight hundred marriage services, many more than any one else in the county and probably in the State.
