Samuel Beidelman ... on August 13, 1793, purchased a tract of 183 acres on the banks of the Chemung River, near the village of Chemung, in Chemung County, New York, about three miles east of the battle-ground, for the consideration of $1875.00. The farm remained in the Beidelman family for more than a century, having passed from Samuel to his son, Jacob, in the year 1812, then in succession to his grandson, Henry, and great-grandson, James F. Beidelman, who owned the portion on which the old homestead is located, until the year 1906, when it passed to the ownership of one John Stermer. Another portion was owned by Samuel's son, John Beidelman, who sold it to his brother-in-law, Henry Snell, and is now owned by Fletcher W. Snell, a great grandson of Samuel Beidelman. A third portion was owned by Samuel's two daughters, Elizabeth and Rosanna Beidelman, both single, after whose death it became the property of Henry Snell's son, Gordon Snell, and is now owned by one Emmet Westfall.
