. 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. ABRAM HOLLENBECK I^OLLENBECK ABRAM HOLLENBECK, son of Joshua B. and Clarissa Hollenbeck, was born in Greene, Chenango Co., N. Y., Jan. 8, 1830. He is the sea)nd son in a family of five children. His father was a native of Massachusetts, and removed to New York when a young man. He married Clarissa Marsh, a native of Broome Co., N. Y., about 1826. By this marriage five children were born, viz.: David C, who was a soldier in the war of the Rebellion, and lost his life at City Point, Va.; Abram; Ann E., married D. F. Woodward, of Jasper; Margaret; and Emily, who mar- ried Franklin Velie, now a resident of Campbell. Joshua removed into Steuben County with his family in the winter of 1843, and settled in Thurston, and in the following spring located in Campbell. His business was farming. He purchased his farm, now owned by the estate, situated one and a half miles west of Curtis, in 1847, and the following spring settled upon it, his son Abram owning a half interest in the original purchase of one hundred acres. In politics he was a Whig and Republican. He died April 10, 1872, and his wife died Nov. 16, 1878. Both are buried in the cemetery below Curtis. Abram received a common-school education, and by application to his books has acquired practical business qualifications. He came to Campbell when a boy about thirteen years old with his parents, and has resided there ever since. He is one of the substantial farmers of the town, and well deserves to be ranked among the representative agriculturists of the county. Upon him has developed the care of his parents, though his father died at the age of seventy, and his mother at the age of seventy-six. He owns some two hundred and thirty acres of land west of Curtis, and has made creditable improvements upon his farm.
