. 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. General Jacob H. Lansing was born in the city of Albany, N. Y., March 9, 1824. His paternal ancestor came to this country from Holland about the year 1620, with the Van Kensselaers and many other prominent families who became the first settlers in the vicinity of Albany. His great-grandfathers, on both sides, were officers in the war for independence, and his grandfather, Jacob Lansing, was a captain in the State troops in the war of 1812. His father, James Lansing, was a merchant, lived most of his life in Albany, and died at the residence of his son in Corning, in 1869, aged seventy. His mother, Sarah McMurrey, died in Albany in 1828, at the age of about twenty-seven. Their children were two sons, the youngest, Charles Edward, dying while young. Mr. Lansing apprenticed himself to learn the watch-making trade at the age of fif- teen, serving out a term of six years. Upon reaching his majority he for two years worked as journeyman, and in the year 1847 went to Rochester, and soon after to Syracuse, and in 1848, in March, settled in Cor- ning, and established business for himself, which he con- tinued until 1858. From that time until the beginning of the Rebellion he carried on business for William Walker, of Corning. In August, 1861, he volunteered in the service of his country as a private of Company C, and upon the organi- zation of the 86th Regiment New York Volunteers, Col. B. P. Bailey commanding, was elected captain of his com- pany, with rank from August, 1861.
