Bio: Arnold Van Fossen was born ca. 1665 in Crefeld, present-day Germany. His wife was Trencken (Mary) Jacobsen, whom he married on Jan 12, 1686 in Crefeld. She was born ca. 1667 and died ca. 1708, about the age of 41..

He sailed from Hamburg-Altona, present-day Germany, for Pennsylvania on May 3, 1700 as a Mennonite refugee. He was among the first settlers at Germantown, Pennsylvania. He is listed with his wife as two of the 99 members of the Mennonite church on May 23, 1708. In a 1773 letter, the history of the church was recounted, and included the following: "Later, strife having arose between Hans Neuss and Arnold van Vossen, for Hans Neuss believed himself to have been wronged, he withdrew from the church and never reunited with it throughout his life."

On Dec 26, 1700, William Ruttenhuysen, a paper maker, sold fifty acres to Arnold Van Vossen for 60 pounds. The sale was witnessed by Herman op de Graef and John Neuws. (Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, vol 18, p 283)

On Jun 28, 1701, a tax was laid for the building of a prison, erection of a market, and other objects for the public good. Arnold Van Vossen was listed as a patron.

On Feb 10, 1702-3, Arnold Van Fossen conveyed to Jan Neuss, on behalf of the Mennonites, a deed for three square perches of land for a church. The size of the plot was later increased when he conveyed, on Sep 5, 35 square perches or poles "for a place to erect a meeting house for use and service of the Mennonites, alias Menisten, and for a place to bury their dead."

On Jun 2, 1713, Arnold Van Vossen was one of the petitioners who asked the Court of Quarter Sessions in Philadelphia for a road or cartway, which was the beginning of Skippack Pike.

On Oct 1, 1714, Arnold Van Vossen sold the land that he had bought from William Puttenhuyser, to John Hall of Germantown for 46 pounds. At that time Arnold was a resident of Bebbers Township. (Johnson, Studies of Some Providence Families, p 106)

In 1725, he signed another petition to the Philadelphia Court, asking that a township be organized and named "Skippack and Perkiomen." The petition was granted and the town laid out. (Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, vol 4, pp 38-9)
