                   Isaac Van Meter, who appears to have remained in Virginia, where he married Hattie Beck, a daughter of Lydia Burden (Borden), whose father was Benjamin Burden (Borden) Sr., a very noted land developer in early Virginia. (See Kegley's 'Virginia Frontier, with reference to Borden's Grant). On November 6, 1739, for diverse good causes but more especially in consideration that Benjamin Borden, late of the Province of East Jersey, now of the county of Orange in Virginia hath lately caused to be imported and settled on the land hereinafter mentioned one family for every thousand acres,' there was granted the said Benjamin Borden one certain tract or parcel of land containing 92,100 acres."

Most of the Borden grant was located in present Rockbridge County, Virginia. Perrin's 'History states that Henry Van Meter had, before George Washington's day, surveyed the Fairfax estate, an immense tract of land granted by George III.

Another Jacob Van Meter, a man of some note in early day Kentucky, was born at what was known as White Stone Tavern, in Botetourt County, Virginia in January 1788 and came to Warren County, Kentucky, settling at Bowling Green, in 1818. He was in the mercantile business there for over fifty years, dying February 27, 1874. He also engaged in farming on a large scale, owning between 4,000 and 5,000 acres of land and a large number of slaves. He acquired great wealth, is said to have lost over $75,000 worth of property during "the late conflict between the South and the North." He built and operated the first steamboat on the Barren and Green Rivers; with James Skiles, he procured a charter and built the Bowling Green and Portage Railroad, the first railroad in Kentucky.

Jacob Van Meter of Warren County married Martha Usher Shrewsbury, of Irish descent. They were parents of eight children, Dr. Samuel K. Van Meter being one of their sons, William S. Van Meter another, who with his brother, Charles, in 1868 purchased the Grayson Springs property in Grayson County and developed it into one of the most popular watering places during the latter part of the last century. Following his death in 1884, the property was sold for $100,000, quite a sum for those days.
