Poorly sourced biography of a person notable primarily as the first settler of a small village. As always, this is not an automatic notability freebie in and of itself in the absence of sufficient reliable source coverage about him to get him over WP:GNG -- but the sources here are just contextlessly listed without being used to footnote any body content, and two of the three are just local history books which certainly mention his name without being all that strongly about him, while the third is just a primary source tax assessment roll which isn't support for notability at all. Being the first resident of a small village simply is not "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have considerably more sourcing than this.
