(1) According to tradition-not a safe dependence, usually-John Brad-
bury and his wife Elizabeth came to this country from England with six
children-three sons and three daughters. He was already settled at
“Achquickenuncke ” when he bought from the East Jersey Proprietors,
March 28, 1698, for f 15 ” current silver money of the Province,” a tract
of fifteen acres on Bareskin brook; also another tract about fifteen
chains square, ” bounded south by the Dutch Men’s Land west by the
Third river and hisown land, north by Achquickenunk line,east by Sam-
uel Plum and Samuel Ward.” He subsequently bought more land from
John Plum, of Newark, (1) and at a later date became the owner of a
tract known as Lot No. 1, in the Acquackanonk Patent; also of Lot No.
13, East, in the Bogt subdivision. He had considerable mills on the
Third river, and altogether was a man of importance in the community.
The name is variously written in the records as Bradbury, Broadberry,
and in Dutch as Braet-berri, the pronunciation being always the same.
Delightfully vague rumors have come down through succeeding genera-
tions of a vast ” Bradbury Estate ” lying dormant in England, awaiting
claimants. As an aid to these prospective heirs, but particularly for the
light it gives on the title to various tracts in the ancient Acquackanonk
Patent, the will of John Bradbery is given herewith:

Thousand Seven hundred & thirty Nine in the thirteen year of the reign

Richard Bradbery failed to comply with the conditions of his father’s
will, and having left no issue the entire estate of John Bradbery
descended to Susanna Ludlow, Elizabeth Van Riper and the children of
Mary Berry, and these heirs mutually released to each other. Jan
Berry, son of Mary, received from the other heirs a deed, Dec. 20, 1770,
for part of Lot No, 1, at Acquackanonk, on the Third river, containing 68
acres(2) Lot No. 13, East, in the Bogt, appears to have been allotted to
Abraham Berry and William Berry, who sold the same to Cornelis Ger-
ritse and Cornelis Van Riper, April 20, 1772, the former taking a one-
third interest, and the latter two-thirds; Jacob Cornelius Van Riper,
mason, of Acquackanonk, released to Simeon John Van Winkle and

the Lot, April 15, 1788, and conveyed the remaining two-thirds to John
Neafie, May 2, 1788.(3) John Ludlow received lands near Third river, and

Dirck-Thomas-Juriaen Thomasse and PietertJe Post had
child:
1. Dirck, m. ist, Claasje Vreeland, b. and living at
Wesel, Nov. 30, 1755; 2nd, Fytje Wagenen, wid. of
Dirck Vreeland, Oct. 14, 1787. This elderly couple lived
on the River road, south of Passaic, on opposite sides of the
Mineral brook road. As they were comfortably settled in
their own homes, they concluded to remain so , accordingly,
Dirck would call upon his wife, spend a sociable evening
with her) and then return to his own home. It does not
appear that they disagreed in any way; neither has it been
explained why they married at all, under such circum-
stances. This singular arrangement excited a great deal of
curiosity and comment in its day, but the parties most con-
cerned paid no attention to the comments of their neighbors
and continued their friendly but unconnubial relations for
fifteen years. Through Dirck’s farm the Mineral Spring
brook meandered. A minor tributary so abounded in tur-
tles that the Dutch called the adjacent elevation at Brook
avenue, Schellepute-berg (2)-Turtle Hill. Dirck died in-
testate, May 23, 1802, aged 69 yrs., 6 mos., 26 days, and his
four sons-in-law-Walling Van Winkle, Cornelius Sip,
Adrian M. Post and John Merselis-were appointed ad-
ministrators, May 25, 1802, just two days after his death.
His widow survived her quasi husband sixteen years. The
will of Sophia Van Riper is dated Jan. 14, 1809 ; witnessed
by Garret Van Riper, Helmagh Sip and Richard Riker;
proved May 13, 1818.(3) in it she devises all her estate to
her three sons-Richard Vreeland, Hermanns Vreeland,
and Ralph Vreeland, including 107 acres at Horseneck,
known by the name of “Wortelrly ,” also a lot of land in
the “houttine.”(4).

IV. Cornelius, m. 1st, Margaret Vreeland; 2d, Eliza-
beth Vreeland, Nov. 15, 1779. By deed (unrecorded), June
11, 1767, Cornelius Aeltse conveyed to his son, Cornelius
Van Reypen, for £300 and other causes: “The frunt part
of my lott of land on which I now dwell beginning at the
northeast corner of my land at a rock at Passaic River,
from thence westerly all along my line to a stone planted in
the ground along the highway which leads to the Falls near
the northwest corner of my barn, from thence southerly the
full breadth of my lott to another stone planted on the line
between me and Hendrick Post from thence easterly as my
line runs down to Passaic River, thence all along Passaic
River northerly to the place of Beginning: Containing six
acres be the same more or less,” the said Cornelius Aeltse
reserving for himself and his family during his natural life,
“the use of so mutch of the edifices on the premisses and of
the premisses and appurtenances as he may judge necessary.”
He doubtless wished to carry on his occupation at the
forge so long as he might have the ability to wield a ham-
mer or shoe a horse. Cornelius Van Reypen appears to
have been a man determined to have his rights, but at the
same time willing to assert them peaceably. In May, 1795,
he and his neighbor, Henry Post, had a controversy with
the representatives of the estate of Peter Vreeland, de-
ceased, as to their most westerly line, under the Wesel moun-
tain. The matter was left to John Elias Vreeland, Paul
Powlison and Abraham Willis, who made an award, estab-
lishing the beginning place “at the southwest corner of
Henry Posts line, eighty four chains distant from the cross
line of the division of the Wesel lots on a course N. 53. 12′
W. and from thence running N. 37. 48′ E. along marked
trees (mentioned) to stake and stones in the line of heirs of
Elias Vreeland deceased.” The administrators of Peter
Vreeland thereupon executed a release (unrecorded), May
25, 1795, to Henry Post and Cornelius Van Reypen, of all
the land east of the line so established by the award. A
like dispute between Cornelius Van Reypen, on the one
side, and Michael H. and Cornelius Vreeland, owners of
the Dree Hoek or Lot No. I, West, in the Bogt subdivision,
on the other part, regarding the line between that Lot and
Lot No. 13, in the Wesel subdivision, was referred to the same
arbitrators, who made a report (unrecorded) determining
the line; whereupon Michael H. and Cornelius Vreeland
executed a release (unrecorded) to Van Reypen, May 25,
1795, of all lands south of said line. The will of Cornelius
Van Riper, made March 13, 1798 during his last illness,
and proved March 31, 1798, is commendably brief:
In the Name of God Amen. I Cornelius Van Riper of Weasal in the
township of Accquacknonk, County of Essex and State of New Jersey,
being of sound mind and memory, but weak of body, do make and pub-
lish this my last Will and Testament: First, my will is that all my hon-
est debts shall be paid out of my Estate by my Executors herein after
named. Second, I give and bequeath to my children by my first wife
Margaret, namely, Seithtee, Rachel and Pegge, to their heirs and assigns
forever sixty pounds, moneys they have got by their mother’s Estate,
and all the personal Estate that is left, which was brought by their said
mother to me, to be equally divided between them share and share alike.
Thirdly, I give and bequeath to my two child by my last wife Elizabeth,
namely, Mary and Jenny, to their heirs and assigns forever, one hun-
dred pounds, money they have got by their mother’s Estate, and also
Page 163b
all the personal Estat now in being, which their said mother brought
to me, to be equally divided between them share and share alike.
Forthly, I give and bequeath to my first children Sithtee, the children
of Rachel and to Peggy, my two daughters and my daughter Rachel’s.
children, my negro wench Sary, and her daughter a small negro girl,
named Nance, to their heirs and assigns forever, the value of them to
be divided in three parts equally to them the said Sitree, Peggy and the
children of Rachel. Fifthly, I give and bequeath to my two daughters
Mary and Jenny, children of my last wife my negro wench named Laur,
and my negro boy named Tom, to them the said Mary and Jenny, their
heirs and assigns forever. Sixthly, I give and bequeath my negro man
Jim and the rest of my personal Estate to all my children; that is to say :
To Sithtee, Peggy, Mary, Jenney and Rachel’s children to their heirs
and assigns forever, to be equally divided between them, that is, the two
children of Rachel to have one equal share. Seventhly, my will further
is, that all my real or landed Estate; that is to say; The farm I now-
dwell upon, with the appurtenances, and a small lot of woodland lying
at the foot of the mountain to the west of a lot of meadow of Ebnr Blackly,
shall be equally divided between all my children, namely, Sithtee, Peggy,
Mary, Jenney and Rachel’s children, to them their heirs and assigns for-
ever share and share alik; that is to say: The two children of Rachel,
Peggy and Abigel, to have one full share laetween them: And I do
appoint my son in law John Berry, and my son in law John McCarty,.

tament In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this
thirteenth day of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven
hundred and ninety-eight. (1)

Garrett D. Van Reipen of Jersey City, N.J.
| GARRETT DANIEL VAN REIPEN was born in Bergen, now Jersey City, January 26, 1826. He comes of the old Dutch stock. When a boy, Mr. Van Reipen attended the old Columbia Academy of Bergen, and afterwards finished his education in a private school. Most of his early life was spent on the farm. In 1855 he engaged in the grocery trade. After following that business for three years he gave it up. In 1855 he was elected one of the first aldermen Hudson City ever had. He served one year. In 1856 he was elected mayor of that city, succeeding E. R. V. Wright, who was the first mayor. In 1863 Mr. Van Reipen was re-elected,and filled that position continuously until 1871. When Hudson City was annexed to Jersey City he was elected to the office of alderman, and was president of that body for two years. At the breaking out of the war Mr. Van Reipen was among the first who responded to President Lincoln’s call for volunteers in the three months’ service. He went out as a lieutenant and was made captain of Company A, Second Regiment, on the field. At the close of the war the regiment was reorganized as the Fourth Regiment, N. G., N.J., with Col. Hiram Van Buskirk in command, and Mr. Van Reipen was made reg-imental paymaster. In 1862 Gov. Olden appointed Mr. Van Reipen quartermaster at Camp Olden, located at Hudson City. He held that position until the end of hostilities. In 1868, when the Hudson City Savings Bank was incorporated, Mr. Van Reipen was elected treasurer of that institution, and in 1870 he was made president and treasurer and has presided in that capacity ever since, to the entire satisfaction of stockholders and others interested in the bank. Mr. Van Reipen has been a director in the Hudson County National Bank for a number of years. He is also a member of the American Institute and the Holland Society, of New York City. He is a trustee of the Hudson City Savings Bank,a member of the county board for equalization of taxes, He has filled almost every local position of honor and trust, and commands the universal respect of the entire community.

lived at Rutherford. His wife was probably a sister of
Metje Brouwer, who m. Christophel Van Rype in 1746.
When the latter couple had their child Gerrit baptized,
Sept. 4, 1764, the witnesses were Christophel Jurrianse and
Annatje Brouwer, showing that friendly relations still sub-
sisted between the families, notwithstanding the change in
name. Tradition says that there was a great lawsuit be-
tween these two men, and each being called Christophel
Van Rypen, dire confusion ensued; hence, it was concluded
to call one of them Van Rypen, and the other Jurrianse.
Another version is that there was a hot quarrel between
them, and Christophel Jurrianse got permission to change his
name to Van Rype. Tradition adds, with a particularity
that ought to be convincing, “And it cost him a big lot of
money, too.” As a matter of fact, however, his children,
with one exception, retained the name Jurrianse, or Yere-
ance.

dam, and of raising the water as high as necessary,”(4)
About this time he bought the Peter Gerritse farm, on the
Wesel road, extending from the river westwardly about to
the present Main street, where he carried on farming for
many years. His residence was where John Henry Merselis
now lives. Fifteen or twenty years later he bought a tract
of 300 acres of land between Waterloo and Geneva, in New
York, and for several years was wont to journey there every
year, to sow fifty or sixty bushels of wheat. He finally sold
his Wesel farm (about 9·89x 60 chains in area, containing
53.90 acres, bounded south by John M. Vreeland and John
Hedden, west on the railroad, north on David Alyea, east
on Passaic river),(5) April 26, 1834, for $5,500, to Simeon
Pye, of New York, a locksmith or lock manufacturer, and

to escape the contagion his family carried him out on his
bed, placed him aboard a periagua, and sailed up the Pas-
saic river. At a point just below Passaic Bridge, a benevo-
lent female, seeing their pitiful plight, invited the fugitives
to come ashore and into her house, declaring that she feared
not the plague. She proved to be a distant relative, and in

ism); he came to this country in 1790 establishing himself
in New York as a merchant tailor. He subsequently re-
moved to Orange county, where he died. On his hundredth
birthday he received a large number of friends, and was
bright, cheerful and vivacious. He remarked to his son
that afternoon that during the sixty-eight years of his mar-
ried life death had never entered his door; neither child,
relative, servant or wayfarer had ever died under his roof!
His venerable wife survived him but four months. She
often told how her father and mother, after the Revolution,
journeyed through the wilderness and over the rugged
mountains, via Shamokin, to the Wyoming valley, to make
their home on the frontier, but were glad enough to get
back to the Wesel neighborhood with their scalps and little
possessions. As a girl she was remarkably lively and
attractive; in maturer years she was a good mother and
thorough helpmeet. Issue:

fequently;walked from Acquackanonk out to Waterloo, N.
Y, to visit his brothers and sisters, upon whom he would
drop in as unceremoniously as if he lived in the next village,
and after a social call of a dlay or two would bid them a
cheerful “Good morning,” and start back on his homeward
walk of two or three hundred miles. On one occasion he
extended his pedestrian journey as far as Cincinnati, in the
early days of that beautiful city. When he was past eighty-
five he thought nothing of walking from Passaic to Pater-
son, even in the bitterest winter weather. Capt. John Hed-

1787; 2d, Rachel Meedt, Nov. 10, 1799; d. of apoplexy,
—–, aged 54 years. He lived on the east bank of the
Passaic river, near the Wesel bridge, where his father had
lived before him. He was a blacksmith by trade. The
neighbors called him “Siemen’s Yerry”-Simon’s Uriah.
Jurie’s nephew, Simeon Van Houten (son of his sister
Lea), having become involved in one of his periodical en-
counters with the law, persuaded his uncle to go security
for his appearance when wanted. In order to indemnify
his uncle, Simeon and his wife Mary conveyed to Jerry Van
Riper, Feb. 13, 1809, two tracts of land in Paterson, one at
the southeast corner of Main street and Broadway, l00 feet
on Main street, and 50 feet deep, formerly owned by the cel-
ebrated Dr. Peter Wilson, of Columbia College ; the other
lot adjoining the same on the south, 55 feet front on Main
street, and 210 feet deep.(l) Simeon finding his situation se-
rious, “jumped his bail.” Word came to Jurrie one night
that Simeon was in hiding in Trenton. Early the next
morning he hitched up a great bald-faced horse, the fastest
and most enduring in his extensive stables, and with his
friend Henry I. Van Blarcom, also one of Van Houten’s
sureties, started for Trenton. It was a drive of sixty or
seventy miles, over rough country roads, but the big horse
got them there the same night. “Sim” was found en-
entrenched in an upper room, fully armed, and threatening to-
shoot the first man who entered. Jurrie called for an axe,
smashed in the door, and dashed in; Van Blarcom threw
his arms around Van Houten, and Jurrie secured him. The
horse was never of much use after this extraordinary drive.

Carl Van Riper (b. 1879)
| Carl Van Riper
CARL VAN RIPER has put himself in the front ranks of lawyers in Western Kansas and has developed a large and influential practice at Dodge City. His career has been identified with Western Kansas since early childhood, and he has the spirit of enterprise which is the characteristic of the people of this region. A native Kansan, Mr. Van Riper was born at Iola December 27, 1879. His father, Joseph Van Riper, now a farmer in Ford County, was born September 2, 1854, in Illinois. Joseph’s father, John, was left an orphan and was reared by a family in Massachusetts. In 1859 he brought his family to Fort Scott, Kansas, but on account of the border troubles in that region, as described on other pages of this history, he moved the following spring to Iola. There he enlisted in the Ninth Kansas Cavalry and was in active service three years in Arkansas, Texas and Mississippi. His record is largely the record of the regiment, which is given elsewhere in this work. He was mustered out without ever having been wounded or captured. Joseph Van Riper was about five years old when the family came to Kansas, and he grew up and married at Iola. In 1885, when his son Carl was six years of age, he moved to the vicinity of Yates Center in Woodson County, and in the spring of 1887 went to the extreme western portion of the state, to Hamilton County. There he took up a claim and managed to exist, though with extreme difficulty, until 1891. He finally gave up the attempt to prove up his homestead. He encountered the scarcity of water and he found the country poorly adapted to farming. All that region was open land and was chiefly used for grazing cattle. While there he acquired a little stock, and not being able to succeed in farming his only improvements were a sod house and dugout stables, such as the majority of homesteaders had. From Hamilton County he moved to Clark County for two years, and there his efforts as a farmer were more successful. He then bought a half section of land in the southwest corner of Ford County, and has since lived there, having made a well improved farm. Joseph Van Riper married Delila George, who was born in West Virginia, in 1857, a daughter of J. W. and Jane George. The George family lived for several generations in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and became extensive slave holders. All of J. W. George’s brothers were in the Confederate army, while he was a Union soldier, with a West Virginia regiment of infantry. He saw some strenuous service with the Army of the Potomac at Antietam, second Bull Run, Gettysburg, and was at Appomattox Court House when Lee surrendered and was one of the soldiers who secured a couple of small sections of the famous apple tree under which the terms of surrender were concluded between Grant and Lee. This apple tree has always been famous. It was a massive tree before the surrender, but in half an hour’s time not a particle of it was left, even the roots and ground surrounding them being torn up and carried away for relics. The children of Joseph and Delila Van Riper are: Carl; Frank, a farmer and stock buyer and shipper in Ford County, who is married and has four children; John, a lawyer practicing at Denver, Colorado, married and has one child; and Herbert, who is still single and living at home. In the several communities of Western Kansas above mentioned Carl Van Riper had his early experiences and acquired an education in the common schools. He graduated from the high school of Dodge City in the spring of 1900, following which he taught school a year at Minneola. In the fall and winter of 1901-2 he was in the business college at Salina, taking the shorthand and typewriting course. Returning to Dodge City, he entered the law office of Button & Scates, old practitioners of the county, and while doing their stenography applied himself diligently to the study of law. In 1905 he passed the successful bar examination and was admitted to practice, and then continued with the firm as an employe. In 1907 he entered upon his duties as county attorney, to which he had been elected in the preceding fall as the successor of Judge Finley. Mr. Van Riper proved a vigorous prosecutor and maintained to the full the record established by his predecessor against law violators, especially in the enforcement of the prohibitory law. Mr. Van Riper served two terms as attorney for Ford County. On retiring from office he formed a partnership with L. H. Madison, and the firm of Madison & Van Riper still exists and handles much of the legal business in the local courts, and Mr. Van Riper has also tried cases before the Supreme Court of Kansas and the Federal Court. While in the office of county attorney his first case was the prosecution of a party for stealing a white mule. After several continuances, and after the prosecuting witness and others had left the country, the case was finally dismissed. Mr. Van Riper has been a figure in local politics for a number of years, is a republican and cast his first presidential vote for Roosevelt. He is a member of the Masonic Lodge and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and was superintendent of the Methodist Sunday School at Dodge City for six years, until he resigned in 1917. He is now a member of the board of trustees of the church. While a great deal may be expected from Mr. Van Riper in the future, since he is still a young man, his success has already been such as to constitute him a prominent lawyer and man of affairs. He owns some wheat land in Morton County and at 801 Fourth Avenue in Dodge City he has a modern home. This home was first built by him in 1905, and in 1916 he remodeled it, making a two-story, eight-room home, with concrete terrace and surrounded by a fine lawn and trees. On June 21, 1905, Mr. Van Riper married Miss Stella Imel, who was born in Jefferson County, Indiana, July 25, 1877. Her father, P. M. Imel, who was born in the same Indiana County October 24, 1847, is a pioneer merchant at Dodge City but now retired. His father, Thomas Imel, was a Virginian, while the grandfather, Peter Imel, was born in Germany and at an early day came with a brother and settled in Virginia. P. M. Imel married Margerite Lyon, daughter of William and Margerite Lyon, who were early settlers in Indiana, P. M. Imel’s mother was Elizabeth Leatherberry, who died in Ford County, Kansas, in 1897, at the age of eighty-one. Her father, Thomas Leatherberry, came from England. Mrs. Van Riper was a teacher of the primary grade in the Second Ward School in Dodge City for eight years. Mr. and Mrs. Van Riper have one child, Ruth.

Rutgina. He came to America with his parents in 1846,
spent three years in Columbia grammar school, New York,
and three years more in the agricultural college at Gronin-
gen, Holland. In 1853 he returned to New York, and in
1854 took up his residence in Passaic county, where he has
been for 40 years an honored and useful citizen. In 1859 he
engaged in the manufacture of varnishes, and later was
connected with his brother, John Rulgert Planten (for many
years Consul of the New Netherlands, in New York), in the
manufacture of drugs. For some years past he has been
interested in Paterson industries. He lives on a handsome
place near Haledon, and owns considerable property in Pat-
erson. As a successful business man, of superior intelli-
gence, he has been frequently called upon by his fellow-cit-
izens of Manchester township to fill various offices—as as-
sessor and collector, school trustee, and Chosen Freehold-
er, 1871, 1882-87 ; he was Director (presiding officer) of the
Board of Chosen Freeholders of the county, 1884-87, per-

1886 he carried through the Board a project by which the
county acquired the greater part of Colt’s Hill (90 city lots,
and the extensive buildings) for court house purposes, for
$115,000 ; but he was in advance of the times ; the action
was criticised, and the bargain was relinquished. Five years
later the county paid $70,000 for 20 lots on the same site,
and the people who questioned Mr. Planten’s judgment in
1886, regretted that his plan had not then been fully consum-
mated. Issue: 1. Herman, b. June l, l858; m. Matilda,

Gerrebrant lived on a farm on the east side of the Passaic

Broad way bridge to Hackensack. This farm (113.02 acres)

grandfather, Gerrebrant Gerritse, he sold by deed May 2,
1833, to Brant Van Blarcom, for $8,200,(1) taking in exchange
a plot on the northwest corner of Broadway and Washington
(the deed erroneously says Fair) street, 45×120 feet. For
prudential reasons, the deed for the latter property was
given by Brant Van Blarcom to Cornelius Van Riper, in
trust for the maintenance of his son Gerrebrant, for
life, and then to be conveyed to Gerrebrant’s children. (2)

| EXCERPT FROM “HISTORY OF HUDSON COUNTY” By Charles H. Winfield THE VAN RIPEN FAMILY VAN RIPEN – V. REIPEN – V.REYPEN – V. REIPER – V. REYPER – V.RIPER- V. RYPER This name with its present multitudinous orthography, is derived from the Latin ripa, and was the name of a city on the North bank of the river Nibbs, sometimes called Nipsick, or Gram. North Jutland ( so called to distinguish it from South Jutland or Schleswig), in Denmark was divided into four dioceses, the most southwesterly part of Cimbri, who, at one time, invaded the Roman Empire. (1) Fenning’s Geography ii, 123. In Winfield’s Land Titles, the name is written Rypen. It is thus laid down on a map of Denmark in old geographical work, published in London during the reign of Queen Anne, the title page of which, of the copy I have ,is destroyed. I am now satisfied, from the origin of the word, that the name should be written Ripen, and it is thus written in the text and on a map in Fenning. Every other way of writing it is clearly wrong, though sanctioned by generations. Juriaen Tomassen had ch,: 2. I. Tomas (III), bap. June 10, 1668; m.
