I’m trying to research an aunt of mine named Wilhelmina (Minnie ) Begelspacker ( or Begelspiker ), born in 1858. She married @1882 Cornelius Van Riper, born @ 1853 in New York. In 1900, they lived at 41 Harrison Avenue Richmond County ( Staten Island ), New York. They evidently had a daughter named Vance born in New Jersey @1886.
I would be interested in finding out more information about this |

My name is Von Worthington. My mother was Isabel Van Riper. She was born in Staten Island 1/2/1907 to James Stout Van Riper and his wife Edith (nee Scharnagel). They moved to Freehold, NJ around 1910 where James lived until his death around 1958. James had a brother, William, and at least one sister, Ella?. He may also have had a sister called Bell after whom my mother was named, but it isn’t clear to me if she was my mother’s aunt or great aunt. I have some family pictures, but the Van Riper side of the family was old when I was young. My mother’s mother was 40 when Mom was born, and my mother was 40 when I was born. Also, Mom was an only child. I don’t recall ever meeting a relative named Van Riper; although, I presumably met Uncle Will when I was an infant.
I would be interested in contacting anyone who may be a long lost Thanks, Von |

Page 177
SIMMONS
(3) Peter Simmons was b. May 29, 1728, and is understood to have been
a native of England. About the middle of the last century he settled at
Flushing Long Island, opposite to Kip’s Bay, and there he married
Rachel Kip (b. Jan. 12, 1737-8), July 30, 1756; she died Sept. 17, 1804,
aged 67 years, 3 months and five days; one of her sisters. Sally, married
Abraham Cadmus, and lived at Belleville; another, Leah, mar-
ried Richard Leaycraft. Peter Simmons was a seafaring man, captain
of the food ship Henri IV. Being away most of the time he established
his wife with her uncle, Stephen Bassett, who had a tannery on a small
run of spring water flowing into the Passaic river, a short distance
above the site of the present Dundee dam, Bassett was of French Hu-
guenot descent: he formerly had a tannery and a tap room in New
York. On his farm at Wesel were born the sixteen children of Peter
Simmons. In a storm in the English channel, Peter was washed over-
board and drowned, July 5, 1787.
Second Generation
Peter Simmons and Rachel Kip had children:
I. Leah, b. Jan. 2, 1757; m. Gerrit Van Riper. Sept. 25, 1777.(1) Her
children are mentioned above.(177b e-mailed 10-14-2001 part 29)
II. Peter, b. April 23, 1758; m. Margaret Westervelt, Sept. 20, 1797;
d. May 25, 1836. She was b. July 22, 1774, dau. of John Westervelt, of
Wagaraw, who lived near the Bergen county end of the Wagaraw
bridge; he was a soldier in the Revolution; she died March 21,1832,
aged 57 years, 7 months, 30 days. Peter bought from the Vreelands a
farm of fifty acres on the west side of the Wesel road, next to the pres-
ent Alyea farm; the farm originally occupied by Hendrick Jansen
Spier was next south of Crooks avenue; the Simmons farm came next.
On this farm all his children were born and brought up. He also owned
a large tract of land on the east side of Peckamin river, which he sold
in 1798 or earlier.(2) Peter had a shop in a small red frame building,
about 14×18 feet. one story high, with attic, which stood with its gable
end toward the Wesel road, near his house. In this modest edifice he
carried on harness-making and shoe-making. Back of the shop, near a
spring, was his tan-vat, where he tanned his own leather. His neigh-
bors were welcome to its privileges, also, and were wont to throw in
their hides for tanning once a year, at which time only the vat was
cleaned out, the hides being always allowed to remain for a twelve-
month. Among the many young men brought up to the leather busi-
ness by Peter Simmons may be mentioned Garret Cadmus, David
Alyea, Richard Bush, Richard Stagg, John Post (part of the time: he
was a son of John H. Post, of Revolutionary note), and Philip Van
Bussum, who afterwards kept tavern (the Franklin House) on Main
street, Paterson. In the summer Peter would devote as much time as
possible to his farm and garden. The care of his younger brothers and
sisters fell upon him, so that his life was spent in arduous toil, and at
its close he had little to leave to his children save the reputation of an
honest, intelligent, well-meaning man, a devoted father, and a good
neighbor. Daring the Revolution he was once taken prisoner by
the British, but owing to his perfect familiarity with the country soon
made his escape. For half a century after the war it was his custom to
have his friends and neighbors assemble at his house in the Fall, about
“killing time,” when “the times that tried men’s souls” would be re-
called, with many a personal reminiscence of perilous adventure by field
or Hood in the heroic endeavor to secure a country’s liberty. John
Paulding, of English Neighborhood, whose uncle, of the same name,
was one of Andre’s captors, was a regular attendant at these gatherings,
trudging to and fro the whole distance on foot. The party invariably
broke up with the chorus:
“Here’s a health to John Paulding,
And let the health go ‘round!”
A bill of Peter Simmons, for making and repairing shoes and harness,
1793-96, is given in the Van Houten Manuscripts, p. 89.

was adopted by Mrs. Sarah Van Wagoner (Saertje Jurians), wid. of
Roelof and mother of Hermanus Van Wagoner (see p. 88), and who
lived in the old Van Wagoner house, still standing on the River road, at
the corner of Gregory avenue, opposite the draw-bridge at Passaic;
Sarah Shelp Van Wagoner, the wife of Henry P. Simmons, d. Aug. 5,
1887. Henry Peter Simmons is one of the best-known men in this part
of New Jersey, and no man in this region has preserved such a store of
reminiscence and anecdote of men and events in by-gone days in Old
Acquackanonk, particularly of all that relates to the old Dutch families.
For half a century or more he has been looked up to as an authority on
Page 178b
all questions of family and local history. Born and brought up on the
Wesel road, in a neighborhood where the Dutch was the language of
the home, he is himself one of the most characteristic specimens of the
sturdy old Dutch stock that in former days possessed the land hereabout.
At the age of thirteean years he left his father’s humble home to make
his own way in the world, and thereafter never returned to that home
save as a visitor, nor did he ever cost his falher a penny for his support.
For four years he served as a, clerk in Peter Jackson’s country store—
“where you might buy anything, from a needle to a haystack,” was its
owner’s boast”-at Acquackanonk, or Paterson Landing about where
the Mansion House hotel now stands in Passaic. In winter, when the
river was frozen up and navigation suspended, he spent the time in
Jackson’s store at Pompton. In 1832, with his entire fortune of ten
shillings in his pocket, he went to New York, entering the service of
Jeremiah Meserole, who died thirty days later; then of John, and then
of Abraham—three brothers who dealt in ship-stores at 191-2-3 South
street, and who were largely interested in charcoal vessels and coasters.
Through the excellence of his book-keeping, and his unremitting devo-
tion to the interests of his employers, he was gradually so favored by
them that before he was twenty-one he was part-owner in one or more
of their vessels, and in the course of time was given one-sixth of the
profits of the entire business. In 1846, he bought from John Speer, a
shoemaker, son of Hans Speer, on Crooks avenue near the Wesel road,
a house and fourteen acres of land on Main avenue, opporite the present
main Erie station at Passaic.for $2,600, borrowing the last $5 to make
up the purchase price. In 1848, on the death of the Meseroles, with
whom he had been associated, he withdrew from the concern, drawing
out $10,000 as his share of the profits, and took up his residence on the
property just mentioned, where he has lived ever since, enlarging the
house from lime to time. He subsequently added to his possessions,
and although he has sold a greal deal of his land he still owns fifty acres
in the very heart of Passaic, which he has been improving and develop-
ing for nearly half a century—his chief pleasure in life. In this
agreeable occupation he has set out nearly 2,000 shade trees. He
was called to fill various offices in Acquackanonk before Passaic was
set off from the old township, and for ten years–1852-57, 1878-83,
sat in the county courts as one of the lay Judges. He now enjoys a re-
markably vigorous old age, and is as strong a friend and as sturdy a
combatant as be was half a century ago. Issue:

The story of Jane Tuers, a patriot during the Revolutionary War, is that she assisted with the derailing of a plan by the British to takeover West Point. Jane’s home – southeast corner of present Bergen Avenue and Mercer Street Jane Tuers lived with her husband Nicholas in a farm house located on the site of the present Hudson Catholic High School back to present Tuers Avenue. At the time of the Revolutionary War it was said to be her practice to cross the Hudson River on the Paulus Hook ferry to Manhattan to sell her farm goods, as well as to bring food to the Sugar House prison, where they British detained American soldiers. She also visited the popular Fraunces Tavern, at Broad and Pearl Streets, which was run by “Black Sam” Fraunces from the West Indies. Here British soldiers spent some leisure time and shared the latest military strategy along with their refreshments. Fraunces, a patriot, overhead the soldiers toast some by the name of (General Benedict) Arnold who was to deliver West Point to the British. “Black Sam,” in turn, informed Tuers of what he overheard. When she returned home, Tuers informed her brother Daniel Van Reypen, a blacksmith, who traveled by horse to Hackensack, where he advised General “Mad” Anthony Wayne of the British scheme. Wayne brought Van Reypen to see General George Washington, who offered Van Reypen a reward. However, Van Reypen declined the money award and requested only that Washington intercede in the event of his capture. The information provided by Tuers confirmed what Washington had heard rumored about Arnold and was received in advance to the arrest of Major John Andre, the British agent working with Arnold. Arnold had been assigned the stationary command at West Point after an injury, but was dissatisfied with the post, wishing to return to military combat. He escaped capture by taking a British ship over to Manhattan. Andre was taken at Tarrytown and tried, convicted and hung at Tappan on October 1, 1780. The intervention by Jane Tuers and her brother secured West Point for the patriots. Its strategic location on the Hudson River made possible the receipt of supplies from New England and upper New York without venturing into nearby British controlled territory. Years later Daniel Van Reypen built a home at 320 Fairmount Avenue. Jane Tuers died in 1834. She is buried in an unmarked grave (Lot 136) in the Old Bergen Church burial ground on Bergen Avenue. Her home was demolished in 1894 for construction of the old Fourth Regiment Armory. Local historian Owen Grundy reports that in 1925 a bronze tablet in memory of Jane Tuers was placed at the old Armory, at the southeast corner of Bergen Avenue and Mercer Street, by the Jane Tuers Society, Children of the American Revolution. This society was sponsored by the Bergen Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and organized in 1917. When the old Armory was razed, the marker for Jane Tuers was lost. By C.A.
