$115,000 ; but he was in advance of the times ; the action
was criticised, and the bargain was relinquished. Five years

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,

street; 4. Cornelius, b. Aug. 22, 1819; m. Mary Ann Ryder,
of New York; he was a clerk in New York; afterwards went

Gerrebrant lived on a farm on the east side of the Passaic
river, and on the north side of the road leading from the
Broad way bridge to Hackensack. This farm (113.02 acres)
and one adjoining (53 acres), formerly the property of his
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)
This transaction turned out better for the Van Ripers than
for Brant Van Blarcom.

| 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.
