From their earliest settlement at Acquackanonk the Posts appear to have been a family of millers, in every generation. Wherever there was a stream capable of affording a water- power, there was a Post with a grist-mill or a saw-mill, or both. Their mills were on the Passaic river, from Third river to Singack; on every considerable stream flowing into the Passaic-the Wesel or Vreeland brook, from the Notch to the river ; the Peckamin river, the Pequannock, the Wanaque, the Ramapo. When these streams were oc- cupied the family spread farther afield, founding Postville 1

in Orange county ; setting up mills in Sussex and Warren counties, and eventually in Central New York, Pennsylvania, and even farther West.

IX. URIAN TOMASON (VAN RIPER).

In April, 1663, Juriaen1 Thomasse (Uriah, son of Thomas) from Rypen,2 in North Jutland, sailed from Holland in T' Bonte Koe, "the Spotted Cow," in company with eighty- seven other passengers-men, women and children-in quest of fortune in the New Netherlands.3 The notices of the young immigrant are extremely scanty in the early records. He does not seem to have owned any lands at Bergen, although he evidently settled there soon after his arrival. 4 He m. Reyke Harmsse, May 25, 1667. He and his wife were witnesses at the baptism of their grandson, Jurjaen, son of Thomas Jurjaense and Jannetje Straet, Sept. I, 1693, as set forth in the Acquackanonk church records, which contain no other mention of him, a fact which makes it seem unlikely that he settled at Acquackanonk at all. His death is recorded at Bergen, as having occurred Sept. 12, 1695. He probably died there. Ryke Harmsse (doubt- less his widow) was a witness at the baptism of another grandson, Jurie, son of Jan Juriance and Neeltje Gerre- brantze, in the Acquackanonk church, Feb. 10, 1703. She owned Lot No. 2, in the Goutum subdivision. The date of her death is unknown.

Second Generation.

Juriaen Thomasse and Reyke Harmsse had children :

I. Thomas, bap. June 10, 1668; m. Jannetje (bap. Dec. 26, 1666), dau. of Jan Straet or Straatmaker and Geesje Gerrits, June 2, 1691. He seems to have been a superior sort of man, active and go-ahead, a leader among his fellows. Geurt Corten, of Bergen, who died between Feb. 5 and June I, 1671, devised several acres of land at Bergen to Thomas Juriansen, then but three years old.5 In 1694 the Legislature appointed him one of the two col-

1 This name-sometimes written Jeuriaen, Jurjaen, etc .- is pro- nounced Yoo-re-awn.

2 Ripen is a city in the diocese of the same name ; it has a venerable antiquity, and once was a considerable seaport, until the harbor became filled up. The Dutch wrote the name Rypen ; in modern Dutch, Rijpen, indicating the sound of the long i. It may be noted here that some early members of the family called themselves indifferently Van Ripen, and Van de Ripe. The latter name would indicate an original emigration from a small town in North Holland, called de Rijp, dating from the year 1400, and now having 2,000 inhabitants, with four churches, two harbors and a fine canal .- Terwen, 85. In Passaic and Bergen counties the name is almost universally written Van Riper ; in Hudson county some families write it Van Rypen. The descendants of Juriaen Thomasse were among the last of the Acquackanonk settlers to adopt a family sur- name, but for a century or more rang the changes on Juriaense, Tho- masse, Aeltse, Gerritse, Jansse, Harmsse, etc., etc.

4 There is a reference in Winfield's Hudson County Land Titles (313, 321) to lands allotted to Jurian Tomason for " the full Proportion and Dividend for the Purchase Money " paid by him, the tract being about three acres, now intersected by Newark avenue, near Palisade avenue, Jersey City ; but this was probably the grandson of the first Jurian Tomason.

Jacobus Post, whose father first settled the location and owned the lands upon which the village stands."-Hist. of Orange County, by Samuel W. Eager, Newburgh, 1846-7, p. 430. The founder of Postville was probably the Jacobus Post, bap. Dec. 8, 1754, mentioned on p. 146, ante.

HISTORY OF PATERSON.

lectors to raise £6, 15s. from Acquackanonk and New Bar- badoes,1 and in 1698 he was appointed alone to assess the Provincial tax on those two precincts. 2 He was prominent in the Acquackanonk church, being chosen deacon in 1700 and 1705 ; elder in 1710 and in 1724. He was one of the committee of five chosen in 1714 to apportion the undivided lands of the Acquackanonk patent. By deed dated Oct. 30, 1695, for £100 New York money, Cornelis Michielse, of the town of Bergen, conveyed to Thomas Yowrians of Ackqueckanunk, a tract of land in Acquackanouk, “frunt- ing to Passaick river bounded on the northeast or therea- bout by a driftway which parts him and a lot of land belonging to Hans Diedricks and on the southwest by another driftway that parts him and a lot of land be- longing to Johanues Michielse and northwest by' the com- mou woodland where he is to stop when he hath taken up the quantity of one hundred acres English measure or fifty morgan of Dutch measure according to the allotment of Acquackanonk together with the eight and twentieth part of the common woodland being part of the tract of land mentioned in the patent granted to Cornelis Michielse in partnership with thirteen more bearing date" March 16, 1684 (the Acquackanonk patent). This interesting instru- ment was not recorded until March 17, 1802, when it was dimmed and stained by nearly one hundred and seven years.3 It was witnessed by Hans Ditrich (so he wrote his name, in a handsome German script) and John Thomas. In 1728 this tract was referred to as Lot No. I, in Acquack- anonk. In IZII he and seven others bought the Stony Road patent of 2, 800 acres, embracing the top and south- western slope of Garret Mountain, from the steep rocks at Paterson to the headwaters of the Peckamin river. 4 Elias Smith, of Horseneck, yeoman, and Cornelia his wife, and Mickell Vandercoock, of the same place, yeomau, and Sa- rah his wife, conveyed to Thomas Jurianson, of Acquack- anonk, yeoman, by deed dated May 5, 1713, for £200 New Jersey money, Lots 4 and 18, in the subdivision of the Pe- quannock patent, on the east side of the Passaic river, in the western part of Wayne township.5 When the disputed boundary line between Acquackanonk and Newark was adjusted, April 6, 1719, Thomas Uriansen was one of Acquackanonk's three representatives present.6 By deed dated June I, 1720, for £84 New York money, he bought from Joshua Bush, of Saddle River, blacksmith, the grantee being then a farmer, of Acquackanonk, three tracts of land on the east side of the Passaic river, the first being 80 acres, south of Johannes Post; the second, 84 acres, bounded north by Halmagh Van Houten, east by Gerrit Juriaensen, south by Rutt Joost, and west by Passaic river ; the third, about four acres. These premises came from John Corteen, late of Acquackanonk, in. 1716.7 They

were northwest of Little Falls, in the western part of Wayne township. In 1728 Thomas bought of Claas Vreeland Lot No. 13 in the Eight Hundred Acre Tract.1 According to an ancient map of Goutum, 2 "tomes yurreyanse " owned Lot No. 7 in that subdivision-a tract somewhat triangular in shape, on the Passaic river, in the northern part of Passaic, or a little further up the river. In the receipt for quit-rents, dated Sept. 7, 1726, he is mentioned as having paid; but in the receipt of May 17, 1727, his name is omitted. He prob- ably died between those two dates. He was called Thomas Juriaensen-Thomas son of Juriaen.

II. Gerrit, bap. Sept. 27, 1670; m. Beelitje, dau. of Dirck Janse Oosten and Elizabeth Cornelis, of Hoboken, June 6, 1693 ; d. Sept. 4, 1748; she d. May 20, 1745. In 1718 he owned a tract of land on the Passaic river, north of John Corta, probably south of Third river.3 In his will, dated March 14, 1744-5, proved April 8, 1749, he describes himself as of the town of Bergen. By this instrument he gives to "the three children of my eldest son Jurejan · Gerretse deceased named Gerret, Altje and Belitje in token of their father's birthright my negro boy called Frank;" also considerable land at Bergen ; "also one third part or share of my Lands lying at a Place called Aghquaquenoch on the south side of a Lot I bought of Jurian Pieterse ;" to son Dirck Gerretse "Two third parts of my Lands lying at a place [called] Agquakannuck, adjoining to the south side of my Lands hereby Devised unto the Heirs of my son Jurejan Containing in breadth ninety Rodd Dutch measure ;" also to Dirck "all my Tools belonging to the Trade of the Wheelwright; also my negro slave called Maremutts;" to his three sons, Dirck, Cornelis and Johannes, all his right to any undivided lands in Bergen or any other lands ; "and in case my son Dirck should Depart and remove from the Town of Bergen then and in such case I Give Devise and bequeath my Estate Right and Title to the Commons and undivided Lands last mentioned to my said sons Cornelis and Johanuis and to the heirs of my son Jurejan deceased ;" to his two daughters, Elizabeth, wife of Maghiel Vreeland, and Leah, wife of Jacob Van Wagenen, £140 New York money, to be divided between them ; also "all my certain Lot or Parcel of Land lying at a Place called Acquackanuck on the northwest side of the Land of Thomas Fredrickse and also my other Lot or Parcel of Land lying on the south side of the Land of the said Thomas Fredrickse," to be equally divided betweeu said two daughters. His wife Belitje, and his sons Cornelis and Johannis, were appointed executors. The testator signed his name Gar: Jurcansen. 4

He was named as one of the executors of the will of Christo- pher Steenmets, his father-in-law, in 1732. He appears to have bought Lot No. 4, in the first tier of lots, on Pas - saic river, by deed dated May 15, 1722, with the Lot im- mediately in the rear of it, in the second tier of Hundred Acre Lots. His will, dated Junc 17, 1754, proved May 14, 1756, is given herewith :
