XIII .- CORNELIUS LUBBERS.
The notices of this Patentee are extremely scanty. There is no record of his origin, and the pages of history are equally blank as to his fate, or his descendants. The name
Lubber, Lubbert, Lubbers, Lubberse, Lubbertse or Lub- bertszen, was not as rare as might be expected, considering its signification, for there were many families thus called in New Netherland in the seventeenth century.1 Cornelius

The same day a patent was granted to Lubbert Gysbertsen (probably the son of Gysbert Lubbertsen) for fifty morgens of land on the North River, north of Jan Cornelissen Buys, 90x33373 rods in area .- N. Y. Col. Docs., XIII., 37, 38.

THE WESTERVELTS.
Lubbers simply means "Cornelius, son of Lubber;" in this case the name affords a very slight clue to the ancestry of Cornelius. It is not unlikely that he was a son of Lubbert Lubbertsen, a farmer, who came from Meppel (the chief city of the Province of Drenthe, in Holland), with his wife and four children, in the ship Hope, which arrived at New Amsterdam, May 24, 1662, bearing also Willem Lubbertsen and his family, from the same place. The authorities of Flatbush, L. I., granted to Lubbert Lubberse, Dec. 15, 1662, an application for a building plot in that village; on Aug. 20, 1670, he bought a house in the southerly part of the village. In 1676 he was located in the Hackensack val- ley.1 Although he came from Meppel, his children took the name Westervelt-"west field," possibly because they set- tled west of the Hackensack river. He and his wife, Geesie Roelofse, were members of the Hackensack church in I686. Lubbert Lubbertse and Geesie Roelofse had issue as fol- lows:

III. (prob.) Cornelis, afterwards one of the Acquacka- nonk patentees; he was probably born in Holland. Cor- nelis Lubbertsen was one of the nine men (seven from Ber- gen and two from Gemoenepaen) who volunteered, July 4, 1663, in response to the call of the Director-General of New Netherland, to march against the Indians.2 The next men- tion of him is in the Acquackanonk patent of March 16, I684-5. It is doubtful if he ever settled in Acquackanonk. By a deed dated April 26, 1698 (in which he is described as of Bergen), he conveys to Franss Post of "ye town of Ach- quickanuncque," for £30, "a certain lott or parcel of Land Containing one hundred acres lying wthin ye pattent of aqueckononque abovesaid being ye whole breadth of ye lott No. 10 & half ye breadth of ye No. 9 together with ye eight & twentieth part of ye rights of commons of ye sd town of Aquechkonunque according to agreement made by ye patentees or parties to said patent."3 These lots lay about half a mile below the draw-bridge at the foot of Gregory avenue, Passaic, and fronted on the river. It was doubtless

Sept. 3, 1656 (witnesses-Jan Lubbertszen and Beletje Cornelis) ; 2. Pieter, bap. Dec. 26, 1657 ; 3. Annetje, bap. (at Bergen), Oct. 4, 1668.

Willem Lub- bertszen and his wife, Dirckje Roelofs, joined the N. Y. church, Jan. 3, 1667. He had two children baptized in that church : I. Hendrick, bap. March 15, 1665 ; 2. Sara, bap.

HISTORY OF PATERSON.
by virtue of this deed that Frans Post was allotted Lot No. I, East, in the Bogt subdivision, as shown by the Map on page 71. In an ancient copy of a map of the Goutum sub- division, in the possession of Henry P. Simmons, of Pas- saic, Lot No. 13 bears the names "vrans poest Cornelis lubbersen," signifying that Frans Post and Cornelis Lub- bersen owned this Lot in common. This lot is supposed to have been on Lexington avenue and Monroe street, or in that vicinity; perhaps nearer the present northerly line of Passaic. On the same map, Lot No. 7 is ascribed to "tomes yurreyanse" (Thomas Juriaense Van Riper) and "cornelis lubbersen." This is supposed to have been at or near Clif- ton, fronting on the Passaic river. No record has been found of any other conveyances by Cornelis Lubbers of any part of his interest in Acquackanonk. He joined in the several deeds of release of March 12, 1712-13, by which the five patentees then surviving confirmed the title of their re- spective associates to the lands in their possession.1 He is mentioned in the receipts given by Peter Sonmans for quit- rents, in 1707, 1709, 17II, 1712 and April 17, 1713,2 but not thereafter; from this we may infer that he either died about this time, or disposed of his remaining interest in Acquack- anonk. In the deeds of 1712-13, just mentioned, he is described as "Cornelius Lubbers, of Communapong, yeo- man." This is one of the latest instances of the survival of the name Lubbers. No record has been found of his marriage or of his descendants, if he had any.

Roelof had issue (all by his first wife):
