He was a man of more than ordinary ability for the times, and soon acquired great influence among his neighbors. When the country was recaptured by the Dutch, and the people expected a forfeitnre of their lands, he and John Berry, Samuel Edsall and William Sandford appeared at Fort Willem Hen- drick, Ang. 18, 1673, to request that " their plantations be eon- firmed in the privileges which they obtained from their previous Patroons."? When a contest arose between the town of Bergen and the inhabitants of Minkakwa and Pemrepogh concern- ing fences and the support of a schoolmaster, he again appeared before the Council to plead the cause of his neighbors.3 Under the act of Nov. 7, 1668, for the marking of horses and cattle, he was appointed " Recorder and Marker" for Minkakwa, April 6, 1670, and " Marker General" for the town of Bergen, Oct. S, 1676. On the last named day he was also appointed Ranger for Bergen, with power to name deputies " to Range the Woods and bring in all stray horses, mares and cattle." He was commis- sioned a member of the Bergen Court, Feb. 16, 1677, Feb. 18, 1680, and President of the same Aug. 31, 1681, and President of the County Court Ang. 31, 1682. He was a member of the Governor's Council for a number of years, appointed first, March 18, 1672. To him belongs the honor of holding the first com- mission to administer "Crowner's quest law " in the county, having been appointed Jan. 18, 1672, to hold an inquest on a child who had died under suspicious circumstances. Jointly with others he purchased, Jan. 6, 1676, a large tract of land, then known as " New Hackensack," upon which he resided as early as 1688. He m. Jannetje Jans, widow of Christian Barentsen,

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 dio- ceses, the most southwesterly of which, lying along the German Ocean, was called Ripen. This diocese was 142 miles in length and 57 miles in width, and was part of Cimbrica Chersonesus of the ancients, where dwelt the warlike Cimbri, who, at one time, invaded the Roman Empire.
The city of Ripen, in the diocese of Ripen, is situated in lat. 55° 36' north, and lon. 9º 10' east. Next to Wibourg it is the most ancient town in North Jutland.1 It once had a commo- dions harbor and profitable commerce: but the one long since filled up and the other sought different channels. Its cathedral was imposing, built of hewn stone, with a steeple of great height, which served as a landmark for mariners. In the Swedish war of 1645 the city was captured, but recovered by the Danes soon after. From this port, in April, 1663, a vessel named " T'Bonte Koe," the Spotted Cow, sailed for New Netherland, with eighty- nine passengers, consisting of men, women and children. Among the number was Juriden Tomassen, a young man of the city of Ripen. About four years after his arrival he m. Pryntje Her- mans, May 25, 1667 ; d. Sept. 12, 1695. Some of his descend- ants took the name Jurianse-now Yereance and Auryansen- while others, taking the name of the city from which their an- cestor sailed, became Von Ripen.
