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 an old geographi. cal 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.

He was a blacksmith by trade, of little education, but of good sterling sense. During the Revolutionary War he was an unyield- ing patriot. For a short time he was lieutenant in the militia. He was taken prisoner by a tory named Van Wart, and locked up in the old sugar house. When brought before the British officer for examination, his captor and William Bayard, of Hoboken, were present. Van Wart asked him where his rebel coat was. Van Ripen replied. " The coat does not make the man." The officer asked, " What then does ?" Putting his hand over his heart, the old patriot replied, "This, SIR!" Colonel Bayard desired to have him held a prisoner, but the officer was so pleased with him that he dis- charged him with the assurance that he would do the same as often as he was arrested. He was

VAN HOOREN-VAN HOORN-VAN HORN.
This name is derived from Hoorn, a large, pleasant and rich city, with a convenient port, on the Zuyder Zee, about twenty miles north of Amsterdam. It was surrounded with broad dykes for its security, large pasture grounds for its profit, and fine gar-

dens and walks for its pleasure. Its traffic consisted mostly in butter and cheese, of which large quantities were taken into Spain. The name was written Hoorn or Hooren. From this place Jan Cornelissen (or John, the son of Cornelins) came to this country. The time of his arrival is not known, but he was in New Amsterdam as early as June, 1645.1 From a power of attorney, which he executed Oct. 4, 1647,2 for the purpose of col- lecting money from his guardian in Holland, it would seem that he came to this country before he arrived at his majority. He was one of the remonstrants against defending the city when at- tacked by the English in 1664.3 In October of that year he took the oath of allegiance to the King. Among his children was a son named Joris, who m. Maria Rutgers, of Amersfoort, March 11, 1666. At an early period the name was quite common at Hackensack, and I have no doubt that is the place where the family first settled in New Jersey. Joris had eight ch., one of whom, a son, bap. Jan. 5, 1667, received the name of Rutgers, in honor of his mother's family.4 He m. Neeltje, dan. of Die- driek Teunissen Van Vechten, and wid. of Jan Van Derlinden. April 25, 1697. The marriage record speaks of him as a "young man from Hackensack." Van Derlinden resided and owned land in the present city of Bayonne, which was afterward pur- chased by Van Horn.5 Her mother was Jannetje, dau. of Michiel Jansen (Vreeland) (7). After his marriage he con- tinued to reside at "Pemmarepocq" until 1711. On the 7th of May in that year he purchased of his wife's unele, Enoch Vreeland, land at Communipaw, for which he agreed to give one pepper corn, if demanded ! He then settled there, and the name has become so inseparably linked with the place that the one would seem incomplete without the other. He accumulated a large amount of landed property, including tracts on the Rari- tan and at Plainfield. He was known as Rutt, though he gene- rally wrote his name Rutgert Van Hooren.6 as this fac-simile will show: he d. May 15, 1741.
