His sons were called Rem's sons, hence the name.

GILBERT RIDER, son of John and Antye Van Nostrand, bp. in P. C., Ja .; m. Cornelia Creed.
"Flushing, L. I., October 8, 1901 .- Gilbert Rider died yester- day at the home of his granddaughter, Mrs. H. A. Hendrickson, IIO Madison Avenue, at the ripe old age of 97 years. Death was due to the infirmities incident to old age.
"Mr. Rider was Flushing's oldest resident. He was born in 1805, in Jamaica South. His ancestors were Holland Dutch. His father, who, in 1819, sold his farm on the Rockaway road, lived to be 80 years old, and at his death the farm fell into Mr. Rider's hands. The latter's wife, Miss Cornelia Creed, who died in 1869, came from an old Long Island family, her ancestors originally owning all that section which now embraces Queens, Hollis, and Creedmoor, and the latter place was named in honor of the Creed family.
"Mr. Rider's memory was good, his recollection extending over nearly the entire century. He remembered incidents of the War of 1812, recalled the Mexican War, the Civil War, and the Spanish-American War clearly. Mr. Rider was for many years a trustee of the public school at Queens, and was a member of the Presbyterian Church at Jamaica from boyhood, and was for many years a deacon there.
"Mrs. Hendrickson, at whose home Mr. Rider died, is the only surviving grandchild. Six great-grandchildren survive also."
