I. GOVERT LOOCKERMANS,1 the most noted of his family, was born at Turnhout, a town in the Netherlands, and came to New Amsterdam in April, 1633. It appears he left Holland with Director General Wouter

Van Twiller in the ship Soutberg, which captured on her voyage a Spanish caravel, the St. Martin, to which vessel he was transferred, and which was brought safely into port. With him came Jacob Wolfertsen (Van Cou- wenhoven), whose first wife, Hester Jans, was a sister of Loockerman's first wife. Upon his arrival he was taken into the service of the West India Company, as clerk, but he soon left this employment and engaged in business on his own account.
In 1640 he went back to Holland, where he married Ist, in Amsterdam, Feb. 26, 1641, Ariaentje Jans, with whom he returned to New Amsterdam in the ship King David, Job Arentsen, Master, arriving here Nov. 29, 1641.
On the 20th Jan., 1642, he purchased of Isaac Allerton the yacht Hope, in which he was engaged in trade between New Amsterdam and Fort Orange (Albany), and intervening points along the river, also to the South or Delaware River, and up the Sound to the mouth of the Connecticut. In July, 1644, while his vessel was passing Beeren Island, on the Upper Hud- son, he was hailed by Nicholas Coorn, Commander at Rensselaer's Stein, and ordered to lower his colors. On being asked for whom, Coorn re- plied, "for the Staple right of Rensselaerswyck." But Loockermans re- fused with an oath to strike his flag " for any individual save the Prince of Orange and the Lords, his masters," whereupon Coorn fired several shots at his vessel, one of which "went through the sail, and broke the ropes and the ladder," and another " perforated the princely colors, about a foot above the head of Loockermans, who kept the colors constantly in his hands."
On the night of the 27th of Feb., 1643, Maryn Adriaensen and Govert Loockermans, by order of Gov. Kieft, led the attack of a company of citi- zens upon a party of Indians who had encamped with their women and children, at Corlears Hook. Thirty of the savages were killed while asleep and unsuspicious of danger from those they had deemed their friends. It is said that the recollection of this terrible and needless massacre, though approved by the general sentiment of that time, gave him much disquietude during the later years of his life.
His trading and shipping operations kept pace with the growth of New Amsterdam and the river towns, and before 1649 he had two or three times visited Holland, and established an extensive commercial corre- spondence with that country. He also carried on a large brewing busi- ness in Pearl Street, near the present Hanover Square, where he resided. In Sept., 1651, he was sentenced to be banished for three years on a charge of violating the revenue laws, but this sentence was not enforced, and he afterwards held some of the highest positions of honor in the Colony. He was one of the Board of Nine Men in 1647-9 and 1650, Schepen in 1657 and 1660, appointed one of the Orphan Masters Sept. 10, 1663, in place of Johannes Van Brugh, Indian Interpeter in 1658, and Commissioner in 1663, with Martin Cregier, to extinguish the Indian title to the lands from Barnegat to the Raritan. To the honor of the Dutch Settlers, be it said that they always pursued an honest course with the Indians in obtain- ing their lands by fair purchase. He was also a Commissioner, in May, 1653, with Johannes De La Montagne and David Provoost, ap- pointed to attend the investigation of an alleged conspiracy of the Dutch and Indians against the English.
In 1666 he became a resident of Long Island in the vicinity of New Utrecht, his wife (by his second marriage) remaining in New York, where it appears she was engaged in shop-keeping, an occupation not uncommon

for the thrifty Dutch women of that period. There is no doubt that he married his 2d wife Marritje Jans in the Dutch Church at New Amsterdam, July 11, 1649.
On the 13th of July, 1670, he was commissioned Lieutenant of a company of foot in New York, and probably died late in the autumn of that year .*
He possessed a superior education, for the times in which he lived. Bold, adventurous, enterprising, not much troubled with scruples, either in his trading intercourse with the Indians, or the more extensive traffic in which he afterwards engaged to the Netherlands, he amassed a large fortune, and was at his death probably the wealthiest citizen in New York. Dying intestate, it became a fruitful source of contention between his heirs for many years after. Like his friend, David Provoost, he was a thorn to the Eng- lish, who hated him for the influence he wielded over the Indians, and his success among them as a trader, by what they termed a " crooked & pverse waye." It is recorded that Govert Aertsen, a small trader, was obliged to carry, in 1648, for his better protection when visiting the Connec- ticut Settlements, a certificate from the Magistrates of New Amsterdam that he was not Govert Loockermans. Our New England friends have since learned to discriminate better.

VARICK.
THIS name appears indifferently in the Dutch Church Records as Varick and Van Varick, from 1687 down to about the beginning of the present century .* Mr. Valentine has asserted that the Rev. Rudolphus Van Varick, of Long Island, was the common ancestor of the Varick family in this State t-an obvious error. Jan Varick, of New York, 1687-1702-3, and Hackensack, N. J., 1720, probably his brother (if not the common ?), was the ancestor of the largest branch of the family bearing this name, both in New York and New Jersey.
REV. RUDOLPHUS VARICK came from Holland about 1685, in which year he succeeded the Rev. Casparus Van Zuren as minister of the Long Island churches, his residence being at Flatbush; he also occasionally ministered on Sunday in the Churches at Bergen and Hackensack, N. J. " During the Leislerian troubles, in 1689, Mr. Varick, as well as the other Dutch ministers, stood out against the authority of Leisler, and was treated with much harshness, being dragged from his home, cast into the jail, de- posed from his ministerial functions, and fined heavily. These severities, which were heaped upon him for alleged treasonable utterances against Leisler, undoubtedly hastened his death.į His congregation also were divided, and many of them refused to pay his salary according to the terms upon which they called him from Holland-especially, as he says in a petition to the Governor, Sept. 11, 1691, for the six months of his imprison- ment. The Court ordered the arrears of salary due him by his congregation to be collected, by distress, if necessary." §
His will is dated October 20, 1686 ; proven November 9, 1694. In it he styles himself Rev. Domine Rudolphus Van Varick, "Minister of the Reformed Dutch Congregacion on Long Island ; " alludes to his children, but names only his wife, Margarita Visboom.
His widow's will is dated October 29, 1695, with codicil, Nov. 15, 1695 ; proven January 2, 1695-6. She directs that her body be buried by the side of her husband, " if possible, in the Church of Midwout alias
* In the New York Marriage Licenses, Albany, 1860, it frequently appears as Varck and Van Varck.

# "This is Secretary Clarkson's statement (Doc. Hist. N. Y., 8vo., ii. 431, 432) ; but another party, not so favorably inclined, says that Varick was at first in favor of the revolution of Leisler, and influenced Kings County to act unanimously in its favor ; but that, afterwards, he was won over to a contrary opinion, and created a diversion in the popular mind. The same authority says that he was suspected by the people of conspiring to seize the fort in New York, was arrested, and released, after a time, upon his submission to Leisler ; that he favored the execution of the latter, ' made intolerable sermons' against him, and cherished animosity even to his dying day."-Stiles' Hist. Brooklyn, vol. i., foot-note, p. 169.

Cornelia Hesther (?) ; sons Marinus and Rudolphus ; her sister Engeltje ; her niece Maritie (Maria), wife of Nicholas Tienhoven .* In the event of the death of all her children, she bequeaths to her sister Sarah, the wife of John Varick, and her niece Maritie, all her property equally. In the codicil she adds the name of her eldest sister Engeltje Visboom, to whom with her sister Sarah and cousin Maria, she gives, in case of the death of her children, to each one-third of her estate. Appoints Col. Nicholas Bayard, Lieut .- Col. Charles Lodwyck, and Mr. Jan Harbendinck, execu- tors.
Of the children of Rev. Rudolphus Varick and his wife Margarita Vis- boom, we are unable to give any other account except of their daughters. Joanna married Albert Willet ; m. 1. dated May 10, 1701. (RECORD, vol. iii., page 194.) Cornelia was twice married ; first to Barent De Kleyn (see RECORD, vol. vii., page 148, foot-note), and second, July 22, 1715, to Pieter Van Dyck, Silver Smith in New York, the widower of Rachel Le Roux, and son of Dirck Franszen Van Dyck and Urseltie Jans Schepmoes. He was bap. Aug. 17, 1684.

I. JAN VARICK and his wife Sarah Visboom, joined the Dutch Church in New York, June 1, 1687, with certificate from Rhenen-probably the small town of that name on the middle branch of the Rhine, in Holland. Two of their children, Jacobus and Margarita, were prob. born in Holland. About 1711-12, Jan Varick and his wife removed to Hackensack, N. J. He was living May 29, 1720, at which date he and his wife were sponsors at the baptism in Hackensack of Sara, dau. of Abram Varick. After his death his widow was engaged in selling merchandise, or Shop Keeping, at Hackensack. Her will is dated Sept. 8, 1731 ; proven May 12, 1736; names her sons Jacobus and Abraham Varick ; daughters, Cornelia, wife of Thomas Jefferies ; Mary ; Margaretje, wife of Peter Stoutenburgh ; her sister Engeltje Visbooms, and her grand dau.
