ADRIANCE Many of the original Dutch settlers in this country were neglectful in the use of fam-
ily or surnames, while others who had them frequently adopted the christian name of their father as a surname, usually, but not invaria- bly, adding to it either "sen," "sc." "s." sz," or "z." all of which had the same meaning and signified son. This often resulted in de- scendants of a common ancestor bearing en- tirely different names. This is the case in the present Adriance and Ryerson families, and the Martense Arie or Arien Ryerse and Maerte Ryerse, both sons of Ryerse. Ryerse, although not a surname, was retained by the descendants of Maerte ( Marten) Ryerse, who are now numerous and bear the name of Ry- erson. The descendants of Arie ( Arien, Adrian) Ryerse added the "se," and used Adrian as a surname-which later became the present Adriance. Elbert and Marten Adri- ense were sons of Adrien Reverse, of Flat- bush, who, with his brother Marten Reverse, came from Amsterdam. The history of this family strikingly exhibits the carly habit of changing names. Reverse, itself no surname, but simply a patronymic, was retained by de- scendants of Marten Reverse, who are now numerous and bear the name of Ryerson. Of the two brothers Elbert and Marten Adriense, the first settled in Flushing, and his posterity there, in Dutchess county and elsewhere, com- pose the Adriance family. Marten Adriense remained in Flatbush, married Sarah, a sis- ter of the wife of his brother Elbert, and had sons: Adrian, Rem and Gerrit, who took the patronymic Martense, and were the progeni- tors of the present Martense family.
(I) Adrian Ryerse probably emigrated in 1646, as he took the oath of allegiance in 1687, and at that time stated that he had been in America forty-one years. He married Anna, daughter of Martin Schenck.
(II) Elbert Adriance, son of Adrian and Anna (Schenck) Ryerse, was born in 1663. He married Catalina, daughter of Rem Jan- sen Vanderbeeck and Jannetie, daughter of Joris Jansen de Rapalie. The sons of Rem
426
HUDSON AND MOHAWK VALLEYS
Jansen Vanderbeeck dropped the surname and took instead the father's patronymic, Rem, added sen, and thus Rem Jansen Vanderbeeck became the ancestor of the Remsens of America.
(III) Rem, son of Elbert and Catalina (Vanderbeeck) Adriance, was born in 1690. He married Sarah, born December 18, 1691, daughter of Joris and Annetie (daughter of Teunis Jansz Coevers, ancestor of the Covert family of this country) Brinckerhoff, and a direct descendant of Joris Dericksen Brinck- erhoff, born in Holland in 1609, came to America in 1638, and died January 16, 1661.
(IV) Abraham, son of Rem and Sarah (Brinckerhoff) Adriance. was born in 1720, and removed to Fishkill, Dutchess county, New York. He married (first) in Fishkill, Sarah, daughter of Jeromus and Elizabeth (Bedell) Repleyca, of Fishkill, a descendant of Joris Jansen Repleyea, born in 1623, who built the first house on Long Island, founded the city of Brooklyn, and whose daughter Sarah was the first white child born of Euro- pean parents in the state of New York. Abra- ham Adriance married (second) Phoebe Van Kleek.
(\') John, son of Abraham Adriance, prob- ably by his first wife, but of this there is no record, was born in Fishkill, New York, in' 1753, died May 29, 1794. He married En- geltje Storm, born in Fishkill, died at the age of fifty-four years, and who was a de -. scendant of Dirck, who came to America on the ship "Fox" in 1662.
(VI) Abraham J., son of John and En- geltje (Storm) Adriance, was born October 13, 1773, died from the effects of a sunstroke, August 1. 1821. He married, April 28, 1796, Mary Elizabeth Evrand Van Vleck, born at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, March 5. 1778, diced November 5, 1842. She was the daughter of Abraham HI. Van Vleck, was born in 1747, died August 29, 1777: he married, December 13. 1772. Elizabeth Eyrand, born in La Ro- chelle, France, daughter of a French artist of Huguenot descent, and died July 8, 1828; she married (second) 1792, Thomas Mesnard, an Englishman, who was a shipmaster and died July 29. 1827: no children hy second hus- band ; her family had migrated to this country on account of religious persecutions.
The Van Vlecks were a noted Moravian family who left Germany with a colony that settled around Bethlehem and Nazareth, Penn- sylvania, and for a number of generations they had been noted for the number of bishops and preachers they had furnished the church. Religious persecution was the cause of their leaving home, and to this day many of the
ancient customs they established are observed in the community, and they are foremost in all religious and educational matters.
