Holland Society, 90 West Street, New York "The History of old New York families and especially those of Holland origin is full of quaint features resulting from the projection of Dutch customs in the New World. Nowhere can better illustration be found than in the family names of the Seventeenth Century. The filial qualities seem to have been much stronger than they are with the people of today. The son and daughter took the father's first name and added to it "a" or "e" or "sen" to express filial relationship and gave little thought to the family name of their sire. In some cases they seemed to tire of the family name and adopted a second. An illustration is afforded by the distinguished REMSEN family, which for more than two centuries and a half have been prominent in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and other districts of the Empire State. Their family name is VANDERBEEK OR VANDERBEECK meaning "Of the Brook". Their family belonged to the nobility of Germany and of the Netherlands at a very early period. The first reference to them in the ancient chronicle was in 1162 A.D. when the Empire Barbarosca presented a valorous knight of their race with a handsome coat of arms. From that time up to the present century their name has been frequent in the annals of both Germany and Holland where they earned honor by courage in war and public service in peace. The founder of the race in America was REM JANSEN VANDERBEEK, who came to the Netherlands in He was a farmer and in addition, a skillful blacksmith. At that time the young men of Holland were obligated by law and custom to learn a regular trade in addition to their ordinary calling. This was done for the protection of the community in the event of invasion by the sea or beleaguered by foreign army. Soon after Rem's arrival, he espoused 'ANNETJE, the beautiful daughter of JORIS JANSEN DE RAPALJE and they settled in Albany--then Fort Orange. He took up a farm, opened a forge, and prospered in both calling. He was a man of powerful physique and sweet disposition, a good natured laughing giant who won the affection of young and old. A kind husband and 2 February 11, 2003

3 a loving father he soon had ample opportunity for the use of both virtues having a family of which 15 grew up and were married. He accumulated property and would have doubtless remained in his first home but for the rumors of an Indian uprising. He had no fear for himself, but much solicitude for his little ones. At the same time, his father-in-law JORIS bought a large estate at the Wallabout and added his persuasion to the other incentives for removal. Rem complied and took up a fine track of meadow and marshland at the Wallabout which was held by the family for more than 200 years. In Brooklyn, he was as popular as he was at Fort Orange. Shortly after his arrival, he was made an official and during the second Butch administration, he became a magistrate. Of his fair wife, a family tradition says that in her babyhood, she, with her Indian nurse, sailed across Buttermilk Channel in a Dutch washtub. That body of water between Governor's Island and Brooklyn, which now floats an ocean steamer, was then a shallow estuary which, at very low tide, could be waded across by a grown man. Rem died in 1681 and at his funeral, his 15 children with their wives, husbands, and children were present. It was a seven day's talk in New York and made so deep an impression upon the public mind, that it is probable that both his offspring and the public considered the dead man as a greater personality then the race of which he was a member, and so induced the adoption of "REMSEN" as a family name from that time on. The sons were JAN, JORIS, REM, JACOB, JEROMUS, DANIEL, ABRAHAM, ISAAC, and JEREMIAS. Of the daughters, ANNA married JAN G. DORLANDT, HILDEGOOND married ARIS J.

Code 212, "Historical Note - Marble Collegiate Church is the oldest place of worship of the Collegiate Reformed Protestant Dutch Church of the City of New York, which was organized in 1628 under the Dutch West India Company when Peter Minuit was Governor of New Amsterdam. The first minister was Dominie (Pastor) Jonas Michaelius, who appointed Peter Minuit as Elder and Bastiaen Jonaz Krol as Deacon. It is the oldest Protestant organization in North America with continuous service for 365 years. In 1696, when New Amsterdam was under British rule and had been renamed New York, King William III granted the Church a Royal Charter which was confirmed in 1753 by the Legislature of the Colony of New York and continues in force by the Constitution of the State of New York. It is the oldest corporation in America. It denominational affiliation is with the Reformed Church in America." 3 February 11, 2003

Orange, 1623; New Amsterdam, Remsen, from a son of REM(MERT) JANSEN VANDEREBEECK, from Holland to Beverwyck, N.B. The regular mode of forming family names in the Low Countries or Netherlands (Holland and Belgium), as in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Iceland was patronymic; that is, the Christian-name of the father was the basis of the last name of the son; so Remsen, the son of Rem(Mert) Jansen; the ending-sen, the same as son, in English John-son, is varied to -zen, and often shortened to -se; as in Jan-se=son of Jan (Eng. John)..." Though VERREZZANI (VERRAZANO) in 1524 probable entered the lower bay, Henry Hudson, captain in the employ of the Dutch East India Company, in Sept. 1609, guided the first ship, the Half Moon, past Manhattan, and up the Hudson river nearly to Albany. The company began a trading post, called Mannahatta (Manhattan) in 1614; and in 1615 another at Fort Orange (now Albany). In 1624, the Dutch West India Company made a permanent settlement on Manhattan; it sent Peter Minuits as governor, who arrived 1625 with a company who settled Breukelen (Brooklyn). The Dutch settlements were mostly confined to the Hudson Valley below Troy, and Western Long Island, with a few in northeastern New Jersey; for the early immigration was not nearly as large nor as widely distributed as that of Massachusetts, though drawn from the whole south coast of the North Sea. The settlers belonged mainly to the DUTCH REFORMED CHURCH, Presbyterian in organization, but there was general toleration of religious beliefs. " - SHIP PASSENGER LISTS, N.Y.
