  Ship's surgeon and early settler Monday September 7, 2009, 12:32 AM By Richard Townsend, Columnist The first of the Vanderbecks in New Netherlands to my knowledge was Paulus Vanderbeck born about 1624 in Bremen, Holland. He was a ship's surgeon for the Dutch West India Company prior to 1644. About 1657 he was a farmer and operated the Breukelen (Brooklyn) ferry service. He settled at Flatbush, Long Island and at Gowanus, Kings County before 1657. He married Marritgen Thomasdr Bayde, daughter of Thomas Badie and Aeltje Branconie. Marritgen married three times to Jacob Verdon in 1624, Adrian Willemszen Bennet, and on Oct. 9, 1644 to Paulus Vanderbeck. She had children by all three of her husbands. She outlived her third husband Paulus who died in 1680 by 16 years. Paulus and Marritgen had several children including: Catharyn Van Der Beek who married Daniel Richaud; Coenradus Vanderbeck who married Elsje Jans Schaers; Aelje Vanderbeck who married Dirk J. Ammerman; Paulus Vanderbeck who married Sarah Shouten; Hester Vanderbeck who married Jeureaen Blanck; and Isaac Vanderbeck. Of these it is Paulus (1681-1766) who we follow into Pompton. Paulus Vanderbeck and Sarah Shouten were married on June 13, 1677 and were members of the Reformed Church of Brooklyn. They had several children including: Paulus Van Derbeck who married Cathalyntie Ryerson, daughter of Marten Ryerson and Annetje Jorise Rapelje; a second Sara Van Debeck who died young; Maria Van Derbeck who married Cornelius Christiansen; Sara Van Derbeck who married Hendrick Pieterse; Lucas; Jannaken; and Jacob. Of these it is Paulus and Cathalyntie who we follow into Pompton. Cathalyntie Ryerson was the widow of Samuel Berrie, one of the patentees of Pompton. She was a sister to Joris Ryerson, another patentee. Samuel, like Paulus, was from Flatbush, Long Island. Paulus Van Derbeck and Cathalyntie Ryerson were married on June 12, 1703, one year after the death of Samuel Berrie. The relationships formed in Flatbush and earlier carried over into the settlements within the Pompton Patent. Paulus built his home on the Pompton Plains adjacent to the Martin Berry home near the intersection of Jackson Avenue and Route 23. The property extended to the Pequannock River on the east. When Cathalyntie was married to Samuel Berrie, they resided at the "Hill's place in Bloomingdale." Their son Martin built the Martin Berry house next to the Vanderbeck house. Martin was Cathalyntie's son by her first marriage. The Berry house is one of the finest examples of Dutch architecture remaining in the state. Paulus and Cathalyntie had several children including: Catalyna who married Johannis Van Gelder; Maria who married Garret De Boog (Debow); Sarah; and Elizabeth who married David Van Gelder. As all of the children were girls, the Vanderbeck name was no longer carried on in this line. Elizabeth was born in 1711 at Pompton Plains. Maria was born in 1706 at Pompton Plains. Sarah died young. The first name, Paulus, was given to Paulus De Bow, and Paulus Berry in the next generation. Garret De Boog and Maria Vanderbeck had several children including: Catalyna who married Simon Van Ness; Elizabeth who married Abraham Gould; Paulus De Bow who married Geesje Francisco (Cisco/Sisco); John De Bow who married Jannetje Van Ness; Maria; and Sarah who married Phillip Schuyler. Of these, Paulus De Bow purchased the tract of land known as the De Bow Plantation in 1767. Later, the present homestead was built before 1840. Charles H. Detwiller Jr., architect for the state, said the house had some architectural characteristics similar to the original Governor's Mansion in Perth Amboy. Six generations of De Bows lived in the house until it was sold out of the family hands in 1924. - See more at: http://www.northjersey.com/community/history/more_history_news/57620392.html
