THE VANDERBECK FAMILY is among the most numerous of any in
Bergen and Hudson Counties. Paulus Vander Beek, the common ancestor
of the fancily in America, was a native of Bremen, in Germany, and came
to America about 1643, stopping first at New Amsterdam, where, on October
9, 1644, he married Maria Thomas (or Baddie). a widow who had previously
been the wife of Thomas Farden and William Arianse Bennett, of Gowan-nus. Paulus Vander Beek appears to have been of a roving disposition.
In 1655 he was living at Brooklyn. In 1660 he was following the calling
of a butcher in New Amsterdam. In 1661 he was farming the excise of
Long Island, and in 1662 he was ferry-master. On October 24. 1663, he
bought plantation lot No. 17 at Graves End. He was enrolled as a taxpayer of Brooklyn in 1675, and was one of the patentees of the Brooklyn
patent in 1677. In 1679 he sold half of a farm at Gowanus for 3,000
gelders. He resided on the farm at Gowannus, late of Garret Bergen. He
died in 1680. His children were Conrad. 1647; Aeltie, 1649; and Paulus,
Hester, Isaac, and Catharine. Paulus Vander Bee. (2), baptized at New
Asterdam, November 17, 1650, married, June 13, 1677, Sarah Schouten. He
resided at Gowannus, where he died about 1690. His issue of the third
generation were Sarah, Maria, Paulus, Sarah, Lucas, and Janneken.
Paulus Vanderbeck (3), baptized at Gowannus, November 6, 1681, married Jannetie Springsteen, and settled at Hackensack, joining the church there September 30, 1710, which is about the time he went there. He bought land in what is now Midland Township and at Paramus, where he settled. His cousin, Paulus Vanderbeck, son of Conrade (2), married J) Jannetie Johannes. widow of Jacob Culver, and (2) June, 1703, Catryn Martens, widow of Samuel Berry. He likewise settled near Hackensack. Paulus (3) had issue Abram, 1708, and Isaac, 1712, and Paulus (3), son of Conrad, had children Conrad, Jacob, Elsie, Paulus, and Catharine. From these residing about Paramus and Hackensack have sprung a numerous host, scattered over Bergen and Hudson Counties.
