Individual Details

Hester Op Den Graeff b 1609 Krefeld,Germany m Isaac Van Bebber Was he ancestor of Lisbet and Deborah of Germantown, m Herman Isaacks Opdengraeff? I am informed that he was the ancestor of the Van Bebber's who settled in Germantown. The name Jacob tells us his father was named Isaac. Pennypacker's "Historical and Biographical Sketches" says "The Van Bebbers were undoubtedly men of standing, ability, enterprise and means. The father, JACOB ISAACS (implies his father was Isaac) moved into Philadelphia bef 1698, being described as a merchant in High Street, and died ther before 1711. Matthias, who is frequently mentioned by James Logan, made a trip to HOlland in 1701...returned to Philadelphia bef 4/13/1702. He reained in that city until 1704, when HE AND HIS ELDER BROTHER, ISAAC JACOBS, [and others] removed to Bhoemia Manor, Cecil County, Maryland. There he was a justice of the Peace, and is described in the deeds as a merchant and a gentleman. Their descendants, like many others, soon fell away from the simple habits and strict creed of their fathers; the Van Bebbers of Maryland have been distinguished in all the wars and at the bar." A Van Bebber founded "Van Bebber's Township", a Mennonite settlement, by buying more than 6000 acres there, and also others among the settlers served as agents for their affairs, which makes it pretty clear that they had substantial affairs.
