The Life Summary of Abel Janse Capteyn

When Abel Janse Capteyn Riddenhaur was born in 1665, in Bergen, New Jersey, British Colonial America, his father, Hendrick Abelse Riddenhauer, was 23 and his mother, Sophia van Wijckersloot, was 35. He married Cathlyntje Janszsen Van Blarcom on 26 July 1696, in Bergen Township, Bergen, New Jersey, British Colonial America. They were the parents of at least 5 sons and 4 daughters. He died in 1717, in his hometown, at the age of 52, and was buried in Bergen, New Jersey, British Colonial America.

Note: Bergen Township was a township that existed in the U.S. state of New Jersey, from 1661 to 1862, first as Bergen, New Netherland, then as part Bergen County, and later as part of Hudson County. Several places still bear the name: the township of North Bergen; Bergen Square, Old Bergen Road, Bergen Avenue, Bergen Junction, Bergen Hill and Bergen Arches in Jersey City; Bergen Point in Bayonne; and Bergenline Avenue and Bergen Turnpike in North Hudson.

The name Bergen was originally given to the peninsula between the Hudson River and Hackensack River by the European settlers to New Netherland. There are various opinions as to the origin.

Some believe it comes from the Dutch word bergen, which in the Germanic languages of northern Europe means hills, and could describe the most distinct geological feature of the region, The Palisades.

A more farfetched interpretation is that it comes from the Dutch word bergen, meaning to save or to recover, inspired by the settlers return after they had fled attacks by the native population after the Peach Tree War in 1655.

Others say it is so called for the town of Bergen, North Holland in the Netherlands or (less likely) Bergen op Zoom, also in the Netherlands or the city of Bergen in Norway. Another theory is that the Dutch residents named their city after an early Scandinavian settler of New Amsterdam, Hans Hansen Bergen, who arrived in Manhattan in 1633 as a ship's carpenter. Bergen initially settled on Pearl Street in Lower Manhattan and later owned extensive plantations elsewhere on the island, none of which were in Bergen Township. From Bergen, Norway, he was one of the few Scandinavian settlers of New Amsterdam. Wikipedia
