Mary Ten Eyck was also called 'Polly' Ten Eyck. Parents: Rachel and Jacob Eyck/Ten Eyck. Polly was born in NY in March, 1765. Her father left a will dated 1810 filed in Rockland County(Surrogate's Court). John George Tremper married Polly Ten Eyck on 29 July 1794 at the Kakiat Reformed Dutch Church, also called the New Hempstead RDC, and he was recorded as 'Hans Jurry Tremper, a widower.' Hans Jurry is the German equivalent of John George. His first child Margrietje/Mary E. born about 1794 and baptized 7 Jan 1795 at Deer Park Township (now Port Jervis) must be from his 1st wife, whose name I do not know. Children of John George Tremper and Polly Ten Eyck are John (1795), Jacob (1796), John George (1797), Phoebe Ten Eyck (1801) and Catherine Snyder (1803). Their son John married Elizabeth Gardner; Jacob married Maria Roosa and migrated to Washtenaw Co, MI; John G. married Sarah Perry; Phoebe married Wilmot Haines; and Catherine 'Caty' married Jacob LaTourette. A lot of the baptismal records for their children are found in the records of the New Hurley RDC, just over the Ulster County line from Orange Co.

Author: pmleith Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.tremper/82.2.1.2.1.1.3/mb.ashx Message Board Post: One final caution in relation to Tremper/Trumper families in Rockland, Orange, Westchester Counties, NY. The descendants of the original German immigrants who settled in Orange and Rockland Co. all had many children. The traditional naming pattern was to name children after their grandparents: 1st male child after the paternal grandfather; 1st female child after the maternal grandmother; 2nd male child after the maternal grandfather; 2nd femald child after the paternal grandmother. After that, children were usually named for brothers or sisters of their parents. This resulted in MANY CHILDREN OF THE SAME NAME, born about the same time, in the same location until transportation became more common to a wider geographic area. One cannot assume, as an example, that a child named John Tremper b. in 1800 in Rockland or Orange, or even Ulster Co. or NYC, is the same person as one who later appears in a U.S. census in that same county. It is also common to find 1st cousins marrying 1st cousins, where the cousins have cousins bearing the same name. One needs to check numerous sour! ces before jumping to conclusions.

Budke's "Historical Miscellanies" published in 1923 in NYC. You should go there and take notes or photocopy pages related to the Tremper/Trumper families in Rockland Co. Other references are "History of Rockland County, NY"(1884) by Rev. David Cole D.D.which has an appendix, indexed, listing Baptisms at Tappan and Clarkstown with the original surnames. Again, Tremper, Trumper, Tromper and Trimper would all be the same family. JOHN J. TRUMPER, b. 16 July 1794 was a farmer. He was the 9th child of Tunis/Theunis Trumper (1850) and Anna Catrina Snyder (1851) He married on 8 Aug 1818 at Greenbush Presby. Ch, MARY BAKER, b. 27 Feb 1799 in NY, d. 12 Jan 1856. This couple were buried at the Snyder Cemetery in Valley Cottage, Rockland Co, NY which may no longer exist. (Check records of Oak Hill Cemetery in Nyack to see if perhaps they were re-interred there.)They had 7 children, as you noted. JOHN J. TRUMPER b. 3 Jan 1783 who m. Eliza Bell was a brother of Harmon Trumper b. 3 Jan 1783, the shoemaker who married Eliza Bell. Another brother of John J. Trumper and Harmon Trumper is JOHANNIS/JOHN T.

They werer married 15 March 1796 at either Tappan Reformed Dutch Church or in Clarkstown RDC. The parents of John J., Harmon and Johannis/John T.Trumper are TEUNIS/THEUNIS T. TREUMPER (1750-ca 1824) and ANNA CATRINA SNYDER (1751-ca 1798), who had 7 children total.

Tremper (and Rachel Ann Tremper) fit into "all this", is that the Tremper/Trumper/Trimper Family in New York State and across the U.S. mainly are descendants of one couple, Johan Jacob Tromper (unlaut above the o)(ca 1670-ca 1740 ) and Anna Christina Welcker( ca 1675-1740 ) who came to Manhattan, NY from Neuwied, Germany about 1720. This couple had 5 sons who came with them, other children who died young back in Germany. The sons were JOHANNES (1703-1771 ); jOHANN GEORG (1709-CA 1770); wILHELMUS (1712-1872); jOHAN jACOB, JR (1715-1719); AND, hERMANNUS (1718-1780). Johannes m. Maritta Felton and settled in Orange Co, NY - Newburgh area. Johann Georg married 1.Lena Dennemarcken, 2.SusannaTypel and setled in Dutchess Co, NY (Rhinebeck area). Wilhelmus married Madelena Hough/Huyk, went up to the Schoharie/Mohawk River Valley, then to Philadelphia PA. His wife came from Dutchess or Columbia Co, NY. Johoan Jacob, jr married Anna Maria Pfeiffer in NYC and their descendants went up to Ulster Co, NY (Kingston area). Those are my direct ancestors. Hermannus married Anna Elisabetha Felten and went to southern Orange Co. (Tappan area) which in 1798 split off into Rockland Co., NY.

That is not surprising, since there are so many people of the same name born the same year or about the same time. The surname on this branch of the family can change between TRUMPER and TREMPER. Basic research using good sources will separate them. #1. JOHN H. TREMPER b. Clarkstown, Rockland Co. NY on 7/20/1837; d. 3 March 1861 in Clarkstown; buried in Oak Hill Cemetery, Nyack, Rockland Co, NY. He was a Son of Harman TRUMPER (same family, spelling of name changes on and off) b. 3 Jan 1783 in NY; married on 25 Dec 1822 at Greenbush Presbyterian Church,Greenbush,Rockland Co. ELIZA ANN BELL, b. ca 1808; d. 24 April 1895; buried Oak Hill Cemetery, Nyack NY. His grandfatehr was Harman/Hermen Trumper, sr b. 9/15/1745 in Rockland Co. Sources for this are at the New City Public Library, Rockland Room, New City, Rockland Co. NY. #2. JOHN H. TREMPER, buried in Yonkers is a different person, only distantly related to the Rockland Co. Tremper/Trumper family. My detailed story on him: JOHN H. TREMPER (1836-1920 ) of Westchester Co, NY married Francis Tompkins (1840-1920 ), Ice Dealer in New York City Area John H. Tremper was born in July,1836 in New York State, probably in Niagara Co. His parents, William Tremper (1796) and Polly Myrick (1803) had grown up and been married in Jefferson Co. in or near Chaumont then migrated down to Niagara Co. near Buffalo. They moved to Lake Co, IN. William farmed, they had more children, and then he died in 1865 while at least one of their sons was away fighting with the Union Army. John H. Tremper moved with his widowed mother, Polly, and his younger siblings to join his elder brother Lorenzo Bonaparte Tremper (1825), out in Lower Lake in Lake Co, California. There they engaged in farming and grew mainly fruit. It appears to have been a very successful farming operation, and it continued into succeeding generations. At some point, John H. Tremper moved back to the Hudson River Valley and settled in Yonkers in Westchester Co. He was a carpenter in 1870, but then became an ice dealer. He may have bought the Westchester Co. business from one G.R. Tremper,an ice dealer living near him in Yonkers who was a distant relative. G.R. Tremper and his wife moved to New York City where he continued in the ice business. In the mid to late 1800's people in cities had no electricity and, therefore, no refrigera¬tors as we know them today. Instead, they had "ice boxes" which held blocks of ice or had an outbuilding called an ice house in which ice was stored and covered with straw to reduce melting. The ice was used to cool milk, and to preserve any other foods needing to stay cool. There was a wealth of ice, free for the hauling, on the Hudson River... which froze routinely every winter for several months, until sometime in the 1940's when a deep channel was dug as far north as Albany to allow the passage of ocean-going freighters carryint oil and other cargo all the way up the river. After the deepwater channel was dug, the river no longer froze, but the cutting and sale of ice for refrigeration was no longer viable anyway... due to the availability of electric refrigerators. John H. Tremper and his colleagues who dealt in ice harvested it in winter, stored it in huge sheds somewhere nearby. Over the spring, summer and fall they sold the ice to businesses in the New York City area. Restaurants, hotels, and businesses selling perishable foods, as well as private homes all required ice. John H. married Frances Tompkins in 1863. They had 8 children: Fanny E.(1865); Charles (1868); George R. (1872); Louisa (1874); Ella (1877); Harriot (1879); May (1881), and one more child who must have died young. Charles also seems to have died young, as he was not listed in the 1880 Census with the rest of this family. John H. Tremper and Francis Tompkins lived until after 1920 when they were listed in the US Census living at 371 Riverdale Avenue, Yonkers, NY. at age 82 and 80, respectively. They later moved to Darien, CT and lived with a daughter. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
