"Van Riper's of Wayne, NJ"
| I am researching the VAN RIPER family of Wayne, NJ.The family is mainly from the northern central part of the state (Paterson, Wayne (Mountain View, Packanack Lake, Preakness), and Verona.I have little at present, since most of the family records have been lost. Most info I have comes from birth and death records I have been able to obtain and from church records. My grandfathers name is Oliver Van Riper, born 28 Sept 1870 in Verona, NJ, and died 3 May 1953 in Paterson, NJ. His mother's maiden name is Sarah Penn (b: 10 Mar 1852) and his father's name is Edward (born abt 1851, died 1 Mar 1903 in Newark, NJ).This all the information I have available at the present.He lived in Caldwell Township, Mountain View and Verona and worked in the prior areas and Newark and Paterson.His father's name is Jacob L. Van Riper born 20 May 1821 and mother was Margaret Dipley born in Canada (?). I am also looking information on the BOWMAN family from Ohio and the WEST family from NJ.All I have at present on the WEST family is my grandmothers name (Mary Louisa).Her father was James West, born Aug 1854 and her mother was Mary F. Riker, born May 1865., so I have little from this side of the family. My grandothers maiden name on the Bowman side was Ida Mae (May) Northrop and grandfather was William Bowman.The family is from the Carbondale OH area.Any information would be appreciated. Should anyone have any information that would prove useful, it would be appreciated.As I find more information, I will be happy to share it with anyone. | "Van Riper's of Wayne, NJ" Updated August 14, 2005 |
