THE VAN DER HEYDEN FAMILY
The Van Der Heyden family was
founded in this country by Jacob
Tyssen Van Der Heyden, a tailor from
Amsterdam. He reached what is now
New York about 1653, the year fol
lowing going north to what is now
Albany. Seeing that there were pros
pects for himself and a family in the
new world he then returned to Am
sterdam to marry the woman of hts
choice, Anna Hals, and with ser sailed
again for the new world. After 30
yean? of prosperity spent in the vicin
ity of Albany Jacob died, leaving a
Bon, Dirk, to carry on the name and
traditions of the family.
Dirk was an innkeeper by trade who
won fame because of his part in the
Indian expedition of 1686, on which he
was carried prisoner to Quebec, where
he escaped only after suffering se
vere torture. In 1687 he was married
to Rachel Jochemse.
In 1720 he obtained from Peter Van
Woggelum a grant of 490 acres of land
In fee. at a yearly rent of “five schep
els of wheat and four fat fowls.” This
grant was called the “Poesten Bowery,”
or farm. Hater it was known as Van
derheyden's Ferry and in 1789 it be
came the city of Troy, N. Y.
Dirk and his wife, Rachel, had the
following children: Agniet. Anna, Ja
cobus,. Jacob, Dirk, David, Matthys.
Jochein, Rachel and Johannes.
Several years before his death, Kirk
conveyed his land to his three sons,
David, Jacob and Matthias—or Mat
thys. To Jacob, who married Hester,
daughter of Nanning Harmense Vis
scher. the gave the northern portion ol'
his property, but later David, who mar
ried Geertrury Visscher. released his
share, the “middle portion,” to his older
brother, who, therefore, held the mid
dle and northern portions. Matthias re
ceived the “southern portion.”
I Jacob and Hester Visscher had two
sons and a daughter, Allda* To their
two sons. Dirk and Jacob, they gave
t\Vp portions of their land—the middK
and northern, respectively. The mid
dle allotment passed on to Dirk's son,
Jacob, born In 1758, and known as the
Patroon. In 1778 this Jacob bought
the Van Der Heyden mansion, or pal
ace, as it was sometimes called, which
wras built Over 50 years before of bricks’
Imported from Holland. It was one ol'
the best specimens of Dutch architec
ture in the country. Its dimensions
were 50 fe$t by 20 feet, with a hall
and two rooms on a floor. The massive
beams and braces projected out into
the rooms. It is described by Wash
ington Irving in the story of Dolph
Heyllnger, in “Bracebridge Hall.” The
weather vane, a horse going at full
speed, was placed by Mr. Irving above
the turret of the doorway of his own
home, Sunnvside, at Tarytown, N. Y.,
when, in 1833, the old Van Der Heyden ,
house was demolished.
There is no coat of armR for the
family to be had from Holland, for

settled In England, for in the British
armories we find the coat of arms of
the Vander Heydens well established.
It is blazoned: Sable, three mullets
pierced argent, on a conton or, a rose
of the field.
The mullet, when !t is pierced, de
notes in heraldry a spur. Whereas a
gold spur, or a mullet pierced or, sig
nifies knighthood, a silver spur, or a
mullet pierced argent, goes with the
title of esquire. There was an ancient
English order known as the Esquires
of the Silver Spur, which was slightly
received in the reign of Queen Vic
toria. Whether or not one of the Eng
lish Vander Heydens belonged to this
ancient order no one seems to know.
The canton in heraldic symbolism
stands very high. It was granted only
by sovereigns and makes especially
distinguished the symbol it contains.
In this case, the symbol is a black
rose, but Its significance seems to be
lost in the mystery of forgotten his
tory.
To T. R. C., who asks for informa
tion of the family of Robert Cham
bers, a description of the coat of arms
and “general characteristics of the
Chambers family if any such general
izations have been made.
Robert Chambers was born at Stir
ling, Scotland, and came to this coun
! try, 1685. and settled at what is now
Perth Amboy. A John Chambers, who
was born in Scotland, and died at Tren
ton, N. J., 1 746, may have been Rob
ert's son. John’s son, Alexander, held
many offices. He was an alderman
and commissary of the state troops in
the revolution. His wife was Rose
Crage. Their grandson. John Story |
Chambers, born in Trenton, 1782, mar
ried Elizabeth Seudder, granddaughter
of Amos Seudder. who was guide to
Washington at the battle of Trenton.
John Story Chambers. Jr., was an of
fice holder, and his home was built on
land which had been in the Chambers
family for 100 years or more. He mar
ried Emma Fish, whose great-grand
father. Benjamin Moore, entertained
Washington at breakfast after that
memorable crossing of the Delaware.
The coat-of-arms of the Chambers
is blazoned: Sable, a cross couped, er
mine, between four martlets rising, or
Crest: on a ducal coronet, or, a
deml-eagle. displayed gules. No motto
is given with this coat-armor, hut there
are other arms, for different branches
of the family, and many have mottoes,
for example: Avaneez—advance: Lux
Mihi Laurus—light Is a laurel to me:
Non Praeda; Sed Victoria—not the spoil
but victory. These are all mottoes of
the Scottish family, and the arms il
lustrated is for the family of Stirling.
Scotland. Spero Dum 'Spird—while T
breathe T hope— is another Chambers
motto, and different heraldic charges
include the lion and the bear. The
Chambers of London have an interest
ing coat-of-arms, a man with a pick
ax working in a copper mine and the
plnnet Venus are the charges.
Characteristic of the Chambers fam
ily are great business or executive abil
ity, and reserved manners. “If only
slightly known, as a rule, they are
not popular."
Answers to Correspondents
To “One of the Barringtons," who J
asks for a description of the family
coat-of-arms with symbolism.
The blazon, or description of the
Barrington, is as follows: Argent, three
chevronels, gules, a label of as many
points, azure.
Crest: Out of a vallery crown, or. a
hermit’s bust, with cowl, vested paly
of six, argent and gules.
Motto: Honesta quam splendlda—
things honest rather than splendid, or
honorable acquisitions rather than
splendid ones. j
The supporters of this coat-armor |
should be two griffins, wings expand
ed, or, each gorged with a label of
three points, azure. i
The label is a diffeernce for chiefs
of families: chevronels denote strength
and protection; a human head sym
bolizes honor. Argent, or silver, Is a
symbol of sincerity: gules, or red, de
notes military courage and magnan
imity; azure, peace, sincerity, purity
and or, generosity and elevation of
mind.
To T. S. S., who asks “who was the f
first of the Simmons family in this
country and what is the family coat
of-arms?’’
The first of the Simmons family in
this country was Moses Simmons, who
is usually counted as one of the Pil
grim fathers. Governor Winslow
writes of him that he was "a child j
of one that is communion of the
Dutch church at Leyden.” He came to
Plymouth in 1621 on board the For
tune.
The coat-of-arms of the Simmons
family is blazoned: Perfesse sable and
argent a pale counterchanged, three
trefoils, slipped of the seoond, a bor
der counterchanged.
FRENCH SURGEONS
SELDOM AMPUTATE
London. October 2.—(Special.)—Mar
garet Peterson, whose first novel, pub
lished hy Putnam a couple of years
afro, won an English publisher's prise
of 11250 and whose sales have been
steadily Increasing ever since, has Just
completed a new novel. Lately also
she has been very busy In other di
rections. Feeling that she really must
do something In the field of war work
she volunteeered for service and spent
sometime in a big French hospital. The
strain, however, proved too great and
she had to give In and return home.
She bears out the statement that,
while the French surgeons may be good
men at their work they do ae little
amputating as possible, believing It
better. It would seem, to take the risk
of the patient dying rather than re
move a leg or part of one. The reason
Is that everv additional man unfitted
to do his full day’s work Is a tax on
the Slate and they mean to keep down
this sort of taxation as much as pos
ithle.
Then again Miss Peterson has been
exceptionally active In the matrimonial
line. Her newly acquired husband, an
officer in the Honorable Artillery com- |‘
pany, came to London from the front
Dn a few days' leave. The authoress
vows that up to that moment she had
no Idea whatever of getting married.
Anyway, within’ the space of those few
days ahe was courted, engaged an<1
married to the officer in question.
Some hustle. Two or three years ago,
It 1* Interesting to remember, she ran
away from India where she had spent
most of her life, in order to escape
marrying another man. This also wks
a sudden affair, for all wai well right
up to tho day of the marriage, when
III waa nowhere to bo found.
