     Jacob Jacobse made a will on 30 September 1708. It was proved 16 Oct 1732.

Witnesses: Henry Epken Banta, Abraham Ackerman, John Conrad Codweiss, Matthys Demoot, and Elaes Gerbran.¹¹
     Both Jacob (Van Riper File) and his brother Waling (Unknown source) have a death date of 20 Nov 1724. As Waling makes his will in 1727, that death date has to be wrong.^6,12
     The name Van Winkle is derived from winkle, a corner, square, shop. Winkelier was a shopkeeper. The ancestor was a shop or storekeeper. Its present orthography is comparatively modern. The family settled in Harsimus (Paramus) shortly after their arrival in this country. They came from Middleburgh, the capital of Zealand, one of the United Provinces. The city was on the island Walcheren, about forty miles S.W. of Rotterdam well built and populous, with a fine harbor and a profitable trade. (NOTE: This seems in contradiction with the origin of his father, who is said to be from near Hoorn in North Holland.)⁶
     I have not ascertained the names of the parents of the three boys and two girls who seem to have made up this family. Their names were Jacob, Waling, Symon, Annetje and Grietje: their patronymic being Jacobse - children of Jacob. Jacob was the founder of the family in what is now the county of Hudson. Waling and Symon were of the company from Bergen who, in 1679, purchased and afterward settled 'Haquequenunck,' Aquackanonck, now Passaic. They were the founders of the family at that place. The name was formerly written Van Winkle (source ?)⁶ Name variation: Jacob Jacobse Walich Van Winkle.¹³
