He is listed in the following census:
1940 Fed. census (1 Apr): Household of Jacob TenBruggen Cate, 15 Royal Avenue, Hawthorne, Passaic County, New Jersey. Household consists of Jacob, his wife Bertha and and their children Anna and Jack.3

Name variants: Jacobus Albertus ten Bruggencate (full name).1 Peter Ten Bruggen-Cate (in the obituary of his daughter and of his wife)5,13 The name of his daughter AnnaMarie's father-in-law was Peter (Lydecker), and with all the divorces and abandonment, this is probably the source of the confusion.5
