HESTER OP-DEN-GRAEFF, born 1609 in Krefeld, Germany; died 1643 in Krefeld, Germany; married ISAAC VAN-BEBBER; born Abt. 1609 in Krefeld, Germany.
Hester was the daughter of Hermen Op den Graeff of Aldekirk and his wife Greitgen Pletges of Kampen, both cities in Germany. Hester was probably born in Krefeld, Germany about 1609. She married Isaac Van Bebber about 1635, most likely in Krefeld. Isaac and Hester's children were Mennonites, a religious sect that came to be persecuted in Europe. It is not known if Isaac & Hester were Mennonites. Their children all emigrated to Pennsylvania in the mid 1680's to escape the religous persecution. No record of Isaac's death has been found, but it is probable that he died in Germany before his children came to America. Hester did come to America with her children, but died soon after her arrival. According to her son Herman she died on November 19, 1643, but according to the VanBibber website, she died on December 11, 1657. https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=113599817
______________________________
Hester Op den Graeff Birth 1609 in Krefeld, Germany married Isaac Van Bebber and was an ancestor of Lisbet and Deborah of Germantown, Married Isaac Van Bebber. I am informed that he was the ancestor of the Van Bebber's who settled in Germantown. The name Jacob tells us his father was named Isaac Van Bebber.
Pennypacker's "Historical and Biographical Sketches" says "The Van Bebbers were undoubtly men of standing, ability, enterprise and means. The father, Jacob Isaacs (implies his father was Isaac) moved into Philadelphia before 1698, being described as a merchant in Hight Street, and died there before 1711. Matthias, who is frequently mentioned by James Logan, made a trip to Holland in 1701, returned to Philiadelphia before 04/13/1702. He reained in that city until 1704 when He and his Elder Brother, Isaac Jacobs, [and others] removed to Bhoemia Manor, Cecil County, Maryland. There he was a justice of the peace, and is described in the deeds as a merchant and a gentleman. Their descendants, like many others, soon fell away from the simple habits and strict creed of their fathers; the Van Bebbers of Maryland have been distinguished in all the wars and at the bar.
A Van Bebber founded "Van Bebber's township, a Mennonite settlement by buying more that 6,000 acres there, and also others among the settlers served as agents for their affairs, which it pretty clear that they had substantial affairs.
