From Dr. J. Thomas Scharf
"Jacob Van der Weer, was a Dutch soldier, and assisted in the capture of Fort
Christina from the Swedes in 1655. (This was the army of Peter Stuyvesand from
the New Netherlands-- New York.) This Fort was built by the Swedes in 1638,
when they first made a settlement in Delaware, and was located on the South
side of Christina Creek, near 'The Rocks,' in the yard of the McCullough Iron
Works, near the Old Swede Church in Wilmington."
"Around this Fort fifteen or twenty houses were clustered when the Dutch
captured the settlement. By them the name was changed to Fort Altena, and a
little town laid out West of the Fort, called Christianham, now Wilmington."
"Jacob Van der Weer was a Sergeant in the garrison at Fort Altena, and 1660
he made application for his discharge in the Spring, upon the ground that 'he
desires to leave with the first vessel after the river is opened.' It was
his intention to command a vessel to be used in trading along the coast, but
he seems to have changed his mind. He did not leave the country, for on
April 8, 1661, he obtained a Deed for a lot of ground in Christianham, near
the Fort. In 1664 Fort Altena was captured by the English, and the country
passed under their government. The Fort was permitted to go to ruin, and
the town was abandoned. The land was laid out into five large tracts, and
on March 24, 1668, Jacob Vand der Weer received a patent and settled on a
tract of land North of the Brandywine, and erected a house on the site of
Pickel's Foundry, near which the family resided within the past fifty years.
In a 'roll of all the men, women, and children which are found and still live
in New Sweden on the Delaware River,' returned the Duke of York's Court in
Upland in November, 1677, we find the following census of the Van der Weers
then paying taxes, viz: Jacob Van der Weer, seven in family; and William
Van der Weer. (This William Van der Weer is doubtless the ancestor of the
North Carolina and South Carolina branch, whose name appears as such in a
family tree found in North Carolina.)"
"Opposite old Fort Christina, in Brandywine Hundred, Delaware, there was a
tract of high ground, which in 1653 was called 'Cooper's Island,' by reason
of two Dutch Coopers living there, who made barrels and casks. In March,
1682, Jacob Van der Weer obtained a warrant for this land, containing 147
acres, which included the small island, which was ever afterwards known as
Vand der Weer's Island. This island appears to have been a neck of land
where the railroad bridge now crosses, and the Van der Weer house is indicated
in the early records as being close to Brandywine Creek. It was at this place
that the Upland Court, on May 13, 1675, ordered a 'ferry to be maintained,'
and four year afterward, in 1679, the Court directed 'the road to ye ferry'
to be established. The ferry across the Brandywine was conducted by Jacob
Van der Weer and his heirs until a very early period, when they built a
bridge near the present Eleventh Street bridge in Wilmington, and charged
a toll for crossing it. The Assembly of Delaware in 1764 authorized the
erection of a bridge higher up the Brandywine, where the road provided for
in the Act of 1752 was intended to cross. The Vandever bridge was ordered
destroyed after the erection of the new bridge, erected on the site of the
present Market street bridge, but it was in use in 1767."
"The Swedes and Dutch, under the English in Delaware, were to remain upon
their lands, and were quietly in possession when William Penn assumed
authority in October, 1682. Courts were organized in November following,
and Penn took measures to bring the foreign population under English
citizenship. At a Court held at New Castle on the 21st and 22nd of
February, 1683, at which Penn was present, a form of naturalization was
adopted, and among those who took the oath of allegiance was Jacob Van der
Weer, (now spelled Vanderveer,) and Cornelius Vanderveer. On May, 1684,
Jacob Vandeveer recived a warrant for another tract of land, and this,
together with all the previous tracts which he had purchased, was re-surveyed
on April 6, 1688, and found to contain 532 acres, including the marsh. The
map of survey shows the land to be bound on the Southeast by Shellpot Creek
on the Northwest by Brandywine Creek, and on the other sides by the lands
of Hans and Usin Peterson."
"The Vanderveer tract embraced Brandywine Village, the settlement above
Eleventh street bridge, on the East side, where an old Vandiver farm house
stood in 1888. The elevations on this tract are known as 'Timber Island,'
'Thatcher's Hook,' &c. This large tract was for over one hundred and fifty
years in the hands of the Vandivers, when it was sub-divided and passed
into the possession of many owners."
