   The reference to the coat-of-arms of the ancient family is that which Ricker states appeared in a bookplate of 1703. In the usual Holland work containing coats-of-arms it does not appear. However, it is stated that, some years ago, the wife of ex-Governor Bedle brought from Holland a copy, and a reproduction of it has been made by a Plainsfield artist for the Van Arsdale family.

   The first and fourth quarters consist of arrow heads upon a silver ground; the other quarters are plain red. The crest is a helmet, surmounted by what may be feathers, but has more the appearance of a tree. There is much ornamentation in silver and gold, as was the custom in early Dutch and German armorials.--Somerset County Historical Quarterly, Somerville, New Jersey, April, 1919.

   James Ricker, jr., author of "Annals of Newtown," was perhaps the most accurate of the historians who have written concerning the early history and early families of New Netherlands. He was also well qualified to write the early

   The following is quoted from page 307 of the "Annals of Newtown." "The Van Arsdale family derive their origin from Jan Van Arsdale, a Knight of Holland, who, in 1211, erected the castle (now county house) Arsdale and from it took his name. His armorial bearings now constitute the public arms of the bailiwick of Arsdale. From him decended Symon Jansen Van Arsdalen who emigrated to New Amsterdam in 1653 and located at Flatlands, where he served as a civil magistrate and an elder of the Dutch church; and our records prove him to have been a person of no mean education and influence. He died about 1710, leaving sons Cornelius and John, from whom the entire Van Arsdale family in this country have sprung."

   James Ricker, jr.,'s grandfather, John Van Arsdale, was very prominent as a soldier in the Revolution and on Evacution Day, November 15, 1783, when the British evacuated New York and the American troops re-entered the city, he climbed the greased flagpole and tore down the British colors and rove a new halyard through the pulley so that the American flag could be unfurled over the city. The British had cut the halyard and nailed the Union Jack securely to the top of the pole and then greased the pole a considerable distance from the ground before leaving Bowling Green where the pole stood.

   When the centennial celebration of Evacuation Day was held in New York in 1883 James Ricker, jr., published a pamphlet entitled "Evacuation Day, 1883." On page 24 of this pamphlet Ricker gives a reproduction of the Van Arsdale coat-of-arms. A. Van Doren Honeyman of Plainfield, N. J., in his article, "The Van Arsdale Family-Pluckemin Line," in the April, 1919, number of the Somerset Historical Quarterly, says that it is stated that certain New Jersey members of the family have had a reproduction made by a Plainsfield artist from a copy brought from Holland.

   It is impossible to verify the date of birth and death of Simon Jansen as given by Ricker but he is found on the assessment roll of the section of Long Island known as Amsfortt (later Flatlands) for the years 1675, 1676 and 1683 as per the documentary history of New York. He also was included in the census of Flatlands taken in 1698. When the British required all the Dutch inhabitants to take the oath of allegiance at Flatlands September 26-30, 1687, we find "Simon Janse Van Aerts Daalen, 34 years in the country" (Documentary History of New York). His son Cornelius Simonsen Van Arsdale is registered as a native, John Simonsen, his other son, being too young at that time to be required to take the oath. The number of years in the country as given at the time Simon Jansen Van Arsdale took the oath of allegiance when deducted from 1687 proves Ricker's statement that he emigrated in 1653. The fact that he was magistrate in Flatlands as early as 1661 goes a long way in proving Ricker's statement that he was born as early as 1629, for the office was an important one. He held the same office again in 1686. He was a member of the Flatlands church in 1677 and Ricker states that he was repeatedly chosen as elder in that church.
