Albert OP DYCK and Elizabeth had the following children:

i. John OPDYCKE was born in 1710 in Hunterdon Co., New Jersey. He died on August 10, 1777 in Amwell, Hunterdon Co., New Jersey. Occupation Merchant Resided in Old Amwell (now Delaware) Township, Hunterdon County, N.J.; was a farmer, miller, merchant and Justice of the Peace; died 1777. Out of the dim light of early Hunterdon, one figure looms up in many directions. The county records mention him as a voter in 1738, Freeholder in 1750, Justice in 1755 and 1757 to 1768. The drawers of the County Clerk's office at Flemington contain two stately parchments under royal seals " to our trusty and well beloved John Opdycke," and his oaths of allegiance to George III and of his nonbeleif in Papacy, on taking office. The vaults of the Province of West Jersey at Burlington, and of the Secretary of State at Trenton, describe his ownership of four farms; county records connect him with two more; and old trunks probably contain his deeds for others. He was the first son named in the will of his father Albert; and was named after his grandfather (Johannes), as was the custom with the first-born. That he was not his father's executor, and that he alone of all the children received no share of the estate, arose doubtless from his having moved ten miles away, at least 14 years before, from Lawrenceville to Amwell where he was already established and prosperous. He was administrator of the estate of his mother Elizabeth nine years later. His will in 1777, signed with the same signature as his oaths of office, and probated by Governor Livingston, bequeathed slaves to his sons George, Samuel and Thomas, large sums of money to his children and grandchildren, and referred to previous gifts. The inventory shows a larger amount of personal property than almost any other will of its region and time. Thus much on the records.
