From The Calvin Families, ..., page 66:

The Opdykes had settled in Western New Jersey in 1697, only 12 years after the founding of nearby Philadelphia by William Penn. They were of Holland Dutch origin, the first of the line to come to America having been one Louris Jansen Opdyck (or Op den Dyck as it had originally been spelled in Holland), who came from his native land to New Netherlands (now New York) some time before the year 1653 when it was still a Dutch colony. It was his son Johannes Opdyke who moved with his family to Western New Jersey in 1697 after New Netherlands Colony was acquired by the British and the name changed to New York. Sarah Opdyke's father, Benjamin Opdyke, was a grandson of Johannes.

By 1653, Louris Op den Dyck was recorded as owning a residence in "Albany"; he bought a lot at Gravesend, Long Island. He was living at Gravesend in 1655 and in New York in 1656-7. His father must have been named Jan, Johan, or Johannes because he always used the name Lauris Jansen. His son, Johannes, and subsequent generations, used the name "Opdycke" or a variant.
