Origin: Hickenloopers first came to America from Mittleschlechtbach, Germany in October 1754. The ship 'Peggy' on which Andreas Heckenleib arrived in this country sailed from Rotterdam, Holland, thus many think the name is Dutch. I have been told the name means 'hedge-hopper/thief.' I understand there are still Heckenliables in Germany today. Some Heckenliables ventured through eastern Europe and Russia first, before coming to America. When they arrived they called themselves Heckenlively.

Origin: Culver was originally Colver and from England. It is a type of pigeon so the original Colvers were probably keepers of pigeons. Several sources say that all Culvers are descendents of Edward Colver, a Puritan who came to Boston in 1635 on the same boat as Winthrop, later governor of Rhode Island. He married Ann Ellis who was also born in England. Edward helped found Mystic, Conn. and most of the family stayed in that area for several years, eventually migrating throughout the country, but at first to New Jersey, Vermont, New York, Maryland and Pennsylvania. Some researchers feel that some Culvers are descended from Edward's brothers who emigrated to Ireland and then their descendents came to the U.S. Several genealogy books have been written about the Culver family.

Origin: The name, Van Cleve', means, 'from Cleve', a person or family from the duchy of Cleve, formerly a part of the Netherlands, and now a part of Germany (Kleve). Many Dutch families fled to the independent Duchy of Cleve in the 16th century to escape religious persecution. Jan Van Cleef, the original member of the family to emigrate to America (in 1653), was recorded as 'Cleef' because of the Dutch pronunciation of Cleve as 'Cleef or Cliff', and the phonetic spelling by the authorities in America. The Van Cleave name was originally Van Cleve and there is no record as to why or when it was changed.

Origin: The name Stapelton (as it was invariably spelt before Richard the Second?s time) is Anglo-Saxon. It means a 'trading village;' 'stapel,' a pile or heap, denoting a place where goods were collected and stored for sale?Dr. Johnson defines it, a 'mart or emporium'?and 'tun,' an inclosure or town. It was appropriate to a village like Stapelton, conveniently situated for commerce, on the border-line between the two provinces of Deira and Bernicia, at a point where the river was passable. But the term 'stapel,' or 'staple,' has long since lost its former signification. From being first applied to the place where goods were sold, it was next given to the merchandise sold there, and is now usually understood to mean the product for which the place is best known. The 'tun' was surrounded by an earthen mound tipped with a stockade or quickset hedge, with a ditch outside, and each township was thus a ready-made fortress in time of war.
