Jannetje Van Reypen Tuers was a patriot during the American Revolutionary War and had a role in confirming information about a British conspiracy with Benedict Arnold to take over West Point.
When Tuers returned to Bergen later that day, she informed her brother Daniel Van Reypen about the conspiracy.

A plaque on the exterior of Hudson Catholic reads: "This marks the site of the home of JANE TUERS, a heroine of the American Revolution" Presented by the Jane Tuers Society C. A. R. 1925".
Streets near Bergen Square bear both the Tuers and Van Reypen family name.
