The Op Dyck Genealogy by Charles Wilson Opdyke takes the family from its Holland roots through to the Finger Lakes of NY. By 1800, most of the families used the spelling Updike. I didn't find Jeremiah Opdyke in the selected pages that I have, but in the large family its possible that some branches retained the old spelling. A little further south in Trumansberg and Ulysses there is a lot of Updike history, including the Old Log Meetinghouse Cemetery located in the Updike Settlement.
