Johannes supported the church with regular contributions through the church's first thirty years.
In 1720, the "List of Contributions to the Tappan Church, 1694 to 1723" included a notation, "Capt. Johannes Blauvelt," in the column where the contributions of "Johannes Ger. Blauvelt" were recorded.
In the thirtieth anniversary year of the Tappan Church, "Johannes Gerritsen Blauvelt" was listed among the
"Persons Holding Sittings in the Tappan Church in 1724." The "Catharina Blauvelt" in the same 1724 list was probably Johannes' wife, or less likely his daughter, Catharina.
Neither his wife nor his daughter were listed in the Roll of Members from the Tappan Church.

Died: Before 29 July 1733
"Catrina Speets, widow of Johannes Blauvelt" was a witness for the baptism of her grandson, Johannes Nagel.
The grandson, Johannes Nagel, was probably named in honor of his recently departed grandfather, Johannes Gerretse Blauvelt.
He probably died early in 1733 or late in 1732 after 28 Oct when "Rynear Kiserick and Roelof Van Houten Commissioners for Orange Town laid out the following road, beginning at the hill and so along by Johannes Devrees house and thence southwesterly and so round as we have laid it out till it comes to the land of Ryner Keyseryck along the west side of his fence and so along to the bridge made by Johannes Gerrits Blauvelt."
