My ggg grandfather, Richard Rappleyea (variation Rapalje) married Alice, whose last name was probably Covenhoven or Conover (variation Kouwenhoven) in Middlesex County NJ, probably in New Brunswick around 1797. Alice was born around 1776, possibly in Bergen, now part of Jersey City, Hudson Coounty NJ. If anyone has any additional information about Alice or Richard, I would be most grateful. Their son, Richard (1814-1884) was born in New Brunswick and died in Jersey City, so there would probably be family connections in both places.
