| Personal Notes: |
The family of George (Joris) Janssen de Rappalje and Cathylyn Trico arrived in America aboard the ship Unity that was under the command of the Dutch explorer Cornelious Mayes. They sailed up the Hudson river and dropped a party off at what is now Kingston, NY. The Raples and their party were dropped off at Fort Orange in the area now known as Albany.
In 1662 the British took over New Amsterdam and renamed it New York. The family changed their named to Rapalje or Rapallye, which eventually became Raple.
Joris Janssen de Rapallje was descended from Colonel Gaspard Colet de Rapallje, cousin of Admiral Gaspard Coligny II , leader of the French Protestants.
Nearly opposite New Amsterdam a little east of lands at the present occupied by the City of Brooklyn, and near the navy yard, is a small bay or cove known as Waale-Bought. On the point of land formed by this cove, and which lies the west of it was built the first house on Long Island inhabited by Joris Hansen de Rapalje, one of the first white settlers on the island; and in which the first child of European parentage in the state was born. Her name was Sarah Rapalje. It is a tradition of the family that Joris brought from Holland 1500 guilders in money, a no trifling sum in those days.
The house was made of logs in the usual primitive style, a story and a half high, with one room on the ground floor, appropriated as parlor, Kitchen and bedroom. The bed was screened by a curtain during the day. The room had an old-fashioned fireplace, with out jams, familiarly called a Dutch-back. On one side was a small shelf where articles of food were deposited and kept warm.
