Joris Jansen Rapalje - Alternate pedigree as stated in a 1984 book by Joan McGee

Of course, the largest problem with the McGee tree is that our Joris' father is a "Jan".... not an Abram... If McGee were correct, we;d see more references to a Joris Abramse de Rapalje...

Michael - there's a spurious (deliberate fraud) pedigree for the Rapalje's. I'll dig up the (scathing) deconstruction of it for you. Unfortunately this 1984 book sounds like it's relying on it.

- the 3rd child & fictionally a brother of Joris Jansen was cobbled from the legend of

Antony Jansen “du Turck” van Salee

Which is pretty amazing considering Antony's "other" myths ... Including his African origins, which was known by his contemporaries.

I purchased the Joan McGee book expecting to see that it reflects the spurious work of others. It does.

Yet, Chapter 7 is devoted to one of the Loyalist lines that left NY in the 1780. If anyone is interested in this subject I have just added some profiles.
Abraham A. Rapalje
and his descendants in Canada... such as
Winifred Maria Perley
who lived until 1908.
The author, McGee, writes an interesting book here.

There is also a chapter on an even more prominent Loyalist figure.... a de Peyster:
Arent Schuyler De Peyster, Lieutenant-Colonel
