• Name	COUWENHOVEN, Jan
  Birth	9 Apr 1681	Flatlands, Kings Long Island, NY   [2]
  Gender	Male
  Also Known As	John Covenhoven
  Death	29 Dec 1756	Wickatunk, NJ   [2]
  Notes	From Beekman's "Early Dutch Settlers of Monmouth County": During his long life of nearly four score and ten years he lived in peace with all men and was respected by everybody for his integrity. His name is mentioned in a case decided by the supreme court of New Jersey back in the year 1825. This decision is found in Third Halstead, New Jersey Reports, pages 90 to 116. His name is brought in through his marriage in the Lyall family and in a brief account of this family and some of their connections. It seems to have been an important case, for the decision fills thirty-six solid pages of this book. Four of the greatest lawyers of that day in New Jersey appear for the parties. Robert Stockton and George Wood for the plaintiff, and Garret D. Wall and L.H. Stockton for the defendant. George Wood subsequently obtained a national reputation as a lawyer.
