ALPOCK.
Tradition says that three brothers, William, George and Peter Alpock, (Ohlbach, Albach, Alpaugh or Alpock), came from Holland in the year General Washington was born, or 1732. On Rupp's lists we find that in 1734, Sept. 23, there landed at Phila. from the ship Hope, Daniel Peid, Master, Zacharias Ahlbach, John Wilhelm Ahlbach and under 16, Johann Wilhelm, Joh. Gerhard and Johann Peter Ahlbach. These all belonged to a generation before the one to which we have been able to trace the families of that name now in this section.
In 1735 Zacharias and William Alback were occupying parts of the "Society Land" in Hunterdon Co. The three brothers referred to in the tradition, stated above, were probably of the second generation. Repeated inquiries have failed to discover the relationship between the families of German Valley and those at Cokesbury and High Bridge.
