My name is John Fieser (JohnFieser@aol.com), and I have a connection to the Ceperlys. Information I have back to the early 1800s is that my g-g-g-grandfather, Cornelius Ceperly, was born in 1839. He had a sister named Clara born in 1838. Their mother was named Dolly, born around 1793-94, and their father may have been Barnard Ceperly, but I'm not sure. I am collecting information from Cornelius to the present, but info prior to Cornelius from New York may prove more of a challenge for me, since I'm in the Chicago area. He moved to Chicago with his mother and possibly some other siblings in the mid-1800s, but I believe that some siblings remained in New York. So, what do you have on Ceperlys in the early 1800s?
