Women were granted the right to vote only in New Jersey in 1807?

In 1807 women lost the vote in New Jersey. This was done because earlier that year there was an election in Essex County (then comprising what is now Essex and Union counties) to move the location of the county courthouse from Newark to Springfield, shifting the balance of power in the county to the southern towns. The election was covered with fraud. Men dressed up as women to vote twice. Children voted. In order to end this corruption, the legislature revoked the right of women to vote, hoping the narrower requirements would help.

More than a century later, the right to vote was restored to womentwith the passage of Women's Suffrage.
