(Johann) Andreas KAPP
Regina Sophia MÜLLER
WARNING:  I have no proof that our subject is the Andreas KAP who made the crossing in 1732 on the Adventure, but two of his brothers made the crossing that year (and two others in 1737).  The boys were orphaned in Jan 1731/2 when their mother died, their father having pre-deceased her, circumstances which could easily explain the boys' emigration and, in fact, could well have facilitated it by giving them the means to pay their exit fees and passage.  The three eldest sons, including apparently Andrew, made the crossing in 1732, the two youngest sons made the crossing in 1737.

NAMES OF EARLY SETTLERS IN TULPEHOCKEN, BERKS AND LEBANON COUNTIES.

As early as 1723, thirty-three families of Germans, who had come to New York 1710, settled in Schoharie 1713, left there and located on Tulpehocken Creek; among these were...
In 1728, others from Schoharie settled here...
Andreas Kapp...
p. 466 The first settlers in Tulpehocken were Lutherans and German Reformed.  Rev. Tobias Wagner was the first pastor of the Lutheran Congregation.  The following is a List of the members of the Tulpehocken Church, from 1743 to 1746:
Friederick Kapp,
Andreas Kapp...
p. 467 Joh. Martin Cass,
Geo. Vitus Cass,
Joh. Michel Kapp...
"Cass" is obviously a misreading of "Cap."  The five KAPPs in Tulpehocken are considered to be brothers.  The big question is: who is the Andreas KAPP who came through New York?  Some say (see MacKenzie, 1907, below) the Andrew in NY is our subject, but if so, we are wrong about our subject's age and parents.

Deed, 12th September, 1797, by John Tipton and wife Elizabeth to Werner's heirs.  Recorded.
Philip WERNER appears to be the son of Regina Sophia MÜLLER, by her third marriage, to Peter WERNER.  Michael COPP is likely Regina's son by her second marriage, to Andreas KAPP.
