| (Johann) Michael KAPP
(Anna) Maria Margaretha FREY |
| Husband: Johann Michael KAPP / KOPF
Birth: 30 Jul 1705?, Bavaria [Germany] Will Signed: 20 Aug 1762 Death (Moravian Church Records): 6 Dec 1762, Heidelberg Twp., Lancaster [now Lebanon] Co., PA Disposition: buried Hebron Moravian Cemetery, Lebanon, Lebanon Co., PA Father appears to be: Johann Georg KAPP, d. bef. 1731/2, Bavaria Mother appears to be: Maria Catharina __?__, d. 1731/2, Bavaria WARNING: One secondary sources disagrees with our subject's parentage. I have not seen the primary records, myself, so I don't know who is correct. This source claims a baptismal record for a son of Simon Peter named Johann Michael who was born 30 Jul 1705. If the baptismal record is correct, the question then becomes whether the Johann Michael who died on 6 Dec 1762 in Lancaster [now Lebanon] Co., PA, is the one born 30 Jul 1705 in Bavaria to Simon Peter, and part of the disagreement seems to arise from a dispute over the tombstone reading. There is a photograph of the stone online, but, as far as I'm concerned, it's illegible. Father appears not to be: Simon
Peter KAPP
