Angela;
Some additional info.Epa, Epp, Eppa, Eppy, and Eppie are all short for Epaphroditus (not sure of the spelling).It's a biblical name and the first one I knew of was Epaphroditus LAWSON who was in Lancaster Co, VA: b 1684 d c1722.He was father of Epa LAWSON and also Judith LAWSON who married Francis TIMBERLAKE 1730 Lancaster Co, VA - they had a son named Epaphroditus TIMBERLAKE, but it was their daughter Sarah Lawson TIMBERLAKE who married John HATHAWAY in 1754.He was CAPT in RevWar; they didn't name a son Epa, but their daughter Sarah married William BARTLETT - and one of their children was Eppa, and several grandchildren carried on the name.As you can see, your Eppa's name is deeply rooted in ancestry and history.
