This is a very nice site but there are some inaccuracies and discrepancy with other records regarding this family.
Bottenweiler was only a small farm hamlet in the parish of Wildenholz.Wildenholz was the larger village and site of the parish church. Simon Peter Kapp, supposed father of Johann Michael lived in Wildenholz not Bottenweiler. No one living in the village of Wildenholz would have said they were from Bottenweiler. Only folks from Bottenweiler would have made that distinction and Georg Friedrich, Johann Andreas, Georg Veit and Johann Martin Kapp who later were members of the Tulpehocken Lutheran Church in Berks Co. PA were all sons of Johann Georg and Maria Catherina Kapp of Bottenweiler. It could very well be that Johann Michael was another brother in this family and not the Johann Michael son of Simon Peter of Wildenholz. Also Johann Michael Kapp died 6 December 1762, not June 1762 as stated on the website. He could not have died in June 1762 because he wrote his will 20 Aug. 1762.
More research needs to be done in the parish registers of Wildenholz and neigboring villages to clear up some of these questions but the records are not on microfilm in this country as of yet.
