Jill,
"... Peter and Elizabeth Kepler, came to Northwestern Pennsylvania from Hagerstown, Md., in 1798 and settled in the Wattsburg area of Erie County, then Erie Township of Allegheny County."(Meadville(PA)Tribune)
Their oldest child, Jacob, was born at Hagerstown in 1793.A son, William, followed in 1796. Margaret was born on Mar 17, 1798 and another child was born in 1799. Peter is listed in the 1800 census as being head of household and over 26 but less than 45 yrs. There were two boys and two girls less than ten yrs. in the family. Peter is not mentioned in the 1810 census and is assumed to have died.
The latter information is from The Peter Kepler Family by Roy Kepler.
I hope that provides you with new information.
Bill
