I am also a descendant of Phillip Klepper.Phillip was the son of Jacob Benjamin and Rebecca (Turney?) Klepper and was born in Pennsylvania.Jacob was born in the Palatinate on April 24, 1741. Rebecca was born Aug 20 1743, not sure where but supposedly married in Penn.
Phillip was married twice, the first wife was Temperance Gilliam and the second was Polly.I have 5 children listed by Temperance but none for Polly.The names I have are Jacob H., John, Rebecca, Frankie, and James.I am a descendant of James. James 2nd wife was Mary Jones (interesting)
I have conflicting information on when Jacob arrived in America and his relation to Johann V. Klepper (b 1714?). I have always been told that Johann V. was the father of Jacob B. but I have also ran into sources that list Jacob and Johann as brothers. I cant find all my notes at the moment but I have seen a ships manifest that puts Johann here in the 1750's. The family may have went form Penn. to Md and Va, then back to Penn.(1791) before settling in Tenn by 1792.
