Hi Fern!
I'm glad that I you were as excited as I was to learn of the burial place for James S.I have just recently gotten this info from Christine Wolf.Have you corresponded with her?(She is a descendant of Montford Elvis, Lorain's brother)I did find the William Knepper and Henriette Hower in the Mormon files.I also found: John Knepper m. 8 Aug 1816 Washington, Maryland, Susanna Davis.Unfortunately, there was no other info.Do you know anything about this John?I see that there is a John Knepper b. abt 1803 Brothers Valley, Somerset, PA to John William Knepper and Elizbeth Lindersmith.I'm assuming this is not the same John as the one who married Susanna Davis in 1816...as he would have been 13 years old!I'm wondering if the 1803 birthdate is incorrect for this John.If this John were born earlier, he could have been the father of James S. Knepper b. 1829.My thought is that he names his son, John Thomas b. 1858.
I have a copy of the discharge papers for James S.It really isn't a good copy.If you have gotten one for yourself, can you tell me where I can write to get one for myself.I'd really like to post that picture on my website.(The copy I have came from Chris Hall.I think she said she got it from you).I'm wondering if we can write for a death certificate for James S. from the Ayers Cemetary in Center Twp., in Hendricks Co, IN.I hear they have the surname listed as Knapper!I will see what I can do, but it may take me a while.Keep in touch.
Leanne
