In reply to:
PAUL FAMILY of Miami County Indiana.
9/24/99
I am the g-g-grandson of David Oris Repp and Barbara Ann (Paul)(Terhune) Repp.They were married 21 Mar 1852 in Miami County, Indiana, after Barbara Ann's first husband John Terhune died in 1851.David and Barbara Ann had 6 children, including my great-grandfather, Jacob Oris Repp b. 1866, d. 1948.
I am also trying to identify the parents of both Barbara Ann and David.
My family records indicate that Barbara was born in Greenbrier County, (West) Virginia.The reference to "Scotland" on her death certificate is felt to be an error, introduced by some well-meaning friend or relative at the time of her death because of an assumed connection to Scotland.Perhaps Barbara Ann told stories of a Scottish heritage?
The information about Jonas Paul b. 23 Aug 1825, d. 9 Mar 1899, posted by Robert Hadeen on 8 Dec 1999, is consistent with my information.Jonas is believed to be Barbara Ann's brother, but this cannot be confirmed until their parents are identified.
If you have any further information regarding the parents of David Oris Repp. Barbara Ann Paul, John Terhune or Jonas Paul. I would greatly appreciate hearing from you.
