Mary Katherine Sapp was the first child of John Sapp and Isabella Gray. She would have been born in KY, where they lived in 1791. They moved to Clermont Co, OH in 1802, when Mary would have been 11. Christopher Purkheiser's family moved to Clermont Co, OH about 1804. Christopher and Mary were married in Clermont Co, Jan 1812.
In 1815 the Sapps moved to Washington County Indiana, and lived 4 miles west of Salem, in Mill Creek settlement. I suppose Christopher and Mary went too.
In 1833 a terrible cholera epidemic hit Salem. In the space of two weeks, 100 people died. My ancestors John and Isabella Sapp died within an hour of each other, and were buried in the same coffin in the Mill Creek cemetery.
According to my source Mary Katherine died a week before them, probably in the same epidemic.
