I am interested in the hymns written by Wilhelm Knepper during his stay in Julich Prison. I have a friend who would be able to translate from the German.

Hello, Halens1

My mother was a Knepper and I attended a Knepper reunion in PA about three years ago. There has been a reunion there every year for quite some time. (I don't have the info for the group any more tho my brother may still have it.) Is this the same reunion group? If it is and this is your first time attending, you can get some wonderful information from them on Wilhelm's history and his hymns, including words to Wilhelms's famous hymn about foot washing. One of the attendees had prepared a power point on Wilhelm's history, his imprisonment and immigration to America and settlement in Pennsylvania.

Where and when is your upcoming Knepper reunion? Is it open to all Kneppers?

Email me at jane "at" sff "dot" net for more info.

Jane

I would love to get some copies of some hymns written by Wilhelm Knepper while imprisoned at Julich. It would be fun to share these at our upcoming Knepper Family reunion.

Thanks for the information. My father is actually Paul Louis Knepper and my grandfather is Louis Paul Knepper and grandmother Gladys Reighard. But I'll definitely check out the Cambria County Geneology.

Helly........I hope you have been getting my messages about Mary Knepper SeedMcCoy. I truly would like to know if you have information about her and where she & her second husband went. I know there is a stone for her in the cemetery beside Morris but there is no death date so I assume she is not buried there. If she is I would like to know. Hope to hear from you soon.........Joanne

Re: Pictures of Knepper of Lawrence Co., IL.

JoanneIkeda50 — 2009-07-20 13:21:48Z

Hello.......did May (Mary) Knepper/Seed remarry to a man named McCoy. I saw on Jacob's death record that she was the informant and her name was McCoy.
If so would you please let me know where she moved to, when & where she died and where is she buried. I have been trying to research this for several years.
Can you help me? Regards.........Joanne Ikeda

Re: Pictures of Knepper of Lawrence Co., IL.

JoanneIkeda50 — 2009-07-15 14:14:31Z

Hello Lynne….you and I need to talk. I have tried to find out what happened to Mary Knepper/Seed after her husband Morris Seed died. This is the parents of Robert Seed and he was born in 1916 so this must be your father, correct? Yes, we are connected through the Knepper family. Good!!!
I have the Knepper history on back of course. I believe after Morris died Mary died a man named McCoy, then I lost her.
I hope you can help me with what happened to Mary and your father Robert, then of course your history. This will be very good so get right back to me at my private e-mail.

pricelynne1 — 2009-07-14 23:18:18Z

My paternal grandmother was May (Mary) Knepper Seed. She lived in Lawrence County, in Billett. I don't know much about her family, but I suspect that she could be related to other kneppers in Lawrence Co. I don't have exact dates with me, but my father was born in 1916 so she was likely born in the late 1800's. She married Morris Seed. My father is Robert Knepper Seed.

If it sounds plausible, please let me know. I have more specific info at home.

Thank you,

Lynne (Seed) Price

Re: Ida Knepper

Scottsmommy — 2009-05-08 03:01:31Z

I know you posted this in 1999 so I dont know if my information is of any help but my great grandmother's name was Ida Knepper, she was adopted and did have an older brother that was in that family. I found her in the 1920 Census. I am having trouble finding out her real last name. I hope this helps, it has been a dead end for me so far, if you have figured out anything since that might be able to help me that would be great. Good luck!

I have a couple of the Harry Foreman Books, one of which is the "History of Little Cove". I can maybe look up the information if you give me the precise details. I have the entire 7 book collection which includes all the surrounding areas if you need something from them. I live in the Little Cove. Do you live in the area?

Kittochtinny Papers "Little Cove" by Harry E. Foreman

2006-06-13 20:10:42Z

I have been researching the Knepper genealogy and am trying to find a copy of the Kittochtinny Historical Papers from 1967. There is an account by Harry E. Foreman called "The Story of Little Cove." The Kneppers are included in this text, and I am very interested to read it first-hand. If anyone has a copy or knows where I could get one, please email me!

Re: hymns from Knepper line? (Wilhelm)

2006-06-13 20:03:23Z

Ann or Jill,

I am a Knepper by marriage. My husband has recently begun uncovering his genealogy & found that he, too, is descended from ol' Wilhelm. I am extremely interested in having copies (photocopies or email attachments) of Wilhelm's hymns. I would love to compile a genealogy scrapbook & would very much like to include the hymns.

Also, you may be interested in this site, which details the English words of a 1720 hymn attributed to Wilhelm: http://rockhay.tripod.com/worship/music/howpleasant.htm

Thanks sincerely,

I have 1 John Knepper in my file that could possibly be yours. He was the son of George Knepper and ? Lowry. Since George was born in 1792 he would have been old enough to father John in 1812 or after. You can see my entire Knepper file at http://www.billterrill.com

Alot of Knepper problems

Leoeharrold — 2006-06-14 17:41:21Z

My wife's a Knepper from Altoona, PA and I have most of the book on the Kneppers published back in the late 1890 or early 1900s. It is one confusing list of names, no dates, and very short, unsupported bios on certain members of the Knepper family. It states Haspater was born in Austria, which, if like the rest of the book, is confusing and questionable. As a member of one of the founding families of PA., I am interested to getting some sensible connection between the individuals.

Hi,
My grandfather was born in LaMars, Iowa 1-6-1881-- his name was Phillip Knepper & his brothers were John, Nicholas, Peter and Frank. His father was Frank & his brother was also named Phillip. The family moved to Chicago but I don't know where Phillip moved to unless it was MN or SD. Grandpa's mother was Kate (Katherine) Didier & she was born in Belgium. My mother said some of the relatives moved to SD & MN. Kate's sister, Mary, married John(?) Klein & her sister, Caroline, married Peter Schumer (they moved to MN). They all had lived in Iowa.
Hope you can get something out of this info. Please let me know if I can give you anymore info on the family.
