Looking for info for on Joseph Knepper Family ( Wife Mary - maiden name unknown ). Moved to Bearcreek township about 1855 from near Pickaway Co. Ohio. Had 12 children, oldest son's name Joseph served in Civil War, Indiana 7 th Volunteer Cavalry Company E.
Mother ( Mary ) and Father ( Joseph ) both died in 1868.

Just a shot in the dark! Is there any relation to John (Harry or Henry) Knepper, his son (Henry or Harry) John Knepper, Sr., his son (Harry or Henry) John Knepper, Jr., his son Joseph Goetze Knepper, Sr., and son Joseph Goetze Knepper, Jr.? If you think there may be a connection please reply.

I just today found information on my Great, Great Grandfather, Joseph Knepper. I do not know who his father was? (I think now it is also Joseph Knepper and Mary)

Just got information that he was born in 1843 in Piqua County, Ohio in 1843 and he was married to Minerva and they had four children. Not sure how many siblings he had they listed 8 that attended the funeral????

He was a member of the 17th Ind. Cavalry during the Civil War and was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic of this city. (you have it listed as the 7th) I am not sure if the information I found is correct or not? Haven’t had time to investigate yet.

Let me know if this could be the son of the persons you are looking for.

Hi, Just came across your reply to my post. My e-mail address changed so I was not notified... Anyway. Joseph and Mary are the parents of Joseph ( 1 of 12 children), who married Minerva. He fought in the Civil War along with his brother Emanual, who never made it back home. Emanual is buried in the Memphis National Cemeterywhere he died. Joseph Married Minerva Mcleod, sister to 2 brothers he served with in Indiana 7th Cavalry....I have a book called the Indiana 7th Cavalry by Coogley. I has lots of good info!

Hi, nice to find another relative. How can I get a copy of this book and what is the name? I am still trying to locate my Grandmother. She married Kenneth Knepper, brother to Everett, Leslie, Mary, Clifford and Zelda. Her maiden name was Etta Schuetz and I have had no luck locating her. She was born in 1910 in Illinois and they must have been married in approx. 1927. They had two sons, Kenneth Knepper and my father William Knepper.
Thanks for the reply, any information would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to e-mail me directly if you like at badbaker@sisna.com

Hi Jim....Me again. I have contacted so many people. Remind me...are we related? And if so, how? Information is still trickling in from all over. you said you had a book on the 7th calvary? Where could I get a copy? I would love to get my hands on one. I knew nothing of my family a year ago, so this is wonderful. Please feel free to e-mail me directly at badbaker@sisna.com Thanks so much for all of your help.

Maiden name for Mary was Branz. Born around 1822. Joseph's parents were Jacob Knepper(b:1775) and Elizabeth Flick. Jacob's father was Abraham Knepper. Abraham's father was Hanspater Knepper(b:1681) from Austria. NOT Hans Peter Knepper who was decended from Tillman Knepper from Germany.
