Would like information about Silas Kiper (my great-grandfather), born in 1850 in Kentucky. He had three sons that I know of: James, Herchel, and Charles (my grandfather).

Silas Kiper was born 1Sep1850, the son of William Kiper and Mary Bates.

Silas was the first son of this couple, just under the oldest child, Elizabeth(b.1848). After Silas there was John(1852), Franklin(1855), Cassie Bates and William B.(1859), Loran(1862).

William Kiper was the son of Jacob Kiper and Elizabeth Quick, and had seven other siblings.

Jacob Kiper was the son of Frederick Kiper and Elizabeth ?. This Frederick has been referred to as "George Frederick", though I'm not sure where the George comes from. I, personally, know of him only as Frederick through the census reports, land grants, and family records. Elizabeth was known as 'Eliza', but her surname has not been proven to me.

I hope these tidbits help you in your search. I may have further information to aid you.....

t1283 if you still get this please e-mail me at littleraven7408@yahoo.com. i had the same info on fredrick kiper as you did untill i looked up muster rolls for Capt. James O'Hare's Ind. Co. (according to the 1983 Kiper "red book") there he is listed as Pvt. George Fredrick Kiper. the only Kiper on O'Hare's rolls. the muster roll dates Oct. 1, 1777. he was stationed at Fort Pitt, then Yohogania County, Virginia, now Pittsburg Pa That was the last that I found of him. other than that have you heard the "story" of his move to kentucky?
