I found a 1987 letter today I forgot I had on file from Mrs. Doris Yaple Geist, co-author of "Yaple Family in America," to my Dad, Lawerence E. Yeaple. In it she provides some photocopies--from Miss Ann E. Smith's account, "The Yaple Family Record," from 1895...

Background: Adam Yaple (b ca 1754, thought to be born in PA) as his newylywed parents (Philp Henrich Yaple & Maria Barbara Hold) from Saarland, arrived the year before aboard the Edinburgh, in Philadelphia, Sept. 14, 1753. Here is the exceprt from Ann E. Smith's 1895 account:

"...Adam Yaple (Johann Adam Yaple) lived at one time in Pakatakan, Delaware Co., N.Y. but was driven from there by the Indians--or as a member of his family expresses it --"was chased out of Delaware Co. by the Indians" --in common with the rest of his family (see "Early Settlement of Middltown," pp. 5&6) and returned to Ulster Co., N.Y. where he remained, settling in Marbletown Tp. He fought in the Revolution.
"He married Arriaantje Hendrickson...In "History of Ulster Co." Part 11, 189, mention is made of Philip Yaple, Araantje Yaple, Peter Yaple, as owners of real and personal estate in Marbletown in 1811.
"Adam Yaple fought in the Refolution. The Pension Offricer at Washington D.C. supplied me with the following: "The records of this office show that one Adam Yaple served as a private in Cantine's Regiment of tNew York Militia, Revolutionary War. His name appears on a pay roll of Lt. Daniel Frare for services on the frontiers of Ulster Co. in the year 1780 before the 28th, day of April" with remarks: "No. of certificate 37818; Amount 1-8-5- 1-3; date when paid April 29th.""

Follow-up note from Gail: I'm developing a website to eventually post the history items I've been collecting for years PDF files.

Best wishes,
