I have been trying to trace my husband's 4th great grandfather Peter Kappes. About 1800-1820 he was going by the name of Cavis in Gloucester NJ. He is difficult to trace as tax lists only go as far as 1802 for Deptford Twp and there are no census for 1800-1820 for that area. He is listed in tax lists for several years--about 1785-1799 I don't have the exact years in front of me right now. But I found this by doing soundex on a genealogy sight. His name was spelled all different ways including Cabbage. I have a question. Has anyone ever been able to trace where, or to whom, there Hessian was indentured? How did you do that? Is there a list somewhere? Has anyone ever run across Peter in any of the paperwork for any area that the Hessian Prisoners were at? Also has anyone ran across Peter Kappes/Cavis after 1820? (He had a son he named Simon Peter and he went to MI, TN, & died in KY, and his grandson also was named Peter.) But according to family lore our Peter was said to have died 1820 and buried in PA Cemetery. He was said to have married twice, but been buried next to his first wife. There is a record for a Peter Cappas in Swedes Church in PA in 1789, to an Eda Lord. I do not have any idea how to try to trace to see if this is him. In fact his own daughter married a John Lord.
