Carolyn, I find it hard to believe that those Bertie County Caspers are not somehow connected to the Rowan County Caspers, but my knowledge of Caspers in general is very spotty. In re your desire to know more about Peter Caspers family...there were a multitude of Peter Caspers who were descended from the Conrad who moved to Rowan County about 1775. I thought I had pegged one Peter Casper family as being one that moved to Union County IL in the early 1800's because some gravestones in the Mt.Pisgah Lutheran Cemetery there seemed to match a Peter Casper's family I had found on the internet in names and dates, but when I mentioned it to an acquaintance, she said that couldn't be, because she is descended from that Peter Casper. The Peter I'm talking about was married to Catherine Frick, and one of the graves was Catherine Casper who was the same age as Catherine Frick. Another grave in that proximity, by the way, was Wiley Casper who was apparently killed in the Civil War on the Northern side. The above mentioned Peter Casper did not have a Wiley, but did have a William. He also had a Simeon, another of the graves in that cemetery. I came across all that while looking for the parents of Julian Casper who married Rufus Miller. They were both from Rowan County, and Julian's grave was near Catherine Casper's grave. You see the problem! The acquaintance mentioned above is Pat Beck, pbbecksalisburync@cbil... (my address book doesn't show the last part, but you will find her in the Casper forum of GenForum). Let me know if you come across something interesting. Dave
