In the process of trying to find my Samuel Cosper's father, I have collected a lot of information on all the PA & NJ Casper's as they migrated to Ohio and Ill, and Iowa. Would like to share what I have and try to tie in family members of the various generations. Samuel Casper/Cosper b. 13 May 1817 PA, d. 6 Mar 1895 Wapello Co, Iowa. Samuel was married to Susannah Bollinger 13 Jul 1843 in Miami Co, OH. Buried a daughter in Miami Co, OH 1849. Purchased a farm in Wapello Co, Iowa 1853. I do not know names of his sibblings or parents. In the mid 1700's, I have found 4 Casper names- Henrick,John, Peter and Jacob. The Henrick (Kaspar) family migrated to the south and on to Texas, and seems to be well documented. John was in the Revolution War and his children are well documented. Sheila in Alaska has given me the first info on Peter. (Happy to get, btw!) Jacob is the one I have been working on. I have a lot of Census and other info on his family and would be very interested in hearing from anyone working on this line. Jacob Casper died winter of 1821/1822, Venango Co, PA. His children were: Catherine b. c 1775, Margaret b. 14 Jan 1778, John b. 17 Jan 1779, Andrew b. bet 1780-1785, Jacob Jr. b. bet 1782-1788, James b. bet1784-1786, William b. c 1789, Sarah b. c 1790, Isabelle b c1795. My goal is to find my ancestor and hope to get all the families in their individual groups. Need all the help that comes my way. Carolyn Graeser rgraeser@pacifier.com after Oct 1 rgraeser@ctaz.com
