Posted on: Stanislaus County, Ca Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ca/Stanislaus/1204 Surname: Crow, Eastin, South, Ripperdan, Braley ------------------------- I have a Nancy Pritchett who married a Abraham Ripperdan and their children were, John, Susan, Isaac, Fredrick, Joel, Margaret, James, and Nancy. All the men are buried in the Acacia Cem (Masonic) in Modesto, California, and died in the late 1880's and early 1900's. Just looking at the Journal of Isaac Ripperdan July 1870 it looks like they settled on the East side of Modesto by Empire City. The McHenry museum used to sell a book on the Ripperdan family.
