Donna, I was looking through some things last night and found an 1850 Davis Co., IA census record listing the Lepper children of Conrad Lepper. They are: William H. born in NY around 1834. Alfred born in NY around 1837. Joseph born in IA around 1843 Royal A. born in IA around 1845. James born in IA around 1849. The last 3 kids were belong to Conrad Lepper and Sarah Barnett Johnson Heady. Conrad shows that he was born in NY around 1803. The Joseph listed above is the same as Joseph M. Lepper that I wrote to you about yesterday. I don't know if he was born in IA or IN. Census could be wrong. I think it is slowly piecing together, yes? Jennie
