Thank you so much, Jerry for the list of Lape names. Since I do not know the names of any of the younger siblings of Nicholas J. Lape I can't say that there is a match at this time. I am saving your information as a back up. Who knows, perhaps this is the family? For those who might be interested, Nicholas J. Lape and Elizabeth Rogers had the following children. Clarissa b. 1844; Anne B. 1846; Benjamin Franklin b. 1848; Andrew Rogers b. 1850; William Addison b. 1852; John Sprague b. 1854; Nancy Matilda b. 1856; Liddy Elizabeth b. 1858; Sarah Arvella b. 1860, Elonzo Curtis b. 1861. All were born in Ohio except the last child,. Elonzo., who was born in Illinois.I have information on several of these if it would help anyone. thanks all. Bee
