Thanks Vince for the information. I usually keep up on all the new STREEPER names added to the web, but haven't for a couple of months. This is taken from a listing of Newspaper Abstracts. The specific newspaper oas Philadelphia Public Ledger, Philadelphia, PA, 1853, April 25. It lists eleven death announcements for that week and before. The one on William STREPER reads: On Friday, 22d inst., Mr. William Streper, aged 63 years, 5 months and 27 days. The relatives and friends of the family are respectfully invited to attend his funeral from his late residence, Vine Street, four dours above Twelfth, northside, this (Monday) afternoon, at 2 o'clock, without further notice. To proceed to the Odd Fellows' Cemetery. I have a list of about 20 William STREEPER/STREPERs in my files. Based on this calculated birth of 26 Oct 1798, I only have one William this death fits. My 4th great-grandparents Henry STREPER and Jane HUGHES had: Henry, born 17 Aug 1777 (family bible) Anna/Nancy, born 1780 (letter from her granddaughter)(1800 census) John, born abt 1782 Hannah, born abt 1784 (1800 census) Rebecca, born abt 1786 William, born abt 1788 If anyone has any further information on this family, or on the above William, please let me know.
