Rupp who in turn was a grandson of the Adam Rupp you are referring to, Adam Rupp, husband of Rosannah Hartzell, died in 1861 which would indicate that he would not have died in Tennessee in the Civil War. Yes, but did he list what his source was for this conclusion? If it was simply by virtue of his headstone, I'm inclined to disbelieve the book and go with the record stating his death was in Tennessee. The military headstones were notoriously inaccurate at times. Melissa Strobel

I am inclined to believe it is the same Adam Rupp. Since, I have not seen a lot of sources on this, except for the Umbaugh one, and the ones copied to the different sites all reference him. No one seems to have done any additional verification. I have found many times, one source does not make it fact.
