Joseph D KAUP [19 Jan 1824-8 Feb 1903] is believed to be a son of Jacob KAUP and Elizabeth, [thought to be a daughter of William and Rebecca Bossert DORNBACH]. Jacob is likely a son of Christian KAUP [d1805 Brunswick Twp.] and Catherine, and a grandson of Christian and Barbara KAUP. Jacob and Elizabeth had children baptized at Friedens Little Schuylkill and Zion Red Church. When Pastor Daniel Schumacher prepared a fraktur commemorating the baptism of Christian KAUP [b1775] he used the spelling KAUPP. Pastor Schumacher baptised, confirmed and probably officiated at marriages of three generations of Christian and Barbara KAUP's family. KAUPP is the same spelling used in the signature of immigrant Christian KAUPP who arrived aboard ship Snow Fox, 12 Oct 1738, and is believed to be the Christian KAUPT who was on the building committee of St Paul {Blue] Church, where Christian and Barbara are on communicant lists and where some of their children were baptized. Records of that church are variously translated and interpreted/transcribed as KAUP/B and RAUP/B. It is possible that both RAUP and KAUP families attended that church. The Schumacher fraktur is in the possession of the New York Historic Society. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
