Hi Kathryn, I too am interested in the Boone Co. SAPPs. In particular, I have been looking for the parents of Mathew Sapp b. 1822 in Lincoln Co. MO. married Elizabeth WATTS in 1842 Lincoln Co. MO ( by 1849 they were living in Atlas, Pike Co. IL and lived out the rest of his lives there). Based on proximity and age ranges but mostly on a hunch, I believe that Mathew's father was Noah (as Noah was the only Sapp with a son the right age to be the younger Mathew) and his grandfather was Matthew who moved to MO from KY. I have been unable to locate will/probate info on Matthew, which would help greatly if it listed his heirs (family). According to the information being passed between yourself and Debbie Clark and other misc. tidbits I've received from George Sapp and others, I now think that Matthew and Levi could very possibly be brothers. Your thoughts that Marium was the daughter of Matthew fit with the 1810 KY census re Matthew, assuming that her birth date were around the same time as her husband/cousin John Sapp (b.1804). If the tidbits I have gathered are correct Noah's family would have looked like this in 1840 Boone Co.: Noah b. abt 1790 Kent County, DE ....Nancy (Butler) b. 1797 VA ........Mathew b. 1822 Lincoln Co. MO ........Polly b. 5/18/1826 MO ........unknown daughter ........Mary b. 1829 MO. ........William B. b. 1826 MO ........Newton b. 1839 MO George Sapp is also interested in the Boone Co. Sapps....he has been very helpful to me.....he has a great nack for theorizing.....gathering information and putting it together! He is the one who lead me to Kentucky. If you have any information to help verify or discount or add to the above, I would be delighted to know. Could Levi and Matthew indeed be brothers. Is Noah the son of Matthew? Is Mathew b.1822 the son of Noah? Thanks for your help Melody
