I have John being born in Dec. 1847 in Bellamonie, Ireland and Catherine on 4/26/1849 in Londonderry Ireland.I don't know when they were married or when they came to the US.They did live in Philadelphia and had 9 of their 11 children survive: Anna, John, William James, Catherine, Samuel, Elizabeth, Matilda,Mary Jane and David Kappas (my grandfather).The 1900 census material list John's employment as a police officer.John died 5/26/1925 and Catherine died 3/17/1928.Both were buried in Mt. Moriah Cemetary in Philadelphia.Interestingly, Catherine signed her will as Catherine C. Murdock rather than using "H" as her middle initial.
Please let me know how you fit into the family.Thanks
