His father was John Wesley Ca(k)nipe he put the k in our name when he came up here from somewhere around Casar, NC. around 1920

John W. Canipe,s father was Michael (miles) Canipe. Michael was married to Elizabeth Smith Canipe on may 15, 1867 and they had
9 children. Michaels father was David Canipe and his mother was named Frances
Micheal Canipe is buried at Mt.Gilead Baptist Church, Burke Co. NC.
I am pretty sure these Canipe's are decendents of Christain Knipe
who came from Germany in Sept.26, 1749. I was told that a Christain Kanipe served in the revolution in Pennsylvania.
Also there was a Christain Knipe Listed in the 1790 cencus of
North Carolina, living in the Salisbury District of Rowan County.
