(Robinson Cem.) in Grayson Co. near the State Park and the stones were broken, but all the markers in their new resting places.Jacob & Eliz. had l0 children and two of them were not known to Ms. Bohaning when she compiled her book.Fredrick Kiper,no dates given, m Elizabeth, no dates, no maiden namestarted to Ky. from Virginia , he was massaacured by Indians & she was scalped but survived and she & her sons came on to Ky.Fredrick was in the service as a Pvt. in Capt. O'Hara's Co.They had 3 sons and mayabe others that Ms. Bohaning says she's been unable to find a connection to.The three known are Henry, believed to be the eldest, Fred and Jacob.Elizabeth later m. a 2nd time to a Mr. Johnson and J.P.McClures papers states that this widow Kiper & Johnson had a son who was "Old Uncle Bib Jim Johnson" who was b. May 3, l8l5.He would be l/2 brother to Henry, FredrickJacob.Some info that is known: a Jacob Kipiper/Kiper of Germany landed in Phila.

Kipers way back but I believe the biggest help you'll find in this material I', sending is in the oldest one or two generations.Good luck on your research and I'd be very glad to hear from you if you do find that connection.Donna
