Sebastian Rapp/Rappe in PA 1850-1880
I'm looking for a connection between Sebastian RAPP(E) and Frederica EBERHAR(D)T. Frederica's son, John Sebastian EBERHART was my G Grandfather.
Sebastian RAPPE and Frederica are found living in the same household in:
1850 Census for Willistown, Chester co., PA
Rappe, Sebastian31Germany (all)
Rappe, Theresa33
Eberhardt, Frederike37
Eberhardt, Caroline1
John Sebastian EBERHART was born a month after the above census was done.
I can't find Frederica in 1860, but Caroline is now living with Sebastian and Theresa/Rose RAPP:
1860 Census for Sheffield, Warren co., PA
Sabastian Rapp41Prussia (all)
Rose Rapp43
Caroline Everhart11
In 1870Fredericka and her son, John Sebastian, are in Glade just a few doors away form Sebastian RAPPE.
1870 Census for Glade, Warren co., PA
Rappe, Sabastian51Prussia (all)
Pappe, Therrsia53
Rappe, Simon24
In 1880 Fredericka, a widow, is living with her son, John Sebastian EBERHART in Glade, Warren co., PA, a few doors away form Sebastian RAPPE and next-door to Henry W. and Eveline GARDNER.
1880 Census for Glade, Warren co., PA
Sebastian Rappe61Germany
Teresa Rappe63
Henry W. and Eveline GARDNER are also my G Grandparents. Their son, Daniel Avery GARDNER, married John Sebastian's daughter, Ora Dineta EBERHART.
Now, back to my question. Does anybody have info on whether Frederica is Sebastian RAPP(E)'s sister.I think it is likely that she named her son after her brother who she was living with at the time of his birth.I have no info on Frederica's spouse.
Thank you,
Harriett
