Notes

The leading researcher on the Reeb/Rape/Rappe family is John V. Reeb. He is credited with identifying much of the family roots, and continues to research all Reeb families, both ancestry and descendants. He is the author of the excellent book: "Reeb Roots: In Europe and America", compiled by John V. Reeb, edited by Nell Taylor Norvell, Gateway Press Inc., Baltimore, MD, 1994. John V. Reeb can be contacted (and would like to be contacted by Reeb descendants and researchers) at: John V. Reeb email: jvreeb@pacbell.net If you use data from this website that comes from that source, please credit him in your own research or on your own website. ------------------------ !Birth: "Eighteenth Century Emigrants From the Northern Alsace to America" by Annette Kunselman Burgert" Picton Press, Camden Maine, 1992. Pg. 399-401. Taken from the Records of Bischtroff Lutheran KB. Sponsors were Hans Peter Bader, the old church censor, Theobald Stroh from Wiebersweiler, and the Pastor's wife Louisa Salome Houssdorff. !Immigration: Ship "Halifax" in 1752 [Burgert p.401]. Records in the county of Nassau-Saarwerden office for Pisdorf, dated 13 Oct 1758: "son Peter, 33 years old, has moved to Pennsylvania several years ago. One has no news". [Burgert 401] Halifax arrived to Philadelphia on 22 Sept. 1752. In his father's inventory, dated 25 Aug 1748, he is cited as Son Peter, 23 years old, coppersmith, single. Note: Solid evidence does not exist that John Francis Rape(r) was a son. He enlisted from N.C. (name RAPER) and was killed in the war in Sept. 1779. He might not have been a RAPE at all.
