Phillip Klepper - Floyd County, IN

Are you aware that our ancestor Phillip KLEPPER did NOT die in Tennessee?

See:

U.S. Census. Floyd County, Indiana. 1830 M19 # 28 page 350

James Steel - 1 - - 1 - - - 2 - - - 1 - - -
[most likely son of Phillip's brother George KLEPPER, married Hawkins County, Tennessee; Lucille had it wrong. DRO]

Philip Clepper - - - 1 - - - 1 - - 1 1 - - - -
[Andrew WININGER was probably the husband of Phillip KLEPPER's daughter Nancy. I do not know who the younger people are in Phillip's census record. DRO]

You will find the census record for George KLEPPER on page 347. I do not know who all others in his census record might be. One is most likely his son Samuel. George did NOT die in the War of 1812. He was too old to have served. Lucille found 1812 military records for other KLEPPERs, but not for George. He was most likely a year or so younger than Phillip. The K after his name in the old notes that Lucille used was for KLEPPER -- just as Joseph did not have Bach as a middle name; he was a bach. = bachelor = ledig (Ger.).

Circuit Court (Floyd County), Probate Records (Floyd County, Indiana). FHL # 1411897
Probate Order Book Jan 1830 - Feb 1853, pages 86-87, 90, 153.

Yellow Rose Club

Yellow Rose club to donate constitutions to fifth graders

By Submission
Updated: 06.25.09
The Yellow Rose of Texas Republican Women’s Club in Tomball will present area fifth graders a Constitution Packet that will include a pocket-size constitution and United States Declaration of Independence along with question and answer cards during the month of September.

The club project is part of its participation in the Texas Federation of Republican Women’s Constitution Project. This project is in accordance with the federal law that states any institution that accepts federal funds must teach the Constitution to fifth grade students. Therefore, the Yellow Rose club wants to not only encourage, but also, aid the school district in complying with this law. It is the club’s goal to donate to all of the fifth graders in the Tomball Independent School District a pocket size constitution packet.

The Yellow Rose is accepting donations from individual or organizations to help offset the cost of providing these constitution packets. Those who would like to donate to this project, contact Becky Clepper at bclepper72681@aol.com.
