General Notes: Husband - Jacob Kreps

---

He was brought up to the trade of his father, that of a hatter.
His wife's family resided in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, to which place they had emigrated from Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. The engagement having been made he was necessitated to make a journey of more than three hundred miles to claim and bring back his bride. They remained in Lebanon four or five years, and settled in Greencastle in 1798 or 1799, where he carried on his business for many years, employing a number of hands. He made annual business excursions south to dispose of his surplus stock, many of his acquaintances having settled in that region.
