General Notes: Husband - Michael Kepple

---

He was one of three brothers who came to America from Germany and all settled in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. At the time of his arrival he entered a tract of land from the government, which later was in possession of John Rugh. The Indians were then numerous in that part of the state and were often hostile, so Michael Kepple built on his farm a block house, which was still standing until about 1885. After owning his farm for a number of years, he sold that property and purchased a farm that became the family homestead, and he resided there until his life's labors were ended in death. This farm came into his possession in the latter part of the eighteenth century.
