General Notes: Husband - Solomon G. Krepps


He settled on the east side of the river at Bridgeport, Pennsylvania, as early as 1813, where he built the brick house at the old Krepps' ferry landing, which was later the residence of his nephew, Solomon G. Krepps. He (Solomon G., the elder) was a merchant in Bridgeport in 1816, and for many years was one of the prominent citizens of the borough. In 1832 he, with Zephaniah Carter, built the "Friendship Paper-Mill" at Bridgeport, but died soon after, and before the mill was in successful operation. He served one term in the State Legislature, and was several times elected burgess of Bridgeport, also served as a member of the borough council.
