#14 Godfrey Knepper◊ ( Johann Gottfried "Gottfried" Knepper◊ • Clemens Knepper◊ • Hans Peter Knepper◊ • Tilmann Knepper◊ )
Godfrey was born Abt 1762 in Berks Co., Pennsylvania. He died 6 Jul 1837 in Conemaugh, Cambria Co., Pennsylvania. He was buried in Summerhill, Croyle Twp., Cambria Co., Pennsylvania.
A map of original surveys for Brothers Valley Twp., then Bedford Co. and now Somerset Co., Pennsylvania shows four tracts of land owned by Godfrey and William Knepper. Boundaries toward the center are uncertain as the map is cut off there.
The 1786 Pennsylania Census for Brothers Valley shows a Godfred Knepper.
We appear to find Godfrey and his family on the 1810 Federal Census for Cambria, Cambria Co., Pennsylvania and on the 1820 Federal Census and 1830 Federal Census for Summerhill, Cambria Co., Pennsylvania.
