He was one of the earliest settlers there, the cornerstone of his house having been laid in November 1754, and he served the community as a miller. His first wife was <A HREF="schor.html">Margaretha Schor</A>, who died after the birth of a daughter in 1777. The Moravian diaries report that the newborn "Little Magdalena Kapp, poor motherless baby, was today given to Sister Barbara Schor; the departed Sister Kapp had asked this of her." Barbara Schor is presumably Margaretha's sister-in-law, but which one? Two of her brothers, Friedrich and Heinrich Schor, both had wives named Barbara. <P> The Moravian diaries in 1778 called attention to the plight of Johann Jacob, a widower with four small children, and little help either in running the mill or his household, and recommended that he marry again. Three different women were suggested by the church leaders as possible wives, but all declined the proposal. The fourth, Elisabeth Everit, accepted, and they were married in May 1779. She died in 1782, and he married again, this time to <A HREF="dull.html">Louisa Dull</A>. Johann Jacob died in 1807; Louisa survived him, and lived until 1841. <P> <HR> <H4>Second Generation</H4> Children of Johann Jacob Kapp and Margaretha Schor<BR> John Jacob Kapp (b. & d. 1766)<BR> Joseph Friedrich Kapp (1767-?) </B>[date corrected 11/3/00]<B> m. <A HREF="feiser.html">Barbara Feiser</A><BR> Anna Maria Kapp (1771-1839) m. <a href="hauser.html">Johann Heinrich Hauser</A> (1770-1832)<BR> Heinrich Kapp (1773-?) m. 1) <A HREF="leinbach.html">Maria Johanna Leinbach</A> (1771-1797), 2) Salome Beck, d/o Johann Martin Beck and Maria Catherine Gibler<BR> Maria Magdalena Kapp (1777-?)<P> Children of Johann Jacob Kapp and 2) Elizabeth Everitt<BR> Christina Kapp (died as a child)<P> Children of Johann Jacob Kapp and 3) Louisa Dull<BR> Louisa Elizabeth Kapp (known as "Little Louisa")<BR> John Jacob Kapp (1784-?)<P> <HR> <H4>Third Generation</H4> Probable child of Heinrich Kapp and 1) Maria Johanna Leinbach<BR> Christine Kapp m. <A HREF="seiz.html">Johann Franz Seiz</A> (1791-aft. 1870)<P> Children of Heinrich Kapp and 2) Salome Beck<BR> Maria Kapp (1799-?), may have died young<BR> Henry Kapp (1800-?)<BR> John M.
