Biography

Jacob Klepper has German Roots.

The earliest Clepper ancestor to be identified in today’s sources was Jacob Klepper Sr., who was married to Barbara first and then to Rebecca. He was born in 1741 possibly in Germany and later lived in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and finally in Tennessee. Among Jacob’s nine or more children was a son, Augustus Phillip Klepper, who was born circa 1771 probably in Pennsylvania. Augustus was married first to Temperance Gilliam, daughter of John and Mary (Johnson) Gilliam. Among their four children was a son, P. James Klepper, born in 1793 near Nashville, Tennessee. He was married first to Christian A. Collier. Among their 13 children was a son, James Francis Clepper.

Notes

Jacob Klepper is believed to have come to the US on the ship Isaac in 1749. He married in Pennsylvania, then moved to Maryland/Virginia, then back to Pennsylvania, and finally came to Tennessee by the late 1790's. The earliest records found in Tennessee for our Klepper families are those found in Hawkins County. George Klepper, Frederick Klepper, and Peter Klepper paid taxes in Hawkins Co. in 1809. In "Early Tax Records of TN", James Clipper and Samuel Clipper paid taxes in White County, TN in 1811; Frederick Clipper and Philip Clipper in Franklin County, TN in 1812; Jacob Clipper and John Clipper in Washington County, TN in 1819.
