I've noticed Deanna giving a middle name of Frances for
John Rape-4 (Gustavus-3,Peter-2,Gustavus-1). My questions is
just what the source is for that middle name? Is there a
document somewhere where his middle name is used?
While I'm at it... Does anyone have anything on Polly Dunn's
parentage?
BTW, thanks for all the well wishes from members of the group
regarding Ashley's birth last week.
For newcomers, I'm Lonnie Chrisman, a software engineer in San

Good morning family!
As per John's request, I'll post my line again and welcome the new
subscribers. We find this list to be informative as well as fun. John
tries to keep us all up to date and also tries to keep our lines figured
out for us. With so many of this line naming their children the same names
sometimes that can be a big job! But he does it, and shares family stories
that are priceless. I've enjoyed all the mailings.

Hello to all Rape cousins,
Sorry of the silence on my part - I have had my nose buried in a very
entertaining story regarding my ancestors on my g-mother's side of our
family.(Calkins, etc.) I accidentally found we had an accused witch in
our midst's 1651 and 1674 - needless to say I had to ferret out the
truth on that and write a short (12 page) story - is very very
fascinating indeed.
We also have a wedding approaching in our family - August 1, my
step-son will be marrying in Vancouver WA. My elev
Dorothy I would like to add my two cents worth to this welcome mat for you.
As you will see in another message I am a granddaughter of Mary R'Mentha Rape
Baker who was a daughter of Henry R. Rape. I look forward to getting to know
you and hope you will share your line with us. I will try to get a report
together and send it for the newest members sometime this week or next. As
John stated I have gone to work and it truly gets in the way of my genealogy
work. This is my true love besides my husband Dave,

John you are right about one thing, I don't have the time I once had for this
great pass time. But making a living is not what one does at this job!! :) I
will start with the oldest of my messages and respond to each one. The first
on is John's introduction of Patti Schuknecht.
Patti welcome to the group. This is a wonderful group which is willing to
share data and help when possible. John V. Reeb is a wonderful guru and helps
us all. He is a blessing to me. I look forward to getting to know you.
Hi
In the Will of Elizabeth Ann Morgan Rape she listed her sons proper names.
Is Jacob Wesley Rape the same as Jake Rape? Is James S. Rape the same as
James Layfette Rape? What name would Noel R.E.S. Rape have been know as?
Another question is was it the custom back them to omit daughters from a
Will? And who were the parents of Mary F. Angel?

Yes, I am very much aware that all RAPES are not REEBS. In my e-mail to Dan
Reeb, I only mentioned one group of RAPES who are not REEBS to make my point.
In fact long before I got involved in searching the REEB surname, I got very
much involved in study of all the various Rapes in records and also by
corresponding with them through the mail etc. In fact the point I have always
tried to get accross to people who I exchange information with, not only Rape
descendants but REEBS is that the family, I

Susanna Rape born 22 Aug.1839 was daughter of William Howard Rape and Capt. B.
F. Richardson. She died 12 May 1897 and was buried in Bethlehem Church
Cemetery. She had nine children. I have some further information on some of
her descendants but would very much welcome exchanging information with any
living descendants, since my efforts in that regard failed in the past.
On Samuel Rape born January 1844 or 1845, he was son of Isaac Stewart Rape and
not closely related to Susanna Rape Richardson. I o
Dear John and Reeb researchers,
I'm checking back in today, a little late as promised. John, Rebecca
and I have made contact last night.
To the rest of you on the list I'm Janet Burks. I lived in Hereford,
TX until 1972 when I graduated from H.S. Then graduated from Texas Tech
University where I met my East Texas husband, Larry. We live in Tyler,
TX and have two children Jody Marie,a Senior at Texas A & M University

Okay, all of you Gustavus Rape descendants, get ready to welcome our newest
subscriber to this list. I believe that Shelly will be able to provide us
with some new information (to us anyway) about her branch of the descendants
of Gustavus Rape. At the expense of redundancy, once again I ask for some self
introductions and welcomes from all of you to Shelly. She has advised me that
she did subscribe to the list, I don't know if rootsweb has added her yet, but
it should be soon anyway.

Hello All,
I thought that since there are many that have joined just since I have
(only about a week) and since when I posted my information I hadn't
actually seen the list yet I'd reintroduce myself and give a bit more
information about my line. One more comment before I get started, I
love this list! Everyone is so friendly and open and acknowledging of
the fact that we are all family no matter how far back your connection
is! It's really great and I think that John has done a fantastic job
with the li
The name Steven J. Rapp of Utah was found in a magazine by my husband. It is
billed as the 'Worlds #1 Knife Publication', the name of the magazine is
"Blade" this is the August 1998 (yes that is what it has on the cover!)
In the article, it is stated that Steve Rapp has made the first metorite knife
ever done. It includes a meteorite damascus blade with a dramatic blood
groove. The blade was forged by Kermit Laurent. The meteorite was supplied
by Eliot Glesser's Hiltary Industries. The handle is whit

While we are on the subject I thought I might add that all RAPES may not be
REEBS. Recently in Millville, New Jersey I found the burial of Thomas E. and
Margaret A. Rape in Holy Cross (Roman Catholic) Cemetery. It had no dates so
having access to the census for Cumberland County, State of New Jersey for the
years 1895 and 1915 I decided to check for them. I found Thomas living with
another family (REDINGTON) in 1915 along with a James Rape. It stated that they
were born in PA. but their parent

Hello to everyone on the Rape Family E-Mail list. My name is Cheron
Gibson-Frazier, but my friends and family call me Cheri, so please do
call me Cheri.
It has taken me a very long time to find the Rape descendants, as I have
been searching for most of a year for a lead on my great-grandmother,
Laura Etta Rape, firstborn daughter of the now-infamous Lorenzo Dow
Rape. I wish my grandmother could know that we have found her mother's
family, she would be so happy for that, however, she passed away in
1983. I
Hi again,
I think (due to the response of wanting the articles) I will put them in
an attachment on my next email to the group - that way anyone who wishes
may look them over. Hopefully one of you can make more sense out of the
Logan article. . . I read it several times and never did figure out if
Logan had a logan or just peter c. had a logan rape - really confusing -
be glad to have some input.
the gus rape story is quite long so be prepared to read for awhile.
The PERSI is an interesting place to look
