The Yaple Family in America

Philipp Henrich Jäppel (1725-ca. 1783) was born in Dudweiler, Saarland, a son of Wolfgang Christian Jäppel and Anna Apollonia Wilhelm. He married Maria Barbara Hold (1723-ca. 1758), daughter of Johann Kaspar Hold, in 1753. They immigrated to America the same year, settling in Pennsylvania, and Philipp's name was altered to Philip Henry Yaple. They had three children.
