Deborah,
The Holsapple name rings a bell. Five brothers (Daniel, Jacob,
Frederick, Samuel and Abraham) moved from PA to Montgomery Co., OH (near
Dayton)in the mid to late 1830s and bought farms in the NW townships. Later
they moved to Darke Co., OH. They were Brethren as they were buried in the
Landis Cemtery near Brookville which was served by the Wolf Creek COB which
is no longer in existence. A Dunkard church is close by.

Dear 2Doors,

Do you have any further information on Henry Holsapple, wife or where he
lived?

Thanks so much,
Deborah
