Lepley Family from the 1881 book "History of Knox County, Ohio":
The images below are Joseph and George Lepley-related pages from the 1881 book "History of Knox County, Ohio". I included the information on George Lepley because he is also from Somerset County, Pennsylvania, and his parents were Adam Lepley I and Adam's wife Barbara. Click here for all of the pages in a single 2553 KB PDF.
The Joseph Lepley information reads "LEPLEY, JOSEPH (deceased), was born in Somerset county, Pennsylvania, November 26, 1812, and emigrated to Ohio when a young man, locating in Butler township, where he resided until his death, January 10, 1878. He was married three times--to Catherine Korns, November 26, 1832; to Delilah Beal, May 29, 1836; and to Lydia Mossholder, February 28, 1846. He was the father of eleven children, viz; Joseph R., Elizabeth, Michael, Alonzo, Alpheus, Aaron, Hannah, Malona, Lloyd, Rhodinia, and Thaddeus, all of whom are living except Michael, who died at Chattanooga, Tennessee, April 23, 1864." The 1949 book "The Genealogy of Michael Korns, Sr. of Somerset County, Pennsylvania" by Charles B. Korns indicates that Joseph Lepley married Catherine Korns, daughter of Daniel and Elizabeth (Reiber) Korns of Southampton Township.
