The 19^th Century Capeharts of Northern Philadelphia

 

Richard L. Tolman, Ph. D.

    For more than two centuries the Gebhardt family were Swiss—living in Rheinfelden in Canton Aargau and then Basel.¹Kephart I; See Kephart, Calvin I. Danish Royal Skioldung Genealogy of Zincke (Zinck, Zinke, Zink, Zingg) and certain Gebhardt (Kephart, Capehart) Families {FHL: Fiche 6018,394, Library of Congress CS71 K384 1950) and NEHGS}; pages relevant to this essay: pp. 13-16 (1950); Note: the LC and NEHGS copies have an appended lineage of the Gebhardts descent from Charlemagne, the FHL copy does not.  This 1950 monograph corrects a number of the errors in the American genealogy of the Gebhardts which were published in an earlier version: Kephart, Calvin National Genealogical Society Quarterly, 31: 53-64 (1942).  Early in the 18^th century Heinrich Gebhardt (b. 1699; hereafter Heinrich1699) and his wife Maria Catharina Andreas of Solothurn left Basel to go up the Rhine valley with a second cousin named Strub; the family settled in Hessen east of Frankfurt am Main in the independent state Hanau-Münzenberg and raised children there; he died there abt 1770.  Heinrich1699 purportedly had six sons²Norman; ‘Toni Norman’s Web Site’: freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~normante/Heinrich_Kephart.htm (accessed 23 Jul 2013); both Kephart I and Kephart II have Heinrich1699 with 4 immigrating sons (omitting Johann Georg and Johann Adam). that came to America; the sons each took a wife if they hadn’t brought one with them and went in their own direction—the oldest Johann Georg (b. 1720) to Berks County, Pennsylvania; the next Johann Adam (b. abt 1724) to Philadelphia Co. (now Montgomery County), Pennsylvania; the third Heinrich (hereafter Heinrich1725) to northern Philadelphia County; the fourth (Hans) Jacob (b. 1727) to the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia; the 5 and 6^th David Andreas (b. 1729) and Nicholas³An excellent manuscript addition to the Walter Downing Kephart history vide supra exists describing descendants of Nicholas Gebhardt of Clearfield County, Pennsylvania:  Pester, Lucille Kephart and Nelson, Leola Kephart  Addendum: Nicholas Gebhardt (1733-1829); manuscript at FHL US/CAN 929,273 K441k supp (1992); these authors also indicate Heinrich1699 had 6 immigrating sons. (b. 1733) to Carroll Co., Maryland and Cumberland Co. (now Clearfield County), Pennsylvania, respectively.  Most of these sons and their children adopted the less-German-sounding name ‘Kephart’.

    The ‘Capehart’ name, a further derivation of ‘Kephart’, was used by a certain few members of the immigrating Gebhardt family—only by Heinrich1725’s younger children and their children (i. e. the children of Andrew and Henry).  In the 19^th century they lived nearly exclusively in the Philadelphia area (per census) and their genealogy is complicated and confused by the fact that they used a very short list of masculine (and feminine) given names.  The primary objective of this essay is to trace all the holders of the name ‘Capehart’ in the Philadelphia area.  All place names in the essay are in Pennsylvania unless otherwise specified.
    The descent of the Kephart I)⁴See reference 1. and the second by a distant relative Walter D. Kephart in 1976 (hereafter Kephart II).⁵See reference 1.  Calvin Ira Kephart (CIK, 1883-1969) was president of the National Genealogical Society (1928-30 and 1938-1940).  He did the bulk of the work in identifying the Gebhardt descendants and possessed voluminous papers and notes at the time of his death.  All of these papers were inherited by his close friend and fellow genealogist Milton Rubincam, who apparently did nothing with them.  When Rubincam died in 1997 the Kephart papers went to the Historical Society of Pennsylvania (HSP).  HSP went through them and made them available to patrons in 2008; this author has been through them as much as one can in two days and made copies of Capehart-relevant material (hereafter Kephart III).⁶Kephart III; Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Collection GSP 001, 13 boxes, 5 linear feet of paper.  Capehart-relevant-material included personal notes, sometimes with markedly different and conflicting versions of the same matter, letters and other correspondence, interviews of living Capeharts (mostly in the Kensington district) made by Mr. Kephart’s hired researcher, Mrs. Gertrude Fryburg of Philadelphia (GF).
    In 1752 Heinrich1699’s sons three and four, (Hans) Jacob and Heinrich Gebhardt (b. 1725), immigrated⁷Strassburger, Ralph Beaver Pennsylvania German Pioneers: A Publication of the Original Lists of Arrivals in the Port of Philadelphia from 1727 to 1808 (Norristown, PA: Pennsylvania German Society, 1934) Vol. 1, p. 485.,⁸Egle, William Henry Names of Foreigners Who Took the Oath of Allegiance to the Province and State of Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania Archives, ser. 2, vol. 17 (Harrisburg, PA: E. K. Meyers, 1890), p. 359. to America arriving in Philadelphia on the St. Andrew on the 23 September.  Heinrich1725 settled in Frankford, north of Philadelphia where he and his sons worked at a gristmill.  Heinrich1725 and his wife (identity unknown) had three children before they left Germany and nine more once they were settled in Frankford.  When British troops occupied Philadelphia in 1777 and took over the mill in Frankford, most of the family retreated to Cumberland County, where sons Andrew and Henry ‘Capehart’ enlisted⁹Dickens, Jane Index to Associators and Militia of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania {Pennsylvania Archives, Fifth Series, Vol. VI} (Westminster, Maryland: Family Line Publications, 1998), p. 15. in the Cumberland militia.
    American descendants of Heinrich Gebhardt (b. 1699) are described by Toni Norman in the downloadable database on her website¹⁰Norman. (hereafter Norman, no updates since 2002).  Although well researched, there are no sources and she has no descendants of Heinrich1725’ sons Andrew and Henry.

Generation A

    1.  Heinrich^A Gebhardt/Kephart (Heinrich^B),¹¹CIK in Kephart III consistently maintains Heinrich1725 used the name Capehart, but this author does not concur.  Through most of the correspondence CIK denies the existence of Heinrich’s son Henry b. 1756; in the latest documents however, I believe CIK acknowledged that there must have been a son Henry who went by the name Capehart. was born in 1725 in Northern Baden near the Odenwald, Germany which bridges the border between Baden and Hessen.  He immigrated to Philadelphia 30 Sep 1754 on the St. Andrew with his wife¹²In the available genealogical literature (family trees) Heinrich’s wife is often listed as ‘Barbara’, but this author can find no source to support this; it may be a transposition error from the fact that Heinrich1725’s gmother was a ‘Barbara’. and three children.  The wife’s name remains unknown.  The family were millers and lived on the Widow Sawyer’s farm in Bristol Township, Philadelphia County until seizure of the gristmill (location still unknown) in 1777 by British troops.¹³Kephart III; from letter (7 Dec 1930) CIK to researcher GF.  In 1777 they retreated to Cumberland County (James Wright was in the group that left).¹⁴Kephart III; from letter (7 Dec 1930) CIK to researcher GF.  In 1790 he was living in Pine Grove Township, Berks (now Schuylkill Co.; ‘Henry Gebhart’, household of 9; same township as brother Adam).¹⁵United States Census Office, 1^st Census, 1790 U. S. Census of Pennsylvania (Spartenburg, SC: Reprint Co. Publishers, 1964), FHL US/CAN 974.8 X2, p. 38.  He died before 24 Sep 1793¹⁶Hess, Robert L. and Wright, F. Edward 18^th Century Records of the German Lutheran Church of Philadelphia (St. Michaels and Zion), Vol. 5: Burials (Lewes, Delaware: Colonial Roots, 2004-2006), p. 1312; she is referred to as ‘Widow Gebhardt’ indicating he had already passed. (date his wife died) with many of his family in the yellow fever epidemic in Philadelphia that killed 5000 in August or early September, 1793 and was buried in St. Michael’s Cemetery (Zion’s Lutheran), Philadelphia, then twice reinterred—now resting in a mass grave in the Philadelphia Memorial Park at Frazer, Chester County.

    Of Heinrich’s male children who had proven issue, the only ones to use the name ‘Capehart’ were Andrew and Henry.

    Known children of Heinrich and Mrs. Gebhardt, were as follows:¹⁷See Kephart I; interestingly, Kephart II omits Heinrich1725’s son Henry (b. 1756) altogether and lists his (Henry’s) dau Elizabeth as offspring of Heinrich1725.  This may satisfy Occam’s razor, but it is clearly not in line with the evidence: (1) ‘Henry Capehart’ was in the Cumberland militia with his older brother Andrew (Heinrich1725 never used the name Capehart); (2) Kephart II has Elizabeth born 1772, but this is an estimated b’date for which there is no hard evidence—in the 1800 census, Elizabeth is newly married but her husband James Merkins does not appear in the census so they were probably living with her father (Henry Capehart household was 10), but only two persons were older than 25 in that household leading one to conclude Elizabeth was younger than 25; Kephart I has her b’date 1778 which would make her mother (Heinrich1725’s wife) abt 51 at the birth; (3) Elizabeth was raised in Bristol, Bucks and married a fellow from the neighborhood (1778 is a better b’year for her)—a Henry Capehart (her father) appears in the 1790 and 1800 censuses of northern Philadelphia County, Heinrich1725 (his father, ‘Henry Gebhart’, was living in Berks County in 1790); he died in 1793 in Philadelphia.

Caleb Armitage’s company (May 24, 1779) and in Capt. George Forepaugh’s Company (Aug 4 and 10, 1780).³⁷Kephart III; ‘Kephart-Capehart Data (typewritten)’, Box 2/2.,³⁸‘Colonial Records of Pennsylvania: Vol. X, Minutes of the Council of Safety of the Province of Pennsylvania’, p. 700, online at Ancestry.com (accessed 1 Mar 2010); ‘George Capehart for 7 days flat hire’ (carting).  Probably one son, died young.³⁹Both Kephart I and Kephart II state he was ‘probably’ married (no source) and Kephart II claims issue, but this author cannot find any evidence.  Both claim he died in the 1793 epidemic, but record (which admittedly has holes) is silent on the subject.  Kephart III also indicates (w/o sources) he was married and had children, one of whom died with George in the yellow fever epidemic; chief reason for believing he was married seems to be the fact that George paid taxes on land in Northern Liberties in 1781-1782 that was owned by a ‘Beckley and Flower’ (from letter 7 Dec 1930, CIK to researcher GF).

11. CIK in Kephart III consistently maintains Heinrich1725 used the name Capehart, but this author does not concur.  Through most of the correspondence CIK denies the existence of Heinrich’s son Henry b. 1756; in the latest documents however, I believe CIK acknowledged that there must have been a son Henry who went by the name Capehart.

12. In the available genealogical literature (family trees) Heinrich’s wife is often listed as ‘Barbara’, but this author can find no source to support this; it may be a transposition error from the fact that Heinrich1725’s gmother was a ‘Barbara’.

17. See Kephart I; interestingly, Kephart II omits Heinrich1725’s son Henry (b. 1756) altogether and lists his (Henry’s) dau Elizabeth as offspring of Heinrich1725.  This may satisfy Occam’s razor, but it is clearly not in line with the evidence: (1) ‘Henry Capehart’ was in the Cumberland militia with his older brother Andrew (Heinrich1725 never used the name Capehart); (2) Kephart II has Elizabeth born 1772, but this is an estimated b’date for which there is no hard evidence—in the 1800 census, Elizabeth is newly married but her husband James Merkins does not appear in the census so they were probably living with her father (Henry Capehart household was 10), but only two persons were older than 25 in that household leading one to conclude Elizabeth was younger than 25; Kephart I has her b’date 1778 which would make her mother (Heinrich1725’s wife) abt 51 at the birth; (3) Elizabeth was raised in Bristol, Bucks and married a fellow from the neighborhood (1778 is a better b’year for her)—a Henry Capehart (her father) appears in the 1790 and 1800 censuses of northern Philadelphia County, Heinrich1725 (his father, ‘Henry Gebhart’, was living in Berks County in 1790); he died in 1793 in Philadelphia.

Both Kephart I and Kephart II state he was ‘probably’ married (no source) and Kephart II claims issue, but this author cannot find any evidence.  Both claim he died in the 1793 epidemic, but record (which admittedly has holes) is silent on the subject.  Kephart III also indicates (w/o sources) he was married and had children, one of whom died with George in the yellow fever epidemic; chief reason for believing he was married seems to be the fact that George paid taxes on land in Northern Liberties in 1781-1782 that was owned by a ‘Beckley and Flower’ (from letter 7 Dec 1930, CIK to researcher GF).

If Wm R. Cornell is a nephew of John/Kate Capehart, then Addie must be a sister to John or Kate.  The ‘Quinn/Woods Family Tree’, owner: RobertAloysiusQuinn, trees.ancestry.com/tree/1825284 (accessed 20 Aug 2013) has her ‘Addie Capehart, b. 1871’, which is late for her to be sib of John, but it is possible.  However in the 1880 Daniel/Mary Ann Capehart family group there is no child of eight by any name.  There is an 8 yr old in Kate E. Simon’s 1880 family group named Georgianna.  Possibly this is ‘Addie’.

There is no Addie/Adeline Capehart or Simon (b. 1872) in the 1880 census other than Adeline Capehart (no. 74), daughter of Charles and Emma Jane (Zelner) Capehart, but we know she married Warner D. Townsend vide supra.
