LEPPER of Muff Parish

I am not related to Leppers but I have some information which may be of interest to you.

John Lepper, Jane, Maria, Sarah (6) and Arthur (3) from Three Trees, Quigley's Point, Co. Donegal sailed on the 'Mary Campbell' to Quebec in 1850.  Could this John be a brother of George?

Thanks, I have seen this information before. There was a brother John but he apparently came to Canada in 1846. He would have been 25 in 1850. But he is listed as single in teh 1851 Canadian census and then married in 1854. The other names are also in my family but I have yet to match them with known members. They must be related with the surname and location ion common but I am not sure how. Thanks.

I have some marriages and deaths of Lepper in the Muff / Upper Moville area, do you wish to have them posted here?

That would be great! Thanks.

I am a Miller family reseracher.  Rev William Majer, recorded in above entry was Rev William Miller Major.  He was Curate of Cumber (1858) and Rector of Moville, Co. Londonderry (1858-1883).  He was Canon of Derry Cathedral and Rural Dean of Moville, Co. Derry. Robert Lepper was the executor of his will.  I am wondering if there is a connection beyond priest and parishioner. William Miller Major was the son of James Major QC and Catherine Miller.  At the time of their marriage in 1821, James Major's address was given as Foyle View, co. Londonderry.  Is Foyle View, a property or a place?

Thnaks. I've seen this information but have yet to reconcile it with other information on the family. It does not quite match. I have several people witrh these names but cannot get it to match... yet. Thanks.

Hello I'm pretty new at this, but I belive I have traced my family back from tristram Lepper to Arthur lepper to James Lepper then another James to William lepper born in 1660. Most of them were born in tree tree Parish. I'm Chris lepper and I'm from Michigan but moved to Arkansas I would like to learn more about my family history if anyone has any info. 

   Hi Chris,   I defended from Paul Lepper who I believe was the first of 9 brothers to come to Canada from Three Trees. Tristram was one of the brothers and I beleave he is buried in St James cemetery in Toronto . I live in Manitoba but visited the cemetery a few years ago and found several of the brothers buried there.
