I am at a very large roadblock in my genealogy work. the following information is all I have. I have the census and marriage record but My John Nappier vanishes. I do know that some point the spelling of the name was changed to Napper.
John T. Nappier born abt 1855 in Kentucky. He married Amanda J. Hunter on 8/14/1875 in Jackson County Indiana. Amanda was the daughter of James Hunter and Susan Stark born abt 1859 in Indiana. She died on 11/30/1898 in Jefferson County Kentuky the spelling of the name by then was Napper.
I have only been able to find John T. Nappier in one census the 1880 Clark County Indiana Census.He is listed as 25 born in Kentucky with his wife Amanda and the following children:
Daisy Nappier born abt 1860 she was two at the time
Minnie Nappier who was five months at the time
They also had the following children:
George D. Napper born 1891 KY died 10/4/1964 Jefferson County KY married Bessie Willard Dorton(this is my great grandparents)
William L. Napper born 1896 KY and died 10/27/1957 Jefferson County Kenucky he married Eckie Dorton (Bessie's sister)
James Oliver Napper born 05/16/1893 KY and died 09/23/1954 Jefferson CO Ky he married Edna Johnson.
I do know that in 1900 The Children are listed as living with Jacob Hunter in Louisville Jefferson CO Ky as Amanda is deceased.
I have not been able to find John in anywhere even with spelling variations. His parents are not listed on his marriage record
