Individual Details

Johannes Kapp

(18 Feb 1704 - 9 Nov 1757)

Johannes Kapp landed in Pennsylvania in 1740 aboard the "Friendship." His wife, Judith Massmuster, and seven of his nine children died at onboard at sea. However, "Find A Grave" listed Johannes and his sons as coming aboard the "Edinburgh" and landing in 1744. I believe the 1740 information is most likely correct based on the year of Judith Massmuster's death.
