In land document it mentions his wife "Seraha". CHILDREN-SPOUSE: 1789 Tax List--shows John Epley (single) of Manheim Twp, York, Pa. 1790 Census of Manheim Twp, York County, Pennsylvania. 1800 & 1810 Census of Lincoln County, North Carolina. 1840 & 1850 Census of Perry County, Tennessee. In the 1789 Tax List is lists only one John Epley who is a single man. This couldn't be John Epley Sr. because his wife Rosina is still alive. Then on the 1790 Census of Manheim Township, York, Pennsylvania it shows 1 Male over the age of 16 who John Epley, the head of the household, 1 male under the age of 16, and only 1 female who is probably his wife. Now this could either be John Epley Sr. with his wife Rosina, and maybe a grandson?, or it has to be John Epley who is age 25 with a wife and son. They are living next to Matthias Epley and Peter (Hans Peter) Epley. It appears that he might have married in Pennsylvania and then moved to North Carolina with a wife and children, or else he lived with Sarah Barnes until the 1800's when he finally married her. The 1800 census of Lincoln County, North Carolina lists only the heads of households by name. In 1800 John's household consisted of himself, age 26-45, a female age 16-45, and 3 males under age 10 and one female under age 10. In the Lincoln County, North Carolina Bastardy Bonds and Records it states that in the year 1797---the State vs John Aply (John signs in German) on the complaint of Sarah Burns/Barnes. In the year 1800-- (the male's name is left blank on the abstract) on the complaint of Sarah Burns. Apparently John and Sarah probably married around the year 1800 after Sarah Burns/Barnes pushed a complaint in court about a child or children being born out of wedlock. On Dec. 31, 1801 John sells land and on the deed it states his wife is "Seraha" (Sarah). Yet in the Emanuel's Lutheran Church, Lincolnton, N. Carolina it lists a John Apley and wife Sarah_____, had a son Andreas baptized on Oct. 22, 1794; daughter Catharina born Jan. 14 and baptized April 10, 1796. If you look closely at this source, it is a combination of records from Lincoln County. It could be that the mother is not actually named on the church record, but possibly only the father. It would be wonderful if we could look at the actual church records Source book: "German Speaking People West of the Catawba River in N. Carolina 1750-1800" by Lorena S. Eaker. Obviously Sarah could not be the mother of all these children. It would mean that Sarah would start bearing children in 1790 all the way to 1822. That is 32 child bearing years. If Sarah had her first child at age 16 and her last child at age 48 years, then maybe she could be the mother of all these children. The only children that we can PROVE that are John's are Andreas, and Catharina from the Emanuel Lutheran Church records. All the other children are only an educated guess and are NOT PROVEN. The following children: John, Hannah, Christener, and Daniel, were taken from marriage records of Lincoln & Burke counties, N. Carolina. They were the only Epley's unaccounted for after the other Epley names were matched as children of Jacob, Peter, and Daniel the brothers of John Epley. The children: David, Porter, and Peter were added as John's children because they are living next door to John Epley in Perry County, Tenn. They are either children from another marriage (Sarah Barnes would be too old to have these children) or they are John's grandsons. I can't find John Epley on the 1810 Census, but on the 1820 Census of Burke County, North Carolina; John is listed as being age 45 or over, his wife is age 45 or over, and they have 3 males under the age of 10, and 1 male between age 16-26, also 2 females under age 10, 3 females between age 10-16, and 1 females ages 16-26. The 3 little boys under the age of 10 could be David, Porter, and Peter. MILITARY SERVICE: Archive, Service 6, Vol.2 pg. 643, 649, 746, 815. Taken from the pension record of John Epley for service as a guard in the Revolutionary War.
