I have not read Millie's Memoirs. Are you a descendant of Millie? I believe that we have been able to secure a little more info about her ancestry. It has been a struggle and much work to bring this particular Hapeman line into the fold. Keeep in touch.

Yes, I am a descendant of Millie's. I helped re-type her memoirs, and my mother's cousin added photos. Feel free to e-mail me
at rkdees@compuserve.com My husband and I went to Wales
and England and did much research. What fun!

I am also a descendant. Martin V.B. Hapeman was my great
grandfather. Email back to exchange information.

Vivian Obern, the daughter of Vaughn Hapeman, the son of Martin Van Buren Hapeman and Emily Webber, has been in touch with me. My maiden name is Hapeman and I'm trying to connect Vivian's family to mine. My father's name is Roy Jr, his father's name is Roy Hapeman Sr, his father's name is Edward Hapeman and his father's name is Jeremiah. I can go back much further with cousins and so on. If you could help me I would appreciate it. You can contact me at donandchristinem@yahoo.com Thanks.

Just to say that the Bisgood family, noted here in james Joseph Bisgood under "Webber" went on and connected with others including Kirwin (from Wicklow /Dublin areas) a family which was in Wicklow under Kurvan in the trials papers ...not noted in this site. Five sons of two Kurvan brothers were executed by the English after the revolution. I understand a memorial to the family and its roots in independant actions (united Irishmen and so on) is in a Wicklow cemetery. Bisgood is a very unusual name, however many now represent it...name with suggested derivations from "Biscuitier" (Biscuit....Biscut...Bisgood)...hugenots fleeing France and living in Dublin eventually becoming catholic and more recently from "Peascod" and its derivations. Families associated with Bisgood for example ae Old (Robin around Manchester), Hooke, Wootten (GF)and Clancy. Any knowledge of Bisgood and Kirwin most gratefully received on goldmort@onthenet.com.au
