Casper Nulph Sr. was born in 1731 in the palatinate, 
Germany.  He came to America with his parents at age six and 
was reared in Northampton County PA and fought in the 
Revolutionary War in the 1st Co. 2nd Bat. of the Northampton 
County Militia commanded by his brother George.  Casper is 
also in the DAR index.  He was married to Phoebe who was 
born in 1733 in Germany.  To this union 18 children were 
born and as of 1837 they had left at least 300 descendents.  
The family went to Luzerne County about 1795 and then went 
to the area that later became Clarion County before settling 
in 1808 on Mahoning Creek near present day Eddyville, Red 
Bank Township, Armstrong County Pa to be near his brother 
Adam.  Casper became a land owner of considerable means and 
was active until within three years of death.  He and Phoebe 
were married for more than 80 years when death took her on 
11 November 1836 at age 103.  Casper followed on 1 Feb. 1837 
at age 106.  Both are buried along with many descendents 
in the Smith Cemetery on the side of a hill near Eddyville.
