Notes:

Peck writes that "Will Krapf, as a single man, accompanied his older sister, Mary, and her husband when they moved to Texas. Later he was one of the 20,000 who made a run for a homestead in the Cherokee Strip in Oklahoma in 1880. About 1900 he moved with his family to the "boot heel" country of southeast Missouri. He was an overseer for farmers. When his sons were old enough, he rented land for them to farm. He raised cotton and corn on this rich bottom land. He eventually acquired land of his own."
