  Research Notes:

From http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=ladypi&id=I11575&ti=5519 :

from Harold Miller who did the research on Berne, NY area, stated the following in March 2008:
"Continuing my research to answer your questions, I find that Johan Adam Papst, father of Maria Papst, served in Butler's Rangers and was awarded land in the eastern part of Upper Canada according to George Cloakey (gcloak2@tgi.net ) . John Papst, b. 1777, youngest brother of Maria Papst, died in 1869 in Osnabruck, Ontario. Maria's sister Elisabeth, married Gotlieb Otto, a distant cousin of mine, and they too moved to Osnabrouck (spelling?). Another brother, Rudoph Papst moved to Upper Canada. "
-----------------
From George Cloakey 21 Dec 2009:

In the 1851 census John and Elizabeth appear with their son Alfred and a James, 23; Lewis, 3; Catherine, 2; and Infant 1. It seems likely that James was a recording error and it should be Jane--Wyatt, wife of Alfred.
John Popts 75 (b USA) (Would appear to me to be John Papst and Elizabeth McWilliams)
Elizabeth Popts 68 (b CAN)
Alfred Popts 36
James (Jane?) Popts 23
Lewis Popts 3
Catherine Popts 2
Infant Popts 1
