The results confirm the relationship between all of the tested descendents of Johannes Lipper(t) first recorded in Colonial Pennsylvania in 1756 as Leber. Subsequently he has been identified as arriving at the Port of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania 29 September 1753 on the ship "Good Hope" from Hamburg as Johan Laper. He was listed immediately before his friend Johann Conrad Kleikam who settled with him near New Holland in Lancaster County. The signatures confirm his actual name was Jeanjaque Lapierre. The passengers on this ship so far identified all originate from the border of the Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel and the Principality of Brunswick-Luneburg between the city of Kassel and the area around Gottingen. Research is ongoing but the origin of Laper/Lapierre has tentatively been identified as Waldensian from the settlements a few miles west of Hannoversch Muenden where the wife of Johann Conrad Kleikam was born as well as the Lutheran faith of Jeanjaque Lapierre. The Waldensian Lapierre family originated with Pierre De Pierre born circa 1639 in Bearn, France on the border with Spain in the Pyrenees. He married Susanna Marghero in 1663 at Torre Pellice in the Principality of Piedmont in northwestern Italy. The surname appears in Italy interchangeably as De Pierre, Della Piera, and Pierra. The couple had one son known as Gioanni Della Piera and Jean Lapierre born circa 1666. He was an exile in Morges in Switzerland on his way to St. Gallen 25 February 1687. He emigrated to Germany between 1687 and 1699. The descendants of Jeanjaque Lapierre are R-DF27 which is identified as the Gascon-Iberia branch. Bearn is in Gascony on the border with Spain (Iberia).
