Irma,
Do you have any other information on the PAEPELOW family? My maternal grandmother's maiden name was PAEPLOW and the family was from the island of Ruegen in Pommern. Her parents were Christopher and Marie PAEPLOW. Marie was born in October 1823 but I don't know when Christopher was born. They had five children born on Ruegen: Charles, Johanna, Emma, Frederick and Christopher.
