Andreas Souplis was a Huguenot. He served in the French Army as an officer. He fled to Germany in 1682 because of religious persecution. He married first Anneckie, who is supposed to be the mother of his children. He married second Gertrude Stressinger. Andreas was naturalized on 7-5-1691. He was sheriff of Germantown in 1691 also. <ref> This information on the Souplis/Supplee line was sent to me by Ginger Hoffman, 4/27/96, and came originally from an article entitled: " A Supplee Line of Descent" Pennsylvania German Magazine, January, 1911 - E. Lamar Ross </ref>
The area where Andreas was from became what is known today as Alsace-Lorraine, created by the German Empire in 1871 after it annexed most of Alsace and the Moselle department of Lorraine following its victory in the Franco-Prussian War.
Andreas had five children, as follows in the order of birth: Bartholomew, Margaret, Andrew, Ann, and Jacob. His wife survived him, but we have no record of the time of her death.<ref> http://www.ourfamilyhistories.com/hsdurbin/dur/souplis1.html </ref>
