Early Origins of the Pepler familyThe surname Pepler was first found in Shropshire where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor of Peplow, originally pre-Conquest named Papelau, and conjecturally they are descended from the holder of the manor at the time of the taking of the Domesday Book in 1086, Ralph de Mortimer, who held the manor from Earl Roger.

Still, those who made it were rewarded with an opportunity far greater than they had known at home in England. These emigrant families went on to make significant contributions to these emerging colonies in which they settled. Some of the first North American settlers carried this name or one of its variants:
