CHAPTER 23 -- Christian Loop of Delaware County, Ohio

Christian LOOP [notes] [ ]. The ancestry of Christian LOOP of Delaware County, Ohio, has not been determined. He does not appear to be the Christian Lupp named in the will (1763) of Gerlach Lupp's son Christian. He is not a son of Ludwig Lupp, Anthony Lupp, Christian Loop of Columbia County, New York, or of Capt. Peter Loop. There are no other known candidates. According to age information on his tombstone he was born about January 23, 1754. There appears to have been a family tradition that he immigrated to America when he was 17 years old, which would have been about 1771. There was a Christian Loop who paid taxes in Augusta Township, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, between 1785 and 1793 and who is listed in the 1790 census with two boys under 16 and three females, presumably a wife and two daughters. There are several Roush families also living in Northumberland county at the time. Christian Loop may have "adopted" some Roush children: John Roush is listed as a "son" in Christian's will, but apparently he is married to Christian's daughter Elizabeth, and therefore a son-in-law; Grace, listed as "Grace Rouse Felkey" in a deed, could have been born Grace Roush, or Grace Roush Loop; and possibly a male whose first name is unknown, the father of Christian's granddaughter Catherine.  It is possible that Christian married a widow with children by her first husband. There is a George Roush and wife Catherine in Westmoreland County in 1781 baptizing a child Hanna. Christian Loop had son George W. Loop, born about 1790 in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. As he also had a granddaughter Catherine Roush, this George and Catherine Roush are likely candidates for the parents of Christian's "adopted" children. Between 1798 and 1804, John Roush with his wife Elizabeth, and Martin Roush (probably John's brother) with his wife Elizabeth Dietz, were members of the Reformed Church at Mt. Pleasant, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. There they are sponsors for each other's children. Christian Loop, John Roush and John's wife Elizabeth show up in Delaware County, Ohio, in 1810. Martin Roush stayed in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, until at least 1814 and then moved to Stark County, Ohio, before 1820. In 1821, Christian Loop sold 50 acres near Sunbury, Delaware County, Ohio, to a Stephen Moore, who took a mortgage from Christian's son George Loop to buy the land. Christian Loop left a will dated September 20, 1826 and died three days later. In his will he split up his farm, giving his son John Roush, granddaughter Catherine Roush, and daughter Grace Felkey each 30 acres and giving his son George Loop the remaining 16 acres. Catherine also received a two year old heifer, and Grace received an iron pot. Christian LOOP d. September 23, 1826 and is buried in the Berkshire Town Cemetery, Sunbury, Delaware County, OH.  His grave is listed in "Graves of Revolutionary Patriots" by Patricia Law Hatcher. Vol. 3 L-R. 1988, page 31. The children of Christian LOOP were:

George W. LOOP [notes] [Christian(1)] was born about 1790 in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, according to census records. He came with his family to Delaware County, Ohio, by 1810. He married (1) 1811 a woman whose last name was HARPER. She bore three children and died sometime between 1817 and 1822. He married (2) Nancy Ann, surname unknown, July 3, 1822, in Delaware County, Ohio. She was born about 1802 in New York State. In 1828, George LOOP and Nancy indentured Elizabeth LETT, a five year old girl to be their servant for 12 years. If she actually did come to work for them she apparently did not live with them, as she is not enumerated with them in the 1830 or 1840 census. Between 1845 and 1850 George Loop moved his family to Edgar County, Illinois. During the Civil War three of his sons and two of his grandsons fought on the Union side. Two sons and one grandson did not return. George Loop died August 6, 1868. In December of that year, his widow Nancy Ann applied for a pension from the government on the grounds that their son Henry, who was killed at Stone River, Tennessee, had been their sole support for over five years prior to enlisting in 1862. She claimed she owned only one bed, one clock and twenty dollars and had no home. The children of George W. LOOP and his first wife, nee HARPER, were:

John LOOP [notes] [George W.(2), Christian(1)] the first child of George W. LOOP and his first wife, was born May 22, 1811, in Delaware County, OH. As a young man he left home with his brother David and settled in Vermillion County, Indiana. There he married Margaret (Peggy) BAIRD, September 26, 1836, the same year his brother David married Peggy's sister Mary (Polly) BAIRD. She was the daughter of John and Mary BAIRD (or BEARD), born in 1818 in Brown County, Ohio. Between 1846 and 1849 John and Peggy moved to Edgar County, Illinois. She died there about 1851. He married his second wife, Rhoda NUCKLES, before 1854. She was born August 28, 1832 in Indiana. According to a great-grandson John Loop could not read or write, but was very smart and could figure things out in his head. Rhoda Loop was very short and very friendly. They built a log barn first and lived in it until they could finish building a log house.  Called "strongest man in Illinois".  Was an expert shot with a muzzle loading Kentucky rifle.  John Loop filed for a father's pension in 1890, presumably claiming that his son David had been his family's primary support prior to his death in the war.  John Loop died May 27, 1903, in Metcalf, Edgar County, Illinois, of "senile debility." His obituary said he was a retired farmer and the father of 16 children by two wives, and that three children by his first marriage and ten by his second marriage survived him.  In his will he left one dollar each to "my oldest son" George Loop (i.e., oldest surviving son), Nancy Beard, Daniel Loop, Mary Ann Colston, and Alexander B. Loop. The rest he left to his wife. He named son William H. Loop as his executor. Rhoda LOOP was living with daughter Rhoda MANKINS in Young America, Edgar County, Illinois, in 1910. She died January 4, 1918, at Chrisman, Edgar County, Illinois.  John and Rhoda are buried at Cherry Point Cemetery, West of Chrisman, Edgar County, Illinois.
