His widow survived him, resided near Moravian Church about four miles from Elizabeth town where she died. From Marilyn Loop, originally written by Omer Loop to a Mrs. Mary Loop Schull: Rev. Lewis Loop born in Germany, married Mary Ann [Anna Maria?] Spadi [or Spade] of Germany, died 1798. Mrs. Schul, your great great grandparents came from Nassau Germany and settled in Lebanon County, PA, about 1745. He was a minister in a Dutch Reformed Church. Children of Rev. Lewis and Mary Ann: 1. Philip Loop born in PA. 2. Mary Loop born in PA. 3. Simon Loop born 1766 in PA, married Mary Elizabeth Heck in PA, who was born about 1765 and died March 7, 1837 in Preble Co., Ohio. Simon died March 25, 1832 in Preble Co., Ohio. [Simon and Mary Elizabeth] were the great grandparents of Mary E. Schul. They lived in VA from about 1800 till 1829 (or 1824) moving from Augusta Co., VA, to Preble Co., Ohio. [goes on to list the children and some grandchildren of Simon. See the family group sheet for Simon Loop.] From "Ministers of the Ger. Ref. Congreg. in Pa., Hinke, 1951, 384-388: Ludwig Lupp 1733-1798 ... Many years ago the writer found in possession of the late Rev. U. Henry Heilman of Lebabon a copy of the well-known sermon-book of the famous Dr. Conrad Mel, entitled: Zion's Lehre und Wunder oder Predigten ueber die Sonn-und Fest-taeglichen Evangelia, etc. Cassel, 1752. It was a sermon-book ... of which copies circulated in Pennsylvania. On the inside of the book's cover was the inscription: "The book belongs to me, Ludwig Lupp, in Lebanon." On the fly leaf was the inscription "Ludwig Christian Lupp, of the court parish of Marienberg, township Beilstein, in Nassau-Dietz. This book was bought at Herborn, bound at Dillenburg, ... to be given to Peter Rossler." A third entry reads: "1763, May 12th, ascension day, written by me John Henry Lupp, schoolmaster in the court parish." And finally: "Ludwig Lupp, Lebanon, 1790." From these entries the writer inferred that the book belonged, most likely, to John Henry Lupp, was given by him to Ludwig Christian Lupp (who may have been a brother of Ludwig), and finally reached Ludwig Lupp in Lebanon in 1790... A letter was addressed to the pastor of the Evangelical Church at Marienberg... Shortly afterwards a reply was received, ... Ludwig Lupp was born at Marienberg, in the province of Hesse-Nassau (not far from Coblentz), on January 7, 1733, and was baptized there January 14, 1733. He was the son of John Henry Lupp, schoolmaster. Ludwig Lupp came to Pennsylvania on the ship "Rowand," Arthur Tran, captain, taking the oath of allegiance September 29, 1753. On September 30, 1754, on the ship "Edinburgh," came Henry Lupp, most likely the father of Ludwig [sounds like a wild guess], who brought the sermon-book with him to Pennsylvania. Shortly after his arrival Lupp settled near Strausstown, in what is now Upper Tulpehocken Township, Berks County. Here he was at first the schoolmaster of the parochial school. But, owing to the lack of duly ordained ministers, he gradually assumed all the duties of a pastor... He was one of the numerous independent ministers... as there were not enough ordained ministers to supply all the Reformed congregations. In November, 1772, Lupp transferred his pastoral activity to the neighboring Bern Church, where his handwriting appears in the church record from November 1, 1772 to July 4, 1782, during which time he recorded 115 baptisms. After the latter date he returned to Strausstown for a second pastorate, which extended from May, 1784 to April, 1786... It was from Strausstown that Lupp came to Lebanon, about December, 1786 ... Lupp's charge comprised the following congregations: Lebanon: Blaser's, near Elizabethtown; Maytown; Manheim; and later, from 1791, Rapho - all in Lancaster county. In addition he served Hill Church near Annville, and Swatara (now Jonestown), then in Dauphin County. [There follow passages from the "Hebron Diary" that relate to Ludwig, including:] "1798, June 29th. We heard early this morning that Mr. Lupp had passed away last night. Bro. Schlegel had visited him yesterday. 1798, June 30th, Bro. Fritz attended his funeral, which Mr. Hendel of Tulpehocken conducted before a large audience." The Rev. Henry Wagner, one of his successors... writes: "He was not a man of classical education, and had not been regularly prepared for the ministry; he was, however, a well-read man, and had made himself well acquainted with the Bible... It was his regular custom, in his pastoral visits, wherever he remained over night, to have the neighbors invited, in order to spend the evening with them in prayer and religious conversation..." Mr. Lupp recorded 382 baptisms in the Lebanon record, the last on June 10, 1798. He was buried in graveyard behind the church. The inscription on his tombstone, translated into English, reads: Here sleeps a grey head Ludwig Lupp Minister for 12 years in Lebanon 1733, he was born January 7, 1733 Married 3 times He had 12 children, of whom 5 survive him. He died June 28, 1798 His age 65 years, 5 mos. and 3 weeks. From "Westerwald to America", by Annette Burgert and Hank Jones, Jr.: The records of the Salem Luth. Church in Lebanon, PA, note that "Anna Maria Lupp d. 27 Sept 1794, aged 65-5-3 (note her age is not correct in the burial record). She was b. 5 April 1732, daughter of Johann Georg Sped (Spath) and his wife Eliza Caterina. She married in 1756 Pastor Ludwig Lupp, lived in this marriage 38 years and has 12 children, of whom 5 are living: 2 sons and 3 daughters." 10.
