Dated October 9, 1809. Probated Nov. 30, 1809. Mentions: wife Mary 6 sons daughter Polly Loop Excerpt from "Historical Stories about Loop Family", Cortland Standard, 20 AUG 1931: ... Ensign Henry Loop's father, John, is said to have spent his later days in Stone Arabia, or the Mohawk Flats, where many of their name and nationality were, and where others of his descendants came from when they settled in Clay, and Salina, Onondaga county. Ensign Henry Loop is said to have settled for a time in Renssaelaerwyck, a huge area just south of Albany, on the east side of the Hudson, owned by Killian Van Rensselaer, patroon. He had a lease of land here at a rental of one cow per year, for "as long as timber grows or water flows", a typical lease of that day. However, he became dissatisfied and moved to Stillwater, his farm lying so near the scene of the second battle of Saratoga that it had to be evacuated very hurriedly with all sheep, cattle and family belongings on the day of that battle. John Loop, later of Freetown ... was then seven years, eight months of age and to his death distinctly remembered bringing up the rear when the family moved out of this area, on the back of an old family horse. After the battle of Saratoga, Henry Loop settled in the town of Fairfield, Queensbury township, near Lake George, where they remained for 20 or more years. Avis Loop Wayle, who died in 1904 at the age of 92 years, well remembered her grandfather, Ensign Henry Loop, and his visits to his son in Freetown at a very advanced age. He was said to have fought in four wars, including the French and Indian war. He enlisted in 1760, the military records speaking of him at this time as "a blonde lad of 20, from Fishkill." He was captured by the English in the battle of Skenesborough, three years after the battle of Saratoga, and taken as a prisoner to Quebec, being released Nov. 24, 1782. While a prisoner in Canada he acted as superindentent of a gentleman's estate at Green Bay, and was given by his employer a pony to ride home on, when released, also six ruffled shirts. He received as his land bounty grant from the government, a piece of pine timberland in Jessup's Patent. IGI: Polly Loop m. John Miller 30 JUN 1794 in Schuylerville, Saratoga, NY.
