Joseph's parents were Peter and Sarah (Berney) Loop of New York and Pennsylvania. Joseph Miller Loop married Jane M. Gardner of Hancock, Berkshire, Massachusetts. Her parents were James and Laura (Hazard) Gardner. They had one daughter, Ada Estella who married Julius F. H. Harrison. There were no children from this marriage. Rosalie Hamilton's group sheet shows the two sets of twins. It also lists James M. Loop, apparently the James L. Loop above. History of Steuben County, NY, by W. W. Clayton, p. 141, Town of Addison: About this period the valley of the Canisteo became the scene of active mercantile and lumbering operations. In 1830, John Loop, Shumway & Glover, Wilcox, Birdsall & Weatherby began at Addison as lumbermen and merchants, and continued till some time in 1832, when John and Peter P. Loop, Caleb Weatherby, and Read A. Williams formed a copartnership, and built a store in the lower part of the village on the north side. They operated largely in both mercantile and lumbering business for about a year, when they made an assignment, and soon after removed from the county... In the spring of 1833 John Loop went down the river with lumber, and left his brother Peter P. Loop who was a man of dissipated habits, in charge of his interests at Addison. On his return he found matters in a very unsatisfactory state, which troubled him exceedingly. He went to what is now Erwin Centre, to see to some lumbering interests there, and from there went up the Clendenny Creek some three miles to a saw-mill. This was about five o'clock P.M., and it was the last that was ever seen of him in this part of the country. A crowd of men turned out and made diligent search for him so long as there was any hope of his discovery; but at last it was given up as fruitless, and the supposition became current that some ruffian had murdered him to obtain possession of the money he had upon his person. A story was told several years after that some on from this section, who had previously known [John] Loop, saw him on the Mississippi River somewhere above New Orleans, and that, in an interview, he explained to the narrator the cause of his sudden disappearence, saying he found himself in Pittsburgh, destitute and almost naked, and being ashamed to meet his old friends, had resolved never to return to Addison. Whether there is any truth in this story or not, it is certain that [John] Loop was very sensitive as to his honor, and possessed in a very high degree the respect and confidence of his fellow-citizens. He was supervisor of the town, and the records made by him while town clerk show a very careful and elegant handwriting. Letter from Theora Loop (Mrs. Edwin A. Loop) to Ross Roby: Boone County history mentions a James Loop (a brother of Hannah Loop Towner) who was a lawyer. He was an early mayor of Rockford, Ill., a law partner of Lathrop - a friend of Abraham Lincoln - tried cases both with and against him. ... Whether he was older or younger than Hannah I don't know. He came to Boone County soon after she did, and was already a lawyer. Ned's father spoke of his great uncle James, so it would seem that he belonged in that family. Letter from Thelma Loxton: Dr. Joseph Miller Loop was born in Elmira, New York during 1814. He remained in the state, following the occupation of store clerk (after arriving at a proper age) until 1833. He went to New Orleans, Louisiana in 1834, to Wisconsin in 1836, to Illinois in 1843, and then to Oakland County, Michigan in 1846. He moved to Port Sanilac in 1852 where he lived for the rest of his life. Dr. Loop graduated from University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 1855. Joseph's parents were Peter and Sarah (Berney) Loop of New York and Pennsylvania. Joseph Miller Loop married Jane M. Gardner of Hancock, Berkshire, Massachusetts. Her parents were James and Laura (Hazard) Gardner. They had one daughter, Ada Estella who married Julius F. H. Harrison. There were no children from this marriage. Wills of Oakland County, Michigan: Laura Gardner lists daughter Maria Loop, 11 NOV 1848, property in Novi. Flyer for the Sanilac Historical Museum: The Loop-Harrison House: The main Museum building is a Victorian home build in 1872 by Dr. Joseph Miller Loop who, with his wife Jane Gardner Loop, settled here in 1852.
