Loop, a cousin of mine (now of this place) is referred to me. ... I am 67, have one son, he has 5 boys, 2 girls. I have been told that my fathers grandfathers name (Peters father) was Martin, but I don't know that this latter is correct. We infer from Spencer's account book that Martin Loop, with his two little boys (Charles and Peter) and his wife (Susa or Suka) was living in Otsego N.Y. as were also a number of Spencers, Fosters, Fullers, Dwights and others in 1796. In 1817 when our grandparents were married they apparently lived in Masonville [Delaware county, near Chenango county], N.Y. Masonville was also mentioned in 1812. Verona [Oneida county] N.Y. seems to have been the place of residence in 1818. Perinton [?] N.Y. is mentioned Nov. 1822 and in June 23, 1823. In 1827 several families moved to Mina, Chautauqua Co., N.Y. Families of Orange Spencer and Martin Loop were with them. Eliab Skeel was a prominent person in this community. Mina is only a few miles from North East. Martin Loop's son Charles went to Hayfield (near Meadville Pa.) I do not know whether there were any male descendants or not but there might have been as there are Loops in that part of Pa. and in Erie Pa. We are unable to make any guess as to where our great grandfather Martin comes in... 1820 Census of Chenango County, NY, town of Guilford: Peter Loop 1 male 16 to 26 1 person in commerce 1 female 16 to 26 Martin Loop 1 male under 10 1 person in agriculture 1 male 10 to 16 1 male 26 to 45 3 females under 10 1 female 26 to 45 Charles Loop 1 male 16 to 26 [Charles] 1 person in agriculture 2 females 16 to 26 [probably his wife and sister] 1 female 45 or over [probably his mother] 1830 Census of Crawford County, PA, Richmond Twp: Charles Lupe 1 male 5 to 10 [Sylvester] 1 male 20 to 30 [Charles] 2 females under 5 [Mary Ann + Jena] 1 female 5 to 10 [?] 1 female 20 to 30 [Sarah] 1 female 70 to 80 [his mother?] 1840 Census of Crawford County, PA, Athens Twp: Charles Loop 1 male under 5 [Anson] 1 male 10 to 15 [?] 1 male 20 to 30 [Sylvester] 1 male 40 to 50 [Charles] 2 females 5 to 10 [Elizabeth] 2 females 10 to 15 [Mary Ann] 1 female 15 to 20 [Jena] 1 female 30 to 40 [Sarah] 1850 Census of Crawford County, Borough of Meadville: 270 293 John Merritt age 38 teamster 900 born PA Mary A.
