Loop to Margaret (Loop) Pitman. He first lists the children shown above with dates that in some places differ slightly from other records sent to me by Janet Loop [source?]: In the month of September 1853, in two covered wagons we moved from Preble County, Ohio, to Howard County, Indiana. Elijah Loop was an infant in Mother's arms. The writer of this was seven year old. Though seventy-five years ago every detail in leaving a pleasant home rushes before me. Grandmother's orchard, our dear little schoolmates who bid us good by with tears streaming from our eyes, with words that we were going so far away that we would never see each other again. Our tears seemed to multiply when we landed in the wilderness 1 1/4 miles North of Greentown, Howard county, Indiana. Though many years have passed, I see the two covered wagons moving slowly away as our heart break almost at the parting scene. Our black and white spotted cow, Barney, by ____?____ hitched to the hindmost wagon not acting in a friendly manner rather unwilling to be led like an animal to slaughter. [This?] cow in our young lives had an important part to play in settling and nourishing a large family in a new country. Every morning and evening, Mother would milk Barney, and our chief feed was mush and milk, always for our evening meal. Long years after living in our adopted house mush and milk played a great part in giving us children health and rosy cheeks. Barney lived with us a long time and when she left us by death, great floods of tears flowed from every eye in our large family. She served us well. To Sister Maggie, J.N.L. [I think] Jan 1st, 1928 Biographical and Genealogical History of Cass, Miami, Howard, and Tipton Counties, Indiana, Vol II, 1898, page 707: Joseph Marsh Loop ... Mr. Loop was born October 26, 1818, near Batavia, Clermont County, Ohio, son of Henry and Elizabeth (Marsh) Loop. ... Peter Loop, the grandfather of our subject, was a New Yorker by birth. He was a soldier in the war of 1812, and his remains are buried at Fort Meigs; his age at death was eighty-two years. His children were William, Jacob, Henry, Peter, and Rebecca... Joseph Marsh Loop in his boyhood days received a limited education in the subscription schools of the frontier district in which he lived, and his earliest recollections are of working in the clearing and helping to cultivate the crops. As he grew older he became expert in the use of the ax. There was no one in the whole settlement who could split more rails in a day then he could. He also learned to make half-bushel measures of wood, and at this he worked more or less for forty years. He was married at the age of twenty-two years, in Preble county, Ohio, March 3, 1840, to Miss Margaret Link, who was born March 19, 1819, daughter of John N. and Barbara (Winters) Link. John N. Link was a Virginian by birth, descended from sturdy Dutch forefathers, and he was a pioneer of Preble county, Ohio, settling on one hundred and sixty acres of land near Eaton. Two years after his settlement there he died, leaving his widow with seven small children, all daughters, namely: Betsy, Mary, Kate, Margaret, Eva, Barbara and Anna. Mrs. Link remained on the farm and had it cleared, she and her daughters assisting in the work of both clearing and cultivating, even putting their hands to the plow. Subsequently she married a Mr. Pease, and by him had two children, Elizabeth and Lydia. She lived to the advanced age of eighty-four years, and died on her farm... After marriage Mr. and Mrs. [Joseph Marsh] Loop settled on a tract of seventeen acres of land in Preble county, purchased with money she received as her portion of her father's estate, and there they lived for thirteen years. Their next move was to Howard county, Indiana, when this county was for the most part covered with primitive forest. Selecting a location a mile and a half north of Greentown, Mr. Loop entered eighty acres of government land, from which he cleared the timber and to which he has from time to time added until he now has a fine farm of four hundred acres, under a high state of cultivation and with first-class buildings and other improvements thereon. To Mr. and Mrs. Loop were born the following named children: Henry, James, Nicholas, Margaret, Elijah, Noah, Anna, Frank (died at the age of twenty-five years) and Mahala. They also had one child who died in infancy. For more then half a century this worthy couple have been identified with the United Brethren church. Mr. Loop assisted largely in building the United Brethren house of worship at Greentown and is liberal in his support of the organization. Politically he is a republican. Mr. Loop has many pleasant reminiscences of his pioneer life, and has both an instructive and entertaining way of relating them.
