From Carol Valentine's manuscript of Loop History, Chapter LIV: McKean County (Pennsylvania) Loop Families: From the first the McKean County groups of Loops, descendants of Vermont Henry have been connected more or less with the development of that county. This was long before and also after oil was discovered in paying quantities. Here Henry was first censused in 1820. His descendants [say] he first came about 1801, but no record is found to confirm this. Beyond search of known records [some?] have gone direct to the state department at Harrisburg but they report that no early Loop appears in the records for McKean or Lycoming counties, the latter from which McKean was taken in 1804 or North Cumberland [Northumberland?] from which Lycoming was taken. Yet we have census records as early as 1785 to 1810 county of North Cumberland. No good reason appears to show that this group does not come from Christian Christogammo and the tradition that Henry's father bore a queer name seems rather to flatter this placing. [new paragraph] The county history [McKean] states that the Loops and the Hookers were the first pioneers to settle in McKean County and gives the date as near 1808. The Loop brothers are mentioned. Certainly the Loops and the Hookers were there when the township of Ceres covered a large part of the county, then just beginning to be organized, but its census showed only a few names and no Loops in 1810. From all that we can gather from the records and the histories, Henry Loop born close to 1780 settled in Cattaraugus County for a time as he came southward in the Genesee County after living briefly in Vermont. The county history tells us of the [?] oil prospects of numerous Loops but the most that the family knows of its ancestry came from Aunt Betsy Drake, Henry's youngest daughter whose life overlapped that of two or three generations of living Loops. [new paragraph] Betsy Drake's own statement to Loop searchers as far back as 1891 was that her father Henry Loop came from Vermont into Genesee County having lived in Vermont near the North River. That he was of Dutch descent that he married Elizabeth Aldritch and died in 1836 in Chautauqua County. She herself lived at Indian Creek, McKean County PA through her brothers Daniel Loop and the widow of Rodolphus Loop at the time. We were advised that Daniel's grandparents came certainly from Germany, that Daniel's brother Rodolphus was born in Vermont and that Rodolphus went back from McKean County seemingly to Hinsdale, Cattaraugus County, NY whence his widow wrote in 1891... when we find as we do that David Loop, a descendant of Capt. Peter's son of David was also in Cattaraugus County where his son's own descendants yet remain.
