Marilyn Loop: Christian's "daughter" Grace Felkey is listed in a deed as
Grace Rouse Felkey. [Note: She was apparently born before George in
1790, because of the order in which Christian listed his children in
his will, and back then middle names were not very much in vogue, so
Rouse is probably her maiden name.]

Peggy (Roush) Corbin claims that the John Roush who was born to John Jacob
Roush and Mary Elizabeth or Barbara Elizabeth Wittenmeyer in 1774 died
at age 92 in Liverpool, Perry County, PA. If this is true, then he
cannot be the John Rouse who was the "son" of Christian Loop of
Delaware County, Ohio.

From the Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois, 1908, Vol. II, Schuyler
County:
LOOP, Josiah, - The genealogy of this well-known farmer of Schuyler
County is traced to Germany, whence some of the name crossed the
ocean to America in a very early period of our country's history.
The records show that George Loop removed from Ohio to Indiana and
thence to Illinois, where he died in Clark County. During his
residence in Ohio his son David was born, and from there he
accompanied the family to Indiana, where he met and married Mary
Beach, a native of Pennsylvania. About 1847 they removed from
Indiana to Illinois and settled at Pleasantview, Schuyler County,
where he built his first home in Illinois. While he made farming
his principle occupation, he ... did other work, following for a
time the cooper's trade. The shoes that his children wore were
often of his own workmanship, for he had picked up an excellent
knowledge of the shoemaker's trade. Leaving Pleasantview about
1855, David Loop removed to Missouri and entered government land
in Scotland County, but in 1856 he disposed of the property and
returned to Illinois. Shortly afterward he bought eighty acres
on Section 1, Huntsville Township, Schuyler County, besides
forty acres in Birmingham Township. The land was in its primeval
state of wildness... After building a house he at once began the
arduous task of breaking ground and raising his first crops. The
results were gratifying and he continued on the place until about
1879, at which time he had about 300 acres. During that year he
moved to Carthage, Hancock County, where he bought a house with
four acres of ground. Having sold this place in 1884, he bought
property in Camden village, where he died in 1884, his wife
passing away eleven months later. In the family of David Loop
there were ten children, of whom three sons and two daughters
are now living. One child died in infancy; Samantha died about
1902; George, who was a soldier in Company E, Seventy-eighth
Illinois Infantry, until the close of the Civil War, died about
1903; Amanda is the widow of Nicholas Burwood and resides at
Galesburg, Ill.; John, of Augusta, Hancock County, was a member of
Company E, Fifty-ninth Illinois Infantry, and served from July,
1861, until the close of the war. Next in order of birth was
Josiah, born in Vermillion County, Ind., July 5, 1844. Mary,
Mrs. Robert Redding, is deceased, as is also Caroline, who was
the wife of J. M. Walters, of Keokuk, Iowa. Catherine is the wife
of Rev. Amos Rigney, of the United Brethren Church, and they make
their home in Adair, McDonough County, Ill. ... Upon the migration
of the family to Schulyer County in 1847, Josiah Loop was a child
three years of age... When he was twenty years of age he left home
to give his services to the Union in the Civil War, enlisting
October 24, 1864, in Company F, Forty-third Illinois Infantry, and
remaining with his regiment until he was honorably discharged in
October of 1865... In 1868 he married Miss Lenna, daughter of
John Pierce, and during the same year he and his bride began
housekeeping in Kansas, where he and a brother, John Loop, bought
land in Cherokee County. While making his home there his wife died
in 1873, leaving two sons, Sidney P., now at home, and Charles E.
of Chicago. The year following his wife's death he returned to
Illinois and resumed farming in Schuyler County, where in 1876 he
married Mary E. Milton. Afterward he bought forty acres, to
which he has added 120 acres, making a quarter-section farm located
on Section 12, Huntsville Township. Of his second marriage nine
children were born, namely: William, who died in infancy; John E.,
a farmer in Birmingham Township; Mary Alice, who died at the age
of eighteen; Amanda J. (Mrs. George Myers), of Camden, Schuyler
County; James S., at home; Lulu Belle, who died in infancy;
Benjamin N., at home; Enoch M., who died at two years of age; and
Amos, at home...

Obituary for Mary Frances Loop:
In Memoriam. Mary Frances Loop, eldest daughter of Charles and
Emma Loop, of Camden, Schuyler County, Ill., born Aug. 20th, 1893,
died June 6th, 1905, of cerebral meningitis. She entered school
at eight years of age and her progress was phenominal... She
was a child of great strength and vigor, never sick until her
final illness. Her physician was called on Sunday and she died
the following Tuesday... There never was a funeral in Camden
where mourning was so universal. The graduates of her own class
were pall bearers and school mates and friends almost filled her
grave with floral tributes... The dress she herself helped make
for her commencement exercises became her shroud...
