CHAPTER 9 -- Capt. Peter Loop of Hillsdale, NY
Peter LOOP [notes] [Christian(4), Jacob(3), Sebastian(2), Anthony(1)] of Hillsdale, Columbia County, New York, was born in Langenbach, in the Parish of Marienberg, on December 12, 1732, and was christened soon thereafter on the fourth day of Advent in the same year. He was the son of Christian LOOP and Anna Maria FILGER (or PHILYER). He arrived in New York City with his parents about October 1737. He married three times, but had children only by his first two wives. His first wife, by whom he had seven children, was Cousia SPRINGER. She died between 1769 and 1776. His second wife, by whom he had four children, was Maria BAILEY. She died after 1783. We know nothing more about his first two wives. There is, however, one intriguing record in Trinity Church, New York. Baptized on November 2, 1755, is Maria Bayly, daughter of William Bayly and Deborah Springer. This Maria Bayly would have been 21 when Peter had his first child by his second wife Maria Bailey. Could Peter have married his first wife's niece? His third wife was christened Prudence MOORHOUSE on January 21, 1738 in Saybrook, Connecticut, daughter of Thomas MOORHOUSE and Prudence WRIGHT. She married first Jesse BUSHNELL. She died on October 27, 1828 and is buried beside her husband, Peter LOOP. Peter LOOP's tombstone calls him "Capt. Peter Loop" and claims he was 101 years old in 1824, when he died, placing his birth in 1723. This information is quite simply incorrect. 1723 and 1732 have clearly become confused by someone. As for his military rank, Peter LOOP served in the militia with his brother John in 1767 in Capt. John Hogeboom's Co. In 1770, he is listed as a 1st Lieutenant in Van Rensselaer's Regiment, his residence given as Claverack. It is not clear whether Peter LOOP also served in the American Revolution. He is traditionally identified with the Peter LOOP who was made a Lieutenant in Willet's Regiment in 1782. But the year before, in 1781, Peter LOOP, Jr., is listed as a Lieutenant in the same regiment. And Peter LOOP's son Peter, Jr., was most likely an officer during the Revolution, as after the war he is listed as Capt. Peter Loop, Jr., in the Susquehanna Company Papers. So the father and son may have become confused in family tradition. But it is likely Peter deserved the appellation "Capt." if only for his pre-Revolutionary service. It is not clear exactly what is the birth order of Peter LOOP's children. We believe that the order in which they are listed in his will is probably very close, and it does correspond well with known birthdates. The only real difficultly is with the placement of Mary LOOP, as will be discussed. Henry LOOP is mentioned out of order in the will because he is the executor. The will mentions all his children who are then (1816) living or who had children then living. John is not mentioned at all, which leads us to believe that he did not survive and did not have surviving children. The will was registered October 27, 1824. Here are the bequests:
- Wife Prudence: Whatever she needs while she lives with
son Henry LOOP, or $250 if she stops living with him.
- Children of deceased son Christian LOOP: $100 "to
be equally divided among them"
- Son Peter LOOP, Jr.: $1.50
- Son Martin LOOP: $1.50
- Son David LOOP: $1.50
- Daughter Jenny: $1.50
- Children of daughter Mary VAN DEUSEN: $50 "to be
equally divided among them as they shall severally arrive to the age of
twenty one years" with interest.
- Son Nathaniel LOOP: $1.50
- Son Philyer LOOP: $1.50
- Son Benjamin LOOP: $1.50
- Son Henry LOOP: The residue of the estate.
- All legacies to be distributed to each legatee either 3
months after Peter's death or as they severally reach 21 years of age.
- Executors: son Henry LOOP, wife Prudence and friend

Capt. Peter LOOP and his third wife are buried in the churchyard of the North Hillsdale Methodist Church. Their epitaphs:

Mary LOOP [Peter(5), Christian(4), Jacob(3), Sebastian(2), Anthony(1)], was probably the third child of Peter LOOP and Cousia SPRINGER, though she is listed sixth in order in her father's will, which would place her birth after 1771. She is called Mary VAN DEUSEN in the will. There are christenings listed in Copake, 1784 and 1786, for children of Henry Van Deusen and Mary Loop, one having Peter Loop as sponsor. This has caused people to place her birth as about 1763 (i.e., age 21 when first child born), but this is only speculation. She married Henry VAN DEUSEN. He was born in 1760, the son of Abraham VAN DEUSEN and Eleanor. Mary (Loop) Van Deusen. He apparently died before 1816 leaving children who had not yet reached the age of 21. The known children of Henry VAN DEUSEN and Mary LOOP were:
+
1. Keziah VAN DEUSEN, b. October 28, 1784,
christened at Copake, Columbia County, NY (sponsors Peter LOOP and Lenah

David LOOP [notes] [Peter(5), Christian(4), Jacob(3), Sebastian(2), Anthony(1)], the fifth child of Peter LOOP and Cousia SPRINGER, was christened April 24, 1768 in Claverack, Columbia County, New York. He married Anna DUDLY. She was born about 1777. David and Annie D. Loop apparently continued to reside in Columbia County, and both died there, he on October 29, 1841, she on September 17, 1853. They are buried together in North Hillsdale, Columbia County, New York. The children of David LOOP and his wife Annie DUDLY were:

He apparently abandoned his family or he and Polly divorced. In 1855 he was living alone boarding in Hillsdale, Columbia County, NY, while Polly is living with their sons Napoleon and John in Copake both then and in the 1850 census. He d. December 27, 1858. He is buried in the Methodist Episcopal Churchyard Cemetery, in North Hillsdale, Columbia County, NY. No descendents are mentioned in his will dated November 20, 1858 which lists the residences of his living siblings. Polly d. after 1880 when she is living alone in Copake, Columbia County, NY, at age 86. Peter D. LOOP and Polly Eggleston had children:

John LOOP [Peter(5), Christian(4), Jacob(3), Sebastian(2), Anthony(1)], the sixth child of Peter LOOP and Cousia Springer was christened November 12, 1769, in Claverack, Columbia County, New York. Nothing further is known of him. He is not mentioned in his father's will in 1816, so it is presumed that he died without issue prior to 1816. A John LOUP shows up in Ontario in 1789, but it could be Peter's brother John, born 1737, who also disappears, or it could be some other John altogether.
Jane (Jenny) LOOP [Peter(5), Christian(4), Jacob(3), Sebastian(2), Anthony(1)], was the seventh and last child of Peter LOOP by his first wife Cousia SPRINGER. She is probably the Jane LOOP who, according to ANDRUS family records, was born August 15, 1771 in Hillsdale, married Jonathan ANDRUS in 1786, and died on January 14, 1865. He was born May 8, 1763 and died March 17, 1837, and is buried in Harpur Cemetery, Colesville (south of Harpursville), NY.
