CHAPTER 10 -- Ensign Henry Loop

Henry LOOP [notes] [Christian(4), Jacob(3), Sebastian(2), Anthony(1)] the fifth child of Christian LOOP and Anna Maria FILGER and the first of their children born in America, was born in 1740 in Fishkill, Dutchess County, New York. He later became known as Ensign Henry Loop. There is no hard evidence that Ensign Henry was their son, but there is much convincing circumstantial evidence to that effect. (1) There is no evidence that there was any other LOOP family in the country in 1740. (2) Among his children's names were: Martin, Peter, John, Maria, and Catherine, all names of his aunts and uncles assuming he is Christian's child. His other children were named: Henry, Nelly, Andrew, Joanna, Elizabeth, and Rachel. They were named for himself, his wife, his wife's father, mother, and two sisters. (3) He served in Hogeboom's Company of Militia around 1760 the same company that in 1767 saw a Peter LOOP and John LOOP as enlistees, almost certainly Christian Loop's sons Peter and John. (4) Sponsors at the baptism of one of his children are Jacob HOAGTELING and his wife Jannetje LOOP, Christian Loop's daughter. (5) Capt. Peter Loop, Mary (Loop) Kilmer, Catherine (Loop) Denny, and Henry's wife's parents were all attending the same church at Claverack, NY, at about the time that Henry married. According to the Hogeboom's Company muster record, Henry was born in Fishkill. The parish registers for Fishkill for around that date list no Loop's. Soon after his marriage to Eleanor (Nelly) SHARP (or SCHERP) around 1762, he moved his family north along the Hudson River, eventually settling near Schagticoke. His sister Jannetje (Loop) HOAGTELING came along with her family. They were living at Stillwater, New York in 1777. In 1779, he is listed as a taxpayer in the Cambridge ("district"), Albany County, New York. Jacob HOAGTELING is also on that list. Ensign Henry was a commissioned officer in Col. Van Woert's regiment of Albany County militia, April 4, 1778. He was taken prisoner at the battle of Skenesborough (now Whitehall) March 7, 1780. He was imprisoned at Quebec and released November 24, 1782. He received as pay from the State of New York on July 11, 1785, 301 pounds, 4 shillings, and 10 pence and a piece of pine timber land in "Jessup's Patent". By one report of unknown origin, while in Canada he managed a gentleman's estate at Green Bay, and that when released, his employer gave him six ruffled shirts and a pony to ride home. It is not known where or when he or his wife died. The children of Ensign Henry LOOP and Nelly SHARP were:

Martin LOOP [notes] [Henry(5), Christian(4), Jacob(3), Sebastian(2), Anthony(1)] was the first child of Ensign Henry LOOP and Eleanor (Nelly) SHARP He was born in 1763, and was christened June 4, 1763 at the reformed church in Albany. He married, September 29, 1782, Mary HULL at Schagticoke. She was born about October 27, 1761, based on the age given in her tombstone inscription. Their first two or three children were born in Schagticoke, but sometime between 1784 and 1788 they moved to Washington county, perhaps settling first in Hebron, but ending up in Lake Luzerne (then called Fairfield). Between 1800 and 1810 they moved to Oneida County, NY. Martin died there between the 1810 census in which he is enumerated, and the 1820 census in which "Widow Mary Loope" is censused in Otsego County. According to family tradition he worked as a stone mason on the Erie Canal, which was built between 1817 and 1825. This tradition fits well with his residence in Oneida County. Mary Loop died June 13, 1846, in Otsego, Otsego County, at the home of her son-in-law, Buckingham Fitch, and is buried at the Fitch Cemetery in Fly Creek also know as Fitch Hill Cemetery, Pierstown, Otsego County, New York.

John LOOP [notes] [Henry(5), Christian(4), Johann Jacob LUPP(3), Sebastian(2), Anthony(1)] the fifth child of Ensign Henry LOOP and his wife Nelly SHARP was born on February 27, 1771, and was christened in Schaghticoke, Rensselaer County, New York, August 26, 1771. His family lived in Stillwater, now in Saratoga County, New York, at the time of the second Battle of Saratoga. According to tradition, they were forced to evacuate their farm, and John LOOP, then seven years old, remembered bringing up the rear on the back of an old family horse. He later moved with his parents to Queensbury, Warren County, New York. He married (1), by 1793, Mary (Polly) EGGLESTON. She died near 1800. That year John is censused in Washington county, where their two daughters, Mary, who died young, and Hannah, were probably born. He married (2), before 1809, Avis FISHER. She was born February 1, 1775, according to the age on her tombstone. Family tradition says her family lived 16 miles from the scene of the Battle of Saratoga, and her mother died the day of this battle for lack of medical attention, the surgeons all being busy at the scene of the battle. It is said that she was brought up by her grandfather, John FISHER. She is, however, listed as the daughter of John FISHER, in his will. Family tradition has it that John Loop met with financial reverses and, about 1809, moved his family to German, Chenango County, NY. He is censused there in 1810. According to an account in the Cortland Standard of August 20, 1931:

When the family came to this section they had their belongings in two covered wagons. The first was drawn by horses and in it rode Avis Fisher Loop and her young child, Polly, born May 6, 1810. Polly married Samuel Conger of Freetown. The second wagon hauled by an ox team, was driven by Hannah Loop. After the birth of Avis Loop Wayle, in German, the family came on to Freetown. The first home here was a log cabin, as were all the homes of that date.

John Loop's second wife, Avis, died January 13, 1861, probably in Freetown. John Loop died October 1, 1862, in Freetown, Cortland County, New York. John and Avis are buried together in Loope Cemetery, Freetown Corners, Cortland County, NY. The children of John LOOP and Mary (Polly) EGGLESTON were:

Hannah LOOP [John(6), Henry(5), Christian(4), Johann Jacob LUPP(3), Sebastian(2), Anthony(1)] the second child of John LOOP and Mary (Polly) EGGLESTON was born October 15, 1797. From the August 20, 1931, Cortland Standard, is the following story, related at a Loop family reunion:

The story runs that for a time John Loop [Hannah's father] returned each year to his former home to earn money, which was a scarce commodity in Cortland county then. One time when Hannah had kept the home for weeks alone, late one evening the latch string was pulled and in stalked four huge Indians. In sign language they asked for food and young Hannah built a big fire in the fireplace and prepared a meal for them. That night they slept in a circle on the floor of the cabin. In the morning Hannah prepared them another meal, when they left, leaving her and the home all unharmed, but with a much depleted larder. A kindly and gifted neighbor woman, Mrs. Fuller, taught Hannah all the housewifely arts of the day. At one time, when her parents were absent in the east some months, Hannah spun and wove the material for a new linsey-woolsey suit for her father, and cut and made the garments. When he returned he put the suit on and was greatly pleased with his daughter's industry and ability. He said "Hannah, you have done so well that I now want to do something for you. What can I do to please you?" To this Hannah replied that in his long absence she had become hungry for meat. So he shouldered his gun and went out for a deer, wearing the new suit. He shot a large buck, wounding, but not killing it. The buck charged him, and he dodged behind a small maple tree, grasping the horns of the buck with each hand, with the tree between them. In his dying struggle the deer fought desperately, his tiny sharp hoofs cutting the front of the new suit in many places. Blood poured onto the suit from the deer's wounds and from the cuts in Mr. Loop's face, so that when he reached home with the buck on his shoulder, he was a frightful spectacle. However, the meat was enjoyed and Hannah washed the suit and mended the many holes in it and the incident became a familiar story to later generations.

Hannah LOOP married in 1817 (Judge) Walton SWEETLAND. He was born in Greenville, New London County, Connecticut. The children of (Judge) Walton SWEETLAND and Hannah LOOP were:

+        1.  Rhoda SWEETLAND, b. about 1838, m. (1) Chapin V. PERKINS, by whom she had no children. She m. (2) Ezra Jason WATROUS (his second wife, see Julia SWEETLAND, below). They had a son:

a.    Edgar Perkins WATROUS, b. May 10, 1853. He had a son: Dent P. WATROUS.
