Loomis>Pope>Duryea: Minga (Pope) (Duryea) Patchin
Dear Duryea Family Researchers,

Dear Loomis Family Researchers,
I am seeking documentation on the siblings and parents of Dr. Alfred Loomis. He apparently had a sister named Mary Avery Loomis who married, as his second wife, John Pope.
My genealogical "targets" are the children of Mary Avery Loomis and John Pope, named John Russell Pope and Minga Pope. Mary Avery (Loomis) Pope's son John was a famous architect during the pre WWII era (he died in 1937), and her daughter was a well-known artist, who married first, Harry H. Duryea, and second Robert H. Patchin, both of whom pre-deceased her; she died in 1957, aged 89.
Both Mary Avery Loomis and John Pope, who lived in New York City (see 1880 US Census for New York City), were respected artists in their own right as well.
Your help will be most gratefully received,
Richard
