Read your posts from this spring about the NJ Lopers.
I am the gggg grandson of Phebe Loper, but have no information except the following:
She was definately from NJ
Born:1788, NJ
daughter of John Loper
She married Thomas West also from NJ
Died:08-10-1852, Age 64, Union County, IN
A HUGE family descended from this union - I have all the info
I live in Union County with most of the descendants(several hundred).
I am very sure of the above information from several sources, including Phebe's tombstone
Union County is a very small county and seems like everyone is related to everyone else.
I have come across some other Lopers that came to our area and would likely guess they are
some of phebe's family.They are:
Harry C. Loper d8-22-1872
Luella Loper b1859, d1890
L. Loper b1824, d1900
Mary J. Loper, wife of Sylvanus, d8-18-1873, age 35y8m18d
Sylvanus Loper, b3-5-1834, d2-25-1908
Also noticed:
Phoebe Loper Jones b1838, d1907
William Jones d4-18-1872, age 39y
My name is James Jones, but I am not related to the above on the Jones side.
All info taken from tombstones that are in the same cemetary.
So what do you think???
