Hi all,
Looking for ANY information on Sam Roop m. Hattie unknown (1846-1877)... marriage, birth
dates, etc.
Children: Nathan, Lewis, William and Kate
After Hattie's death, Sam married again and had children:
Otis, Andrew, Chanse, Charles and Mary
Kate is Sarah Catherine Roop (m. James P. HOFF), Nathan is Nathaniel Lewis Roop (m.
Harriet E. BUTLER). Lewis is probably Jahue Lewis Roop (m. Martha RUBY). All three are
listed as living with John and Elizabeth (Ruby) Roop in the 1870 census of Willshire Twp,
Van Wert Co, OH. Nathan is only four years old. In the 1860 census, Sarah C (Kate) is
living with John and Elizabeth. She is only three years old.
A cousin has checked the marriage records in Van Wert Co and can't find Sam. Did he
marry Hattie and his second wife in Adams Co? John Roop died in 1900 in Decatur, Adams
Co, IN. Is there an obit or place where I could find a funeral record for John? Anything
that could help me determine why two of Nathan's children listed Sam and Hattie as
their parents, when Nathan, Kate and Lewis were brought up by John Roop?
Another mystery coming soon.
God Bless America!
