Message Board Post:
I know quite a bit about the Lopossa family in Morgan county. I do not have a Bennie E
born in 1944 BUT I do have a Bennie born in 1900 with a son Kenneth.
Bennie is the son of Charles and Lillie Lopossa (who were 1st cousins).
Charles is a brother to my great grandfather George Washington Lopossa. George moved with
several other Lopossas from Morgan, IN to Springfield, IL area.
Charles and George were 2 of 11 Children born to Jacob and Rebecca (Bevins) Lopossa.
Jacob and Rebecca were married in IN but most likely met in Kentucky. Rebecca is from KY
and Jacob moved in KY with his parents and family for a few years.
Jacob was born in NC or Tennessee, but probably TN since that is were his parents were
married (although they could have gone back to NC.
Jacob's parents were Joseph and Jemima. I found them first in Tennessee where they
bought land and were married.
It is likely that Joseph is from NC and ties into a family that was from Germany and came
to America in the 1700's and lived in Penn. for a while and then came and settled in
NC.
If you have any specific questions or want any copies of documents let me know.
