Hupp Families of unknown connections:

John Hupp of Rockingham County

Samuel R. Hupp

St. Clair Hupp

The records of Rockingham County have not yielded good results

regarding family reconstruction as have the Shenandoah County records.

In Shenandoah County, wills and deeds gave the names of children and

parents, and often told which county and state a person moved to. Also,

even marriage records told father's names even of grooms sometimes,

(compared to Pleasants County, WV, which did not record the names of

parents until the 1960's).

Attempts to find similar information in Rockingham County was

futile. It has gotten so that when I find a Hupp somewhere out west

who was born in Virginia and I do not have his name in my lists, I

figure he was probably from Rockingham County.

John Hupp of Rockingham County

John Hupp married Catherine Stoutemeyer in 1803 (the record gives

the year, but no date). For some time I had difficulty figuring his

place in the Hupp family, for there were more John Hupps than I could

fit. First I thought he was Balser's son, but that didn't check out

(see section C). So I had three John Hupps to marry, and only two

possibilities: the sons of Peter and Casper. Casper's son's life has

been fairly well established, so it could not be he.

For John and Catherine's descendants, see I-15.

Samuel R. Hupp

I know very little about Samuel R. Hupp himself, but he has a good

number of present day descendants. Samuel was recorded in only one

census (1840). His marriage was also recorded in Rockingham County. I

have found no deeds bearing his name. No estate was sold after he

died. From what I can tell from the 1840 census, Samuel was born in

the 1790's. He died in the 1840's.

Samuel R. Hupp married Catherine Minnick, the daughter of Mathias

Minnick, on 12/19/1831. (There is a Mathias Minnick buried in the

Rader Lutheran Church Cemetery, near Timberville. He lived from

3/10/1779 to 9/20/1860. His wife's name was Christina, and she died on

12/20/1873.) Samuel and Catherine had six children (see I-2).

Samuel could be a son of John Hupp (son of Peter) and Rachel Goans.

If Rachel died when Samuel was young, he might have been raised by some

of her relatives, and not by his father. This might explain why I find

no place for him among the Hupp families as shown in the censuses.

four children

A letter by a daughter of Dewitt Clinton Hupp states there were

only four brothers-- William and Elizabeth were not known. I know of

them because of the 1850 census. Samuel had died, but Catherine was

left as the head of the household. Living with her were Elizabeth, 12;

Mathias, 8; William, 17; and Elizabeth Whitmier, 65. Catherine was

listed as being 47, although she was actually 38. The other children

were "farmed out", and Calvin was living with Peter Minnick in

Shenandoah County. I find no record of Sylvester or DeWitt in the 1850

census.

I figure that Samuel and Catherine's daughter Elizabeth must have

died not long after 1850, for there is no family memory of her. Nor is

there any memory of William, who may have moved away before his brothers

grew up.

Catherine lived the rest of her life with Mathias and his family.

Most of that time they lived near Plains Mills in Rockingham County

(this is about five miles west of New Market). An atlas of Rockingham

County, dated 1886 indicates three Hupp houses in that area: Calvin

Hupp, Wm Hupp, and T. Hupp. It had me wondering for a long time who

that would be, since I could not find any Hupps in the valley at the

time whose name began with a "T". I even had a teenaged friend to tell

me that was proof that I was alive 100 years ago. The answer is that

"T" stands for "Tice", which is what Mathias Hupp sometimes went by.

The Wm. there is not Samuel and Catherine's son, but apparently a son

of Calvin's.

It was this area which was known as the town of Hupp about that

time. There was a Hupp post office between 1888 and 1902. Interest-

ingly enough, it was between 1886 and 1890 that this family of Hupps

deserted this area. Calvin's first wife died in 1885 and he moved to

West Virginia. His son William moved to Missouri. Catherine and

Mathias moved north to the Toms Brook area. Both Mathias and Catherine

died in 1891 and are buried in the Toms Brook Cemetery. The rest of

Mathias' family moved to the Strasburg area.

Calvin lived his early life beside Peter Minnick in the Mt. Clifton

area of Shenandoah County, Va. Later, he lived for a time in the

Plains Mills area (I have not been able to find him in the 1870 or 1880

censuses of Rockingham County). Sarah, his first wife, died in 1888,

and Calvin went to West Virginia after that. He married Margaret E.

(Cline) McCartney in 1893. By this marriage there were two daughters.

Calvin and Margaret are buried in the Mt. Pleasant UME Church Cemetery

at Thorton, WV, in Taylor County.

The information about the descendants of John D. Hupp was from

Mrs. Elaine McCreery, Mrs. Kathryn Corwin, Ms. Joyce Garrett, and Mrs.

Mary Kirkpatrick.

Information about Calvin S. Hupp's second marriage and his family

is mostly from Mrs. Patricia Scott of Westmont, NJ. If she had never

written me, I would probably never have found what happened to Calvin.

Sylvester and DeWitt C. Hupp, sons of Samuel R. Hupp

Sylvester and DeWitt moved to Madison County, Indiana soon after

reaching adulthood. Since they were not recorded in the 1850 census,

I would never have known about their connection, except for a letter

written by a Mrs. Stella (Hupp) Bolles in 1961. It was passed to me

by Mrs. Kathryn Corwin of Front Royal, Va. It originally accompanied

a letter to J.C. Hupp of Fairmont, WV, dated 8/21/1961. She was a

Curriculum Librarian at the County Schools Office of San Bernardino,

California. It was typed, and I have made only minor adjustments

to the form of the text (like single spacing the lines). Note--

she refers to Sylvester as Wesley. These are the same person. All

official references to him-- marriage record, census, tombstone--

write his name as Sylvester. Many dates that were unknown to Mrs.

Bolles can be found on I-2.

Samuel Hupp - Date and place of birth unknown. German-Holland

descent. Were very early settlers in Virginia.

Catherine Hupp - Scotch descent or German, not sure. Maiden

name unknown, although may have been Minnick since there

were cousins named Minnick - or, (also there were cousins

named Miller.)

Minnick, of U.S. Treasury Dept., lived in Washington, D.C.

(was a cousin whom Father visited in Washington, D.C.)

Samuel died before my Father, DeWitt Clinton, came to Indiana,

(settled in Middletown, Indiana.)

Catherine died after my oldest sister, "Lulu", born 1871. The

parents were farmers in Shenandoah Valley, Va., Rockingham

Co., old address was Broadway.

Allen Moyers, an old friend of family, and who corresponded

with our family for years lived in Broadway and died in 1932.

He had a daughter who lived in Broadway also.

Samuel and Catherine Hupp had four boys and no girls, born in

Rockingham Co., Virginia.

DeWitt Clinton - born June 6, 1840; died July 7, 1909

(69 years, 1 month, 1 day)

Mathias - called "Tice". Very distinguished looking, appearance

of a Deacon. Stayed in Virginia - dates unknown

Calvin - dates unknown, stayed in Virginia

Wesley - dates unknown, came to Middletown, Indiana when

DeWitt did. Moved to Anderson, Indiana, then,

near Alexandria, Indiana, prior to 1870.

{pagebreak}

I-7

Wesley married Sallie (Miller?), she was of German descent;

Wesley was a carpenter and lived well, had five children-

3 boys and 2 girls, Will, John, Frank, Mary ("bad girl"),

Cassie had club foot. All lived near Elwood, Indiana or

in the country near Anderson. Wesley was murdered by the

neighbor who lived across the road, named Frazer (or Fraser).

Wesley was building a new barn, both men went to Anderson to

buy lumber, Frazer became inebriated. Aunt Sallie went

across the road on Sunday afternoon to visit Frazer's family.

Frazer wanted Wesley to come over, he refused because "Frazer

was too drunk". Lamps were empty - no oil - so Frazer rang,

rang dinner bell for "Wes" to come over - as Wes entered

Frazer pulled a revolver from under his pillow killing him.

Frazer was taken to Anderson jail, and on Monday morning (next

day) hung himself with red bandana handkerchief. Frazer family

gave "Aunt Sallie" $1500 to settle, so no trial.

DeWitt Clinton Hupp (b. 6/6/1840) and Martha Rolfe (b. 8/10/1850)

Married March 24, 1870, lived on 160 acre Rolfe farm Anderson,

Indiana, with Martha's father in log cabin, until Malachi Rolfe

died a year later. Martha was willed 30 acres and the cabin.

To this union were born nine children - five boys and four girls.

1. Samantha Luvenia (Lulu) 2/10/1871 - 8/28/1958

2. George Hildebert 5/15/1873 - 2/2/1902

3. Mary Catherine 12/18/1875 - 3/18/1949

not a success.

6. Went into grocery business - had ice house, groceries, bacon,

dishes, (Queensware) - had too many charge accounts - went

for $1000 - built another in New Scott's addition for $100

a room. (10 room house)

7. Justice of Peace after grocery store failure (married many couples)

9. Nursery business - went to Rochester, N.Y., to buy trees, set

out all Popular trees in new "Scott's Addition", Alexandria,

I-8

10. Because Father was a Veteran of Civil War (1861-1867?), was

given Rural Mail Route - longest rural route in State of

Indiana, was last employment- 1902-1909.

Went to Soldiers Home, Marion, Indiana, in spring of 1909, when

he became unable to carry the mail - died suddenly July 7, 1909,

early in the morning, following a stroke which occurred while

bathing. On June the 6th, 1906 (6th month, 6th day & year 1906 -

he was 66 years of age).

Note: There are only 3 Hupp boys, sons of Victor H. Hupp, carrying

forward the Hupp name.

DeWitt George - A State Motor Patrol officer, Santa Ana,

California

Donn Lee - Escrow Dept, Loan Co., San Francisco, California

Victor Warren - Concrete block contractor, Garden Grove,

California. (near Disneyland)

In addition, there were some handwritten notes about the deaths of

her siblings:

1. Samantha (Lulu) died in Los Angeles

2. George H. " " Alexandria, Ind.

3. Mary C. " " " "

5. Frederick L. died in Buffalo, Wyo

6. Raymond R. died Central Point, Oregon

8. Victor H. died in Santa Ana, Calif.

This letter holds all I know about DeWitt's family, except for

some censuses. All they add to my knowledge was that some of the

members of this family had moved to California by 1910.

Descendants of Mathias P. Hupp, son of Samuel R. I-9

Mathias P. Hupp was the youngest child of Samuel R. Hupp and

Catherine Minnick, born 9/15/1841. He lived his whole life with his

mother. On 12/19/1866 he married Amanda Estep, the daughter of

Benjamin and Lucinda Estep. Mathias was described as being very

dignified (see I-6). Mathias died about nine months before his mother

did. They are both buried in the Toms Brook Cemetery.

Mathias' son David was a railroad man, and he settled in Strasburg.

He is buried in the Riverview Cemetery in Strasburg, as are his mother

and other members of the family.

St. Clair Hupp

During the 1850's a man named St. Clair Hupp moved from Virginia

to Illinois. He first settled in McLean County, and then in Champaign

County. The family is rather obscure in the records, and it would have

escaped my notice except for the fact that St. Clair Hupp is my great-

great-great-grandfather.

St. Clair Hupp married Rebecca Taflinger in 1854, and they had

seven children. As Taflinger is a rarer name even than Hupp, I was able

to trace her family-- back to Rockingham County, Virginia. She was the

daughter of John Taflinger and Sally Sherman. John's father was also

John Taflinger and Sally's father was Peter Sherman.

By process of elimination, I have concluded that St. Clair Hupp was

also from Rockingham County. All that I have left as possibilities

for him are that he was a son of Isaac Hupp and Elizabeth Barns (see

B-27), or, more likely, he was the same as William, son of Samuel R.

Hupp and Catherine Minnick (see I-2).

Family tradition tells nothing of St. Clair Hupp's background other

than that he was from Virginia, which official records confirm. But

by 1873, when he died, Illinois did not yet record the names of the

parents of the deceased (Virginia had been doing so since 1852).

There was an obituary in the Champaign Co. Gazette, dated

11/26/1873:

Mr. S.C. Hupp, of this place, died on

the 22d instant of typhoid pnuemonia.

The deceased was an old resident, form-

erly from the east. His funeral sermon

was delivered by Rev. M. Everest, the re-

mains were interred with the honors of

Odd-fellowship.

Well! That sure gives a lot of detail about the man!

I must give credit to the connection of St. Clair Hupp to William,

son of Samuel and Catherine to Robert A. Hupp of Warrenville, Illinois,

my father's cousin. He had been doing genealogy work some time before

I ever started. This theory has two things going for it: 1. the ages

agree for the two men, and 2. the 1880 census, which was taken just

after the birth of my great-grandfather, St. Clair Thomas Hupp. In it

his name was recorded as William S. So perhaps that was a recalling of

his grandfather. Of course this does not prove anything, but it is

something. For some time I rejected this theory because the Rockingham

County Atlas of 1886 showed a William Hupp living next to Calvin, and I

knew that Calvin was a brother to William. Further checks, however,

showed that that William was Calvin's son, instead.

St. Clair and Rebecca lived in the Ludlow area, in the northern

part of Champaign County. They are buried in the Maplewood Cemetery

north of Rantoul, and are some of their children and grandchildren.

The family of John Hupp of Rockingham County, Va.

John Hupp and Catherine Stoutemeyer were discussed on I-1. During

the 1820's they moved their family to Licking County, Ohio, settling in

the town of Newark. Catherine died in 1829, and she is buried in the

Old Graveyard in Newark Township.

John and Catherine had many children: the 1810 census shows them

with one boy and one girl, by 1820 there were four boys and two girls

(two of the boys between 10 and 16). The 1830 census shows no more

children born after 1820. I do not know the names of John and

Catherine's daughters. The sons were John, Jacob, Edward, and James.

John and Catherine's son John moved out and started his family

before Catherine died. The 1830 census lists him as living in Hartford

Township in Licking County. During the 1830's he moved with his family

to LaSalle County, Illinois (halfway between Chicago and Peoria).

In the 1850's John went to California, moving to Trinity Co.,

California, where he is listed in the 1860 census as a lawyer. John's

family stayed behind in Illinois. I have no contact with this family,

and have followed them only through censuses.

Jacob Hupp married Matilda Lawson in Rockingham County-- years

after his family had moved to Licking County. Jacob and Matilda were

in Licking County during the 1840 and 1860 censuses.

I am not certain that the James M. Hupp of Fairfield County is

the son of John and Catherine. John and Catherine did have a son named

James, and he was the about the same age as the James in Fairfield

County. But there is a record of a tombstone in the Old Graveyard in

Newark Township stating "James Hupp - died 1851 - aged 35 years". If

this is the John and Catherine's son, of course it cannot be someone who

lived to 1894. Yet it could be someone else, and I have no other family

to get a James Hupp of the right age. More research into this may

yield more certainty. In the meantime, I will include the descendants

of James Hupp of Fairfield County with this family.

The 1840 census states that John Hupp and Edward Hupp, both in

Newark, were involved with commerce.
