At this time, November of 1829, Isaac was aged 25. The 1830

census listed with Isaac Hupp, three other people, although he was not

yet married. Two of them appear to me to be his sister Anna and her

son Abraham. The third person was a teenage girl, and I know of no

girl in the family that age.

It was about four years later, on October 10/6/1834** that Isaac

married Eliza Snyder. I don't think the couple waited very long

before moving to Indiana, in LaPorte County, in Union Township.

According to a Biographical Record of LaPorte County about

Theodore Hupp, Isaac's son, Isaac and Eliza

came direct to LaPorte County, Indiana, arriving

sometime in the thirties. Their first home was near

Westville, and afterward Mr. Isaac Hupp owned land

near Valparaiso. Subsequently he located in Pleasant

Township and then in Union Township, where he died at

the age of about sixty-three years. Mrs. Eliza Hupp

passed away in Arkansas City, Kansas, while living

with her daughter, being then eighty-six years of age.

They were both consistent members of the Methodist

Episcople Church, and Mr. Isaac Hupp was a Democrat in

his political affiliations. He was ever honest and

upright, was fair and just in his relations with his

fellow men, and left to is family an example well

worthy of emulation.

Peter, Jacob, and George Dawson were all brothers. George was a

minister, and he and Sarah celebrated their 60th anniversery in Wichita,

having moved to Kansas in 1885. I do not know how much longer George

and Sarah lived, but as far as I know, Sarah was the last surviving

grandchild of Balser Hupp.

James K. Hupp lived as a prominent citizen and builder in Aurora,

Nebraska. He battled cancer for his last 12 years. Thomas was married

twice, both times in Indiana. Thomas's son, John, became a millionaire

Grain Dealer in Kansas. His half-brothers lived in Minnesota at that

time.

James G. Hupp has been my main source of information on the family

of Isaac Hupp, plus some on some other Hupp families that lived in

LaPorte County. He lives in Orinda, California, so it was a big trip

for him to return to where he was born. Here is an article about his

visit:

<Newspaper article>
F-7

In addition to the historical information in the article, I also

include it to show how facts can get mixed up when stories are passed

between people. The article says that Burr Hupp's brothers went west,

when it was his uncles that did so-- his brothers stayed in the LaPorte

area. The story about the Hupps having owned the land which the LaPorte

Courthouse is on is entirely wrong-- it was the Andrews family which

owned that land. There is also the implication that James Hupp once

lived on the family farm: he grew up in LaPorte.

Such problems arise, James tells me, because journalists are not

trained as historians. I suspect that the problem arises in many local

history articles and books. It appears that one of the easiest pitfalls

is confusion of generations by a listener, for I have noticed many of

my listeners making equivalent mistakes as they are taking in what I

have to share about family history.

Other Hupps of this family I have had contact with John E. Hupp

and his wife Ruth of LaPorte. They had saved some old letters which

enabled me to make other contacts, including James G. Hupp. Also I met

Steve Hupp of Edwardsburg, Michigan while at the Hupmobile Meet in

Elkhart, Indiana. For more on that, see section C.
