THE HOLLOPETER FAMILIES OF ALLEN CO., IN

 

As far as I know, no one has written a story of their Hollopeter family in Allen County, Indiana.  So I will attempt to write some of the background of the family in hopes that others will send in more information on their particular line.

 

Thanks to Jan Herbert, who has written “THE HOLLOPETER BROTHERS AND THEIR EDMONDS WIVES OF FOSTORIA, OHIO.   She goes into much detail of the family and has researched it thoroughly. 

 

The HOLLOPETER family probably originated in Germany and when they came to America they settled in York Co., PA.   It seems that if you follow the family across the country by the census reports you will find them all moving together from place to place with many of the original names being repeated over and over again, like Mathias, Andrew, Frederick, etc.  You can almost see them packing up and marching out across the country together. 

 

The first one we find is MATTHIAS HOLLOPETER who was born about 1728 in Germany and married in 1754,  BARBARA RUSZ/ROOSE,  in Pennsylvania.  They may have come to America about the same time or even traveled across the water together.   Matthias died in Pennsylvania in May of 1799 and Barbara died about 1823. 

 

Children of Matthias and Barbara were:

 

Mary, Susanna, Barbara, Catharine, John, Christina, Frederick, a 2nd Christina, Matthias, Jr., Andrew, Abraham, and a 2nd Barbara.

Biography on CYRUS HOLLOPETER, son of Abraham:

 

From Griswold, THE VALLEY OF THE UPPER MAUMEE, and ANNALS OF THE TOWNSHIPS by Mrs. Samuel R. Taylor, Chicago, Robert O. Law Company, 1917........page 668 Springfield Township

 

"A notable group of Springfield settlers numbered several who came before 1840 to secure land, after which they returned to their families, and worked to save the necessary means for transference of their affairs to the new country.  CYRUS HOLLOPETER, whose parents settled in Cedar Creek earlier "bought" his majority from his father, when 19 years old, by clearing 7 acres of Cedar land.  In 1848 he bought 53 acres in Springfield, which he improved and traded for 40 better located ones, also in Springfield.  He developed into one of the township's best men, was married to Lydia Conway in Fort Wayne, by Squire DuBois, 1850, was a prominent Methodist, a Constable for 12 years, a school director for 20 years, a member of the Regulators."

                       

Will attempt to add more of the local and later descendants of these Hollopeters and their stories and families.   Three of the local descendants of these families are:

 

            Shirley Underwood, who is a descendant of Abraham and his son Israel.

            Marna Jo Neuhouser Worman, a descendant of Isaiah and his son Wm. H

            Warren Fitch, a descendant of Rev. Andrew and his son, William C.

CAPT. WILLIAM C. HOLLOPETER  is a son of Rev. Andrew Hollopeter, who was a native of Pennsylvania and a minister of the Gospel in the Methodist Episcopal Church for nearly fifty years.  His mother's maiden name was Catherine Edmonds, Ohio being her native state. 

 

William C. was the eldest of seven children, three yet living in Allen County and one, a sister, living in DeKalb County of this state.  A brother, still living in this county, was a veteran soldier in the Eleventh Indiana Volunteer Infantry during the late war.  The subject of our sketch was born in Wayne County, Ohio, August 24, 1833.  In youth he had moderate opportunities, only, for acquiring an education.  He improved well such opportunities, however, thus preparing himself to act a practical part in life's dealings.  His father, with family, removed from Ohio to this county in March 1847, making a choice of settling in Cedar Creek Township.  Farming was their pursuit, and William C. continued with his parents, aiding at this vocation, until the summer of 1854 when he became of age

 

For a period forward from that time, in the struggle for self-maintenance, he directed his energies alternately at teaching a district school during the winters and at farming during the summers.  He was joined in marriage, May 18, 1858 with Miss Cynthia A. Moore, of Allen County.  She was a native of Delaware County, Indiana, born April 22, 1839.  Seven children have been the fruits of this marriage, six of them still living viz:  Milton R. (deceased), Charles McPherson, Ophelia May, Walter M.M., Ellen Gertrude, Rosa Belle and Herbert Salon.

 

A patriot to his country, on August 28, 1862, to help maintain the Stars and Stripes, he enlisted as a private soldier in Company C, 88th Regiment Indiana Volunteer Infantry.  At the organization of the company, he was appointed Corporal, on February 18, 1863 he was advanced to First Lieutenant of his company, and on October 24, following, was commissioned as Captain.  He was with his company and regiment during their entire service, the same being attached to the Army of the Cumberland.  He was in seventeen distinct engagements and received two severe wounds;  fought under Generals Rosecranz and Thomas, and participated in Sherman's march to the sea.  Remaining in the service til after the surrender, until the old flag was again unfurled to every state and every people of our broad Union (without dispute).  Captain Hollopeter received his discharge at Washington D.C., June 7, 1865.  Following his discharge, he immediately returned to the bosom of his family and to the quiet avocations of civil life in Cedar Creek Township.  Religiously he has been an exemplary member of the Methodist Episcopal Church since the age of 16 and his estimable wife since a young girl of nine years.   Has ever been a stanch friend of temperance.  In politics, a firm Republican, yet not an aspirant for political honors.  For the past fifteen years has belonged to the Order of A. F. & A.M.   He is an industrious, good citizen, one whose influence for the right is ever felt.  Is an ever willing advocate and supporter of that which elevates while he is just as ready and anxious to repudiate and defeat that which debases.  Within the large circle of his acquaintance he is universally esteemed.

Cynthia’s Moore family has been traced to early settlers in Scioto Co., Ohio.  Though the above death certificate gives the birthplace of her father and mother as Indiana, it must be incorrect, as they were born in Ohio.  They moved to Delaware Co., as children, with their parents, but were born too early to have been born in Indiana.  But it is correct that Cynthia’s parents were Phillip Moore and Sarah McCall.  Both families were prominent in Scioto and Adam’s counties in Ohio. 

 

Note also from the above biography the absence of another son of William and Cynthia,  by the name of Lloyd, perhaps born too late to be included in the bio.

MORE ON THE HOLLOPETER FAMILY HISTORY, written by the local families

This account may have information not found in other accounts, but also may be missing some information added elsewhere.  It is essentially the family of Israel Hollopeter who lived in Eel River Township, Allen Co., IN. 

 

MATHIAS HOLLOPETER was the founder of this line, in this country.  He came to America in 1753 and located in York County, PA.  He is said to have been born in Holland, about 1740, although that is not definite.  The date, however, seems to be supported by the further report that he died in 1800 at the age of 60, in York County, where he had spent his entire life in this country.  It would seem from this that he must have come to this country with parents or at least with relatives, as he would have been but 13 years old, but no record of any is available.  I have no name or date record of his wife, and only have the report that she was of Irish parentage.  It appears that there were 5 children born to this family, all sons.  The first was:

            FREDERICK, born September 13, 1770

            ANDREW, born in September, 1777

            ABRAHAM, born in 1780

            JOHN, born in 1790

            JOSEPH, I have no record of his date of birth or further record of him.  

 

ANDREW HOLLOPETER married in 1799.  We have only his wif’e first name, PHOEBE, and that she was born August 18, 1772 and died in February 1842.  Andrew died in March 1842.  There were 8 children, 6 boys and 2 girls. 

ABRAHAM was the first, born May 20, 1800.

            FREDERICK was born April 15, 1803. 

MATHIAS was born March 6, 1805.  WESLEY was born December 15, 1806.             ANDREW was born August 22, 1808. 

MARGARET was the 6th, but we do not have the date of her birth.  She seems    

to have married a Mr. Wells, as did also the 7th child

 PHOEBE, who was born July 15, 1817. 

 The last ISAIAH, born September 3, 1822.
