Miller EMAIL: bhmiller@kih.net URL: QRYTEXT: My great-great grandfather, John M. "Jack" Looper left Clinton Co. KY about 1866 and settled in Christian Co. IL. He is found on the 1870 Christian Co. IL Census. His family had moved back to Clinton Co. KY by the early 1870's. He had five daughters, born between 1867 and 1880, with the first two born in 1867 and 1869 in Illinois. The third daughter was born in KY in 1871, so their stay in Christian Co. IL was probably 5 years. John M. Looper was a Civil War soldier on the Union side in the 13th KY Cavalry, Co. E. Wondering what would have taken the family to Illinois? Many Clinton Co. KY people left after the Civil War and settled elsewhere.
