Schoolhouse Hollow contains an intermittent watercourse that flows southward into the north bank of Schultz Creek. To locate Schoolhouse Hollow, begin at the intersection of Routes 784 and 546, about one-half mile east of the Lewis County border, in Greenup County. Proceed eastward on Route 784, which follows Schultz Creek on its north bank. There is a cemetery on the north side of Route 784, at the mouth of Negro Hollow. This cemetery is about one-eighth mile east of the intersection of Routes 784 and 546. Continue east. The next hollow is Polly Hollow. Sugarcamp Creek flows into Polly Hollow and then into Schultz Creek. The next hollow is Schoolhouse Hollow. The distance from the Lewis County border to the mouth of Schoolhouse Hollow is about one and three-fourths miles. Note: Brushy Iron Furnace (what is remaining of it) is four miles directly south of the mouth of Schoolhouse Hollow. Brushy Iron Furnace, built by Samuel Seaton, was originally named New Hampshire Furnace and is located on the north side of Brushy Creek Road, west of the community of Liberty/Lynn. There is a cemetery on the south side of Route 784, about a half-mile east of Schoolhouse Hollow, on the north bank of Schultz Creek. Thus, the cemetery is between Schultz Creek and Route 784. Another half-mile east is Rockhouse Hollow. About one and one-fourth miles further east is the center of the community of Letitia. This map information is derived from the map of Greenup County, Kentucky in ~Kentucky County Map Book~, compiled by C.J. Puetz, County Maps, Puetz Place, Lyndon Station, WI 53944, (608) 666-3331. Loper School might have been at or near the mouth of Schoolhouse Hollow. I do not know. As for the location of Loper Cemetery, it has an "address" of Letitia, Kentucky. Thus, Loper Cemetery could be either of the cemeteries on Route 784 and Schultz Creek west of Letitia Center. The cemeteries are not named on the map. They are indicated by the symbol of a dashed rectangle with a cross inside. Traveling west out of Letitia Center on Route 784, the first cemetery is about one and three-fourths miles away, on the south side of Route 784. The second cemetery is about one and three-fourths miles further west, on the north side of Route 784. I am researching the Lopers. Of particular interest are John Loper (died 1903) and George W. Loper (ca.1836-1889), who might have been brothers. I am searching for their parents. The John and George Loper I am referring to are buried next to each other in Carbon Hill Cemetery, Ward Township, Hocking County, Ohio. George W. Loper was a resident of Greenup County, Kentucky from at least 1859 to about 1865 or so. George W. Loper married Rebecca Mitchell on August 24, 1859 in Greenup County.

How can I find out more information about the Colegrove"s. My gg grandmother was Cydna Jane Colegrove (dob1859) from Greenup. I have beed told she was part Indian but can find anything to back it up. What kind of Indian were around Greenup? Also I would like to know what kind of work the Colegrove's did. Thanks for any suggestion Bev from CA [email protected] wrote: This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.
