Hello. I am very new at this and I do not know how to ask for help, so please forgive my informality. HELP!! I am searching for any LOOPER (LUPER/LOPER/LUPPER) prior to 1790. My ggggrandfather was Daniel Looper(Luper). He died between March and August 1808 leaving a widow Sarah and eight children who are accounted for (I think) He is listed in the 1790 census as being in Iredell Co. NC I believe there was a Joseph LOOPER next door to him, and listed in SC for the 1790 census. Also listed I think is a William Luper in Buncombe Co. NC 1790 and I think in VA a Jeremiah LOOPER. It is believed that the LOOPERS migrated to NC from Cumberland Co. PA, but I have not found them anywhere. The local FHC has not been a lot of help...they are 30 miles away and only open 2 hours 3 days a week. We only get to town 2xs a month! Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated. I am descended from William, Daniel's firstborn son. Possible relations: William, Joseph, Jeremiah I wish I could just go there and look, but I am sure I am not alone on that one! I hope to at least narrow down the search area and cut down on the Email lists. Thank you in advance Murray Looper Professor http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/4835
