Here's the entry in Warmer's Beaver Co, PA History (1888), John Popp, farmer, P.O. Industry, was born in Baden, Germany, June 22, 1824, son of Sylvester & Margarette Popp, also natives of Germany. The father was a farmer by occupation, and died in Germany. John came in America in 1849, and worked as a farm laborer in Allegheny county, Pa, for six years; he then rented a farm in the same county, and followed agricultural pursuits until 1869. In the following year he purchased and removed to his present farm in Industry township. He was married in 1847, to Susan, daughter of Wolfcombe Schuster, a native of Germany, and five children have blessed their union: Maggie, wife of Michael Hardner, of Allegheny county; Caroline, wife of John Paser, of Droversburg, Pa; JOhn, a farmer in Industry township, and married to Mary Methouse; Mary, wife of Peter Smith, of Droversburg; and George, at home. Mr. Popp is allied to no political party, but always supports the best man; his first vote cast for Stephen A, Douglas. He and his wife are members of the Lutheran church. Anyone related, & have more after this generation? I've got this Popp line recently & wanted to see if this the one above. Anyone know or have this info too? Can anyone verify the "H" as a middle ID? I'm thinking that John might be "dad" here, or a son named John perhaps!? I'd like to get in contact with a Phyliss Dawson in Beaver CO, PA. I understand she's doing the Popp family tree. If she reads this, contact me. I'm related to Chris Raber, below. I'm a direct descendent of him. Thanks, Cathy Raber John H. Popp, Industry, PA (Fairview)?
