Margie, several years ago I xeroxed warrants and survey maps from our courthouse here in Bedford. I got a big laugh out of the name Roop because they had surveys or warrants for every member of the family and there were so many of them. If I remember correctly all the land was in Southampton Co in the very south of Bedford Co. If you look at the Pioneer hist. Soc webpage they have a look-up service which might give you a complete list of all the Roops among those xeroxes.

The mountain surveys containing two hundreds and thirty six acres and ten perches, be the same more or less. Thereon erected a two story hewed log house, a good hewed log shop one story high, a weavers shop one story high, a cabin barn, about one hundred & fifteen acres cleared thereon, eight of which is meadow, also an orchard thereon, & praying for an Inquest to make partition or valuation of the same agreeably to the intestate laws of this Commonwealth." > > Fredrick was taxed in Union Twp, not Hopewell Twp, from 1810-1834. After Fredrick's death, the land was sold to James Entriken.
