There is only one other name in the family and that is one of the children of Loomis. I don't know where the name came from. During several years of research I have reviewed the sources mentioned and a number of other source but my best source has been letters from cousins in their 80's and 90's that documented that Loomis was my biological father. My father was later adopted by my step-father. I appreciate your help and sorry I can't help with the Loomis family. Dick Martin
