PETER and CASPER HUPP
Peter and Casper Hupp were apparently immigrants who came to settle
in the Shenandoah Valley. They were probably older than Balser and the
brothers that left the valley in 1770. Peter arrived in Philadelphia
in 1748 or 1749 and Casper in 1753. The earliest mention I have of
either of them in the Shenandoah Valley was that Casper Hupp bought
some land in 1763 not far from New Market.
Compared to Balser Hupp's family, I know very little about the
families of Peter and Casper. I think I do know all of their children's
names, though.
At the time Peter and Casper were still alive (they both died
in the 1700's), the records spelled the name "Hoop" or "Hup".
PETER HUPP
It seems that Peter Hupp (immigration records spelled the name
"Hop") was the first member of the family to arrive in America. He was
on the ship Elliot, which came from Rotterdam, Holland to Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. There is some confusion as to its arrival date (see A-6).
He may have lived in Lancaster County, Pa., as may have his brothers(?)
later. I found a mention of a Jacob Hupp in Lancaster County, Pa.
mentioned in the Shenandoah County records (in 1786). I have no idea
how he would fit in.
Peter's wife was named Magdalen, and they had three children:
Susannah, who married Hannachel Fry; Peter, Jr.; and John. John was
born on 5/30/1773.
The will of "Peter Hoop" is recorded in the Shenandoah County Will
Book A, pp. 61 and 62. It is dated 6/8/1773, less than two weeks after
his son John was born. The location was "Parish of Beckford". It
states that Peter owned lots 11, 106, and 122 in Woodstock. The house
was on lot 122, which his wife was to receive. The other two lots
were to be sold. His son Peter was to get his land (supposedly
elsewhere). A book of abstracts of wills of Shenandoah County adds
that the will was proved 6/22/1773. I do not know if this means that
he died that date, or something else. But there is no further record
of the older Peter Hupp after that.
All I know of Peter's children was that Susannah married
Hannachel Fry on 6/18/1791, Peter married Madaline Kibler on 3/23/1796,
and John married Rachel Goans on 3/30/1798. It is not proved that these
are Peter's children, but they fit both in names and dates, and are
among the few Hupp marriages which do not fit in the other families.
Since Casper's and Balser's children and their families are well
enough figured, I think it most likely that all of the unconnected
families (section I) are descendants of Peter Hupp.

CASPER HUPP
As mentioned on A-6, Casper Hop arrived at Philadelphia aboard
the Eastern Branch on 10/3/1753. He may have lived in Pennsylvania
a few years before moving to the Shenandoah Valley. A later deed (land
sold by Casper's son John, in 1800) states that Casper bought some land
in May of 1763 from William and Susannah Clark near what is now
Shenandoah Caverns, four miles north of New Market.
In A HISTORY of Shenandoah County, by John W. Wayland, Casper Hupp
is said to have been a Baptist preacher, as was one of his sons-in-law,
Anderson Moffett.
Casper's wife's name was Mary, and they had six children:
Casper Hup ( - 1781)
m. Mary --- ( - 1810)
1. Barbara Hup (10/31/1758 - 11/9/1848) see H-3

6. Martin Hupp (9/22/1775 - 8/10/1829) see H-11f
m1. Clara Copp? (4/27/1781 - 10/5/1826)
m2. Alice White Frovel
Mary m2. Charles Taylor on 12/3/1781
m3. Sebastian Stegler on 10/5/1801
Considering the spread in ages, I think it is likely there were
several other children who died young.
After Casper died, his sons were placed under the guardianship of
Edwin Young, John Neff, Joseph Strickly, and Peter Funk in 1784. When
John reached 21 (in 1787), he was given the guardianship of Samuel, and
then of Martin.
Mary was married twice again after Casper died, as shown above.
She had her will written up 12/22/1808. She mentions her six children
(mentioning that John had died). The executor was Henry Greenwood, and
the witnesses were Henry Greenwood, George Black, and George Hupp (as
far as I know, this could only be her grandson, who was 16 at the time.
The will was proved 5/7/1810.

The information I have on the descendants of Casper's daughter
Barbara is from the HISTORY of Shenandoah County, plus a few dates
added from tombstones.

Anderson Moffett was a Baptist preacher who preached the gospel
for 70 years. He was a delegate from Rockingham County to Virginia's
General Assembly. Anderson and Barbara are buried in Tenth Legion,
south of New Market.
John Hupp, son of Casper
After he turned 21, John became the guardian of his brothers
Samuel and Martin. Three years later, in 1790, he married Sarah Rader
or Reeder. John and Sarah had two children: George F. and Polly.
John was involved in the education of his brother, Martin. For more on
that see H-11. John probably lived several different places from
Strasburg in the north to Keezletown, near Harrisonburg, in the south.
There has been a difference in opinion about who John's parents
were: his descendants in Strasburg told me that he was the son of Peter
and Magdalen; I am claiming he was the son of Casper and Mary. To state
my case, I make note that the descendants claim John was born on
3/1/1766, while Peter's son John was born on 5/30/1773. Also, the
Shenandoah County Deed Book M, pp. 166, 167 state that the John Hup
whose wife was Sarah was a son of Casper Hup. Furthermore, after John
died, his children were raised by Martin Hupp, who was a son of Casper.

John and Sarah's son George F. Hupp was a very prominent citizen of
Strasburg. He owned an estate of about 1000 acres which included Hupp
Hill and Hupp's Cave, which was later renamed Crystal Caverns. He also
lived in a large mansion. George F. Hupp was reportedly a paymaster in
the War of 1812. Later he owned or part-owned three of four furnaces
where metals, mostly iron, were smelted. In the early 1800's he was
involved in so many land deals, that I did not bother writing down
even the reference. If anyone wants all of that information, it can
be found in the County Courthouse in Woodstock.

<sketch of Hupp Mansion>
The Hupp Mansion of Strasburg, Virginia
The old Hupp Mansion is just north of Strasburg on the east side
of U.S. 11. Actually the mansion burned in the late 1800's and was
rebuilt. The mansion was recently owned by the Balfour players group,
but I think they recently sold it. Frank Hupp, a great-grandson of
George F. Hupp, lives across U.S. 11 in the Hupp Frontier Fort.
George's sons George F. Jr. and Joseph S. were soldiers for the
confederacy in the Civil War, and came home expecting to find their home
burned to the ground, as happened to many large houses. The Shenandoah
Valley was the "breadbasket" of Virginia and it had been long defended
from Union Forces by Stonewall Jackson. As the war drew to a close, it
was ordered that the valley be laid waste to such an extent that "if
a crow would fly over, it would need to carry its own provisions".
But Union generals Shields and Banks made the Hupp mansion their
headquarters, and it was not destroyed.
Although George F. Hupp lived to be 93, he was not very active in
trading land after the Civil War. In fact, his wife Catherine wrote up
her will, deciding how the property was to be divided among the heirs.
Catherine died 10 years before George did.
There were four sons of George F. Hupp, but only one, George F.
Jr., had any children. The list of his descendants is on the next
page.

Back to John, George F. Hupp's father: His estate included four
slaves (there were no slaves owned by Balser or Abraham Hupp). The
property was sold on 12/30/1807. Buyers included Martin Hup, Samuel
Hup, Palser Hup, Abram Hup, and Anderson Moffet. Martin and Samuel
were John's brothers, but Balser and Abraham were more distantly
related. This shows the different Hupp families were still close at
this time.
In 1800 John had sold some land to his brother Samuel (Deed Book
M, pp 167,168) which was north of New Market. It was an irregular
shaped tract that was two miles long. It ran northwest from the North
Fork of the Shenandoah River and included the present day interchange 68
on Interstate 81, Shenandoah Caverns, and most of Williamsville.

Samuel Hupp, son of Casper
Samuel was the second son of Casper, born in the early 1770's.
On 5/26/1796 he married Margaret Wilson (also known as Peggy). They
started their family in Virginia, and then moved to Licking County, Ohio
about 1816. They had a total of nine children.
The 1830 and 1840 censuses of Licking County list Samuel as living
in Licking Township. But Samuel owned land in several neighboring
counties as well, notably Knox County. Samuel's will was recorded
in the Licking County Courthouse in Newark. The courthouse burned
in 1875, but the will was resubmitted in 1878.

It is interesting how Samuel used "the" as a pronoun. This could
be a miscopy, or it could be that Samuel was using it as in the German
language.

Dr. Martin Hupp, son of Casper
Martin Hupp was born on 9/22/1775, the youngest son of Casper and
Mary. He was only six when his father died. After his brother John
turned 21, Martin was under his guardianship. It was during this time
that Martin received his medical training.
(The following was the first story I read concerning Hupp history)
Martin Hupp was apprenticed to John Peter Ahl of Keezletown (east
of Harrisonburg, in Rockingham County). Solomon Henkel was a fellow
student. But Ahl did not live up to his obligations, and because of
trouble with his apprentices, he was put in the Rockingham County jail
in 1796. When he was found guilty of violating his apprenticeship
contract with Martin Hupp, he disappeared from Virginia. Ahl was found
years later, in South Carolina, as a drunk. He died in 1827.
The accounts of these events mention John Hupp as Martin's
guardian, and make note that the Hupps did try to keep John P. Ahl out
of jail while seeking justice. One source incorrectly states that John
was Martin's father (all others name him as his guardian).
After Martin's brother John died, Martin was awarded guardianship
of John's children, George F. and Polly. By that time, they were in
their teens.
Martin's practice as a doctor was in Woodstock. He was one of the
first trustees of Massanutten Military Academy in Woodstock.
Martin Hupp's wife was named Clara. I believe her maiden name was
Copp, as this couple, and several of their children were buried in the
Copp-Hupp Cemetery. Clara bore him at least five children. After Clara
died, Martin married Mrs. Alice Frovel on 2/26/1829. The marriage was
shortlived- Martin died the following August 10. That was a bad year
for that family. Not only did Martin died then, but so did his son
Harrison and daughter Margaret Samuels. This was the same year that
Balser and Abraham died, near New Market.
Alice's was born Alice M. White. Before she married Martin Hupp,
she had been married to George Fravel, and after Martin died, she
married William Anderson.
An inventory of Dr. Martin Hupp's estate was made on 9/22/1829.
It was valued at $2715.07 + 8 slaves ($2000). Martin's son George A.
Hupp was the administrator. Sale customers included William C. Hupp,
George F. Hupp, Mary C. Hupp, Alice M. Hupp, and George A. Hupp.

disposition be made of my wearing apparel. do give it to my
worthy Brotherinlaw Geo W. Stickley for the many acts of

reimbursed either in kindness, love or money, would be perfect
folly in the extreme.
