I am looking for information on the parents of Hiram Sloop. He was born in Philadelphia, PA 1 Jan 1806 and died 18 May 1869 in Cincinnati, Ohio. He married Anna Maria Shute 18 June 1826 and they had the following children: Marie Louise b. 1827 d. in infancy, William Henry, Marie Louisa b 4 Feb 1831, Hiram Sylvester d. in infancy, Emily Frances, Mary Elizabeth, Emma Frances b 4 Oct 1848, d. 4 Feb 1928, Amelia A., Charles, and Hiram who died as a prisoner of war in Libby prison. Family oral history discribed the Sloop family as "Pennslyvania Dutch". Any information on the origin of this Sloop family greatly appreciated.
