There are a few of us out here who can't trace our SlOOP roots to NC. My line appears to have come from Maryland and then into PA and OH. There may also be a KY connection to Joseph but yet undiscovered. I believe John Sloop (Rev War time period) may old the key, but no documentation has been found regarding him other than a reference to his property in a Maryland source. Charles Sloop mentioned previously is the son of Michael Sloop also found in Maryland census. I'm especially interested in Philip Sloop in the 1810 Plumstead Co., PA census. Any information on SLOOPs in MD, OH, PA, KY greatly appreciated.
