My third great grandfather was Benjamin Roop who was born in Pennsylvania in 1800, probably near Highspire since his wife Katherine was from there. Benjamin's father John,moved the family to Buffalo, NY at some point. John was killed by Indians in 1813 in the burning of Buffalo.I don't know who John's father was so haven't been able to trace the family back.B's mother probably moved back to PA to be with family after John died.I've been to Highspire and have seen the big white house.I took a picture of the Roop Street sign!
