General Notes: Husband - John Shopp

---

His farm was one of the original tracts, called "Manington," for which a warrant was granted May 17, 1767, by Thomas and John Penn. After but two intermediate transfers, it was purchased, September 20, 1774, by Ulrich Shopp, John's grandfather, and continued in the ownership of the family thereafter.
He was born in the small log schoolhouse which stood near St. John's Church, one-fourth mile from his farm, but which at that time was near the site of his residence. He followed farming until about 1866, when he retired, and was thereafter engaged in no special active business. He was long an active member of the United Brethren Church, the first edifice belonging to that denomination in the neighborhood having been built on land which he gave for that purpose, together with sufficient ground for a grave-yard.
