From The Hollopeter Family Record:
John Hollopeter (1766-?) was the son of Matthias and Barbara (Ruszor Roose) Hollopeter, and was born in York Co., Pa. He was a farmer and a bridge builder. We were not able to learn the family name of his wife, Mary, but learned that she was nicknamed "Polly". John's farm was on the western side of the Susquehanna River, "Not on the side with Harrisburg". We do not know how close to Harrisburg his farm was. From an old letter we learn that John did not leave York Co. until 1832, so was about 64 when he went to Miami Co., OH. His nine children were all born in Pa. We know that his eldest daughter did not go to Ohio, but had married and was living in Newport, Perry Co., Pa. Others of his children must have been married, too, and we do not know how many migrated to Ohio. We were not able to learn anything about some of the children but the dates of their birth. Others we have some record of.
