from a genforum post: "Charles Sloop, farmer,was born Sept 22, 1804; resided with his mother until of age, when he began business for himself; his father died when he was young, and his stepfather did not give him the advantages of an education; but, after he became of age, he acquired a limited knowledge of the commoner branches, which enabled him to do business with fair facility; he came to Delaware Co., in 1835, where he purchased land, and has resided ever since, with the exception of one year that he spent in Kansas, going there in 1870, and returning in 1871 to his old farm, where he expects to remain the balance of his days.
Mr. Sloop was married Dec 25, 1831, to Miss Matilda Neff, who was a native of Fairfield Co. Ohio; was born April 3, 1812. From this union there were twelve children- Harrison, born Feb. 10, 1833; Eli, May 10, 1835; Mary J., April 20 1838; Harriet; Dec 8, 1839; Isabel A., Dec. 3, 1840; Isiah, Oct 7, 1842; Elizabeth, April 18, 1844; Hannah; Feb 24, 1846; Matilda, Aug 7, 1847, Eliza, July 25, 1849; Margaret, May 18, 1852; John, Jan 14 1853. The mother of these children died Jan 11, 1854.
Mr. Sloop purchased, when he first came to the county, a piece of land containing sixty acres, which was heavily timbered; afterward purchased fifty-three acres in connection with the first piece, all of which he cleared, and now is well improved. He is a member of the Disciples Church, and lives consistently as a Christian.
Politically, he is a Republican; and had several sons and sons-in-laws in the late war. Farming and stock-raising has occupied his attention since starting for himself."
He may be found in the 1880 Ohio, Delaware Co., Thompson census with his daughter Margaret. He states his father was born in Germany and his mother in Virginia.
There is some speculation that his father may have been a Hessian. Other researchers have stated he is the son of a Michael Sloop.
