John Shupp, Sr.'s lineage probably goes back to Germany when the sirname was spelled Schupp. But, this writer has been unable to find for sure who his parents were. Several family trees on Ancestry.com show he was the son of John George Shupp and Anna Maria (Yeager) who migraated from Pennsylvania to Ohio and are buried there. See note at the end of this memorial from a relative who states that John was the son of Daniel Shupp and Elizabeth (Steffee).

John Shupp was born in Pennsylvania and was married twice. He first married Maria Kachel in 1837 and she died after the birth of their first child:

Henry Shupp 1838-

John then married Sarah Ache/Aukah/Ockey in 1842. According to the death certificate of their son, John Shupp, Jr., his mother's maiden name was Sarah Aukah. Their daughter Mary (Shupp) Wenrick's death certificate spells her mother's maiden name as Ockey. Both maiden names sound similar, but this writer does not know which spelling is correct. The relative mentioned above states that Sarah's maiden name was spelled Ache.

John and Sarah had the following known children:

Mary (Shupp) Wenrick 1842-1916
Elizabeth Shupp 1846-
Jacob Shupp 1849-
John Shupp, Jr. 1856-
Sarah Shupp 1858-

In the 1860 census, John and Sarah Shupp were living in East Cocalico Township of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania (post office Reamstown) with 6 children:

John Shupp 44
Sarah Shupp 44
Henry Shupp 21
Mary Shupp 17
Elizabeth Shupp 14
Jacob Shupp 11
John Shupp 4
Sarah Shupp 2

By 1870 John and Sarah Shupp had moved to Macon County, Missouri, and had two children left at home Elizabeth 22, and John, Jr. 16. In 1880 in Macon County, Missouri, John and Sarah were both 64 years old and had two of their children living with them, Jacob 28, and John, Jr. 23.

In the 1900 census of Macon County, Missouri, Sarah Shupp, age 84, was widowed and living with her son John, Jr. 44 and his wife Jennie 39.

NOTE: The following information was provided by Atwood James Shupp of Glendora, NJ in August, 2013:

John was married to Sarah Ache on August 16, 1842 at the First Reformed Church, Reading, PA by Rev. William Pauli. Alleghenyiville Church shows John was born September 2, 1816 in Brecknock, West Cocalico Twp, PA to Daniel and Elizabeth (Steffee) Shupp/Schupp. Sarah was John's second wife. His first wife Maria Kachel 1821-1838 who died 9 days after giving birth to son Henry. John & Maria were married December 26, 1837 at First Reformed Church, Reading, PA, by Rev. William Pauli. Maria is buried at Swamp Cemetery, Cocalico Twp, PA. I show the following children born to them in Pennsylvania, Maria 1842, Elizabeth 1845, Evsy 1847 and Jacob 1849. I believe that they had a son William Henry born to them in Missouri in 1850. William went off on his own by 1870 and lived in Colorado and later New Mexico where he is buried.
