The Opps that are my ancestors were from Germany.They sailed from Amsterdam in the ship "Betsy", and arrived in Philadelphia on October 26, 1768. There were five children:Catherine Gowe, born 1754; John, born 1755 but died a young man at Danville, Pa; Philip, born 1759; Eve, born 1760; and Mary Bogart, born 1764.Philip eventually settled in Lycoming County sometime after 1787, but was driven out by the Indians from time to time.His family returned and finally made a farm and prospered.My grandfather, Harvey, at one time owned and operated the largest farm in Lycoming County.WHen I was a child I spent many summers on the farm with my brothers.
