Ernest Stoops 4/26/98
In searching my Elwood line my anscestor William Elwood, b. about 1758 d. 1832 in Westmorelamd Cty PA. His wife was a Jean Stoops of SouthMountain where the Battle of Antietem was fought according to some histories. It was said her father was Robert Stoops a Revolutionary War soldier said to have lived 110 years. Another history says Jean lived to be 107 and died in 1842. Another account says she came from Conocoheague valley. Before going to Westmoreland County they lived in Antrim Township, Cumberland County.
An obscure note in an Elwood history says Dorothy English Stitt was a sister to Jean Stoops grandmother, Mary English Stoops.
