History of Noble Co, Ohio 1887 pp 533
George Hupp, of Pennsylvania, of German origin, came to the township[Jefferson] among the very first settlers. His wife was Rachel Archer,one of the Archer family who settled in the vicinity of Carlisle about1810. They had two children when they moved to this locality. One ofthe characters who frequented this part of the country in early years wasan old hunter known as Mull Ryan. Indians had not entirely left htecountry when Hupp came, and on one occasion Ryan terrified the family by approaching the cabin in the night and giving a loud war-hoop. Hupp siezed his gun, and would have soon ended the fun had not Ryan made himself known and begged him not to shoot. George Hupp died early. His children were Nancy, John, Philip, and Elizabeth, deceased; Mary ,Cynthia, Henry, Rachel, and George, living; Daniel, deceased. Henry and George still live in this township. Mrs. Hupp married Peter Karns afterthe decease of Mr. Hupp and had several children...Mr. Hupp has served as!
