The genealogy of The Troop Family as told by Waldron M. Troop … “Dating back to the Revolutionary War of 1775, a John Troop who lived in
, who came South from the hills to a cooperage, as he was a skilled barrel-maker. At that time he was taken by the British and pressed into the Army and sent to the City of Boston, Massachusetts to serve as a British Officer … He later married an Irish woman and settled in Scotland . Around 1778-1779, they had two sons, John and William Troop. At about that time in the year of 1780 the British came over to Ipswich, Massachusetts and picked up their soldiers and were taken back to Massachusetts and he was never heard from again, leaving a wife and two sons at England .” Ipswich, Massachusetts
To date, we are not sure if John Troop married after fulfilling his obligation to the British Army. Checking the
Ipswich and Vital Records, no marriage record is shown. We do locate the baptism in both Salem, Massachusetts and Salem for William Troop, only … The report that John Troop returned to Ipswich, Massachusetts after the Revolutionary War is not correct. We locate through the Town Clerk and the Vital Records of Concord, England : John Troop died in Massachusetts , Concord, Massachusetts April 3, 1826.
The name of John Troop’s wife is unknown at this time but it has been stated that she and her two boys loaded their belongings on a scow and sailed down the Ipswich River and up the Kennebec River to what is now known as “Beach Hill” near or part of Pittston, Maine, no further record of the mother after this date. This information has not been proven.
There have been several researchers who believe that John Troop may have been the son of Valentine Troop and Catherine Church, indicating that John Troop’s wife name is Eunice Fellows … To date I have not found the connection that confirms this information either the Vital or Church Records in Maine and Massachusetts …
