Conrad CUPP II
Elizabeth CRONINGER
WARNING:  Sorting out the baptisms of the children in Northampton [now Lehigh] County has its problems.  Conrad II, our subject, and his father, Conrad I, were both having children in the county, and both had wives named, "Elisabeth."  The earlier children show the mother as "Eva Elisabetha," while the younger ones have mother, "Elisabeth."  I have taken this to be the difference between our subject's children and those of his father.  This difference also coincides with the children known to have moved to Ohio with Conrad II.  However, the possibility remains that I did not make the cuttoff in the right place.  However, there is also the fact that Eva Elisabetha was too old to be the mother of the later children.  We would really like to find the birth and/or death record of all of Conrad II's children, to confirm who their parents were.

10.  Hester / Esther Ann CUPP, b. 6 Oct 1819; m. Jacob H. SHAFFER

Peter, Elizabeth Ann, Anna "Nancy," and Hester/Esther Ann are documented children of our subjects.

The rest are almost certainly our subjects' children based on circumstantial evidence, which includes...
•  After the death of Peter, his daughter, Rebecca, was living with Jacob and his wife.
•  Julia married the widowed father of Elizabeth's husand.
•  Julia and Conrad are listed next to each other in the 1840 census. 
•  Julia and Hester are listed next to each other in the 1850 census.

I believe we have been led astray by this compilation.  I have found zero evidence that "our" Conrad was born in Fayette Co., PA, or that he ever lived in Morrow Co., OH, or that he lived or died in Crawford Co.  There were CUPPs in Fayette Co., PA, and earlier, in Westmoreland and Somerset Cos., but they don't appear to have been "our" CUPPs.

There is no doubt, whatsoever, that our Conrad KOP/KOPP/CUPP is the one who married Elizabeth KRONINGER, and she is from Northampton [now Lehigh] Co., PA, where we find baptisms of two of their children and where we find both an older Conrad KOP/KOPP, his presumed father, who was closely associated with Elizabeth's father, Daniel KRONINGER, as an executor on Daniel's will, along with Elizabeth's brother, John KRONINGER.  Conrad & Elizabeth must have been married by early 1801, not in 1805, because son Peter was baptised in 1801 in PA (see below).

*In the 1820 Census, the third column is age class 16-18 and the fourth column is age class 16-25, which means any individual in column three is duplicated in column four.  So, for an accurate representation of the household, the number in column three should be subtracted from the number in column four. 
Both Conrad and Elizabeth are tallied in the wrong column, but surely these are our subjects.

Almost certainly, "Cupt" was a mistake in OCR.  Philip and Conrad are believed to be brothers — their Sergeant may have been Philip's father-in-law.

10.  Anon.  1880.  History of Morrow County, Ohio.  O.L. Baskin & Co., Historical Publishers, Chicago (online at Heritage Pursuit).  On p. 556, under the heading, "Gilead Township":
JACOB H. SHAFER, farmer and stock-raiser; P.O. Cardington; was born in Delaware, now Morrow Co., Ohio, about the year 1815, and lived there until he was 25 years of age; he then moved to Marion Co. and farmed there for fourteen years; thence to Cardington, where he followed teaming and farming, until 1868, when he came to his present place, and has lived there since.  Nov. 24, 1841, he married Miss Hester Ann Cupp; she was born in Pickaway Co., and moved to Crawford Co., and lived there until she was 17 years old [1836/37], when she went to Delaware Co., and lived there until her marriage... Mrs. Shafer's parents, Conrad and Elizabeth (Cruninger) Cupp, were natives of Pennsylvania; they married there, and moved to Pickaway Co. at an early day, and in 1824, they moved to Crawford Co., where they died.
Based on Delaware County marriage records, they were married in 1842.  Hester was born in Fairfield County, not Pickaway.  I have found no evidence that Hester's parents were ever in Pickaway or Crawford Co.  With certainty, Conrad bought land in Fairfield County in 1825, so he had not left the county in 1824 as stated.

If Jacob was the informant for this biographical sketch, which he most likely was, it's not uncommon for spouse's to have significant mis-conceptions about their in-laws.
