"White Creek's" postings have a Johannes Schlup, born 1807 in ARCH, Canton Bern, Switzerland! Could be a connection? Johannes had 10 children, none of them named Alexander, and the last of them was born in 1849, unless Alexander was an 11th child? Johannes' family migrated to Massilon, Ohio, then to Urbana, Indiana.

There are Schlupps who once lived in Jefferson Township, Tuscarawas County, Ohio. Most of the early pioneers of Urbana, Indiana, migrated from Jefferson Township, Tuscarawas County, Ohio!

David Baker has traced the Johannes Schlup line back to 1685 in Arch, Switzerland, and to Albrecht Schluep. The village of ARCH is about 15 miles from the city of Bern. Is ARK the same as ARCH?
