  • Notes 
    • Immigrated to Willoughby, Ontario in 1795 from Lancaster PA with his wife Eve (Byers/Beyer) Shoup.
      .
    • From "Memoirs Garden" by Annie (Shoup) Brewe, a passage written by Rev. Willis Shoup:

      Before writing Grandfather's life, it might be stated that two brothers of his grandfather came from Pennsylvania to Canada at the same time that Christian Shoup came. They remained only a short time, and then returned to Pennsylvania. One remained in that state, Elias by name, while the other went west to, I think, Missouri, and eventually became the founder of a Community Sect. Grandfather visited this colony in all and was well pleased with their sincerity and thrift.

      On an 1811 Thomas Ridout Map of the Township of Willoughby are
