John Wade Loofbourrow was born to Wade and Sarah Loofborough in 1746. He married Mary Haff or Hoff on 10 Sep 1767 in Pennsylvania and was a veteran of the Revolutionary War as a soldier from PA (Capt. James Young's Co., 8th BN, Col. Abraham Smith, 1778, 5th Class, Cumberland Co. PA). The family moved to present day Harrison Co. WV about 1785 (Clarksburg area) where he was a Baptist minister. War veterans were given parcels of land in Ohio, so he emigrated to Waterloo, present day Fayette Co. Ohio in 1803 and organized a Baptist church there. His Will is dated 15 Dec 1808 (Circleville book 1 page 12) and he died on 13 Jan 1814 and was buried in Messmore Cemetery at Waterloo. The cemetery was flooded about 1967 for Deer Creek Lake and the remains were relocated to New Holland Cemetery south of Waterloo.
