Looper Family History
Looper Name Meaning
Dutch: literally ‘runner’, an occupational name for a messenger or
for someone who made excursions into the woods. In New Netherland the
term Boschlooper was used to denote traders who went out
(sometimes literally by running) into the woods to intercept Indians
bringing furs to Fort Orange (now part of Albany, NY). The practice
was forbidden because of the use of coercion to secure a deal, as
happened especially when the trader was on horseback.
