John's parents were in the 1820/30/40/50/60 censuses of Rockingham Co.,
so surely John was born in Rockingham Co., not Augusta Co.

3. 1860 Census Images (online at Ancestry.com; Image #393 of 578): Burke's Mill P.O., North Sub-Division, Augusta Co., VA, p. 918, PN 106, 699/704, enumerated 25 Jul 1860 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

F V " 10 M "

M L " 7 M "

E M S " ⁷/₁₂ F "

J C Cupp 16 M F Laborer "

E Rawley 72 F 200 Pa

This enumerator's initials were very hard to decipher; I cannot confidently distinguish "L" from "S." E. RAWLEY is almost certainly Lydia's mother.

4. 1870 Census Images (online at Ancestry.com; Image #485-486 of 739): Mount Sidney P.O., 3rd District, Augusta Co., VA, p. 364A, PN 31, 211/213, enumerated 3-4 Aug 1870 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

Cupp William R 1 M W Virginia

Elizabeth RAWLEY is almost certainly Lydia's mother.

The middle initials are difficult to decipher. I agree with the IGI that Martin's is "L" and Ellen's is "F." We all three agree that John's is "S." I agree with the LDS that George's is "E." I'm uncertain about Daniel's, but it looks more like "L" than "T."
