Mother: Susanna B. "Susan" WOLFE

Marriage:

Children — born in VA [presumably now WV]:

1. (Son A) CUPP, b. 1835-40; d. by 1850
2. Solomon CUPP, b. 1838/9
3. Amanda CUPP, b. 1840/1
4. Sarah C. CUPP, b. 1843/4
5. Martin CUPP, b. 1846/7
6. Eve CUPP, b. 1847/8/9

Our subjects are said to have a son, John W. CUPP, b. 1840, who married Christine RINGER. While a son that age does appear with our subjects in the 1840 census, no such son appears with our subjects in the 1850 census (or 1860 census), so I don't see how he can be their son.

Leonard is, of course, John's father. They are living five doors down from the Harrison HAGEN family, with whom is living a Jane CUPP (æ 20, b. VA, unmarried servant). She doesn't appear to be John & Mary's daughter, but she is undoubtedly kin of some sort.
