Children with Catharine KIRACOFE — born in Rockingham Co., VA:
1.  Henry Franklin CUPP, b. 1845/6 
2.  John W. CUPP, b. Mar 1850 
3.  Rebecca Frances CUPP, b. 20 Oct 1854
Children with Elizabeth BLAGG — born in Rockingham Co., VA:
4.  Elizabeth C. "Eliza" CUPP, b. 15 Dec 1865
5.  Luther or Lucy P. CUPP, b. Aug 1868
6.  Hugh S. CUPP, b. 1870/1
7.  M???? Josh? CUPP, b. 1874/5

I have no explanation why child No. 5 is Luther (a male) in 1870 and Lucy (a female) in 1880.  It could be enumerator error or the infant may have had  ambiguous genitalia, leading to a decision to change the child's gender as it developed (it happens).

Lucy should be Luther.  Is this census-taker error, or was Lucy of ambiguous gender as an infant?
