William [B?] CUPP
Letitia Rutter JENKINS

WARNING: Many secondary sources make our subject the son of Jacob & Sibby (BREEDING) CUPP. This connection has to be an error, for reasons I give on their page. Please also see my disambiguation page for Jacob CUPP/COPP/KOPP. Some secondary sources make our subject the absent husband of Widow "Savanna Jane" CUPP in the 1850 Census of Hawkins Co., TN, but how can his wife be a widow in 1850 when he didn't die until 1894? She is, in fact, the widow of John W. CUPP.

Husband: William [B?] CUPP
Birth: 21 Feb 1813, KY — Lewis Co. or Mason Co., KY
Death: 7 Apr 1894, Jackson Twp., Grundy Co., MO
Disposition: buried Tolle Cemetery, Jackson Twp., Grundy Co., MO
Occupation: farmer
Father: Phillip KOPP / CUPP
Mother: Hannah MURPHY

Most secondary sources give William middle intial, "B." So far, I've seen no record giving him any middle intial.
One secondary source calls him, "George William," like his son. So far, I've not seen a record calling him George.

Marriage: 3 Oct 1838, Mason Co., KY

Wife: Letitia / Lettitia / Leticia Rutter JENKINS
Birth: 1817, KY
Death: 1909, Grundy Co., MO
Disposition: buried Tolle Cemetery, Jackson Twp., Grundy Co., MO
Occupation: homemaker
Parents: born in MD
Probable Kin: JENKINS

The correct English spelling is Letitia; Leticia is a Spanish/Portuguese spelling; Lettitia, Lettisha, etc. are misspellings.
Several secondary sources give her middle name "Rutter." I have seen no record with this name, but I'm going along with it.

Children — born in Mason Co., KY:

1. Hannah M. CUPP, b. 1843/4 — middle name said to be "Margaret," but might it be "Murphy"?
2. Sarah S. CUPP, b. 1845/6 or Jul 1848 or 1851
3. George William CUPP, b. Jan 1850
4. John W. CUPP, b. 19 Nov 1852; d. 20 Mar 1892, Grundy Co., MO; bur. Tolle Cem.
5. Millard Walter CUPP, b. 24 Apr 1856
6. Martha Ann CUPP, b. 1859

William is the only CUPP in the county. Listed next to Hezekiah JENKINS.

Listed two households from Hezekiah JENKINS (b. 1800, MD), who is too young to be Letitia's father, but who could be her brother.

It's definitely Millard, not Willard.

5. 1870 Census Index/Images (online at Genealogy.com; Image #48 of 74 — indexed "Clupp"): Trenton P.O., Trenton Twp., Grundy Co., MO, Roll 777, p. 388B, PN 48, 342/347, enumerated 22 Aug 1870, official enumeration date 1 Jun 1870 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):¤•

____ Martha A 10 F W Ky

It's definitely Millard, not Willard. The enumerator initially wrote "Cupp," then someone squeezed an "l" in between the "C" and "u." It also looks like the enumerator initially gave Letitia middle initial "R," then changed it to "B" — or the other way around.

Surey the listing of "ELLIS, Letitia R." is a mistake.
