Leonard JACOBS
Maria Minerva STROPES

Husband: Leonard JACOBS
Birth: 7 Sep 1818, Jackson Co., OH
Death: 24 Dec 1886, Cainesville, Harrison Co., MO
Occupation: farmer
Father: John JACOBS (1788-1864)
Mother: Susannah TREXLER (1787-1862)

Marriage: 13 Jan 1842, Jackson Co., OH

Wife: Maria Minerva STROPES
Birth: 1821-23, OH
Death: 1881, Harrison Co., MO
Occupation: homemaker

Some secondary sources show these parents for Minerva, but Minerva was born before Henry & Tamer were married (in 1824).
Father doubtfully: Henry STROPES
Mother doubtfully: Tamer NELSON
Henry & Tamer do have two daughters born 1825-30 whose identities are unknown, so if Minerva were born later she could be their daughter, but it's unusual (in the extreme) for a woman to give an elevated age in the censuses.

It seems more likely to me that Minerva is the daughter of John STROPES & Eleanor FOX, who also have an unidentified daughter, but their unidentified daughter is in the age class 1820-25, as Minerva would be:
Father possibly: John STROPES, Sr.
Mother possibly: Eleanor FOX

It's going to take stronger evidence (e.g., a will or family bible) to prove the identity of Minerva's parents.
