Mr. SELLERS
Elizabeth STROUP

Partner: Mr. SELLERS
Presumed descendant of George SELLERS, who moved from PA to Lincoln [now Gaston] Co., NC, ca. 1800.

Liaison:

Subject: Elizabeth "Lizzy / Lizzie" STROUP
Birth: 10 Dec 1851, Gaston Co., NC
Death: 24 Jul 1910, Gaston Co., NC
Occupation: homemaker, farm laborer
Other Partners: identity(ies) unknown
Father: Abner Albert STROUP
Mother: Lydia BAKER

Child — born in Cherryville Twp., Gaston Co., NC:

1. Lawson Sidney STROUP I, b. Oct 1879? or 27 Dec 1879?

• Lawson does not appear in the 1880 census with Elizabeth, so was he really born in 1879?
• DNA testing of a patrilineal descendant of Lawson Sidney has shown him to be a SELLERS, related to the George SELLERS linked above, so it's a virtual certainty that Lawson was fathered by one of the males in the SELLERS households surrounding Elizabeth in the 1880 census.
. Family Finder (a-DNA) testing of this same individual supports that Elizabeth is one of the Gaston Co., NC, STROUPs.

Other children of Elizabeth STROUP, father unknown:

2. Mary Ellen STROUP, b. Jan 1884 or 1 Oct 1881
3. [Charles] Charley / Charlie Melvin STROUP, b. Oct 1886 or 14 May 1884
4. [Verna] Vernie Jane STROUP, b. Sep 1887 or 13 Jan 1888; d. 7 Aug 1964

Y-DNA testing of a patrilineal descendant of Charles Melvin could determine at least his father's surname. Unfortunately, this avenue is not open to Elizabeth's daughters.

Grandchild:

. [Caroline] "Carry / Carrie" STROUP, b. May 1891, NC
