Johann Pieter STRAUB, a.k.a. Peter STRAUB I
Anna Maria Barbara HOFFMAN |
DNA testing has united descendants of our subject with a descendant of Martin
STRAUB (1616-1676), of Gemmingen and Grossgartach, Heilbronn, Wuerttemberg.
There is no doubt whatsoever that these test subjects have a near common
ancestor, so we have discovered the origin of the 1733 immigrant to Philadelphia,
who became the major progenitor of STRAUB / STROUP in the
United States as well as ancestor
of President Barrack OBAMA!
It appears that our subject is the Johann Pieter STRAUB (b. 18 Feb 1695 in Grossgartach) who was a grandson of Martin STRAUB through his son, Johann/Hans Adam STRAUB. We do have some inconsistencies on paper that do not make for a perfect fit, however; and while I don't seriously doubt that we have connected the immigrant to his origin, the fact is that the DNA test results only prove these are the same family. Martin STRAUB had seven sons (not to mention other male kin), leaving the door open to the possibility of there having been more than one Johann Pieter STRAUB about our subject's age. There is a minor inconsistency in that, based on his marriage record, the Grossgartach Johann Pieter had wife, Anna Barbara, while, based on the ship's manifest, the immigrant's wife was named Maria Barbara. We can solve this one by assuming her full name was Anna Maria Barbara (having three given names is not at all unusual for a German). Another minor problem is that the Grossgartach records show Johann Pieter & Anna Barbara with four surviving children, but they immigrated with only two. This can be explained by two having died without being recorded in church records, possibly because they died en route to the New World. But two other matters are harder to reconcile… The immigrant had a son, Peter STRAUB II, who died 15 Sep 1804, age 79 years, 10 months, and 7 days [tombstone in St. Peter's Cemetery, Freeburg, Snyder Co., PA]. His age at death places his birth on 8 Nov 1724. The problem is that birth records in Grossgartach show Johann Pieter STRAUB, son of Johann Pieter & Anna Barbara (HOFFMAN) STRAUB, as having been born on 4 Feb 1728. One further problem, pointed out by Garry Heagy, is that Anna Barbara (HOFFMAN) STRAUB (b. 29 Aug 1696) was too old to be the mother of Johann Carl (b. 7 Mar 1744) — she would have been 47 years old. So, did our subject have a second, younger wife? Were Anna Barbara and Maria Barbara two different women? Or did Anna simply have an extraordinary span of fecundity? |

— born in Grossgartach, Heilbronn, Baden-Wuerttemberg:
1. Anna Elisabetha STRAUB, b. 5 Jan 1720; d. 26 Jan 1720, Grossgartach, Wuerttemberg 2. Johann Jacob STRAUB / STROUP I, b. 7 Jan 1722 3. Johann Georg STRAUB, b. 20 Dec 1724; died young? 4. Johann Pieter STRAUB II, b. 4 Feb 1728 [8 Nov 1724?] 5. Anna Barbara STRAUB, b. 20 Oct 1730; died young? — born in Philadelphia [now Berks] Co., PA:
Of the children born in the U.S., we have primary documentation only for Johann Carl. It seems odd that all the males would follow the German naming practice of having the same saint's name, Johann, except for Mathias Andreas. Still, a patrilineal descendant of Mathias Andreas has been DNA tested, and he is a match for this family. |
