Listed two households from David STROUB (æ 36).  It's hard to figure the relationship between the two David's because they're only one year apart in age.

10.  John W. Jordan, Edgar Moore Green, & George T. Ettinger, eds.  1905.  Historic Homes and Institutions and Genealogical and Personal Memoirs of the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania.  Lewis Publ. Co., New York (excerpts online at Karen Smith Furst's web site):
DAVID H. STRAUB, who is now living retired in Lehighton, but who for many years was industriously and successfully identified with agricultural pursuits in Carbon county, belongs to one of the early families of the Lehigh Valley, of Than origin.

His grandfather, Theodore [Theobald] Straub, was born in what is known as Dry Land, a little hamlet located between Easton and Bethlehem.  He was an extensive distiller, and a man of considerable force of character and local influence in his day, being widely known as an industrious, upright and worthy citizen.  His family numbered five sons:  Emanuel, Daniel, John, David and Thomas, and three daughters.

David Straub, the father of D.H. Straub, was born at Dry Land, and in his youth became familiar with the duties and labors that fall to the lot of the agriculturist.  After attaining man's estate he continued to follow the pursuit to which he had been reared, and owned and cultivated one hundred and thirty-six acres of valuable land.  During his active life he amassed considerable property both in real estate and personality.  In all of his business relations with his fellow men he was honorable and trustworthy, and commanded the respect and good will of all with whom he became associated, either in business or social relations.  He married Polly Oldwine, and they became the parents of eleven children:  Charles, Thomas, Daniel, Levi, John, David H., Mary, Harriet, Josiah, Emeline and Amelia, but David H. and the daughters are the only members of that once numerous household now living.

David H. Straub was born in Towamensing township, Carbon county, Pennsylvania, July 20, 1833.  He was reared and educated there, and in his youth learned the bricklayer's trade, which he followed for five years, from 1851 until 1856.  He then turned his attention to farming and for thirty years resided upon a farm, continuing to make it his home until 1886, when he removed to Lehighton.  Here he owns good city property in addition to his rich and productive tract of land of two hundred acres in East Penn township, Carbon county.  He is a worthy citizen of the borough of Lehighton, and that he has the confidence and trust of his fellow townsmen is indicated by the fact that he was chosen by popular vote for the office of borough treasurer.  He has also been treasurer for the fire and water companies of Lehighton, and while residing in East Penn township he filled several local offices.  His religious faith is indicated by his membership in the Lutheran church, in which he has also occupied several official positions.

Mr. Straub has been twice married.  In 1856 he wedded Miss Drucilla Harter, and they became the parents of a daughter, Annie, who is now the wife of Mr. Hoppis.  In 1872 Mr. Straub wedded Mrs. Amelia Hawk, who by her first marriage had two sons, Emery and David.  The former resides at East Penn, and the latter is a minister of the Lutheran church in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania.  By the second marriage of Mr. Straub there are two children:  Rev Harvey L. Straub, a minister of the Lutheran church, at Berneville, now stationed in Berks county, Pennsylvania; and Arville D., the wife of Rev. Wilmer Heldt, pastor of Lutheran church at Centerville, Northampton county, Pennsylvania.
