Solomon STRAUB
Mary __?__

WARNING: I have no proof that the Solomon STRAUB in the 1830 and 1840 censuses was the husband of the Widow Mary STRAUB in the 1850 census. This connection definitely still needs to be proven; however, all other STRAUB/STROUP families in Chapman Township have been accounted for, except for Solomon and Mary. I would be more confident if there were a better match between the censuses, but census enumerators did make errors, and deaths do cause disruption in families.
