p. 339 William S. Stroope... is a native of this State, born in Clark County, in 1820, and is the fourth in a family of nine children born to Jacob and Mary (Kidwell) Stroope, natives of Kentucky and South Carolina, respectively. The father was a mechanic and moved from his native State to Louisiana, and afterward settled in Arkansas, seven miles west of Arkadelphia, in Clark County. He then resided in different localities after the death of his wife, which occurred in December, 1849, at the age of fifty-three years, and then went to Texas, where his death occurred in 1853, at the age of seventy-one years. During his residence in Clark County he became well known and universally respected. Both parents were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in which they were active workers. He was with Gen Jackson in the War of 1818, and was discharged at New Orleans. The paternal grand-father died in Clark County, at the age of eighty-four years; he was an agricultureist, and owned a good farm in Clark County...
