Isaac STROPES
Nancy NELSON
Mary __?__

Husband: Isaac STROPES
Birth: 24 Dec 1801 or 1802/3, PA
Death: aft. 1880
Occupation: teamster, laborer
Father: John STROPES, Sr.
Mother: Eleanor FOX

Marriage-1: 18 Sep 1825, Jackson Co., OH

Wife-1: Nancy NELSON
Birth: 1805
Death: 1838

Marriage-2: ca. 1839

Wife-2: Mary "Polly" __?__
Birth: ca. 1810-15 {1850: 28, VA; 1860: 49, VA; 1870: 56, VA; 1880: 72, VA}
Death: aft. 1880

It's hard to know which of Mary's ages is correct, but the ones making her older are probably nearer the truth.

Children with Nancy NELSON — born in Franklin Twp., Jackson Co., OH:

1. Lorenzo Dow STROPES, b. 1824/5
2. Joseph STROPES, b. 1825-30
3. Hannah STROPES, b. 16 May 1827
4. Elizabeth "Betsy" STROPES, b. 1835/6
5. Rebecca STROPES, b. 1838

If Nancy's death-year is correct (it appears to be from a tombstone), then Rebecca is most likely her daughter, not Mary's.

6. Harriet STROPES, b. 1840

Polly's age is definitely written 28 and Betsey's definitely 12, which both have to be incorrect. Also, Betsey was born in Ohio, not Virginia. Some secondary sources have mis-read son "James" as "Isaac" — not surprisingly because this enumerator's handwriting is abominable (oddly so because he was obviously skilled with a pen, but simply chose to be inscrutable).
