These data indicate:

No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

2 males 4 or under 1825-1830 = Jesse (b. 1828/9)
= David (b. 1826/7)

1 male 5-9 1820-1825 = Jacob (b. 1822/3)

1 male 10-14 1815-1820 = Son? A

1 male 30-39 1790-1800 = David (b. 1795/6)

1 female 4 or under 1825-1830 = Mary (b. 1829/30)

1 female 5-9 1820-1825 = Daughter? B

1 female 10-14 1815-1820 = Daughter? A

1 female 20-29 1800-1810 = Polly (b. 1803/4)

Given the age difference between David & Mary and given the older children in the home, it appears that David had a prior wife. On the other hand, I cannot find an earlier marriage record for David, nor can I find him as head-of-household in the 1820 census. Listed next to William STROUP on one side; and, in the other direction, listed next to David's father, John STROUP, Sr., who is listed next to Joseph STROUP; the list is not alphabetized.

These data indicate:

1 female 30-39 1800-1810 = Polly (b. 1803/4)

1 female 50-59 1780-1790 = mother-in-law?

1 female 70-79 1760-1770 = mother?

1 person employed in agriculture

David's father died in the 1830s and his mother was born in the 1760s, so the eldest woman is almost certainly John's widowed mother. The woman in her 50s could be Polly's mother. They are listed three lines from David's brother, Joseph STROUP.

4. 1850 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com; Image #3 of 16): Stokes Twp., Madison Co., OH, p. 242A, enumerated 14 Nov 1850, official enumeration date 1 Jun 1850 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):¤

Jesse    " 21 M Farmer Ohio

Mary     " 20 F Ohio

Alfred   " 18 M Farmer Ohio

Rebecca " 11 F Ohio

William " 9 M Ohio

Both Davids are indexed as head-of-household, but there's no earthly reason for the junior David to have been made head-of-household, so he should not have been given his own visitation numbers, not unless he is truly living next door, in which case I would suspect Mary is his wife.

It appears William is a widower and Wilbert is his son.
