George STROUP
Elizabeth Jane LAYMAN

Please Note: George's patrilineal paper trail leads to the 1711 Palatine immigrant to New York, Johannes STRAUB. An alleged patrilineal great-grandson of George has been Y-DNA tested at SMGF, and he is not a DNA match with a patrilineal descendant of Johannes, one with a solid paper trail. Either we are looking at an NPE or there's been a mistake in the paper trail. I urge patrilineal male descendants of George to be Y-DNA tested to help uncover where the genetic disconnect may have taken place — or whether we have a mistake in paper genealogy.

George Stroup Elisabeth Laymon 1 Sep 1879 Bk. 4, p. 90

How can this date be correct if George and Elizabeth are still single in the 1880 census (see below)? The 1900 and 1910 censuses indicate a marriage in 1884/5.

_____ Hannah 34 F W Keeping House Ireland

Stroup George 16 M W New York

Silas is said to be George's uncle, so either Silas was Betsey's brother or Hannah was Betsey's sister, which at least gives us some hope of identifying Betsey.
