the number in column three from the number in column four, you can create

Are these really our subjects? George and son, Jacob, are in the
wrong age-classes, and George's initial is wrong in the record (unless
he is Johan George, which is certainly possibly). And who is the
little girl? But George is supposed to be here, and this record is
the only possibility, so either this record is our subject or he was missed
in the census. Their unmarried daughter, Elizabeth, is living with
their married daughter, Sarah
Ann (STROUP) WHITNEY.

III.
[Here follow the Pennsylvania-German settlers in Seneca county, New
York, with county residence in Pennsylvania, as far as ascertained. This
does not always indicate that the person is from that so marked, but
that the surname given is extant in the county, as original settlers therein.
This prefatory note is necessary for a full understanding of Mr. Wilbers'
reference.]... |

Straub, George... |
What the editor states is simply that being on Mr. Wilber's list only means
that the settler had a German surname that is also found in Pennsylvania.
In other words, being named on this list is not proof that the settler
is from Pennsylvania although, as it happens, our subject was born
in Pennsylvania. George is the only STRAUB/STROUP on the list, though
he is not the only one to have lived in Fayette.
14. Macomb County Early Pioneer Histories (online at the
Macomb County MIGenWeb site):
George Stroup
George Stroup of Pennsylvania, located in Macomb County in 1834.
His sons, George, Jacob, and Daniel also were pioneers,
locating land in this county. George Stroup died in 1858. |
15. Anon. 1882. History of Macomb County, Michigan.
M.A. Leeson & Co., Chicago (online at HeritageQuest at Genealogy.com):
| p. 775 |
JACOB STROUP was born March 26, 1811,
in Seneca County, N.Y.; his father was George Stroup, a native of
Pennsylvania, of German descent; his mother was Susan Rigel Stroup,
also born in Pennsylvania and of German descent; they moved to the State
of New York in 1796; his mother died in New
York State in 1825, leaving a family of thirteen
children: one of the children died in New York State in 1833; five children
moved to Michigan in 1827 and 1828; his father married again and moved
to Michigan, in 1834, with a family of seven
children; of this family seven are now living — three sons and four daughters.
George Stroup located in Macomb Township, Section 10, southeast quarter;
took up 240 acres of land, where he lived until his death, October 31,
1858, in his eighty-second year... |
It's doubtful George & Susanna were even married as early as 1796,
but if so and if they moved to NY in 1796, then our subject is not the
George STROUP in the 1800 census of Northumberland Co., PA.
