| These two births are only just nine months apart,
which is hard to believe. Yet, Simon could not have been born in
1807, just four months after Henry. Nor could William have been born
in 1909, less than two months before Claiborne. The answer, I believe,
is that this William is not the son of our subjects. Based on the
censuses, our subjects' son, William, was born in 1802/3. |

| *In the 1820 Census, the third column is
age class 16-18 and the fourth column is age class 16-25; therefore, any
individual in column three is duplicated in column four. By subtracting
the number in column three from the number in column four, you can create
an age class "19-25." |
Where are Harriet and Mary? Are they deceased? Or were they
missed? See 1830. The older males may be kin or hired help.
There were only eight households in the entire town. Also in New

| Daniel Scott's book, History of the Early Settlement of Highland
County, Ohio (compiled in 1890 from earlier newspaper articles) gives
an interesting and lengthy account of the marriage in March, 1803 of Michael
Stroup and "Polly" Walker in New Market (pages 81-82). Michael
was a hat maker from PA who came to Highland county in 1801. He carried
an 18 gallon copper kettle on his head along with the tools and wool to
make hats. His brother, Anthony Stroup, also settled here.
This information is also found in History of Ross and Highland Counties,
Ohio (1880), although neither mentions Simon. |
11. Email from Larry Stroup:
| You have Matilda's birthdate listed as 2 Feb 1839. I have
been to the Stroup Cemetery in Dodsonville and have seen her grave stone.
It lists this date as the day she died, and her age as 15 years, 11 months,
and 4 days. |
