Mother:  Anna Maria TROUTMAN
Marriage:
Wife:  Ms. MILLER?
Birth:  1790-94

Children:
— born in Ouachita Par., LA:

  6.  William H. STROOPE, Jr., b. 13 Mar 1819
  7.  (Son) STROOPE, b. 1820-25
  8.  (Son) STROOPE, b. 1820-25
  9.  Nancy Stephenson STROOPE, b. 25 Jun 1823
10.  Rachel Eliza Smiley STROOPE, b. 13 Sep 1825

14.  Savarce F. STROOPE, b. 1832/3
15.  Fountain Brown STROOPE, b. 23 Apr 1835

1808 to 1835 is a span of 27 years, pretty much the maximum span of fecundity for any woman and several years longer than average.  If William had one wife, which it appears he did, he married her young, which it appears he did (based on her ages in the censuses), and she produced children for her full span of fecundity.

As best I can find out, "Savarce" is a rare Spanish surname.

This is almost certainly a mis-reading of STROUPS, as his brothers are on the same lists with him.
