10. (Daughter A) STROPES, b. 1835-40, d. by 1850
11. Zeralda STROPES, b. 17 Jan 1845

Some secondary sources give our subjects this daughter:
. Maria Minerva STROPES, b. 1821-23, OH
but unless Maria is inflating her age in the censuses (which women are not inclined to do), she was born before Henry & Tamer were married.

Adopted Child?

Is this child a daughter of Henry? Did Henry have three wives? Or is she a granddaughter or niece? Or is she Mary's daughter from her prior marriage, adopted by Henry and, thus, adopting his surname? This last seems the most likely.
. Margaret STROPES, b. 1860/1

Children with Mary MILLER:

12. Mary Magdalene STROPES, b. 31 Mar 1868
13. Martha STROPES, b. 31 Mar 1869
