I really can't read the 4th letter of George's surname (the descender of a "g" on the previous line blots it out), but it certainly could be "r." Obviously, the indexer thought so, too, though the indexer can be faulted for not transcribing the entry verbatim. The major online databases (see sources below) indicate that there is no such surname as STORUB, so in the end, the indexer is probably right and I agree that the surname probably should have been STROUB. I also cannot read the second letter of Robert's surname, it's just a blob. It looks more like "o" or "a," than "e," and not at all like "u" or "i," so I will go along with the indexer and say, WASSON, which is far and away the most common of the three surnames (viz., WASSON, WESSON, WOSSON).
