Is Arathiesa(?) a failed attempt at spelling Artemisia? Artemisia is the only name I can think of that comes close. Some secondary sources assert that Arathiesa(?) is the mother of the McFALL girls, but her age and birthplace argue against it. The only other McFALLs in Walker Co., GA, are Hiram (36, NC), Martha (10, GA), and Emily (6, GA), each living in a different household in either East or West Armuchee. A possible scenario here is that Hiram McFALL is a widower, and the four scattered McFALL children are his, with his late wife possibly a sister of either Andrew or Arathiesa. Listed two households from Benjamin F. STRAIN, son of Andrew's half-sister, Catharine (STROUP) STRAIN.

All other sources indicate William A. STROUP's father was born in South Carolina, not Mississippi — note that it's a virtual certainty that William was not the informant for this record and may not even have been present during the interview. The head-of-household, Thomas B. SMITH, is a nephew of Mary Ellen (SMITH) STROUP, that is, he's William A. STROUP's first cousin.

6. 1890 Census: the 1890 Census Population Schedules were destroyed.

7. WorldConnect / Ancestry World Trees (online at RootsWeb.com/Ancestry.com).

8. A file at "GenCircles.com" says Andrew died in Illinois, but was buried in Jasper Co., MO.
