Elisha STROUP
Jane M. McGINNIS
Liza Ann __?__

NOTICE: a patrilineal descendant of our subject is participating in the STRAUB Y-chromosome DNA Surname Project. Anyone who suspects he descends from our subject on a direct male line can support that connection with a DNA test. We do not yet know the true identity of Elisha's parents, but his DNA test results prove he is descended from Jacob STROUP I (1722-1804/5) of Lincoln [now Gaston] Co., NC.

Husband: Elisha STROUP
Birth: 1810-12, NC
Death: 1893
Occupation: farmer, iron worker
Y-DNA Haplogroup: I1-L592

Elisha is said to be the son of these parents, but he cannot be because Jacob's descendants are Y-DNA Haplogroup J2.
People in different haplogroups cannot have shared a common ancestor for thousands of years.
Father not: Jacob STROUP II (1771-1846)
Mother not: Hannah HOYLE (1763-1820)
Jacob STROUP II, paper grandson of Jacob STROUP I, has an NPE, so is not a biological grandson of Jacob I.

Wife-1: Jane M. McGINNAS / McGINNIS
