George STROUP
Maria Elisabetha EDELMANN
Catharine __?__
WARNING:  Secondary sources say the Elisabeth ATTLEMAN who married George STROUP was the daughter of Johann Peter EDELMANN & Maria Elisabetha HECKMEN, but their daughter was baptized in 1758.  I just don't buy that George's wife was that much older than he was, nor do I buy that she married first at age 35+ — not impossible, but extremely unusual, and unusual claims require substantial proof.

"Boston" is a variation of "Bastian," short for Sebastian.  People assert that Boston is Elizabeth's brother.  I have no problem with that because the bondsman is most often a brother.  But based on that presumed relationship, it is said they are the Elizabeth and Boston EDELMANN who were the children of Joh. Peter EDELMANN & Maria Elisabetha HECKMAN, and that's where the rub comes in because she was baptized in 1758.  But Joh. Peter EDELMANN had five brothers, so any of them could have also had a son and daughter named Elizabeth and Boston.  And the bondsman may not be Elizabeth's brother.  He could be her first cousin, uncle, or father.  I don't doubt that this Elizabeth ETTLEMAN/ATTLEMAN is related to Joh. Peter EDELMANN, I just don't see that she has been proven to be his daughter; and given how much argues against her being his daughter, there's good reason not to just blindly accept it.

These data indicate:
No. & Sex  Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred
1 male 9 or under 1790-1800 = Son B
1 male 10-15 1784-1790 = ?
1 male 26-44 1755-1774 = George
1 female 10-15 1784-1790 = Daughter A
1 female 16-25 1774-1784 = Elizabeth?
1 female 45 or over in or bef. 1755 = Elizabeth? (bap. 1758)  or Elizabeth's mother?
There are so many ways to read this record...  If we are to accept that George's wife is the daughter of Joh. Peter EDELMANN who was baptised in 1758, then she has to be the older woman here, which means she is even older than we thought.  But if George's wife is the younger adult female, the whole scenario becomes reasonable; that is, his wife was born in or just later than 1774, and George was born in or just before 1774 — exactly the right ages to be marrying in 1793.
