4637 SALOME HOVIS (1205) b. 1861, m. 1883, Henry Stroup. Her son:   Frank Stroup...  12186 ...  b  1884.

Can't imagine where she got the dates, but experience has shown that Rucker's dates were often wrong, sometimes wildly so (off as much as 20 years).  If you're guessing, you ought to at least warn people you are guessing.
