Child — born in PA, presumably in Bucks Co., PA, or Philadelphia Co., PA:

1. George W. STROUP, b. 1828/9

As Jacob died when George was a minor, there should be guardianship proceedings for him in Orphan's Court. A child was considered an "orphan" if their father died, even if their mother was still alive, a woman being deemed not capable of raising a child without male oversight.
