Children — born in Lincoln [now Gaston] Co., NC:

1. Caroline STROUP, b. 1822/3
2. Rufus STROUP, b. 1824/5
3. (Son A) STROUP, b. 1825-30; deceased by 1840
4. (Daughter A) STROUP, b. 1825-30; married or deceased by 1850
5. Johannes STROUP, b. 1826/28
6. William Maxwell STROUP, b. 1827/28
7. Wesley W. STROUP, b. 23 Jul 1830
8. Cephas STROUP, b. 9 Feb 1832
9. Leodice "Diza / Disy / Dicy / Dicey" STROUP, b. 13 Jan 1834
10. Mary Rebecca "Polly" STROUP, b. 1835/6
11. Emily Frances STROUP, b. 1837/8
12. Dorcas Louisa STROUP, b. 30 Apr 1845

It's hard to know exactly what name was intended for Dicey. The given name, "Laodice," is found in Greek mythology (e.g., a daughter of Priam of Troy) and was historically common as a given name among Greeks — and as a Greek place name under various spellings (e.g., it appears in scripture as Greek place name, "Laodicea"). Bottom line is that it was not an uncommon name in the South in the 19th-century.
