Lawson Sidney STROUP
Mary Essie BRIDGES |
Husband: Lawson Sidney "Doc" STROUP
Birth (date according to 1900 Census): Oct 1879, Cherryville Twp., Gaston Co., NC Birth (date according to family bible and WWI registration card): 27 Dec 1879, Cherryville Twp., Gaston Co., NC Death: 30 Mar 1924, Ft. Lauderdale, Broward Co., FL Occupation: farmer Y-DNA Haplogroup: R1b1 Father: Mr. SELLERS Mother: Elizabeth STROUP We have three records giving our subject a birthyear of 1879, although the months do not agree. We also have the fact that our subject was not in the 1880 census with his mother. Thanks to these discrepancies, we can never be entirely certain which date is correct — or, for that matter, that Lawson is Elizabeth's biological son. Elizabeth may have adopted him, after the 1880 census. However, an adoption seems highly unlikely as an unmarried woman is not a prefered candidate for adopting an orphaned child. It is far more likely that, as an unwed mother, she was hiding Lawson's existence from the census taker. |
