Child with Wife-1 — born in IN:

1. Mary STROUP, b. 1841/2; d. by 1860

Unless Julia is fibbing about her age in the censuses, she is simply too young to be this child's mother. The difference in age between Michael and Julia also argues for an earlier wife.

2. Lydia STROUP, b. 1847/8; d. by 1860

Julia is too young to be Mary's mother. The six-year gap between Mary and Lydia also suggests Mary may be the child of a prior wife, and the age difference between Michael and Julia further supports the probability that he had a prior wife.
