2. Catharine STRUB, b. ca. 1739; d. 1778-85, Jefferson Co., (W)VA; m1. Mr. MAY; m2. John DUST (1740-1807)

Our subject bought land in 1754 in Augusta Co., VA (then adjacent to Frederick County), so I wonder if the children really were born in Frederick County.

3a. Virginia Land, Marriage and Probate Records (Broderbund CD #513):

Name: Wm Stroup

Date: Feb 2, 1754

Location: Augusta Co., VA

Descripton: Grantee

Book-Page: 6-105

Property: 124 acres on Puck Creek of New River

Remarks: Patented 22 Aug 1753

This land record was originally published in "Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia, 1745-1800. Extracted from the Original Court Records of Augusta County" by Lyman Chalkley

The only other William STROUP known to be in the U.S. at the time was Johann Wilhelm STRAUB / STROUP in New York, so surely this one is our subject. (In 1754, Augusta and Fredrick Cos. were adjacent.)
