| Node Chart for the Descendants of John
Peter STROUP (1760s-1857) of Wythe Co., VA
and Anthony NEWHOUSE I (c1706-1762/3) of Philadelphia, PA |
| The STRAUB
Y-chromosome DNA Surname Project has three members with paper descents
from John Peter STROUP of Wythe Co., VA, each from a different son of John
Peter. Their test results do not remotely match, indicating they
cannot possibly have a near common ancestor and, thus, that at least two
of them have an NPE in their lineage. It turns out that one of them
(viz., #130123), the descendant of son John, matches descendants
of Johann Pieter STRAUB I, the 1733 immigrant to Philadephia, so he's the
genuine STROUP, while the others bear the NPEs.
The individual with the paper descent through son Jacob (viz., #34371) has a strong DNA match to members of a NEWHOUSE family (originally German NEUHAUS) tested for the NEWHOUSE Surname Project. There is a place in this STROUPE individual's paper lineage that I had suspected was an adoption, even before these DNA test results returned. Specifically, there is reason to believe Jacob Jackson STROUP was adopted and, in the chart below, I'm assuming that's where the NPE took place, though that assumption may not be correct. The descendant through son, Peter (viz., #24073), has the M222+ SNP mutation making him the "Northwest Irish" subclade of R1b. He has some near matches with surname DOHERTY/DOUGHERTY, and his ancestors have some nearby families of that surname in the censuses, so we may have found his true surname, though more work needs to be done to prove it. |
| With the testing of enough cousins, a genetic "tree" of a progenitor's descendants can be constructed showing where in each lineage mutations have occurred. Such a tree can be extremely useful in proving (or debunking) paper genealogies. The table below is a way of representing such a tree. It is very much like the table I use to represent Haplogroup R1b. Both tables are, in fact, representations of cladograms, like the Y-DNA cladogram. I'm using tables, instead of graphical "trees" simply because the former are much easier to create and edit (I don't want to have to open a drawing program every time I work on them or upload a new JPG every time I've changed it). |
| #24073 has generously offered to fund the testing of another descendant
of John Peter, one not descended on the lines already tested.
This leaves us with one more line from John Peter to test, namely that
of George. Others desirable testees
for this individual would be a descendant of Samuel Patton's brother, Russell;
one of George V's brothers,
William
or James J. The offer is to
fully fund a 37-marker test (value $149). For details and to
accept the offer, please contact the
project
admin. Acceptance of the test subject is at the discretion of
the donor, the major criterion being confidence in the accuracy of the
test subject's paper lineage.
Your project admin urges #34371 to make a similar offer, with the same first priority of testing a descendant of John Peter's other son, George, and the next priority being to test a descendant of John Jacob, brother of William, and the brothers of William Henry, namely Lee Hulbert and Frank B. It is also a priority for the NEWHOUSEs that they test patrilineal descendants of the other two sons of Anthony NEWHOUSE I, namely, Jonathan and Jacob, to determine whether Anthony was DYS439=13 or 14. Lastly, I recommend that this STROUP and STROUPE, plus the matching NEWHOUSEs, all upgrade to 67 markers. We have a difficult knot to unravel here, and the more markers we test, the easier it will be to do and the more confidence we can have in the result. |
| Members of the NEWHOUSE project have generously shared their results and lineages. These lineages show they have a common ancestor in Anthony NEWHOUSE I of Philadelphia, PA. Not insignificantly, one of Anthony's sons, namely Isaac NEWHOUSE I, moved to Virginia, first to Fauquier County, then to Wythe County where, in 1795, he bought land adjacent to a STROUP! This STROUP has to be John Peter STROUP as the only STROUP known to be in Wythe County who was old enough to be owning land at the time. |
| The chart below is set up to explore the NPE issues for both of John
Peter STROUP's paper descendants with the NPEs. As mentioned above,
both individuals need to test cousins to determine the location of the
NPE in their lineages. For the Irish individual, we have as yet only
a hint at who his actual patrilineal ancestor might be, but for the NEWHOUSE
individual, we are much further along and are ready to construct a working
hypothesis of his connections.
For this chart, I am making the assumption that Jacob Jackson STROUP was adopted. As there was only one adult male NEWHOUSE known to be living in Wythe or Washington Co. at the time Jacob was conceived, namely, John4 NEWHOUSE (Isaac II3, Isaac I2, Anthony1), I'm assuming he was Jacob Jackson's father. This assumption may not be correct, so please consider this chart a working hypothesis, a tool to explore this queston. With enough testing, we should be able to sufficiently support this connection to be confident it is the correct one. |
