The LDS Ancestral File has Christian married to Rachael SCHAEFFER. Either Rachael and Regina are the same person or Christian had two wives or the Ancestral File is simply wrong because three baptismal records have her named Regina.

1810 PA Northampton [now Carbon] Co. Towamensing Twp. p. 76A/87/94 Christ Stroub 00100-20100-00

These data indicate:

No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

1 male 16-25 1784-1794 = Christian

2 females 9 or under 1800-1810 = Rebecca (b. 1809)
= Magdalene (b. 1807)

1 female 16-25 1784-1794 = Regina

The only other STRAUB in the township is Theobald/Dewald STRAUB.

4. 1820 Census Index and Digital Images (online at Ancestry.com): not found, but I cannot find Dewald STRAUB or Daniel STRAUB, either (meaning whatever page they were on was lost or the enumerator missed that part of the county).

5. 1830 Census Index and Digital Images (online at Ancestry.com; Image #13 of 24; extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):¤•

1830 PA Northampton Co. Allen Twp. p. 136 Christian Stroup 000 100 010 - 001 020 100

These data indicate:

No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

1 male 15-19 1810-1815 = Samuel (b. 1811/2)

1 male 50-59 1770-1780 = Christian

1 female 10-14 1815-1820 = Daughter

2 females 20-29 1800-1810 = Rebecca (b. 1809)
= Magdalene (b. 1807)

1 female 40-49 1780-1790 = Regina

Christian appears to be in the wrong age class, yet there can be little doubt these are our subjects.
