Jacob STROOP
Elizabeth MOORE

QUESTION: is this Jacob the same man as Hans Jakob STRUB, meaning he had a prior wife (m. 1796).

Husband: Jacob STRUBE / STROOP / STROUP
Birth: 1765-74 or 1777, Germany
Death: 21 Dec 1819, Rutherford Co., TN
Disposition: buried Stroop Cemetery, Rutherford Co., TN
Father: Johannes STRUBE
Mother: Catharina __?__

Secondary sources say Jacob was born in 1777 in Germany, but the censuses say 1765-74, and Hans Jakob was baptised 1771, which would fit nicely.

Death: 7 Aug 1840, Rutherford Co., TN

*In the 1820 Census, the third column is age class 16-18 and the fourth column is age class 16-25; therefore, any individual in column three is duplicated in column four. By subtracting the number in column three from the number in column four, you can create an age class "19-25."
