| NOTICE:
For decades it has been widely accepted on paper that Jacob STROUP I (1724-1804), of Lincoln [now Gaston] Co., NC, was a grandson of our subject, through our subject's son Adam. DNA testing (via the STRAUB Y-chromosome DNA Surname Project) has proven that Jacob I is, in fact, the son of Johann Pieter STRAUB I, the 1733 immigrant to Philadelphia. For decades is has also been widely accepted on paper that Jacob STROUP II (1771-1846), of Lincoln Co., NC, then Cass [now Bartow] Co., GA, was a grandson of Jacob I, through Jacob I's son, Adam. DNA testing has show this connection to be invalid, and it appears very likely that Jacob II was, himself, an immigrant. One might think the door is till open for Jacob II to be descended from our subject, except that Jacob II signed his marriage bond in clear German script and spelled his surname, "Straüb." That leaves us with no descendants for Mathias, beyond the children of his son, Adam. The STRAUB/STROUP DNA project seeks a patrilineal (direct male line) descendant of our subject, Mathias STROOP, to be DNA tested, someone who does not descend from Jacob STROUP I or Jacob STROUP II of NC. Because the results of such a test are important for identifying our subject and his descendants, the project is willing to subsidize $100 towards such a test (viz., 67 markers at FamilyTreeDNA, which would cost $269 - $100 = $169), a considerable bargain. If you feel you are, or know of, a suitable candidate, please contact the project admin for further details and conditions. |
