WARNING: This page was initially built from files at WorldConnect, which I have tried to support with marriage and census records; however, there are some anomalies on this page that I have not resolved. Please pay attention to what is supported by evidence and what is not. This is not my STROUP line, so I may not get around to spending more time on it anytime soon.
