Children — born Lincoln [now Gaston?] Co., NC:

1. Barbara Rebecca STROUP, b. 1805; m. 23 Sep 1825, Thomas BLACK
2. Matthew Wallace STROUP, b. 5 Dec 1807
3. Nancy Talitha STROUP, b. 1810-15
4. Christopher Goodson 'Christy' STROUP, b. 7 Jul 1810
5. Jacob Cephus STROUP, b. 22 Nov 1815
6. Abner Albert STROUP, b. 5 Dec 1819
7. Isabelle "Ibby" STROUP, b. 1820-25 or 10 Sep 1828; d. 26 Apr 1901; m. Michael RUDISILL

The name "Talitha" is from an Aramaic phrase in the bible (Mark 5:41): "Talitha cumi," meaning roughly, "Damsel [I say unto thee], arise." Often combined to form the name, "Talithacumi" (and various misspellings).

These data indicate:

2 males 9 or under 1800-1810 = Letha? (b. ca. 1809)

*indexed as being in "Capt. Dellinger's District," but I see nothing on the page to indicate location beyond "Lincoln County."
Daniel and Mary are tallied in the wrong age classes, but surely these are our subjects.
