Sources (n.b., Mifflin Co. was formed in 1789 from Cumberland and Northumberland Cos.; Union Twp. was formed in 1790 from Armagh Twp.):

1. Marriage Record:

2. Census Index: U.S. Selected Counties, 1790 (Broderbund CD-311): not found. The only David STROUP indexed on this CD is in Northampton [now Lehigh] Co., PA, and he does not appear to be our subject (has two sons and no daughters). On the other hand, he's the right age and the tallies in these early censuses were often none too accurate.

8. 1850 Census Every-Name-Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com): David not found, as expected, and there is no elderly STROUP widow in the county, so not unexpectedly, David's wife appears also to be deceased.
