2a.  1840 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com):  not found, and he should be in Madison Co., OH.  I did page-by-page checks of Stokes and Union Twps. 

2b.  Straub/Stroup/Etc. in the 1840 Census of Ohio:  based on the extracted records, there is no one in Ohio with even the potential to be our subject, that is, if we assume what we are looking for is a couple with these numbers:  100 010 - 100 010.
