John H. STROUP
Barbara MASTERS

Husband: John H. STROUP

Death: 30 Apr 1851, Gaston Co., NC
Disposition: buried Stone-Hagar Cemetery, Henderson Clark Farm, Gaston Co., NC
Father: Jacob STROUP I
Mother: Nancy HAMBRIGHT

John is said to have died in 1851, but I don't find him in the 1840 or 1850 censuses, so I'm wondering if his tombstone hasn't been misread and that he really died in 1831. It's very easy to mis-read 3 vs. 5, especially on a weathered stone.

*In the 1820 Census, the third column is age class 16-18 and the fourth column is age class 16-25, which means any individual in column three is duplicated in column four. So, for an accurate representation of the household, the number in column three should be subtracted from the number in column four. If, after the subtraction, any individuals remain in column four, then they have to be age 19-25, thus creating a "new," more precise age class.
