| *In the 1820 Census, the third column is
age class 16-18 and the fourth column is age class 16-25; therefore, any
individual in column three is duplicated in column four. By subtracting
the number in column three from the number in column four, you can create
an age class "19-25." |
The teenage boy is too old to be their child — a brother, perhaps?
On p. 12, there is a Benjamin TUCKER, who is probably Mary's father.

can't find, and I did page-by-page checks of Sycamore Twp., Hamilton Co.,

still in Sycamore Twp., Hamilton Co., OH (our subjects are not living with
him).

Based on the age of William's wife, I really would have pegged William
for being older than Benjamin. Is the census off?

McKEE CEMETERY
This abandoned burying ground is on the old Alonzo
Sheets (more recently Joseph Richards) farm, on 250N about one and three-tenths
mile west of 250N & 400W, in Rochester Township, Fulton County, Indiana.
It is at the very back of a field about two city blocks north of the road.
Stones were read as found, not in any rows. Readings made in 1975...
Two other McKee families, living in Rochester Twp in 1850, near
the Anthony W. McKee household, and who were probably related, were: (1)
David
A. McKee b. 1816 Ohio, identified as a "miller" in 1860 census, m.
(by 1841) Sarah A., and it was this family, with whom Reubin
Stroup resided in 1850...
STROUP, Reuben, son of J. & M., d. Dec 14, 1853, ae 16y-5d
[NOTE: There is no clear certainty as to
the names of the parents of Reuben Strout. The name is spelled several
ways: Stroup, Stroub, Straub, Stroab and Strobe.]
Indiana Census 1840, includes: Samuel Stroup, in Elkhart
Co. Barnhart's History of Fulton Co Ind, p. 32, states that Samuel Stroub
was an early settler of Wayne Twp., Fulton Co., in 1840. Fulton Co Ind
Early Tract Book, shows that Samuel Stroab of Cass Co Ind purchased land
in Wayne Twp, 1841. Also Fulton Co Ind Commissioners Record "A", includes
the name of Samuel Stroub in the list of Petit Jurors for Sept. Term 1843.
And lastly, concerning the estate of Samuel Stroub, Admr., Jacob Shafer,
was appt'd Sept. 29, 1849, and Final Report was accepted July Term 1854
(Jean C. & Wendell C. Tombaugh, Fulton Co Ind Probate Docket "A", 1836-1856).
Martha Stroub, b.ca.1814 Penn, might have
been the mother of Reuben Stroup. Obviously, Martha first m. a Stroup,
and next Spencer Gill Dec. 25, 1849. Spencer Gill was a resident of Ripley
Co Ind in 1840 (Census; also seeFulton Co Ind M.R.) Spencer Gill and his
wife, Martha, his four children, and her son Silas V. Stroub (ae 3yr) were
residents of Fulton Co Ind, Wayne Twp, in 1850 Census. The Fulton Co Ind
Census 1860, reflects still a third marriage for Martha, and Fulton Co
Ind M.R. indicate that on Nov. 15, 1857, Martha Gill m. Samuel Stubbs.
Samuel and Elias Stubb and Joseph Stroup were all residents of
Shelby Co Ind in 1840, and were perhaps acquainted before coming to Fulton
Co.
Samuel Stubbs, 1814-1889 (Fulton Co Ind Cem, Union Twp) and his
2nd wife, Martha, his four children, and her three children: Silas M. Stroub
(ae 14yr), Albert A. Stroub (ae 11yr), and Mary Gill (ae 7yr), residents
of Wayne Twp, Fulton Co Ind (Census 1860)
Fulton Co Ind Guardianship Index indicates that guardianship papers
were filed on April 5, 1855, for Silas Strobe; final report date April
19, 1866. Silas M. Stroub was a Pvt Co A, 155 Regt Ind, in the Civil War
(Peattie, History of Fulton Co Ind, p. 12)... |
| The authors' musings are a total hodge-podge. Reuben STROUP's
parents were our subjects, Joseph STROUP & Mary TUCKER. Reuben
is the brother of David McKEE's wife, Sarah Ann (STROUP) McKEE. The
Samuel
STROUP in the 1840 census of Elkhart Co., IN, is not remotely
related to Reuben STROUP and Sarah Ann (STROUP) McKEE of Fulton Co., IN. |
