8.  Query by Judy Olinger (online at the Madison County OHGenWeb site):

Looking for information on John STROUP and family.  William STROUP b 1785 in PA Moved to Madison County.  Married Anna THOMAS b 1798, and they had 10 children.  John A STROUP b 7-7-1814 marr. Eliza Jane CLEMMONS b 1816, Joseph STROUP b unkn.(only one of family who stayed in Ohio), Polly (Mary) STROUP b 1-15-1812 marr. Samual EPARD b 1807, Jane STROUP b unkn marr. Issac CLEMMONS b unkn, Rebecca STROUP b 1819 marr. Alexander ROWND b unkn, Anna STROUP born 5-15-1826 marr. Henry DEAL b 6-19-1822, Naomi STROUP b 8-23-1828 marr. Daniel STITES Prichard b6-24-1811, Andrew Jackson STROUP b 3-17-1830 marr. Sara Ann MCINTIRE b 4-16-1832, Reuben STROUP b 6-25-1832 marr. Maria CAMPBELL b 5-16-1836, Lovina STROUP b 6-1834 marr. Tirentus McINTIRE b 9-1828. Looking for any info on Stroup or any of the families they married into. John Stroup was born in Germany, William was born in PA, Anna Thomas born in MD. All their children born in OHIO.

Anna was married in 1809 so cannot have been born in 1798.  The censuses indicate she was born 1790-94, which is reasonable.
