Christine, The only information I have relating to the brothers and sisters of Sarah (aka Selah, Celia) Stroud who married Nathan BULLARD is in Lutson STROUD's will. Lott Stroud is not among these. I have seen the name Lott Stroud in lists of NC Rev War Militia and in STROUD genealogies. It is usually included with Lutson Jr. and Lutson Sr. and William. To me there is confusion about these STROUD names. I think Lutson Jr. and Sr. may be the same person in those lists. I will forward another e-mail to you giving some of the Stroud genealogy.

Can't forward the URL to the lists and can't copy it but some of you who were interested in the Caswell Dig might find this article in the Washington Post of interest. Doug Owsley is the person at the Smithsonian several of us have talked with about the Caswell cemetery in Kinston. Obviously the State of Maryland does not have the requirement that descendants give permission for this type of dig when the descendants are not known because the remains are not identified.

Thanks for sharing the info on the CROOM family. I went to the DESCENDANTS OF ABLE CROOM link to find a brief entry on Hannah CROOM who married Lutson STROUD Jr. The latter are my ggg-grandparents and the parents of SARAH (aka SELAH, CELIA) STROUD. There is reliable evidence that SELAH named in Lutson STROUD'S will as a daughter was actually the SARAH STROUD who married NATHAN BULLARD as documented in Duplin County, NC Marriage Records January 21, 1795. I offer the following excerpt (below) from my book, "William and Nathan BULLARD Family History and Genealogy" pages 22 and 23 which documents my logic. My book (hard cover, 8.5 by 11 inches, 396 pages) provides history and genealogy through 7 generations of the NATHAN AND SARAH STROUD FAMILY. Spencer A. Bullard >>>>>BULLARD WOMEN IN NORTH AND SOUTH CAROLINA Before leaving North and South Carolina with the Nathan1 and Sarah (Stroud) BULLARD Family some words about the BULLARD Women is in order. The William1 BULLARD Census of 1786 for Duplin County, NC shows 4 white females. These are assumed to be William1’s wife and three daughters. .......................... It is reasonable to assume that Nathan1’s mother was a Wright (Surname). This is supported by the fact that several Wright Families lived in Goshen Swamp area since their names occur many times in Court documents and Land Transactions. It is further supported by the fact that Nathan1 and Sarah (Stroud) named their first son Wright. Naming a son with surname of the Father’s mother was a common tradition among English Families at this time. It must be assumed that Nathan1 married a Firstwife before the birth of a son, William3 in 1784. It also must be assumed that a daughter was born to this union as indicated in the Anson County Census of 1800. It must be further assumed that Firstwife died before Nathan1 married Sarah Stroud January 21, 1795. These assumptions are supported by the fact that these two children remained with Nathan1 and Sarah after marriage. It would seem to account for the fact that Nathan1 was not included in the family of William1 BULLARD in the Duplin County 1786 Census. There is reliable evidence showing that SARAH STROUD who married Nathan BULLARD January 21, 1795 in Duplin County North Carolina (see Appendix D) is a daughter of Lutson STROUD Jr. Lutson STROUD Jr. named his wife and children in his Will written in 1797 and probated in Duplin County, NC in 1798. The six children named are: Lewis, Selah, Winny, Isaac, Zelpha, and Able Croom. His wife was Hannah CROOM. I have verified that the handwritten copy of Lutson STROUD Jr Will on file in the North Carolina State Archives did in fact spell his daughter’s name as SELAH. I am certain that this SELAH is the daughter who married Nathan BULLARD as SARAH STROUD as noted above. This conclusion is based on the following facts: 1. Lutson STROUD and William STROUD are both named on the same Duplin County District 1783 Tax List with William BULLARD, father of Nathan. (They were neighbors). 2. Lutson STROUD and William STROUD are both named in the 1786 Duplin County NC State Census in the same District with William BULLARD. 3. These are the only STROUD and BULLARD Families found in Duplin County at that time. 4. In the Book, The Heritage of Lenoir County, published by The Lenoir County Historical Association, Kingston, North Carolina, 1981 a biographical sketch, Article 727, of Franklin STROUD by Romana Ann Collins Jenkins states that Franklin’s great-grandparents were Lutson STROUD jr and Hannah CROOM. Romana Jenkins also states that the children of Lutson and Hannah Croom included a Celia (BULLARD) among the other five named children. SELAH was obviously spelled CELIA here since the Will did not list a daughter Celia. The BULLARD named here is obviously Nathan BULLARD. 5. In a Book, A Saga of STROUDS & STRODES, by Octavia Jordan Perry, printed by Deford & Company, Baltimore, MD, 1966, Perry discusses the Revolutionary War Service of the Duplin County, NC William and Lutson STROUD. He states that William STROUD left Duplin County after the War and he died in Mississippi. His children did not include a name that could be construed to be SARAH. 6. Since the Marriage Bonds of Duplin County North Carolina, in the NC State Archives include the January 21, 1795 marriage of SARAH STROUD to NATHAN BULLARD with Sampson GRIMES as bondsman and witness, it is reasonable to assume that SARAH pronounced her name such that the recorder spelled it as it appears in the record. I am certain for the reasons stated that SARAH (aka Selah, Celia) STROUD is the daughter of Lutson Jr and Hannah STROUD. Lutson STROUD Jr. is named in lists of Revolutionary War Soldiers who served in the North Carolina Militia. He was reported to have been wounded in the buttox in one of the battles. Subsequent Census records of Sarah’s age groups translate to birth between 1775 and 1780. Octavia Perry in A Saga of Strouds and Strodes provides information that: .“James Stroud married Miss Lott, had a son Lutson, who married Hannah Croom. “ We can assume that these are the parents and grandparents of our Sarah STROUD. >>>> -------------- Original message from "BJ Hughes" <[email protected]>: -------------- > Thank you for sharing John Croom's link with all of us.
