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.
