I'm happy to share and be most appreciative for any help I can get. Thanks, Bill and Alice (Elmore) Rogers >> Dear Bill and Alice, My wife is a Strowd descendant from Hillsboro and Chapel Hill area; she does not share the Thrift lin; but she has done a LOT of research on the Stroud/Strowd family, and the allied families of Bryant, Atwater, Johnston, Blackwood, Snipes, and many other Orange County lines. You have a cousin, Herbert Poole, who is conservator of Quaker Records at Guilford College near Greensboro. He is a Thrift/Stroud descendant and has done quite a bit of research on that line. I do not have it, but you should be able to obtain an e-mail address for the Guilford College Library on the internet and get a message to him that way.
