Benjamin STRAUB born in 6 Dec 1802 is a son of George P. STRAUB, born in Northumberland County (now Snyder) married Sarah Mertz. He died 3 Jun 1877 in Freeburg, Snyder, PA. His son moved to Indiana and the descendents still live there. There might be other Benjamins born in 1802. Those people named so many by the same name. It is difficult to sort them out.

Dear Shirley, I have been searching for the parents of Bernard Stroup b. 1800 and raised his family in Blair Co. PA, his wife was Jane English b. 1798 d. 1845. He m. Nancy McGregor in 1846. They are all buried in Martinsburg, Blair, PA All together they had 12 children. Bernard was a stone cutter and built a beautiful old stone house in Martinsburg. I have not been ab le to connect him with any of the other Stroup families in PA, however I'm sure he fits there somewhere. You have done so much research....any advise for me.
