Midwest Historical and Genealogical Society has a number of Sedgwick County, KS marriage affidavits in their library. (Some of the affidavits from the 1870's and 1880's are missing from the files even though the names appear in the index).

Could you keep your eyes open for my Stroups while perusing Kansas? My great-grandfather was born in Kansas, April 1887. I have guessed it was Rice County. His name was Jay Jacob Stroup, parents Jacob D. and Alice M. His older sister was born in Kansas, also, about a year earlier. The two younger siblings were both born in Nebraska and I have located the family in Nebraska through an incredible stroke of serendipity and good luck, but don't know where they were in Kansas. Thanks!

Dear Jim, Very interesting...my father, James Ray Stroup, b. 1904), 4 other brothers and a sister all raised in Erie, Kansas. My father left about 1928 and went to Polk Co. Nebraska where he married and lived for a few years. It would be a real coincidence, after all this time if we connected. Where in NE was your family? Look forward to hearing from you.

Jacob D. Stroup was born December 1862, probably Greenwood Township, Juniata County, son of Jacob B. Stroup. His wife was Alice M. Carstetter (Kerstetter) of Greenwood Township, daughter of Adam. Born July of 1862, to the best of my knowledge. I don't have the data with me right now, but I found a little narrative on Jacob in one of those genealogical/biographical accounts (so popular in the late 1800s) of the Elkhorn River Valley, Northeast Nebraska. To the best of my recollection, Jacob was a farmer and veterinarian in Hooper, Dodge County. The entire family was back in Juniata County for the 2000 census. His father, Jacob D., died in the "West Chester Asylum" in 1902, so I suspect that the family moved back because Jacob D. was in poor health and help was needed back in the Juniata Valley. The family stayed on in Central Pennsylvania after that. My own grandfather was born not far away in Huntingdon County.
