Jane English and had 8 children all raised in Blair Co. There was a second marriage to Nancy McGregor in 1846. My father's name was James, I guess it could have been a family name, I not sure. The Stroup family didn't talk much about relatives. Maybe we will connect somewhere down the line. What area is your James from? Marlene
