Greetings cousins, Glad to find a list of, for, and by Stroup(e)s. Have lived within 75 miles of a 6 generation line of Stroups for most of my life, yet have only recently met any Stroup not decended from my grandfather, and none of them had the last name of Stroup(e). I have been into genealogy for about five years, and on line for about two. Of course, I've found more in the last two than the first three. Much, much more. My Stroup(e) line is: Matthias Stroope>Adam Stroup>Jacob Stroup>Adam Stroup>Jacob David Stroup>Eli Stroup>Ephraim Stroup>James Henderson Stroupe>M. H. Stroupe>George Kenneth Stroupe>me. I pretty much have what is available on line as far as spousal and bio info of the early part of line, (see Jim's site, I pretty much have the same info) would love to have any more detailed spouse info, dates, siblings, etc) Will have my info on my homepage soon, don't have it there yet. Go there if you are totally bored, it's at http://ebicom.net/~fstroupe/index.shtml For those desended from Ephraim, if you don't have these, I have a photo of Ephraim, Nancy, their sons together (probably around 1890), MJ and the sons again (probably around 1920), and one of "Pink" (probably around 1900). These are fairly poor copies, made from a copier. I know who has the originals they were made from, but haven't been able to get in touch with her. Also, I live close enough to Ashland to get photos of Ephraim's and Nancy's headstones, and am going to take photos within the next few weeks. Let me know if you are interested, will scan and send to you. Hope we can all help each other with the family whose name noone else can pronouce. Good hunting, Frank Watts Stroupe
