Surnames: Stroup, Strupe, Benson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/0IQBAEB/20.245 Message Board Post: Pauline, I am descended from a John Price Strupe whom I believe was born in AR. He married Sarah Jane Benson (b 13 Sep 1836 in Chicago, IL) about 1856. They both died in Kerrville, TX. Do you know if this family might tie into yours? I'd appreciate any info you can share. I have my direct line back through John Price Strupe.
