I don't think you meant to say that Andrew STRAUB (b. 1790), husband of Susanna CARL, died in 1807.As far as I know, he died in 1876 in Kansas.But I see, now, that I may be confused about this Andrew's parents.I show him the son of Daniel STRAUB *Senior* (b. 1744), husband of Catharina SCHITZ.I take it you saying he's the son of Daniel STRAUB *Junior* (b. 1760s/70s; d. 1807), husband of Catharina SIDDLER?
For a long time, there has been confusion between the Daniel STRAUB/STROUP who married Catharina SCHITZ and the Daniel STRAUB/STROUP who married Catharina SEIDLER/SITTLER.Some have said there was one Daniel who married both women.Others have said there was one Catharine (SCHITZ/SEIDLER/SITTLER), who married one Daniel.However, I believe Garry Heagy has solved the problem.He gives his documentation in this message, online at the Ancestry.com message boards:
http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/message/an/surnames.straub/326http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/message/an/surnames.straub/326
In a nutshell, the Daniel STRAUB (b. 1744) who married Catharina SCHITZ was the father of the Daniel STRAUB (b. 1760s/70s; d. 1807) who married Catharina SITTLER/SITLER/SEIDLER.More specifically, Orphans Court records of Northampton [now Lehigh] Co., PA, show that the Daniel STRAUB (of Lynn Twp.) who died by June 1807 was Daniel *Junior* [Daniel STRAUB "Junge" -- German for "younger"], whose wife was named in the documents as Catharina, whose brother was Johannes SITLER.Daniel Junior had seven children, four of them still minors in 1810 (i.e., under the age of 14, thus born after 1796).Unfortunately, only the minor children are named:Magdalena, Catharine, Joshua, and Maria.Does anyone know the names of the other three older children? Was one of them the Andrew who married Susanna CARL?
The 1800 census supports the above because, in that census, Daniel Junior (20010-20010) had four children born 1790-1800 -- the eldest possibly being the Andrew (b. 1790) who married Susanna CARL.In the same census, Daniel Senior (02201-00100) had no child born after 1790 -- the youngest possibly being Andrew (b. 1790), husband of Susanna CARL.
So, the bottom line is, how do we know which Daniel was the father of the Andrew who married Susanna CARL?
I had not made the connection between Andrew "Jackson" STRAUB, s/o Andrew and Susanna (CARL) STRAUB, and the Andrew who married Eliza ECKENRODE because the marriage record -- or at least the transcription I have of it -- says that it was "Andrew B. STROUP" who married Eliza Angeline ECKENROAD on 21 Jun 1859 in Mahoning Co., OH.Which brings me back to my original question...
Are there any primary records that show a middle name "Jackson" for either the Andrew STROUP who married Susanna CARL or the Andrew STROUP who married Eliza ECKENRODE?
