Well, I'm afraid I jumped the gun on this one...
There is a Joseph STROUP in Madison Co., OH, who is probably the son of William & Ann (THOMAS) STROUP.He was enumerated as Joseph SHOUP in the 1850 census, which is how I overlooked him.But he married 9 Apr 1846 in Madison Co., OH, to Sarah A. HANSON as Joseph *STROUP*, and they are enumerated in the 1860 census as *STROUP*, so he does appear to be STROUP.Consequently, we are back to having no parents for the Joseph STROUP who married Catharine BOLLINGER.I have also run into a much more complicated situation with regard to this Joseph.
I had assumed because Catharine remarried on 23 Nov 1869 in Marshall Co., IN, to Henry GERARD that Joseph had died.Not so.Joseph & Catharine must have divorced because we find that Joseph remarried 27 Oct 1865 in Marshall Co., IN, to Catharine LILLEY and that he remarried again on 24 Feb 1870 in Marshall Co., IN, to Mary Ann LEACH.
Joseph & Mary Ann then appear in the 1870 and 1880 censuses of Marshall Co., IN, and they have twochildren:Homer M. STROUP (b. 1870/1) and Joseph M. STROUP (b. 1873/4).Joseph also appears to have adopted a son, William (b. 1861/2, IN), who is surnamed RINEGAR [RININGER] in the 1870 census, then surnamed STROUP in the 1880 census.
I found a Joseph STROUP (age 5, d. Mar 1850) in the 1850 Census Mortality Schedules of Tipton Co., IN, but I'm now wondering if he really was a son of Joseph & Catharine (BOLLINGER) STROUP.There were several STROUP families in the 1850 census of Tipton Co., IN, who could easily have been this boy's parents, while Joseph & Catharine were in the 1850 census of Branch Co., MI.Do you have some particular reason to believe this boy was their son?They did have time to move from Tipton Co., IN, to Branch Co., MI, between March and June of 1850.
I continue to work on them, so expect more developments, and I'll try not to post prematurely again.If you think I've gone astray, please don't hesitate to correct me.
