6.  1820 Census Index and Digital Images (online at Ancestry.com; Image 3 of 3); Towne of New Market, Fayette Township, Highland County, Ohio (enumerated:  7AUG1850, but some districts were given up to 13 additional months to complete).  Image uploaded at picasa. Census data extracted, analyzed and formatted below by myself, William Franklin Stroup, II, owner of this website:

Number and Sex	Census Age Class	Therefore Born	Individuals Inferred
1 male	9 or under	1810-1820	Eliad
3 males	10-15	1804-1810	Henry, Simon, Clayburn
1 male	16-18	1801-1804	William
2 males	19-25*	1794-1801	?, ?
2 males	26-44	1775-1794	Michael (Clayburn's father), ?
2 females	9 or under	1810-1820	Harriet, Margaret
1 female	26-44	1775-1794	Mary Walker Stroup (Clayburn's mother)
*In the 1820 Census, the third column is Census Age Class 16-18 and the fourth column is Census Age Class 16-25; therefore, any individual in column three is also in column four.  By subtracting the number in column three from the number in column four, you can create a new Census Age Class "19-25."

Cynthiana, Clayburn's sister does not fit in any of the categories listed based on age class counts recorded; could she have been missed, or with Anthony Stroup (Clayburn's uncle that is also listed on the same page), or not born yet based on when the count occurred (note:  the count may not have occurred on the enumeration date).  Since Michael, Clayburn's father, is a "hatter" at this time, the three unidentified males could be hired help, or unidentifiable kin.  Note:  there are only eight families in New Market at this time.

 

7.  1830 Census Index and Digital Images (online at Ancestry.com; Image 1 of 14); Salem Township, Highland County, Ohio (enumerated:  1JUN1830).  Name is mis-spelled on the census form and indexed that way:  Micheal Stroup.  Image uploaded at picasa. Census data extracted, analyzed and formatted below by myself, William Franklin Stroup, II, owner of this website:

Number and Sex	Census Age Class	Therefore Born	Individuals Inferred
1 male	5-9	1820-1825	Walker or Granville
1 male	10-14	1815-1820	Eliad
3 males	20-29	1800-1810	Henry, Simon, Clayburn
1 male	50-59	1770-1780	Michael
3 females	4 or under	1825-1830	Elma, Mary, Elizabeth
2 females	5-9	1820-1825	Cynthiana, Matilda
1 female	10-14	1815-1820	Margaret
1 female	15-19	1810-1815	Harriet
1 female	40-49	1780-1790	Mary Walker Stroup

One of Clayburn's youngest brothers is missing in this census:  either Walker or Granville is missed as the enumerator only counts 1 male, age 5-9. 

8.  1840 Census Index and Digital Images (online at Ancestry.com; Image 7 of 10); Dodson Township, Highland County, Ohio (enumerated:  21AUG1850).  Image uploaded to Picasa.  Name indexed as below.  Census data extracted, analyzed and formatted below by myself, William Franklin Stroup, II, owner of this website:

Number and Sex	Census Age Class	Therefore Born	Individuals Inferred
2 males	4 or under	1835-1840	Anthony, Arminius
1 male	20-29	1810-1820	Clayburn
1 female	4 or under	1835-1840	Margaret
1 female	5-9	1830-1835	Louisa
1 female	20-29	1810-1820	Mary

 

9.  1850 Census Index and Digital Images (online at Ancestry.com; Image 29 of 29); District 14, Dodson Township, Highland County, Ohio (enumerated:  21AUG1850).  Image uploaded to Picasa.  Name indexed as below.  Census data extracted, analyzed and formatted below by myself, William Franklin Stroup, II, owner of this website:

NAME	AGE	SEX
Clayburn Stroup	39	M
Polly Stroup	38	F
Louisa Stroup	18	F
Armenious Stroup	16	F
Margaret Stroup	13	F
Anthony Stroup Jr.	10	M
Mary A. Stroup	7	F
Joseph Stroup	5	M
Wyatt Stroup	1/12	M

Where is Matilda?  She is only 2 years old, and has been missed by the enumerator. Some LDS family submissions do not list her.  Is it possible that she may not really be their daughter?

10.  1860 Census Index and Digital Images (online at Ancestry.com; Image 8 of 27); Dodsonville Post Office, Dodson Township, Highland County, Ohio (enumerated:  9JUN1860).  Image uploaded at picasa.   Name indexed as below.  Census data extracted, analyzed and formatted below by myself, William Franklin Stroup, II, owner of this website:

NAME	AGE	SEX	STATE BORN
Claybourne Stroup	49	M	Ohio
Sarah Stroup	47	F	Delaware
Anthony Stroup	21	M	Ohio
Mary Ann Stroup	19	F	Ohio
Matilda Stroup	11	F	Ohio
Franklin Stroup	7	M	Ohio
Lavina Stroup	14	F	Ohio

Here, Matilda is listed, but her age is off one year.  Also, where is Joseph? He would be almost 15 years old.  Per Diana Gale Matthiesen's site, Lavina Stroup is adopted:  Sarah's grand-daughter, Lavinia Young, from a prior marriage. 

11.  1870 Census Index and Digital Images (online at Ancestry.com; Image 9 of 32); Salem Township, Highland County, Ohio (enumerated:  14JUL1870).  Image uploaded at picasa.   Name indexed as below.  Census data extracted, analyzed and formatted below by myself, William Franklin Stroup, II, owner of this website:

NAME	AGE	SEX	RACE	OCCUPATION	STATE BORN
Stroup Clayborne	60	M	W	Farmer	Ohio
Stroup Sarah	59	F	W	Keeping house	Delaware
Stroup Franklin	17	M	W	Works on farm	Ohio
Moore Ann	36	F	W	Dom Servant	Ohio

From this record, we find that Clayburn is still farming, assisted by his son, Franklin.  In the house, Sarah is helped by Ann Moore, who per Diana Gale Matthiesen's site, is Sarah's daughter from a prior marriage and also the ex-wife of William D. Moore.  

12.  1880 Census Index and Digital Images (online at Ancestry.com; Image 9 of 22); Hillsborough Post Office, Dodson Township, Highland County, Ohio (enumerated:  12-14JUN1880).  Image uploaded at picasa.   Name indexed as below.  Census data extracted, analyzed and formatted below by myself, William Franklin Stroup, II, owner of this website:

NAME	RACE	SEX	AGE	STATE BORN	FATHER'S BIRTHPLACE	STATE MOTHER BORN
Stroup Claburne	W	M	70	OH	PA	PA
Stroup Sarah	W	F	69	DE	DE	DE
