Well, John is always a tough one because it must be THE most common German first name, and there were many STRAUB immigrants to PA, so you can never assume any STRAUB/STROUB/STROUP is related. I have a large STRAUB/etc. database:
http://dgmweb.net/genealogy/6/Straub/EveryNameIndex-Straub-J...
but I don't seem to have your John. Do you have his 1850 census record? That would be the first record I would seek out. I have what I think are all STRAUBs in the PA census on my web site:
http://dgmweb.net/genealogy/6/PA/PACensusStraub/1850.htm
but there is no John who is obviously yours. Can you spot him there? Depending on whether he married before or after the census, he should show up as a newlywed or as still living with his parents. The latter would be ideal because then you'd have his parents identified.
