I am the eldest daughter of Doris Leila STROOP Mushalik. I have information further back than my Grandfather - Rutherford Burchard Hayes STROOP - back to Adam STROOP, born in West Virginia (Virginia) about 1808. So, looks like there might be a connection to the WV and/or V STROOPs. Don't have much on Adam except what I've gotten from Ancestry.com.
