Merry, I have discovered that my STROUD family moved to Mercer Co. by 1840, where they are found in the Cool Spring census. I strongly believe that the Mary STROUD mentioned in the above will of Samuel PEARSON is the daughter of Joseph STROUD, son of my William. Joseph and Mary are in Venango Co. in 1880, but are buried back in Mercer Co. Write me if you are interested in further on this STROUD family. Best wishes, Gene Rooks in Gotha, Fla.
