Letitia, my aunt was a Stroup from the Zachariah Stroup
line. We believe William Stroup married a Susan Smith
who supposedly was the daughter of an Osage indian Chief and was called Huggie Bear Smith.
That may not have been
his indian name tho. My information came from one of Zachariah's granddaughters who
is 82 and living in Ganns,
Oklahoma. The granddaughter's father was Arch Stroup
son of Zachariah and Sarah L. (Luella) Crowder. I was told
that Zach and Luella separated and she married a 2nd time
to Meek Roberts and had another family. I found them in
the 1900 Indian Territory, Cherokee Nation. I'd very much
like to hear from you. My e-mail is d.taff(a)worldnet.att.net.
