  • Notes 
    • !NOTE:This Peter STROUD is probably the one called "Big Peter Stroud";


      !NOTES:Peter Stroud (Jr) and Margaret Curtis Stroud had a proven son named "Peter" per various sources. However, which Peter was it? This one, Peter Grayson Stroud (1807-1872) seems the only choice.
      Why?
      1. Fits age-wise.
      2. Fits name-wise.
      3. Children of Peter Jr's proven son James lived with Peter G. in 1860 and next to him in 1870. Makes sense if he was their uncle.;
