I am researching my husband's STROUD family. His direct ancestor was Thomas STROUD (b. 13 May 1772 in North Carolina-d. 26 Jan 1852 Marengo, Crawford County, Indiana Buried at Marengo Cemetery, Crawford County, Indiana.)
He was married (?secondly) to Jane AGAN about 1806.
Another family researcher found a land sale for 7 Mar 1806 in Randolph County, North Carolina:
Thomas STROUD to Samuel Aston 100.00 for 100a. Randolph Co., NC.
We believe that Thomas moved to the Crawford County IND area at that time. I found this book in the New Albany-Floyd Co. Library that verifies this info:
" A History of Crawford County" By John H. Weathers. Written in 1889. Reprinted in 1983.
pg 14. There were pioneers in what is now Crawford County--hunters and adventurers were here as early as 1804....In 1806 quite a number of families came to southern Indiana. One man settled on Cider Fork of Whiskey Run Creek in what is now Whiskey Run township. This was Thomas STROUD. He must, therefore, be accounted the first settler of Crawford County having settled in March 1806.
In the fall of 1806 Mr. Stroud was followed by E. E. Morgan, William McKee, and William Frakes.

Are your STROUDS/AGAN families from the Randolph County, NC area and do you have any info on the Jane or Thomas STROUD in your database?
I look forward to hearing from you,
