He and Mary Wilson (poss. dau. of Walter Wilson mentioned in land record with Hampton Stroud in Chester co.) migrated first to Wilkinson Co. Miss, then Caldwell Parish, La. where he applied for pension for Rev. War service, he died in Catahoula Parish La. with sons Frederick Wall Stroud and William Stroud m. Sally Gready sister to Frederick Wall Stroud's wife Teresa Gready and daughters, Anna Stroud m. Stephen Wilson, James Stroud. Most of the Strouds of Winn Parish, La. tie into this line.

His brother Ransom Stroud with wife Sarah Wall migrated to West Feliciana Parish, La. along with sister Nancy Morris.
He moved to Natchitoches Parish La., and most of the Stroud families in Sabine Parish descend from him.
