You don't, technically, have to be named Stroud to participate in the DNA study, but you do have to be the son of a son of a son ... etc. ... of a Stroud, because the y-chromosome DNA is only passed father to son.If your mother or grandmother was a Stroud, you may very well have a Stroud uncle or cousin who would be willing to take the test.If your 4th great-grandmother was a Stroud, chances are you don't have any Stroud relatives who come to family picnics, but you still may know a Stroud relative through genealogy networks who could test.And it may be worthwhile for you to take the test, yourself, if you have unanswered questions about your Dorris ancestors.
I really hope there is a descendant of the Spartanburg/Laurens/Greenville Strouds who will test!I've seen this family attributed to Lutson Stroud of Duplin Co. NC and to the Quaker Strouds from PA-DE-Randolph Co. NC.There are some intriguing connections to John & Hannah Stroud as well.For one thing, Isaac Stroud of Spartanburg Co. SC married Hannah Rhodes.I think that is pretty well established.But I've seen some family trees that say Hannah Rhodes was the wife of Sherrod/Sherwood Stroud of GA, who is one of our big mysteries.Also, Chaney Stroud seems to have had a close connection in Greenville Co. SC with a Seth Pettypoole.This is a very familiar name in the John & Hannah Stroud family as well, both from Prince George/Brunswick Co. VA and Orange Co. NC.How many unrelated Seth Pettypooles can there be?!And then, some of my Strouds, from Fulton Co., AR, settled briefly in Madison Co. AR, close to Jonathan F. Stroud (wife Easter Huntsucker) from the Greenville SC family.I’ve always wondered if there was a connection there or just a coincidence.
