Life History

Notes

• Child of James W. Stroud is not Joseph Thomas Stroud
  "The child of James W. Stroud was Joseph Edward Stroud who married Frances Cordelia Sanders. This Joseph was born about 1859. I don't know when he died. My great grandfather was Joseph Thomas Stroud who married Martha L. Cain. He, too, was born about 1859. Joseph Thomas Stroud did not know who his father was. His mother was Elefair Stroud (probably the sister of James W. Stroud).

  Marriage records report Joseph married Frances Cordelia Sanders in January 1904.  The Hensley genealogy reports the details.

  Birth 2 Jan 1868 in Pike, Alabama
  Death 6 Jan 1904 in Coffee, Alabama
  Parents:
  Henry Francis Frank Sanders 1840 - 1899

  I found a marriage record for the date matching that reported in the Hensley genealogy, but the last name of the bride is different.  This probably indicates that Frances Sanders had been married before marrying Joseph.

  Joseph Stroud
  Marriage 18 Aug 1885 Coffee County, Alabama
  Spouse Frances C. Pawlery
  
  A couple of genealogies report a date of death for Joseph as 15 May 1932, but has no documentation.  This, howver, is the date of death for Joseph Thomas Stroud, whose father is unknown, as noted in teh note at the top by Ann Vaughn Richards.  Joseph Thomas is the son of Elefair Stroud, who is thought to be the sister of James W Stroud.  They are buried in the Pleasant ridge Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery in Coffee County, Alabama.
