Wife of John Wilkin Stroup. Mother to Harriet Stroup Vance. Step-mother to John's daughter, Eldora Stroup Jonte, and adopted mother to Charles Mooney Stroup.
Sarah Dorney Stroup was believed to have been kidnapped as a toddler, and taken to America by the person Sarah later realized was her nurse. The woman abandoned Sarah at a train depot, and she was then taken in by a kind woman named Mrs. Harper. Mrs. Harper was killed by a train when Sarah was around the age of 10. She was then sent to live in the house of James Stroup, to help around the farm. She later married his son, John Wilkin Stroup. He was a widower, so Sarah helped to care for his daughter, Eldora. John and Sarah had their own daughter, Harriet Stroup, who later married Lewis Cecil Vance. Sarah also took in a young boy named Charles, who went missing during World War I. Sarah Dorney Stroup spent her whole life wondering who her parents were, but sadly, never found out.
