Going back to Andrew, he was the son of George Troup. George Troup lived in Van Wert county Ohio outside of the city of Van Wert. I have been to the library there and found his obit and death record. I am not at home where my records are but I have the names of all their children and have some history as well. Prior to being in Van Wert the Troups lived in Adams County, PA which is where Gettysburg is located. They moved to Ohio long before the civil war. I have seen census and other records that show Troups living in Adams County in the 1820's. George and wife must have moved sometime between the 1830's and 1840's to Ohio but I do not have the complete scenario yet. I do know that at least one of their children moved to Iowa and perhaps more. I have found an account from one of Andrew's sisters that gave some history of the family.
