Thanks for posting this information. All I’ve had to go on is from Kathryn (Foltz) Layman’s The Christian Strohl History, 1776 – 1983, and Mark Arslan’s research and Judy Campbell’s Page County research.

Pamily Ann Kibler, d/o Joseph Kibler & Martha Koontz, married James Perry Strole, s/o George Strole & Eve/Eva C. Jordon.

Jacob Strole, son of Christian, married Eva Catherine Kibler, d/o Philip Kibler & Catherine Snyder.

As another descendant of Christian Martin Strohl/Strole, I also have been working on my family tree.

It’s always confusing when children are named after siblings or other family members.

Let me know if I can be of any assistance.

Since you are from down in the Roanoke Valley end, it may be a different run (or not) of Huffmans, especially since there was a particularly large pocket of 18th century German settlers in that area. If you find that your Huffman line actually leads into the Shenandoah, let me know.

“Huffman”?? Uh oh. We’ve been trying to find information on our Huffman ancestors. This requires some investigation.

From my records -

Jacob Perry Strole (b- 3/12/1838 d-2/24/1879) married Mary Jane Whitesell in 1862. His son Jacob Perry Jr. (b-3/12/1863 d-5/5/1938) married Hester Holdaway in 1884.

Jacob Strole (b-1789 d-1860) son of Christian Strole, married a woman named Kibler.

The Jacob Strole I am referring to was the son of John Strole (b-1791 d-1868) who also was a son of Christian Strole, and brother of the original Jacob Strole. It appears John Strole named one of his sons after his brother Jacob.

I have some pretty detailed records, assume you have same, however if you want copies of anything just send me an email.

I thought Jacob Perry Strole married Pamily Ann Kibler.

Christian’s son John (1791 – 1868), who married Drusilla Graves, then as it goes – Jacob Perry Strole married to Mary Jane Whitesell, Jacob Perry Strole Jr. married to Hester Ann Holdaway, Arthur Curtis Strole married to Clara Mae Saylor, Aurthur Kirby Strole married to Nancy Lee Hall (my wife’s father and mother). One of the areas I have researched is the Strole involvement in the Civil War but have been unable to find out much if any information relative to the family’s participation or not in the war.

Thanks for commenting Jim,

Wish I could offer more family information through my blog postings, but more focused Civil War-related topics here. I am quite familiar with the Strole family; which of Christian Strohl’s children is your wife descended from?

Interesting read on your hessian ancestor, Christian Strohl, I have done quite a bit of research on the Strohl (Strole) family as my wife (maiden name Strole) is also a descendant. I look forward to reading through your blog.
