| Hi,
| 
| My name's not Strope but I have a Strope(s) family in my tree that I'm
| looking for info on.  My Stropes were in the Greene/Jefferson/Sevier Co.
| area of East Tennessee around 1800.  I don't know who they were or where
| they went.  If you have corresponded with Stropes who have roots in East
| Tennessee I would love to contact them.  The only names I have are,
| Nancy Stropes who had a daughter named Diana Carter (from a previous
| marriage ?).  Nancy died by 1813 as Diana was placed under the
| guardianship of a William Cate at that time.  Other names on the
| guardianship record were Moore and Leith.  Diana Stropes/Carter married
| Thomas K. Clingan 2 Oct 1815 in Jefferson Co., TN.  Thanks.

| Subject: Not a Strope, but looking for one
| 
| My name is Tim Ursiny and I am looking for a childhood friend of mine
| named David Strope.  I just sent an e-mail to the David Strope on your
| list, but I don't know yet if he is the same David.  The David that I am
| looking for lived in Wilkes-Barre, PA somewhere around the year 1972
| (I'm not sure of the length of time that he lived there).  He would have
| been around 12 years old at the time.
| 
| If you can help me locate him I would really appreciate it.  Just like
| in the movie, "Stand By Me", you never forget your best friend when you
| were 12 years old.
| 
| Sincerely,
| 
| Timothy E. Ursiny
