>There is reliable evidence showing that SARAH STROUD who married Nathan
>BULLARD January 21, 1795 in Duplin County North Carolina (see Appendix D) is
>a daughter of Lutson STROUD Jr. Lutson STROUD Jr. named his wife and
>children in his Will written in 1797 and probated in Duplin County, NC in
>1798. The six children named are: Lewis, Selah, Winny, Isaac, Zelpha, and
>Able Croom. His wife was Hannah CROOM. I have verified that the handwritten
>copy of Lutson STROUD Jr Will on file in the North Carolina State Archives
>did in fact spell his daughter's name as SELAH.
> I am certain that this SELAH is the daughter who married Nathan
>BULLARD as SARAH STROUD as noted above. This conclusion is based on the
>following facts:
>1. Lutson STROUD and William STROUD are both named on the same Duplin
>County District 1783 Tax List with William BULLARD, father of Nathan. (They
>were neighbors).
>2. Lutson STROUD and William STROUD are both named in the 1786 Duplin
>County NC State Census in the same District with William BULLARD.
>3. These are the only STROUD and BULLARD Families found in this area
>at that time.
>4. In the Book, The Heritage of Lenoir County, published by The Lenoir
>County Historical Association, Kingston, North Carolina, 1981 a biographical
>sketch, Article 727, of Franklin STROUD by Romana Ann Collins Jenkins states
>that Franklin's great-grandparents were Lutson STROUD jr and Hannah CROOM.
>Romana Jenkins also states that the children of Lutson and Hannah Crome
>included a Celia (BULLARD) among the other five named children. SELAH was
>obviously spelled CELIA here since the Will did not list a daughter Celia.
>The BULLARD named here is obviously Nathan BULLARD.
>5. In a Book, A Saga of STROUDS & STRODES, by Octavia Jordan Perry,
>printed by Deford & Company, Baltimore, MD, 1966, Perry discusses the
>Revolutionary War Service of the Duplin County, NC William and Lutson
>STROUDs. He states that William STROUD left Duplin County after the War and
>he died in Mississippi. His children did not include a name that could be
>construed to be SARAH.
>6. Since the Marriage Bonds of Duplin County North Carolina, in the NC
>State Archives include the January 21, 1795 marriage of SARAH STROUD to
>NATHAN BULLARD with Sampson GRIMES as bondsman and witness, it is reasonable
>to assume that SARAH pronounced her name such that the recorder spelled it as
>it appears in the record.

> I am certain for the reasons stated that SARAH (aka Selah, Celia)
>STROUD is the daughter of Lutson Jr and Hannah STROUD. Lutson STROUD Jr. is
>named in lists of Revolutionary War Soldiers who served in the North Carolina
>Militia. He was reported to have been wounded in the buttox in one of the
