I (Marty Grant) am a 1st Cousin 6 times removed of Jesse Stroud.
Special thanks to Pam Stroud and others for data shared on this family.
Jesse Stroud was born 8 Oct 1818 (source?) or ca 1811/12 per 1850 census. He was born in Burke (now McDowell) Co, NC in the Muddy Creek area.
Jesse is a proven son of William and Delilah (---) Stroud. He was named in an 1823 Guardianship record naming the heirs of William Stroud.
He was apparently home with his parents in 1820 (age "under 10", born ca 1810/20).
Jesse Stroud was named in the Jul 1823 Guardianship record as a minor orphan of William Stroud, deceased and Delilah (his mother) was appointed his legal guardian.
He was apparently home with his widowed mother in 1830 (age 10-14, born ca 1815/20).
He seems to have been at home with his mother still for the 1840 census (age 20-29, born ca 1810/20).
On 17 Mar 1841 Jesse Stroud obtained a marriage bond in Monroe County, Tennessee marry Mary Wiggins. I don't know why he was over there, but his brother Merritt had been there in 1836. Mary was born 31 Mar 1820 in North Carolina. I don't know who her parents were.
They did not live in Monroe or at least not long, for they were back in McDowell right away.
On 4 Oct 1847 Jesse and several siblings deeded some of their inheritance to Edward H. Grant: James Stroud, Peter Stroud, William Stroud, Jesse Stroud, Hicks Stroud and Nancy Stroud, heirs of William Stroud, deceased. Witnesses were Samuel Deal and S. B. Erwin. (McDowell Co, NC Deed Book 1 page 472).
On 12 Feb 1848, Jesse Stroud entered 100 acres (Entry # 555) on Muddy Creek adjoining his own land and land where James Shephard now lives.
Around 1848 or so, Jesse and his brother James and sister Nancy and their families, along with Matthew Stroud (cousin?) moved from Muddy Creek to Van Buren County, Arkansas.
They were listed on the 1850 census in Van Buren County in Craig Township.

They were not in Van Buren for the 1860 census, so I looked in Missouri, which is where I was told they moved to at some point. I didn't find them in Missouri. Checking everywhere I finally found them in Carroll County, Arkansas in 1860. This was about 1 county north west of Van Buren County, and on the Missouri border. Jesse's first cousin William P. Stroud (c1805) was living there already. Perhaps he gave Jesse a good report of the area and Jesse moved up there near them (though William lived in Jefferson Township).

By 1870, they had moved north into Hickory County, Missouri in Center Township. Son James was just a few houses away with his family.

They were still there for the 1880 census in Center Township. ** I don't have this entry typed up yet.
Mary Wiggins Stroud died on 4 Apr 1888 and Jesse Stroud on 23 Feb 1899, both in Hickory Co, MO. I don't have sources for these dates.
Jesse and Mary had twelve children per Pam Stroud. Ten of these are proven by the various census records. I don't have much additional data on any of them yet.
