The known males for this family are in line with the males listed. John R. was about 1, Elbert was about 5-6 yrs old, William was about 9 yrs old. Mary fits in with what the 1840 Pulaski Co, MO census has as her age. Also, Wiley could have been the male that was 20-30 yrs old as he would have been 23 in 1830. This might connect Wiley, William Jasper, Elbert A and John R. as brothers after all since they were all definitely in Pulaski Co, Mo and, later, Phelps Co, MO. The white female 15-20 is most likely Marinda.

CHILDREN: In the 1840 Adams Co, IL census (which is right on the border of Missouri) there's a William Strawhan listed. I don't know if there's a connection or not.
In the Platte Co, MO marriage records, there's a Noah Strawhhurn married to Phoebe Young 14 Nov 1841.

John married Mary 1. Mary was born in 1790 in SC. She died before 1850 in MO.

It may be that Mary is short for Marinda.

I believe that the male that's 10-15 years of age is John R Strawhun and the male 15-20 years of age is William Strawhun. I have no idea who the 10-15 year old female would be. Warren R. & Marinda Strawhorn/Strawhun Hawkins were living two houses away..
