Transcription from part of a letter [Xerox copy] follows, - regarding origins of the last name – letter written by a Granddaughter years later, no date available, sent to me by an Aunt, Ella, who was the original recipient and who has the original letter. [Comment inserted by transcriber, a direct descendent of John B. STRAUB. The “B’ in family records is “Baptiste.”]

“As to the Straub (1960’s) Great Grandpa Straub Great Grandpa Mosbar Aunt Addie Straub’s father Joe Shock Clints Mothers father Andrew Mosbar came over from Germany about (100 year ago) & they spelled their name Straupp then had it changed to Straub (they landed in N.Y.)

Now Henery and Willis have changed the name to Stroub

Mother Munger always said it was Straub.

Her maiden name was Mosebar”

[Handwritten note included by Ella,] “Fam. Hist. Lib [SLC, UT abt. 1970]– from the (Desk European) A. City Archives

Antwerp

Belgium”

[From my memory of a lost page originally included with this Xerox copy- a pg. 2, gave another child, a sister to John Baptist Straub, Mary, born first in the family, which I estimate would be about 1830, who was born in Baden, Germany. I later found in 1850 Census of Monroe County, MI, a Mary Straub about the right age, listed with her husband, Gabriel WISE, and daughter, “Barbary” about age two. I have no further information.]
