Other Events:

• Military: 7 April 1862, Lebanon, Russell County, Virginia, USA; Michael Strough Pvt. Confed Capt. John A. McFarlane's Co. VA Cav. Appears on Co Muster Roll of the Org named above for Jun 30 to Nov. 30, 1862. Enlisted" Apr 7, 1862, Lebanon, Va by O. Caldwell for a period of 3 years. Present...

Notes:

Michael's parents are listed by other researchers as either George Michael Strouth and Ula Minter, or Henry Strouth and Dianah Armstrong. I don't know which of these are correct (if either of them are). I think maybe one came from a book written by Peggy Strouth Scott called "The Strouth Family." I haven't seen the book so don't know where she got her information. George Michael and Ula did get married in Botetourt County, VA and could be the right age for Michael parents.

There is also, in the 1850 Giles County census, a:

Deanah Stow (Dianah Strouth?) 75 Mulatto, living with Joseph W. (28), Rebecca (W), Mancy R, James W. Mary, and Joshua (33); Joseph and Joshua are also listed as Mulatto.

This is probably Dianah (Armstrong) who married Henry Strouth. If Joseph and Micheal really are brothers, this would seem to confirm the Dianah & Henry Strouth parentage. However, Dianah, Joseph and Jacob are all listed as Mulatto. No census lists Michael as Mulatto. In future census (1870, 1880) Joseph is listed as white. Could it be only Dianah was Mulatto and so they listed her two sons, that she was living with at the time, Mulatto as well?

Until I am able to get to Virginia or come across more documentation on the Strouth's, there are no firm answers. If anyone has documentation actually proving the parents of Michael, please share.

Birth:
George and Ula are only possible parents...still need documentation to prove this relationship

Died:
In Muster Roll in 1863, but can not find in census or anywhere else in 1870 - May have died in the war?

Michael married Mary Isabelle "Polly" Miller in 1839 in Russell County, Virginia, United States. Mary (daughter of John Nicholas Miller and Anna Catherine "Caty" Cline) was born in 1816 in North Carolina; died after 1880 in Tennessee?. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

George married Ula Minter (Possible) on 1 May 1805 in Botetourt County, Virginia, USA. Ula (daughter of Christopher Minter) was born in 1775 in Virginia, United States; died in in VA, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

John married Anna Catherine "Caty" Cline. Anna was born in May 1783 in Lincoln County, North Carolina; died after 1850 in Russell County, Virginia, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events:

• Will: 19 Dec 1802, Lincoln County, North Carolina; Mentioned on the will of her deceased 1st husband, father's will. Peter Lineberger Sr. Mentioned as "Caty Miller" "The colt that the old Sorrel Mare is with colt, if it lives to belong to my son Peter's Widow 19 dec 1802"

Notes:

Name:
I do not know where Ball came from, but everyone is using it. Her last name was NOT Ball. On her daughters death record, it's stated as Cline. And her mother Gertrude's will clearly states her daughter as Catherine MILLER. Another clue would be the name of her son, Valentine Miller. Catherine's father's name was Valentine, and many times the names were passed down.
