Beverly Strother, Jack
Strother and Richard Strother, are the oldest Strother ancestors
that have been identified to date. These three brothers were residing
nearby one another in Pope, Perry County, Alabama as early as 1863 or even
earlier. All three of
the brothers were born in the state of Virginia in the early 1800's, but had
already migrated to Alabama sometime during or prior to the Civil War period -- whether through slavery or
of their own will.
The Strother family surname is correctly spelled S-T-R-O-T-H-E-R. However, during
the times when most Blacks and Whites were not fully educated, the name was misspelled
severely. It was spelled as it was pronounced, hence some of the notable
misspellings are: STRATHER,
STROUGHTER, STRODDER, SHOTHER, STRAUGHTER, STROTHERS and STROWDER just to name
a few.
