Lee & Mariah Troup

Edmond-Spikes-Troup Family ReunionOur first family group appeared on an 1856 inventory and appraisal report for enslaved families on Troup's Turkey Creek Plantation.

Lee and Mariah Troup and their four boys... Champ, Charles, Wallac,e and Obediah are the link that brings us together as the Edmond-Spikes-Troup Family.

We do not know the reason for the name change, but based on the historical factors of the time, we can assume that the family wanted to distance themselves from the person and people who enslaved them for all those years. Champ, Charles, and Wallace Troup changed their surname to Edmond. However, Wallace went a step further and added a “s” to the Edmond name which is the reason many of our relatives are known as the Edmonds. While three of the brothers moved away from the Troup name, Obediah kept it, but with a twist. He simply added an "e”.
