Frederick CUPP (1784-1867)

Frederick CUPP was born 17 Mar 1784 in Augusta County, Virginia. He died 14 Jan 1867 in Augusta ?County. I do not have proof of these dates and places, but they are on many family trees. He married Elizabeth BAKER 21 Aug 1810 in Rockingham County, Virginia. His father is said to be Marcus CUPP.

I am interested in Frederick because two of his children married the children of Christain RUSMISEL:
George B RUSMISEL married Catherine CUPP 29 Nov 1848
Mary Ann RUSMISEL married Simeon CUPP 19 Oct 1848.

There is a Frederick CUPP on the 1840 Census in Rockingham, but he is too young to be this Frederick. He may be a son or a nephew. This Frederick is probably there under one of the many variant spellings:
CUP, KOF, KOFF, KUP and others.

I also found him listed in the Virginia Genealogical Society Quarterly, Vol. 22, No. 3, p. 38:

Two Rockingham County Polling Lists, 1842, Poll taken at Oterbine in Rockingham County on the Fourth Thursday in April [28] 1842 for two delegates to serve in the next General Assembly: Frederick Cupp

He is listed as a Lutheran living in Mt. Solon in the book "History of the Lutheran Church in Virginia and East Tennessee" published in 1930 by the Lutheran Synod, Shenandoah Publishing House, Inc., Strasburg, VA.
