Erin Proctor on Rootsweb Messge Board for Wisconsin, Jefferson Coun; 3 Jul 2004
"Looks like Drew also had a son Frank born about 1856 in OH. Must have died between 1860-1870 though, as not in the 1870 census. M. Straw, male 22, painter, born in Oh. in the 1850 census for Watertown is probably another brother. Especially because Drew's wife is from OH., some of the family probably went to OH., and then to WI. There is a Nathaniel Straw and wife in Waterbury, Washington CO., VT. in the 1840 Census that fit the Watertown Nathaniel and there is online a tree for a David Straw born 28 Mar 1801 in Waterbury VT., whose daughter Mary married in Wyandotte Co., OH. that you might want to look at as another potential brother....."
