Raymond, I am seeking Richard CLARK - Christina DUTCHER information. They lived for a time in Prattsville and Coxsockie around 1850's, maybe earlier. They supposedly had 14 children and 9 have been accounted for. I know very little about Richard Clark ancestors and nothing about Christina's. Sharon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Raymond W.

My interest in Greene County is modest. Strong's migrated from Durham, CT to Durham, NY (Freehold) in the 1790's. We have been searching for my GG granfather William Augustus Strong's parents. He was born in Durham, CT in 1793. By elimination of Strong's in Durham, CT, I believe it is likely that his father was John Strong, a revolutionary soldier and the son of Medad Strong. John Strong's brother Selah migrated to Durham NY and there are indications that John Strong lived there for part of his life. I have been attempting to learn more about John Strong and the possibility that he had a second wife. Ralph Strong Glen Burnie
