Following Thomas String m an Albertson at St George Methodist in Philadelphia,and came with the 1803 colony,settling on absentee owner,Josiah Albertson's speculation lands 'Blue Anchor,in mid NJ. Thomas String,Swedish, land was between John and Sarah Blackman Collins,who built on the Tate beach of Lake Harsha,East Fork State Park,Clermont Co,Oh. String's were joined on the east by Isaac and Sophia Somers Higbee,and the latter's mill was at the Tate beach. Across the creek was Betsy,of James Leeds,m Josiah [?] Wilson, and WM Symonds on the north. Some of us remember the noirthern part of the 3-400 acres as the Shields farm. I think Thomas String joined Isaac Higbee in becoming Morman,and that he went to Utah,1840's. Noah Conover m Keziah String. Unlike Collins, Higbee,McCollum of the 1803 group,String left no home to be destroyed by the 1970's Corps of Engineers flooding Lake Harsha.
