Just a side note, I have ties to the Strong family of early New England. Does your Strong line go back that far? Nancy Forbis

Nancy, A very large Thank You for the help with the Dixons and T.V. Strong. It is greatly appreciated. Thomas Vanburen Strong is from the Virginia Strongs traced back to the eastern part of that state in the late 1600s. There might be a connection to Elder John Strong's clan in the northeast, but if so, it hasn't yet been found. Thanks again, Russell
