If these people lived in the same district, Isabelle's last name does point to "Strange".? It would be great to find a will or a deed listing Isabelle McGuire.? Debra do you have access to Abstracts of Deed Books for Rowan NC?? Maybe we can look in the books and find Isabella's father leaving her something.? Several of Edward McGuire's daughters married a "Smith" - Hannah married John Smith, Sarah married George Smith, and Rachael married Philip Smith. Thanks again. No i donnot have access to them.I think my Strang left Rowan and moved ?? Debra Maddox Wilson Greenback,Tn **************Biggest Grammy Award surprises of all time on AOL Music.
