Frederick Strosnider later moved to Frederick Co., VA and raised his family there. He later moved to Greene Co., Pa where he died on December 1810. He left a will naming all his children. One of his sons Michael Strosnider married Hannah Rudolph and he had a large family of about 14 children and most all of them stayed behind in Virginia. Your Benjamin Strosnider was the son of Michael Strosnider born circa. 1765 in Bucks Co., Pa and married 6 Jan 1786 in Frederick Co., VA to Hannah Rudolph (daughter of Thomas Rudolph).
