Hi Helen Godfrey! I received the map yesterday in the mail... Thank You! I posted it on my Lineages Directory today... but I have a question. Reviewing the research data provided by David Leahy, I note that Cloghchurnel Townland seems to figure in the picture somehow. I have looked for it on the map, but find only a townland entitled "Clogh"... Are they one and the same? Also, going back to the data, I noted that certain landlords, including re: Cartronamarkey..... Lt.Col Arthur G. Lewis Ballybrien................ Richard Greville Cartron.................... Richard Greville Robinstown............. Richard Greville Cloghchurnel.......... Hon. Capt. F. Maude, are involved... and that the Grevilles' are from Gloucestershire in England. Gloucester is one of the areas Martha Strong has found Strongs in England. I am wondering whether you have tried researching the estate records of these three landlord families to try to find any lease records, etc., relating to Strongs as tenants? From the Marriage Licence Bond Records I note that a William Strong m. Margaret Majore in 1706; Thomas Stronge m. Alice Pointain in 1707; Thomas Strong m. Katherine Haltan in 1713; and John Strong m. Mary St. John in 1715. These could all have been brothers (with Thomas marrying twice)... and the lease records MIGHT show some further relationships. The following is quoted from the "Understanding the Data Base" Chapter of my book, on line at my website: "17) The leases often ran for periods of 31 years or the life of the longest lived of three individuals named as tenants, whichever was less. Thus, it happened that a father and two of his sons, including the youngest, would be named as tenants. When looking for a record of a tenant lease, it is often smart to determine the date of emigration of an individual, calculate back 31 years, and search the Estate records for information on the lease then being let." Alternatively, one should also look for 21 year leases. See also: "Under the leaseholders, or directly under the landlords, were one or more "freeholders" or middlemen, who might hold their lands for terms such as "three lives or 31 years, whichever came first". Leases in general in Ireland at this time were of four main types: (1) Leases for three lives renewable for ever; (2) Leases for three lives which expired on the deathof the last life; (3) Leases for a period of years, e.g. 21 years, 31 years, 41 years, etc.; (4) Leases for three lives, or so many years, whichever was longer. 29" The latter discussion is at http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/7530/estates.html#Ely under "Rev. Lord Adam Loftis, Marquis of Ely". Compare the analysis found at the following URL: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/7530/estates.html#Ardeelane "Cunningham makes no mention of Strong lessees in the Conolly Estate article. It is probable, however, they came into possession of some of the lands about 1695. Dale G. Strong found that one Will Strong leased "Ardellan" Townland from the Conolly Estate in 1718; and that William Strong had another lease of "Ardeelan" Townland in 1726. In 1727, William Strong owed "18L as tenant at Ballyshannon Manor...also...John Strong." Also, in Raphoe Wills 1684-1858" is found a reference to a will for Arthur Strong of "Ardeelane" in 1743. Finally, there is mention of Edward Strong and son at Ardeelan in 1774. 44 Analysis of the dates and events with reference to the likely length of the lease terms suggests the following sequence of events: <p> 1695-1726: 31 years, original lease to William Strong <p> 1726: likely renewal of the lease, probably for 31 years and/or the lives of William and his son Arthur. William probably died between 1727 and 1743. <p> 1726-1743: After 16 years, death of Arthur Strong; with subsequent re-letting of the townland property to his son or other relative, Edward Strong. <p> 1743-1774: 31 years lease term; re-letting of leasehold to Edward Strong and son. <p> 1774-1805: 31 years lease term; probably to Edward Strong and son. <p> 1805-1836: 31 year lease term. Emigrations thereafter to America. See: "The Descendants of John Strong (1770-1837) and Martha Watson (1772-1851) of Drumhome Parish, Co. Done- gal, Ireland." 45" The point in all of this is that research along the lines suggested above might show a link between the Strongs of Gloucestershire and the Strongs of Longford... and you MAY be able to establish a descendancy covering the entire period 1700 to the present!

Hey, Dave, I have a Jenny Casteel married to a Samuel Strong...Is your Jane Casteel's father named Greenberry? Was your Samuel Strong 1st married to a Jane Pope and divorced before 1812? Did your Julia Ann Strong marry William Meredith Pope after his divorce from Lucinda Ulman? If so, how are you related to Julia Ann? She was my husband's 2nd great grandmother.

Hi My gggg grandfather, Samuel Strong and his 2nd wife, Jane Casteel, moved to Barren County abt. 1812 on Line Creek, which became MONROE CO. KY in 1820. They lived there until 1844 then possibly moved to Missouri (not confiremed). Samuel Strong had lived in Russell County, VA (now Scott County, VA) from 1795 until 1811, when he moved to Kentucky. Samuel Strong possibly had the following children, 1. JOHN STRONG 1794-1800 in Virginia. I have a land record for him in Monroe co. Ky in 1826. 1830 he is in Jackson Co. TN with Joseph Josiah Strong. He disappears after 1832 tax list 2. MARGARET STRONG 3. JOSEPH JOSIAH STRONG b. 1800 resided in Jackson County, (now Clay Co), TN. 4. THOMAS H. STRONG 5. WILLIAM STRONG 6. SCOTT STRONG If you want more I'll be happy to copy a disk. Take care, Dave Strong

I'm confused and hope someone on this list is also searching for the same line as I am. My mother-in-law passed away shortly before Thanksgiving, leaving all her genealogy books to me. I haven't BEGUN to sift through them all, but note that several times she gives the parents of Julia Ann Strong different names! JULIA ANN STRONG b July 11, 1818 married WILLIAM MEREDITH POPE on June 1, 1850 in Crab Orchard, Lincoln Co., KY. They had 4 children, of which, 2 sons grew into adulthood. Julia died Dec. 19, 1876. Who were her parents? Sometimes my mil says they were Samuel and Jane Strong, who had immigrated to MO in thye 1840's from Monroe Co., KY., and sometimes she says her father was John Strong, son of Samuel and Jane. Does anyone REALLY know? Anxious to hear. Joanne Scobee Morgan

I'm searching for the wife of John Strong, b 1801 in KY or TN. He married her abt 1820 and Julia Ann b 7/11/1818, Anis, b abt 1819 & Marinda, b 1/23/1820 were 3 of their children. There were several other children, but i have no birth dates to determine if she were there mother or not. They are William, Scott, Henderson, Anderson, Arrena, Samuel, Emily & James F. This mother evidently died young, for John Strong remarried Jane Pope about 1832. Some of these children are probably hers. Marinda Strong married a Maness 1st, then John Louis (Jack) Parrish. Scott married a Catherine ?, Julia Ann married William Meredith Pope in Crab Orchard, Lincoln Co., KY, Anis married ? Curtis and had a son, Monroe Curtis. Does anyone have any information on this line? Joanne Scobee Morgan

Hi, Tom Strong of Brisbane, Australia! I am delighted to hear from you! I do indeed remember our previous correspondance with your father, Earl Strong of Toronto... the correspondance revealed a fine mind and a good grasp of historical detail. I just regret that our contact came with him so late in his life that he was unable to help us more actively, as I am sure he had some past contact with details that would have helped us today. I also note your reference to the Herron connections.... I am descended from Mary Haron (also spelled Herron) who married my 2 x great grandfather, George Strong, in Drumhome Parish, Church of Ireland, County Donegal, in 1820; so we probably have another connection as well!

I will update the entry to include you as a researcher and point of contact. We will look forward to your participation and assistance! I am also copying this response to the Strong-List and a group of other researchers also interested in the roots of our Irish Strongs.... including Dale Strong and William L. "Bill" Strong who also corresponded with your father, Earl Strong. They will, I am sure, be glad to welcome you to the list as well. Unfortunately, we cannot offer easy answers, but we are all looking for the clues that will link us as cousins! Regards, David B.

Am looking for anyone who might know about Elijah STRONG who married Catherine HERKIMER. According to the census: He (or his father) is living in Ulster county NY in 1790 and He is living in German Flats, Herkimer Co. NY in 1800 There is a story that he is a descendant of the Elder John Strong, but I've been unable to make the connection. Any ideas? -- Jonathan Cardozo [email protected] http://www.cardozo.org/genealogy

David Thanks for your suggestion of a possible link. I have come across this name of Strangman/Strangeman-Hutchin/Hutchens before but I do not know where the link might be. It is definitely of Quaker origins. Just a reminder to all the Strong and Strang researchers - I would be interested in any references to Strangman that you might come across. Even today I found another official entry that had a "Strangman" spelled as a "Strongman". People doing transcribing and indexing are inexorably drawn to spelling my name Strangman as Strongman. It's almost as if someone is saying in their ear: "It can't be StrAngman, it must be StrOngman, change the entry". That's why my wife says to new acquaintances: "It's StrOngman spelt with an 'A' !

To PD & LE Strong, with copies to the Strong-List and the Irish Research Group: Hi Folks! Sorry to be delinquent in responding.... I was traveling, and after my return plunged straight into the holidays, so am just now getting back to you! I am quite interested in your info. You indicate you did not find any reference to your Robert Strong in my data base, by which I assume you mean the Irish Database on my web site. However, one thing you mention in the following message suggests a clue for further research. Your Robert Strong was a Weslayan Methodist, located in Belfast, County Down. Information available to me includes the fact that Weslayan Methodist preachers were active in the area around Ballyshannon, Co. Donegal and adjoining Co. Fermanagh in the early 19th Century. And, of course, they traveled and preached all over Ireland. Records number 1994 and 456 of the Irish Strong Database refer to a Robert Strong, who was a Weslayan Methodist preacher on the Enniskillen circuit ride in Co. Fermanagh in 1810. This info comes from the Vestry Records, Parchment Vestry Books, contained in the Public Record Office, Dublin. The same Robert Strong probably was the one who married Jane Johnston of Bonahawn Townland in the Church of Ireland Parish of Innishmacsaint, Co. Fermanagh, on 13 Feb 1810. (See LDS film #258753-2, at page 199). Note, the Parish of Innishmacsaint lies both in Donegal and Fermanagh, near the River Erne, draining lower Loch Erne. As you may be aware, the Weslayan Methodist movement originally was a reform movement within the Anglican Church, which in Ireland is the Church of Ireland. There are numerous Strongs to be found in the parish records of Drumholm and Kilbarron and other adjoining Church of Ireland Parishes in Donegal; also the name Robert occurs in certain Strongs of Carnhugh Townland, nearby. Some of the Strongs were involved in the Methodist movement and certain of them are known to have been Methodist at the time of their emigration to America. Hopefully this will give you some basis for further research. PLEASE keep in close contact with us as you develop new info. I have a personal interest in the Strongs of this area and ANY info can be extremely helpful. I am copying this message to the Rootsweb Strong-List and to a group of researchers whom I know to be particularly interested in this area of Irish Research in the hope that some other clue(s) will appear. I look forward to hearing further from you! Happy New Year! David B.

Hi Strong Researchers; I am trying to trace back the Strong Line that starts with Arthur Wellington Strong who was (I believe) born in Glens Falls, Warren Co. N.Y. 11 April 1904, died Aug 1979 Jeffersonville, N.Y. and married 1937 to Dorothy Irene Eells. Here is what I have; 1920 Census Glens Falls, Warren Co. NY 28/146/188 Strong, Agnes head 40 divorced born NY father born NY mother born NY Wellington son 16 Marion daughter 14 Farlin, Lottie mother 60 Vanderwarker, Madelene 22 lodger steno auto chain factory >From the above and with data from the Glens Falls City Directory it would appear the Arthur Wellington Strong who I am tracking was the son of Arthur W. Strong and Agnes Farlin, born NY In turn Arthur W. Strong was the son of Eugene and Caroline (??) Strong and his wife Agnes Farlin, born NY was the dau. of Mr. and Lottie (???) Farlin both born NY. Does the above ring any bell with anyone? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you John

Merry Christmas to all and may you and yours experience peace, happiness and a bit of laughter in 1999. Enjoy searching and researching your 'strong' connection(s)! Judy Kunz
