Attention: Pam Thompson, Cherry Strong Hicks, Judy Shinn Kunz, Muriel Millwood: I just saw the message from Pam, and have cut and pasted the following entries from my Lineages Directory... It appears you all have something in common, researching CORK! And, don't overlook the definite possibility that name variants are involved here! Note, also, possible relationships between Strongs of the four counties listed below. Hopefully you will be able to coordinate your research! Just yesterday, I revised the Research chapter of my manuscript. I suggest you visit the page and check out the parishes, etc in Co. Cork where Strongs have been found, and then visit a FHC to see if there are any parish records available... Frankly, I have never had the time to do it, and would appreciate the help... I am departing Monday, for about a month, but will monitor my email and hope to see some further developments in the research. Hope you will all correspond on line, via the Rootsweb Strong-List! When I return, perhaps I will be able to help a bit more with info in my paper files. I have shared some thoughts on research with Judy Shinn Kunz which she may be able to pass along in my absence. Just a parting thought.... be wary of this "from Cork" business. Although there ARE records of Strongs in Co. Cork, I suspect that some Strong merely sailed from Cork... See the discussion on the linked site re Cork on my Links page! Good Luck! David B.

Quoted is the first paragraph about John, together with certain updated information about his three children. "John, Michael and William Strong, brothers, were involved in the Emmet rebellion in 1798 in Ireland. When that collapsed the three brothers escaped secretly and landed in 1799, in Philadelphia, and after tarrying in that city for a few months they separated from each other, and <b>John Strong</b> never afterwards heard either from them or of them. He located at last in Cumberland, Clinton Co., Ky. [sic], on a farm near what is now Albany. In 1808, he married Elizabeth Williams.

Resided in Winchester, Illinois; Morgan County, Illinois; and Girard, Illinois. Apparently living in 1871 when Dwight published his genealogy. 10 children named. <b>II. Prince Alfred Strong</b>. Born 1811, Cumberland, KY; died 18?? in Spokane, WA. Married Frances Renfro at Lexington, Kentucky in 1838. Relocated to Illinois in 1838 and subsequently to California via the Isthmus of Panama and vessel "Nevada" to San Francisco, arriving June 17,1867. Migrated in 1879 to Five Mile Prairie, near Spokane, WA in 1879. Had nine children: Martha Francis, Martha Ann, Mary Elizabeth, Mary B., Prince Jerome, Laura, William Alfred, Prince William Jerome, and John Franklin Strong (the last being the ancestor of researcher Judy Shinn Kunz below). <b>III.

(from a foot note at page 265, "Modern Ireland, 1600-1972", by R.F. Foster) <br>Note (2): It appears that Clinton County was probably formed out of Cumberland County after 1820.

Dear Jim, You were right Thomas was in Durham, CT when he wrote the letter. Martha

Hello, I'm looking for information on William STRONG born in 1811 in Cork, IRELAND, married Anne RAMSAY and their daughter Mary b. 1853, married James ABERNETHY and died in KINGSTON, ONTARIO, CANADA. -- Pam Thomson http://www3.bc.sympatico.ca/ Town Square Network

I am searching for the ancestry of Samuel Sebra Strong b. circa 1810, possibly New London, Conn. He received a land grant for lands in Baldwin County Alabama. Served in the Union Navy during the civil war and was in the Battle of Mobile Bay. Samuel married Mary E. Nelson in Baldwin County Alabama. Anybody have any knowledge of this line?

Hi all. I came across mention of a Mary Folts Strong in my stuff last night and it rang a bell. Is somebody out there connected to the Folts family? I have a Phelps George Strong who m. Mary Frances Folts b. 1867 (Phelps - aka George - was the brother of my gr gr grandfather). Any interest? Lindsey [email protected]

Martha; I found the piece of paper from grandfather's closet which reads: (John found this in Buffalo - no dates) In Mormon church records-- Walter and Lucy Strong are the parents of Polly Strong, Thetford VT b 8/27/1794 Harriet Strong " " b 2/13/1796 Ezra Brewster Strong Thetford VT b. 3/25/1798 Hofak Strong " " b 10/16/1801, died 1903 Ezra, Harriet and Polly were baptized July 19, 1801 Ashael Strong, baptized in 1801 - November 15 Joseph Chapel Strong 1804 The above is transcribed exactly as it appears on the paper but I cannot swear that it was copied exactly from it's original source. The "John" mentioned would be my grandfather's brother - Uncle Jack - who has been dead since 1980. Buffalo would be Buffalo NY - where we all lived until the 1960's but I can't be sure whether Uncle Jack found the records at an LDS church in Buffalo or if he just found some stuff in Buffalo that made reference to LDS records. Martha, have you seen any OTHER references to Hofak, Ashael or Joseph? Regards, Lindsey

I have finally gotten through all seven volumes of Early Connecticut Marriages (has to be done AT the library) and found no marriages between Scrantons and Strongs. In fact, there were very few references to Scrantons at all - which surprised me. Sorry. Wish I had something more for you. Lindsey DiCosola [email protected]

Dear Lindsey, Will check tomorrow to see what I have. Martha

Dear Jim and Lindsey, Could they have been married in NY. Martha

I thought it was me and my poor typing skills and figured I would try again this week. Upon receiving your "Anyone out there???" I began to wonder if perhaps you are experiencing some kind of technical difficulty. Let us know. Lindsey DiCosola [email protected]

Thanks for your efforts on Sadie's and my behalf. We want to know each other! Sharon

Dear Jim, I am here. Things have been hectic. Wilma who just found her Lydia found out yesterday she is a double Strong. Juanita who is looking for Sarah Hampton found out she is a triple Strong. Kay and Virginia are working hard trying to find more out about John in NJ but it is looking good. Janet with your help found her Valentine in NJ but we are still looking for Samuel B. born in NY. Ralph is closer to finding William Augustus Strong and on the way we discovered that Abigail Crane is descended from Emma Strong Meigs of Chard. So he will be a double Strong from Chard. Lindsey is working with me on Walter Strong of Thetford and we are adding new information to that line. Jean sent me new information for the Mary line. Mike has found is Elanathan Strong and that is new information. I haven't found Sadie or Minerva yet but I'm still looking. If I forgot anyone I apologize. My Dwight volumes are getting a real workout. I am working on gettine the fourth generation of Sarah up. Jean Waters Strong has given me permission to post a land grant to her Elisha in VT and the conflict with NY. This is where many of us are having trouble. Usually in the fifth and sixth generation. I am posting the fifth and sixth generation when anyone sends me new information or is researching a line. Some have been extended a bit further. There is alot of new information up and I am still correcting each line. Happy Hunting Martha
