Hi Martha.... I remember Tom Weir mentioning some time ago that he had a Meigs line.

Hi all, Jerijah, Hannah and Thankful are up. Hester should be up this weekend and Sarah by next week. I will then go back and put in Dwight # Also want to let you know that I will add any new information that comes in. Martha

Dear Dave, Thankyou. He will be surprised that he is a double Strong, descending from Emma Strong of Chard. Martha

I don't have meigs in my line, but how about bats in the belfrey? I checked the Strongville directory and while there is a George B. Strong, no mention of a Samuel B. Also, no Valentine. In fact, the Strongs were only mentioned as one of the founders, and not much else was said about them.

Martha, Henry Sherman Strong s/o Dewitt Clinton Strong and Lavina C. Sherman had two sons I know of right now. Corless and Ross are their names. Corless was alive on July 23, 1917 in Hartford, MI. per Papa Strong's journal. "Found Shepherd folks very bad off. Addie almost helpless & hearing very bad. Fish & folks about the same. Saw Caddie and boys they are doing fairly well. Corless has some good ideas about farm work." I am making the assumption that Addie is Adelaide Medora Vandervoort Shepherd d/o Harriet Eliza Strong. Just food for thought! Jim

Hi all, Does anyone out there have Meigs in there line. If you do please contact me. Martha

Hi All, As most of you know Orville N. Strong (s/o 4728 Nathan s/o 4710-1 Henry C. s/o 4648 Hon. Nathan) mother died when he was 6 years old. I have wondered for years who raised him. In re-reading his journal I have it now. On January 30, 1919 he writes "See account of Henry Shepards death in the paper another one gone. Henry seems more like my parent. Lived so many years with him. Am glad I had chance to see him when did. did not seem to be same last time there 2 years ago. Henry and self done many a days work and outing together. Hope Addie will get along ok and that children will use her well." On four generations you will find 4724-5. iii. Harriet Eliza Strong d/o Henry Chauncey Strong, Durham, CT. m. Clark Vandervoort of Rodman, Jefferson,Co., NY in 1850 they removed to Lawerance, Van Buren Co., MI. Their eldest child was 4735-6. i. Adelaide (ADDIE) Medora Vandervoort b. 4/24/1845 m. Henry Shepherd in 1865. This is the Henry Shepard Orville Nathan Strong is referring to in his journal. If any of the descendants of Adelaide Vandervoort and Henry Shepard subscribe to list please contact me. Jim

Hi all, While looking for other Strongs I came across Theron Strong. s/o John Strong and Hepzibah Roberts. b. Apr. 1, 1787 , p. 266-67 in Dwight Vol. I. Erie PA. the to Louisianna. He m. there and had 3 or 4 children lost his wife and m. again. Went to Texas ......Sabine Texas. d. in New Orleans on a trip of Yellow fever Jun. 1836. Martha

Dear Martha et al, In the interest of pinning down some dates, I took a look at the history of the War of 1812. The war was declared on 1/18/1812. General William Hull took some poorly trained troops, mostly from Ohio across the Detroit River in July 1812. In August, the British showed up and Hull retreated. He than surrendered without firing a shot. The British then sent troops into Ohio, and at various times may have gone as far South as Dayton. The British stayed around until the Summer of 1813 when they lost control of Lake Eire, so the supply lines were cut. In the mean time there were several conscriptions to find troops to meet several threats. I think William was involved in one or more of these. Thanks for clarifying the "Freeman" issue. I suspected that it had more to do with the ability to carry a rifle than a trend to be a church usher. Also, I agree that the family legends must be viewed carefully. The letter that suggests that Abigail was given some money and a horse to go back to CT was written years later by William, one of Alonzo's sons. I didn't mean to infer that Abigail would have traveled to CT on her own. The trip would take at least 30 days and would only be done with other experienced travelers. There would have been plenty of people making the trip from time to time. The Connecticut land company was selling this property as quickly as the could. I don't think William necessarily have to accompany her. I do have a quite a lot of data on Abigail. I'll have to dig it out and put the story together in a single place. Also, I really need to do more research on Ira. He was around to sign a release to the deed to the Illinois Bounty property. I fear I haven't tried to pin down his birth date, but it shouldn't be too difficult to do. I'll work on it. In the small school of Deerfield, OH which is the next township to Atwater, there was a Harold Strong in my class up to the 11th grade. I had thought that he might be connected to Ira, but it turned out not to be true. He put together his genealogy for the SFAA update vol V, and our families do not mesh. If you will indulge me, I will also put information about the Durham, CT property on the forum. There may be some connections to the families involved which could be interesting to others. I visited Durham a few years ago, although we were only there on a Sunday morning. We went through the Old Cemetery, the New Cemetery and wandered around town. The houses are identified as to their owners in the early 1800's or earlier. A real neat town. I spent the day researching data on old airplanes at the Smithsonian. I am about worn out from hunting illusive data. Enough rambling for tonight. Ralph Strong

Hi all. Just have some "filler" information about this couple. John is the grandson of John Strong Jr., son of Josiah Strong (son of "Elder" John Strong). It just so happens that his wife is a relative of mine as well! Abijahia Chappel b. 19, Oct 1704 in Lebanon CT was the dau of Caleb Chappel and Ruth ROYCE Chappel. Ruth was b. April 1669 in CT to Jonathan ROYCE (b. 1631) and his second wife, Deborah CALKINS. Jonathan and Deborah were married in Jun of 1660. Jonathan was a son of Robert ROYCE b. ca 1610 - immigrant from Martock, SOMERSET in the early 1630's. In addition to the family "starting points" being near one another, the Royce family (later changed to Rice) dwelt in the same area as many of our Strong branches. Places like Wallingford, Lebanon and Norwich CT in the 1700's as well as in upstate NY in the 1800's. I always like to have as much information as I can get and I have also seen plenty of references to the CALKINS family in connection with STRONGS so, I thought I would pass it on.
