Jim I must be off my speed. Which Biographical symopsis. You mean the one Bob Sheldon Strong emailed the mailing list about? Martha

General Strong is a descendant of Jedediah Strong, son of Elder John Strong. A 7th generation descendant. Benjamin W. Dwight in his "History of the Descendants of Elder John Stronf of Northampton, MA" has a full page biographical synopsis of his activity during the Civil War. If anyone is interested, I can post it at a later date.

Hi Martha... What follows is a followup to my previous communications re the Ffolliott / Folliot family, which MAY be related to the "Ffillot" family mentioned as part of the Warham lineage discussed in your "Southern Triangle" papers. See: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/7905/southern.html Note, I think this material is significant because it MAY provide a link from the "Southern Triangle" to Counties Donegal, Fermanagh, Sligo, and Cork for the Strong families who can be found in the records of each of these counties! It may well be that these families were "planted" in Ireland as under-tenants of the Ffolliotts. I invite further examination and research by interested researchers! The following is quoted from "Donegal History and Society", edited by William Nolan, Liam Ronayne, and Mairead Dunlevy, published by Geography Publications, Dublin, 1995: at pps 185-186, "....in the Civil Survey of 1654 the plain between the Drowes and the Erne, the property of Thomas Lord ffolliott, is firmly described as part of the barony of Tirhugh and the county of Donegal." The following is quoted from "The Folliotts, Wardtown Castle and the Colleen Bawn", by Anthony Begley, published in The Donegal Annual, 1991, at p.61,62-69: ....."Henry Folliott was born at Pirton Court in Worcestershire in 1569, the son of Thomas Folliott and Katherine Lygon. He had one elder brother, Sir John Folliott, who inherited the English lands of the family and a branch of whose family subsequently settled at Hollybrook in Co. Sligo. Henry married Anne, daughter of Sir William Stroude of Stoke-under-Hamden, Co. Somerset, and they had seven children. In May 1594 Henry Folliott was based in the Ballyshannon (Co. Donegal) area, presumably in the military service of the crown.... "In December 1607 the Earl of Tyrconnell complained of "sundry rapes and extortions" of the soldiers of Sir Henry Folliott and for "the said Sir Henry's house, every month there were six beeves and six muttons taken up by his own officers within the barony of TISHERE (Tirhugh) without any payment"... In June 1608 the Castle of Lough Eske was delivered to Sir Henry, and in the same year he sacked Tory Island and killed rebels there". "(During the "Plantation of Ulster",) The Barony of Tirhugh, in which Ballyshannon is situated, was granted to Servitors (ex-army officers), to the Church and to Trinity College, Dublin; The Irish were allowed to remain in the barony and it was planted relatively thinly with Scots and English. Henry Folliott, because of his military service to the Crown, acquired much of the lands in the Ballyshannon area by grant and he also plurchased additional land... (including subsequently the lands of the former Abbey of St. Barnard of Asheroe, located at the present site of Ballyshannon).... "Henry, First Baron Folliott of Ballyshannon, had seven children. Thomas, who became the Second Baron, Michael, Arthur, Charles, Anne, Elizabeth and Frances, who married Sir Robert King, M.P. for Boyle. The First Baron died in 1622.... The inheritance of the First Baron passed to his eldest son Thomas who was only nine years old at the time of his father's death in 1622. During his long minority he was in ward to the King from the 26th February 1623 to 30th May 1634. Thomas, Second Baron of Ballyshannon, married Rebecca French, relict of a Mr. Waterhouse of Dublin. They had four children: Henry, Anne, Rebecca and Elizabeth. An indication of the extent of the Folliott property in the Barony of Tirhugh can be gleaned from the following survey in the 1650's: "Parish of Innishmacsaint.... 1034 acres.... Parish of Kilbarron.... 1187 acres.... Parish of Drumhome.... 520 acres.... Trinity College Lands.... 703 plus acres.... "The Folliotts also held land in Fermanagh, including the Manor of Dumkyn, and in England where Thomas 2nd Baron resided at Ferney Hall in Worcestershire..... "The Jacobite-Williamite Wars saw much military activity in this area. King James II on his arrival in Dublin in 1689 passed an act ...(attainering diverse rebels including Thomas Folliott, John Folliott, and Lord Folliott of Belashannan(sic)").... After King William established his authority in Ireland the parliament passed an ...(act annulling the attainders)... "Sir John Folliott, brother of the First Baron, had a son, Major John, who served in the army in Ireland and whose residence was at St. Finbarres, Cork. Major John Folliott was appoined Commissioner of Donegal in 1646 and he leased Ballymacaward (which was part of the holdings of Trinity College). In 1665 Major John paid taxes on three hearths in Ballymacaward. His two sons Francis and John were engaged in the Inniskilling regiments in the Jacobite-Williamite Wars. John took over the lease on Ballymacaward on the death of his father in 1682. Francis Folliott, Parkhill, Ballyshannon, was M.P. for Ballyshannon in 1692 and uniquely, his brother John was also M.P. in 1692. John Folliott died in 1697 and his wife Lucy remained at Ballymacaward until her death in 1730. Thomas, Second Baron Folliott, died at Ferney Hall, Worcestershire, and was bured in the Chancel of Onibury Church nearby in 1696. In 1697 Henry Folliott was created Lord Folliott and became the Third Baron of Ballyshannon. On acquiring his title he retired as M.P. for Ballyshannon, an office which he had assumed in 1695. "The Third Baron, ... Lord Henry Folliott married Elizabeth Pudsey of Langley, Co. Warwick, and they had one daughter, Rebecca, who died in 1697. On the 17th October 1716 Henry died at his home, Four Oaks Hall, Co Worcester, and he was buried at Sutton Coldfield. As he died without surviving issue, all the unentailed property was divided between his five sisters. The entailed property went to the next male heir, Lieutenant General John Folliott. With the death of Henry Folliott in 1716 the title, Baron of Ballyshannon, became extinct and much of the Folliott property was sold... (to William Connelly, Speaker of the Irish Parliament)... "Lieutenant General John Folliott who had inherited the Third Barons' estate in 1716 also inherited the estate of Robert Folliott, Sligo, who died in 1746. In this way the Sligo property (including Hollybrook) and the Ballyshannon estate of the Folliott family, came into one ownership. On the death of Lieutenenat General Johhn Folliott at Lickhill, Worcestershire, in 1762, the estates in Worcestershire, Sligo, and what remained of the Donegal estate went to his namesake and cousin John Folliott, who had been born in Ballyshannon in 1696, the eldest son of the previously named Francis...." It should be obvious to all concerned that WORCESTERSHIRE figures large in the fortunes of the Folliotts, and it should also be clear that the same English County is the home of many Strongs. It seems almost too much of a coincidence that Strongs are in turn found as tenants in the very lands held by the Folliott family in Donegal and Fermanagh, and perhaps in Sligo and Cork as well (although the situation in the latter two counties has not been verified by me at this time).

Anyone know the relation between these two. Samuel Strong of Oglethorpe co GA left Gabriel W. Grimes as guardian to William Strong, Samuel's Son in the 1830's. I've heard the Strongs and Grimes were related. Thanks for any leads. Kathy

thank you. I have done much work on it this morning. At the moment I am working on a discussion forum forms page. You may see it loaded on the page already. But I am having probs with it working. Welcome to HTML!!!! I have added most of the links to the page. You may want to look at it to make sure they are all there. Also thanks for the use of the logo, but I want this page to load VERY fast for people with slow connections. Remember that Time is very valuable to most of you folks. Remember.... This is your page also... so more info.. Also, while on a recent trip to Washington DC, I took some pictures of some strong headstones (unfortunately my camera stoped working earlier that day). How about a Database with photos of headstones. I will supply the site with links from the main page. If people are interested please e-mail me the raw photo and I will convert to JPEG and will clean up the photo for web use. Also send the info on where the photo was taken and the actual info on the headstone.

Bill, I acquired a this copy of a letter from John Strong([email protected]). He acquired a copy of the letter from The Beaton Institute, located in Nova Scotia about a year ago. I found it of interest. The Nathan written about is five generations back in my Strong ancestry. Henry Chauncey STRONG was born in1791. He is the child of Nathan Strong and Eunice Chalker. Nathan's father was Thomas Strong. I do not think it is this Thomas writing of the letter. Thomas write of Whitestown, Nathan and family settle in Whitestown before 1810 when he moved to Rodman, NY. Jim THE LETTER "To Capt. David Scrantom at Manchester in Novascotia with Care and Speed Dear Brother and Sister my regards to you and ures. I inform you that I am in good health and hope this will find you in joying the same blessing through Divine goodness. Father and sisters are well and the rest of our family and friends sends their regards to you and tis a (nelth ?) time among us Brother.

I am legally changing my name back to Bill Strong in a few weeks. -----Original Message----- From: DBS &/or MD <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Friday, October 09, 1998 12:52 PM Subject: Re: LYDIA M STRONG >To Everyone! > >Every once in a while, I have seen some really delightful and interesting >things written about Strongs...

Hello ... I recently came across this article when reading old newspapers that were given to me. Thought it might be of interest to someone out there. I don't know which Leonard Strong that they are talking about. Article printed in the Winnipeg Free Press Newspaper dated Monday Jan. 29, 1945 OCCIDENTAL LEONARD STRONG IS TYPED AS AN ORIENTAL When Leonard Strong first went on the stage in his native Salt Lake City, he looked so oriental that they made an English butler into a Japanese valet - and gave the part to Strong. That was quite a while ago-but Strong is still having his eyebrows slanted when the occasion demands - and making like an oriental. Since Pearl Harbour, he's made 14 movies that way. In 13 of them he was a Japanese - but in the just released Keys to the Kingdom he's a Chinese-the venerable old mandarin. Strong's ancestors were all good, staunch Welshman or Englishmen. There's not a drop of oriental blood in him. But he doesn't mind taking the Far Eastern roles. "They're all good characters" he says. "In Keys to Kingdom, I was the only occidental playing a Chinese role. All of the rest of the Chinese were the genuine article or Koreans. That put the makeup department to a real test. They had to make me as Chinesey as the Chinese. They tried 15 different makeups before they got one that suited them". To get the Japanese slant to Strong's eyebrows, an ingenious contraption is fitted on his eyelids and his eyebrows are shaved a bit so they tip up-instead of following their normal path. Strong took that first Japanese valet role in Salt Lake City when he was just a youngster. But that was enough to put him on the stage - and keep him there. >From Salt Lake City, he went into stock companies that played up and down the Pacific coast. From stock he went into productions, highlighted by playing the communist in Counsellor at Law with Otto Kruger. From productions, Strong dipped into radio work. He was in radio dramatics when the war came. "I was at one audition with a couple thousand other citizens when a friend of mine happened to mention that his agent was tearing his hair out, hunting for someone to do a Jap part," Strong recalls. "I wandered over-and got the role. That was just after Pearl Harbour. There were no Japanese left on the coast. Chinese refused to play Japanese parts. But the part was a villainous one, the Jap was definately a heel so it was okay with me." In the 12 pictures that followed, Strong had done just about everything in the Jap army and navy. He's been a general, an admiral, a captain, a lieutenant and a sargeant. I hope this is of interest to someone Robyn Z. icqsignature

Dear Bill, Looks great. Will add your link to the SFAA page and Martha's World. You need to add all of the SGEN links. I think you have a winner. Martha
