Hi all, The ancestry of Return Strong's wife Sarah Warham is now up and running at my page under the Triangle section. Also Roger Ludlow's family. Southern Strong Research has been added to also. Hope it helps. Martha

Attention: "Bob T" Strong, Jr. and anyone else familiar with the 1820 Strongs of Smith Co., TN and/or the children of Thomas Strong and Annie Fields of Rockingham Co., NC. I am still trying to find the parents of Hiram Strong, who lists his age as 41 and his state of birth as TN in the 1850 Census for Newton Co., MO. Previously, "Bob T" provided me with some very helpful information on early TN Strongs, including 1820 census information (see his his two replies dated 28 Aug 1998). I had hoped to narrow the field of possibilities by first determining where Hiram and his wife Rebecca, who also listed her state of birth as TN, were married, but have thus far been unsuccessful. Since their first child, John, was born about 1832 in IL, it's conceivable they were married in IL. Since I haven't been able to narrow the field this way, let me try to do so by asking a few more questions of those who possess information about the Strongs of this time and place. "Bob T" suggested that I examine two early TN Strong families for which the sons have not been identified. The first was the family of John Strong of Davidson County, who died about 1815, leaving his wife, Martha (nee Morton) and two adult sons. Since my Hiram was born about 1809, he could not have been one of these adult sons. While it's possible this John Strong may have had younger children, there would have been quite an age gap since the first child had attained adulthood by 1805. This family does not appear to be a fit for my Hiram. The second Strong family that "Bob T" suggested merited scrutiny was Thomas Strong of Davidson County (the Thomas who appears on page 256 of the 1830 Census). It appears this Thomas had five sons under the age of 10 years at the time of the 1830 Census. My Hiram would have been about 21 in 1830, so he does not fit this family's profile. While it's possible that this Thomas had an older son who had moved to IL by 1830, again the gap in ages between my Hiram and the 1830 children is such that this seems unlikely. Thus, this family also does not appear to be a fit for my Hiram. With respect to the pre-1820 Strongs listed by "Bob T" who have not been accounted for, since there is no family information on them I can't rule them in or out. That brings me to the 1820 Census information. There are five Strongs in the 1820 Census who have a male child in the 10-15 age range, which is the age range for a birth date of 1809. These are: David of Giles Co., James of Smith Co., John of Smith Co., Samuel of Smith Co., and Sherwood of Davidson Co. I believe David of Giles Co. and Sherwood of Davidson Co. are of "Bob T's" line, so can be eliminated from further consideration on the assumption that he has accounted for their children. That leaves the Strong families of Smith Co., who "Bob T," citing Jim Rolff, indicates are all brothers who are descended from James Strong of Rockingham Co., NC. Have the children of these families been identified? "Bob T" notes that the 1820 Census compilation by Jackson and Teeples omits some families, such as Mastin Strong of Roane Co., TN. Bob, based upon your knowledge of the omitted families, can I eliminate them? Note that a search for Hiram Strong at the FTM site yields only one southern Strong of this time, and that is Hiram F. Strong, who is listed as the ninth child of Thomas Strong and Annie Fields of Rockingham Co., NC. No date is given for this Hiram's birth, but 1809, the date of birth of my Hiram, seems possible given the range of dates for the other children. Does anyone have information on this Hiram? Given the relative rarity of the name, Hiram, what is the relationship, if any, between this Thomas Strong and the Smith Co., TN Strongs? As always, any information from anyone will be much appreciated. Thanks. Robert E. Strong, Jr.

I have tried for both many years ago...think I will try again.

Hi, The correction was made in Vol IV p. 15-17. That means in Dwight there are 38 pages of descendants of Return in the John line that need to be put under Return Strong. Robert Sheldon Strong the SFAA Historian and I have discussed this error and the many others in Dwight, to help with your research he is sending me the first four generations of the Elder John's children and it will be posted to the Web site. We both hope this will help you to find those missing ancestors. 1. George Stronge 2. John Stronge Sr. 3. Elder John Strong and Abigail Ford 4. Return Strong and Sarah Warham, dau. of Rev. John Warham and Jane Dabinot Newberry daughter of Christopher Dabinot and widow of Thomas Newberry. 5. Lt. Return Strong and Elizabeth Burritt CHILDREN a) Elizabeth Strong b. Nov. 19, 1701 d. Dec. 30 1701 b) Return Strong b. Dec. 30 1702, d. Jan. 24, 1703 c) Return Strong b. Jan 8 1704, d. Jan 10, 1704 d) JOHN WARHAM STRONG B. 1706, d. July 9 1752 e) Elizabeth Strong b. Aug. 13 1706, d. July 9, 1714.

Please follow me on this: I had the following in my database a couple of weeks ago: Parents of John Warham Strong, b. 30 Sep 1706 were John Strong, Jr., b. 1665 and Hannah Trumbull. Then, I read in the SFA Strong Family History Update, Vol. III, page 12, where John Strong, Jr., b. 1665, was NOT married to Hannah Trumbull, instead, was married to Mary Pinney. HOWEVER, John Warham Strong was not listed a one of their children. So, I wrote to you and asked for help in determining who his parents were. You wrote back on 18 Sep to inform me that his parents were: Lt. Return Strong, Jr. and Elizabeth Burrell. Then, I find, on page 20, OF THE SAME VOLUME III, of the SFA Strong Family History Update, that John Warham Strong, b. 30 Sep 1706 was a son of John Strong, Jr and HANNAH TRUMBULL. This book contradicts itself in this matter; and, none of the data found on page 12 or page 20 confirms your suggestion that John Warham Strong's parents were Lt. Return Strong, Jr. and Elizabeth Burrell (Burritt). Please, can you shed some light on this. Which is correct. Who were the parents of John Warham Strong? Also, on page 449 of the same Vol III (SFA History update), it shows the following: "Noah Griswold III is also a descendant of Elder John Strong: (Per History of the Strong Family, by, B. Dwight) 1-1 Elder John Strong and Abigail Ford. 2-3 John Strong, Jr. and Mary Clark 3-41 John Strong and Hannah Trumbull 4-56 John Warham Strong and Azubah Griswold, etc. Now, John Strong who supposedly married Hannah Trumbull (as per above) was a son of John Strong and ELIZABETH WARRINER, not Mary Clark. Still, Mr. Dwight suggests that John Warham Strong was a son of John Strong and Hannah Trumbull. This, of course, was *supposed to be corrected* by Vol. III, page 12: "This John Strong DID NOT marry Hannah Trumble [sic] as stated in the Strong History. Hannah (Smith) Trumble was in fact his step-mother. Again, on this page 12, John Warham Strong was NOT listed as one of the children of John Strong and Mary Pinney.....so, please, who WERE his parents? I look forward to your response.

This message highlights the importance of including your full name and address in your messages, particularly your messages to the Strong Mail List. It is a good idea to include your name as part of your E-Mail address, as you can see illustrated in my "FROM:" address. You can also automatically add a signature block to your messages, also illustrated below. I seem to recall that in JUNO you must create an ASCII signature file as part of activatating this signature block feature. Perhaps some of the JUNO subscribers can provide guidance to <[email protected]> on how to establish and activate a signature block. The Strong Mail List had a couple of subscribers from the Virgin Islands. One has been unable to receive messages the past couple of days and is presumed to have lost Internet Service due to Hurricane Georges. I trust the subscriber is OK. There is no way to get in contact via E-Mail. The subscriber from the Virgin Islands whose mail was not deliverable has been removed from the Strong Mail List. They will need to resubscribe upon resumtion of Internet Service, if that is what occurred. If something like this happens to you, it does not mean you are not welcome on the Strong Mail List. It only means that for administrative expediency, to stop the receipt of many "error" message by the Co-Manager, you have been temporarily removed from the list. Just resubscribe when it is convenient for you to do so. Join in praying for all the families, especially our subscribers, who are in the direct path of Hurricane Georges. "BoB T." Strong Robert T.

=============================================================== Glen Maxey, who is not a subscriber to the Strong Mail List, has graciously provided the following Descendancy Chart for Rev. Samuel Strong of MD?, VA and GA. The Descendancy Chart has been reformatted with shorter lines before being forwarded to the Strong Mail List. This information will be valuable to anyone researching Strongs in Georgia, primarily, and to a lesser degree in Alabama. I believe, for example, that I have seen references to Voca Strong and was at the time unable to place her in a Strong family. The numerals following some given names or middle initials are Generation Numbers. They were probably superscripts in the original docuement. This information will be archived at Rootsweb Genealogical Data Cooperative, where it can be retrieved by current and future researchers.

John Fields married Mary Gibson on Dec. 4, 1776. Mary's parents were: Joseph Gibson and Elizabeth Scales. I have a copy of Joseph Gibson's will if anyone is interested, I will copy it to the Strong List when I return from out of town Sunday or Monday. If this information needs some correcting, feel free to let me know. I am open for any and all information about John Fields and his wife, Mary Gibson. Thanks, Mary Lou in Cincinnati

Dear Tracy and all, Thanks - James Moores Strong was my great-grandfather, on whom I have the 'essential' information, although we're stuck on everything/everyone beyond his father William, except that family tradition says they are of English origin. I though I should post these two notes on other STRANG(E)s I have found who have been recorded in Newfoundland's history as well: >From "When Was That" by H.M. Mosdell: J.C. STRANG, born at Eaglesham, England; came to Newfoundland in 1877; died Jan. 23, 1909 aged 51 years. And from "Ecclesiastical History of Newfoundland" by Rev. M.F. Howley: "In 1593 Richard STRANGE, of Apham, made a voyage [to Newfoundland] with the intention of prosecuting the seal fishery. He made his headquarters at Ramea, on the southern coast."

Hi Mary Lou, I, too, have an interest in John Fields. I don't have much, but here's what I have, which was supplied by Jim Rolff. John A. Fields was the son of Nathanal Fields and Mary ? Nathanal Fields was b. in Virginia, and m. Mary ? in Rockingham Co, NC Nathanal is said to be a veteran of the Revolution. --- John's wife Mary Gibson is daughter of Joseph Gibson and Elizabeth Scales. Elizabeth had a brother named Joseph, but I don't have her parents. As I said, it isn't much, but it's something. If you learn more, I would appreciate it if you'd let me know. My connection, briefly, is thus: Thomas Strong & Annie Fields Thomas Strong & (debateable) William Dodson Strong & Elizabeth Bailey Thomas V.B. Strong & Matilda Ellis Sybil Susan Strong & Fredrick L. Laird Thomas L. Laird & Dolene Moses me. Thanks, Russell Laird >I am new to the list and am looking for any information about John Fields who >was born April 2, 1752 in Hanover County, N.C. He married Mary Gibson Dec 4, >1776 in Guilford County, N.C. Their daughter was Annie Fields born Oct 6, >1777 in Rockingham, N.C. and she married THOMAS STRONG II.

============================================================= Regarding Samuel Strong and his Bridges neighbors in Oglethorpe County, Georgia, I had forgotten about the descendancy chart, posted below, by Johnny Strong, who is not a current subscriber to the Strong Mail List. I would be interested in seeing the documentation for the ancestry of Samuel Strong posted (or re-posted) on the Strong Mail List. There may already be some information in the archived messages. http://newsearches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl The ancestry of Samuel Strong should be of particular interest to the descendants of John Strong, Sr., of St. Martin's Parish, probably New Kent County, Virginia, as Samuel appears in proximity of descendants of John Strong over many years, in both Virginia and Georgia. Was this a mere coincidence? Maybe we need to get better acquainted with the Strongs of Kent County, England?! Martha F. B. Strong, can you help to educated us? Also, a search at Family Tree Maker's site, using Internet Family Finder, indicated that Glen Maxey has posted material about the Samuel Strong family, but the links to those pages were non-functional. Here is his address and phone number: Glen Maxey P. O. Box 2505 Austin, Texas 78768-2505 Telephone: 512-326-2816 Website: http://www.familytreemaker.com/m/a/x/Glen-Maxey E-Mail: [email protected] I hope that Glen Maxey will share whatever information he has about Samuel Strong, his ancestors, and his descendants with the Strong Mail List.

A search program has been installed on the main pages of my two "home pages" on the Renaissance Online server. THE STRONG QUEST: http://ro.com/~rts2/quest THE STRONG-GOSSAGE ANCESTRAL DATABASE: http://ro.com/~rts2/ancestry Note that this applies only to my home pages at Renaissance. For the mirror pages at Tripod, a Pod Search is provided by Tripod. I am greatly indebted to my friend, Wes Coleman <[email protected]> for his programming assistance. Wes installed a search program on his own genealogy web site so I asked if he could assist me to do the same. Some modification were required to adapt the program to my directory structure. Here is Wes' Coleman genealogy page. Scroll down the frame on the left side of the page to find the search feature. http://ro.com/~coleman/genealogy.htm At present the searches are not case sensitive. Wes is motivated to improve the program to make the searches case sensitive. If you have ever searched the Internet for the surname Strong you know how frustrating it is to have every adjective "strong" and every HTML code <STRONG> reported as hits. But with Case Sensitive searches you have to search each possible spelling, such as Strong and STRONG. [Some search engines permit you to exclude the adjective by entering "+Strong -strong" or "Strong not strong".] I will be editing the titles to my WWW pages to make them more descriptive. The titles generated by Family Origins for Windows are non-descript refences to the Generation number in an Ancestry Chart or Descendancy Chart. I hope you will enjoy this enhancement to my web site.

From: "Ernie/Jeanne Arguelles" <[email protected]> Subject: Samuel in GA, 1800 Date: Tue, 22 Sep 1998 00:24:42 -0500 To: [email protected] Reply-To: [email protected] Hello Strong researchers, I'm looking for info on a Samuel STRONG who was living in Oglethorpe Co, GA, in the early 1800s. He was a neighbor of my Solomon BRIDGES. I've hit the old brick wall with the Bridges, so I'm hoping that by learning something about his neighbors, I might find some clue! Any information on Samuel would be wonderful. Thanks! Jeanne Arguelles [email protected] ============================================================ Good Morning, Jeanne! Welcome to the Strong Mail List. Unfortunately, there has been little discussion of this Samuel Strong on the Strong Mail List in the past three years. I cannot recall any past or present subscribers who are descendants of Samuel Strong. There were two other Strong families in Oglethorpe County. John Strong (3rd) was a son of John Strong [Jr.?] of St. Martin's Parish, western Hanover Co., VA, and was probably a grandson of John Strong, Sr., of St. Peter's Parish, probably New Kent County, VA. He appears to have been residing in adjacent Clarke Co., GA, when he died. William Strong of Oglethorpe and Troop Counties, GA, has been purported to have been a son of John Strong of Rockingham Co., NC, and grandson of William Strong, Sr., of Hanover and Pittsylvania Counties, VA, and great-grandson of John Strong, Sr., of St. Peter's Parish, VA. James Robert ("Jim") Rolff included discussions of each of these residents of Oglethorpe County, GA, in his book, THE STRONG FAMILY OF VIRGINIA AND THE SOUTH, (c) 1983, the author. Jim is a subscriber to the Strong Mail List. His E-Mail address is <[email protected]>. A check of the index to the book shows no references to Solomon Bridges. A Mr. Bridges is mentioned in a legal record of William Strong, Jr., Esquire, of Clarke County, GA, however. This William Strong, Jr., was a son of William Strong, Sr., of VA and GA, who was a brother of John Strong of Oglethorpe County, GA. Apparently no information about Samuel Strong and his descendants was submitted for inclusion in STRONG FAMILY HISTORIES, VOLUME V, (c) 1996, The Strong Family Association of America. The implication is that there are few active researchers of this family. Please share any information YOU know about Samuel Strong and his descendants with the Strong Mail List. I have a few bits and pieces of information in my paper files but most of these were contributed to the "Strongs of the South" Newletter edited by Jim Rolff in the early 1980s and were incorporated into his book. I recommend you do a search for your Bridges using the Internet Family Finder. http://www.familytreemaker/ifftop.html Nothing can substitute, however, for searching the court records of Oglethorpe County for the time period of your interest. You should be able to rent these records on indefinite loan from the nearest LDS Family History Center. You will probably find a few references to your ancestor in the Indices of these volumes, but usually only principles are indexed. You really need to scan each page, paying attention to the names of witnesses as well as the name of principles. It is slow process but can yield big dividends. Of course, if you check the indices of published books about Oglethorpe County history and genealogy, you may find some references to your ancestors. Best wishes in your family history, "BoB T." Strong Robert T. Strong, Jr. 119 Mystic Way Madison, Al 35757-8801
