Hi, 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. Thanks in advance for help. Mary Lou Meade Newman Cincinnati, Ohio

This is really going to be interesting to follow through on. The nearest really good genealogical library is at Western Reserve Historical Society Library in Cleveland, but we're hoping to get up there next weekend. I can really focus on Isaiah, and also on Noah. Fountain was listed in the History of DeKalb County as being one of the "early settlers", meaning between 1844 and 1847, but there's no other information on him. So I'll try to find a census record on him also. > After having retrieved your inital post to the Strong Mail List, giving > a brief outline of your Strong ancestry, I went back to the Isaiah Strong > database and found you and your family listed.

David R. Strong (your E-mail address not known by network) I do have a photo of the stone erected in the Northampton Cemetery. The quality of the photo leaves things to be desired but I will let send it to you if you will return it when you are finished using it. In 2000 when the SFAA holds their annual business meeting in Northampton, I hope to get a better one. I will need your home address.

Holy Cow!!! This is really exciting. And I will definitely try all you suggest. I'm having a trauma right now, because my Family Tree Maker program froze up on me yesterday and won't open. All night I tossed and turned, feeling that my entire ancestral line was in cyberspace somewhere, although I know I can always reinstall and reenter my data from a backup disk. But I have so many other things on my list this morning that I may not have time, and it's frustrating to see all this stuff come to me when I'm kind of crippled with technological ineptitude. I'll get back to you.

============================================================== ATTENTION: Sue Strong Hassler In my last message I pointed out that in 1850 both Isaiah Strong and Noah Strong were residing in Greene County, MO. You have recently reported that in the 1850s a Fountain Strong was residing in DeKalb Co., MO, where Isaiah Strong subsequently also settled. Wade R. Watts <[email protected]> posted this abstract of the Strongs in Greene County, MO, in 1850: ================================ 1850 census---Greene Co. MO (also SW MO) Noah 41, b. TN [born about 1809] Mary 38, b. TN Caroline 19, b. MO (all children listed as b. in MO) Rhoda J. 14 Josiah T. 18 Mary L. 13 Charles W. T. 10 John R. 8 William H. G. 2 also Greene Co. Isaac Strong 35 b. TN [born about 1815] Terrisa 24 b. NC John T. 6 b. MO (all children b. MO) Robert L. 3 James R. 7/12 Do not know the relationship, if any, between Noah and Isaac. Does anyone out there know the origins of these families? ========================================== The above family is definitely that of Isaiah Strong, not Isaac Strong. The record is consistent with the reported 1844 marriage of Isaiah Strong in Missouri to L. "Turesa" [Theresa?} Daily. The eldest son, John T. Strong, was born within a year of the marriage. ========================================== I received a letter from Owen L. Fry, Post Office Box 266, Frederick, Oklahoma 73542-0266, dated 1 SEP 1986, concerning Noah Strong. Mr. Fry enclosed a Family Group Sheet with this additional information. Noah Strong died intestate on 4 JAN 1861 in Webster County, Missouri. His estate was administered by Mary Strong and Josiah Strong. They were apparently appointed on 10 JAN 1861. See also Probate Jacket No. 779, Record Book pages 404, 434-435. Other references: 1850 census, Robinson Township, Greene Co., MO; 1860 census, Washington Township, Webster County, MO; correspondence with Mrs. Mary K. Quinn Maxwell, 1914 North C (Street?), Arkansas City, Kansas 67005. =========================================== In the past I have proposed that Noah Strong was likely the same person as N. F. Strong, age 20-29, who appeared on the 1830 census of Giles County, TN, and who was enumerated on successive lines with David Strong, age 50-50. (David was over 45 in 1820 which means he was over 55 in 1830.) This data is strongly suggestive that N. F. Strong was a son of David Strong. In 1830, N. F. Strong appeared to have a young wife, age 10-14 years. He obviously departed Giles County prior to the 1840 census. The census records of Noah Strong indicates he was in Missouri in 1831 when his eldest daughter was born. Wade R. Watts reported that Noah Strong settled first in Barry County, TN, where a Horace Strong was also residing. From Barry County, Noah Strong relocated to Greene County, or at least the jurisdicition changed. N. F. Strong apparently had a brother, Franklin Strong, who also appeared on the 1830 census of Giles County, TN. It has been reproted to me that in 1850 a Franklin Strong was enumerated on the census of Polk Co., MO. Is it possible that Noah Strong and Fountain Strong are the same person? A comparison of the 1850 census of Noah Strong and the later census of Fountain Strong should be made to see if they are the same person. If Noah and Fountain are the same person and Isaiah Strong is found in the same vicinity over several decades, it would, in my opinion, suggest a familial relationship. I can find no references to Isaiah Strong in my Giles County, TN, notes, however. After having retrieved your inital post to the Strong Mail List, giving a brief outline of your Strong ancestry, I went back to the Isaiah Strong database and found you and your family listed. Did you submit this GEDCOM to Family Tree Maker in 1966? >From the GEDCOM, if you are interested, I can create your Strong Ancestry Chart to be posted on the Strong Roots Database.

ATTENTION: Sue Strong Hassler <[email protected]> ============================================================== Date: Wed, 26 Nov 1997 11:23:12 -0500 From: "Donald M. Hassler" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: STRONG, Isaiah I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Sue Strong Hassler, from Kent, Ohio. My father was Marion R. Strong, b.. 1909 (Oklahoma). My grandfather was William W. Strong, b. 1879 (Mo.). Greatgrandfather was James Ray Strong, b. 1850 (Mo.), Greatgreat grandfather was Isaiah Strong, b. 1820 in Tennessee. I'm stuck right there. Don't know who his father was at all. He married Louisa Turesa Daily in 1844. I found him on an 1860 census in Greene County, Mo., but haven't been able to go back any further. ----------deleted---------- Sue Hassler =============================================================== I believe you will find the Isaiah Strong household on Microfilm Page 379, Jackson Township, 1850 census of Greene County, Missouri. On Page 281, Robinson Township, Greene County, Missouri, 1850 census, the Noah Strong household is enumerated. So this raises the question: Were Isaiah and Noah Strong possibly related? You might want to visit the archived messages for the Strong Mail List and do a search of the messages about Noah Strong, for example, "Noah and MO". Start on this page. http://newsearches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl I believe Wade Watts <[email protected]> was the person who was doing research on Noah Strong for a modemless friend. He is not a current Strong Mail List subscriber. I will send him a carbon of this message. In conjunction with the discussion of Noah Strong, there were several other subscribers to the Strong Mail List who indicated they were researching Strongs in Southwestern Missouri. Although in different counties, some of these may have been in fairly close proximity. You might want to do a search of archived messages for any Strongs in "Missouri" and "MO". >From an LDS Family History Center near you, you should be able to order on indefinite loan the court records of Greene County, MO, such as deeds, marriage records, etc. These could contain some valuable clues. Nothing takes the place of nitty-gritty study of courthouse records. It is a slow process but can pay high dividends. Some records may not be indexed or the index may be inadequate, so you just sit down before a microfilm reader and scan every page. First, though, please abstract the 1850 census of Isaiah Strong in Greene County, MO, and post the abstract on the Strong Mail List. "BoB T." Strong Robert T. Strong, Jr. 119 Mystic Way Madison, Al 35757-8801

Does anyone have anything on him? What chance that > they're related somehow? > Sue Strong Hassler I was unable to find any informaton on Fountain Strong, but following below is some information about Isaiah Strong and his descendants. What is the earliest date you can prove that Isaiah Strong was in Missouri? If Fountain Strong appeared on the 1850 or later census, please post his age and where born. How long in Missouri as indicated by birth places of children? Were any children born elsewhere? If you have places of birth for the children of Isaiah Strong, that information would be helpful too. For both Isaiah Strong and Fountain Strong: in 1880 where did their surviving children report their father was born? A study of their neighbors and associates as indicated by deeds, census records, and witnesses to legal documents might provide some clues. "BoB T." Strong =============================================================== TWO GENERATIONS OF DESCENDANTS OF ISAIAH STRONG, b. 1820, TN > MO > d. 1898, KS The following information was derived from a database that was contributed to the Banner Blue Division, Broderbund Software, and was published in 1966 on World Family Tree CD #4, Tree #2157. The name of the contributor was not indicated in the GEDCOM. The contributor obviously had access to more data than the 1870 census of DeKalb County, MO, as suggested by the Source Notes. Broderbund cites itself (WFT CD#4) as the source of most of the data. Doesn't that seem to be a totally absurd thing for Broderbund to do?! It would appear that Isaiah Strong was the son of some Strong male who was residing in Tennessee at the time of the 1820 census, who was married at the time of the 1820 census, and who relocated to Missouri after 1820. No information was included in the database regarding where, in Tennessee, Isaiah Strong was born or who were his ancestors. Only the first two generations of the descendants of Isaiah Strong are reported below. Persons desiring a GEDCOM of this database, with additional generations, should contact me via private E-Mail at <[email protected]>. Source Notes are indicated by the numerals in parentheses. The database contained no general notes. Many thanks to Russell L. ("Russ") Laird for providing a copy of this GEDCOM to the undersigned. Robert T.

============================================================= There is a good bit of material of general interest in this issue of Rootsweb Review, so I am forwarding it to the Strong Mail List, abridged to reduce the size of the message. Discussed are the recent woes at Rootsweb, upgraded hardware, and some tips on how to preserve your genealogical data for posterity. This last mentioned discussion hits "close to home" for me, as it should for all of the Senior Citizens who subscribe to the Strong Mail List. Ultimate Family Tree, by Palladium Interactive, is an official sponsor of the Rootsweb Genealogical Data Cooperative, so each issue of RootsWeb Review contains an article endorsing their products. Other genealogical database software programs that will create GEDCOM to HTML pages are the current versions of Family Tree Maker for Windows and Family Origins for Windows. I recommend "test driving" each of these program before making a choice. "BoB T."

On Saturday, we lost lists.rootsweb.com -- one of RootsWeb's two main mailing list servers -- when it was penetrated by a cracker. We were cracked through the inattentiveness of a user with privileged access to the machine, and will be more careful about granting direct access to RootsWeb servers in future. There is no sensitive or private data on this machine, only mailing list archives, so no one's privacy was compromised. However, the individual who entered the system wiped out two directories essential to running the machine ("/etc" and "/var/log"), which meant that to make the machine usable again we'd need to reinstall part of it from scratch. Brian Leverich worked through the weekend to rebuild the server and reinstall the operating system, but the process did not go smoothly; mysterious hardware troubles kept cropping up. While wrestling with these problems he decided to use the "down time" to good advantage by replacing the old machine, a Pentium Pro 200 with slow 60-nanosecond EDO memory, with a Pentium II 400 with fast 6-nanosecond SDRAM memory, estimated to improve performance by a factor of 2-6. Dr. Leverich assembled the new server over Saturday night and Sunday. On Monday, Tim Pierce and Randy Winch went over the operating system painstakingly, file by file, to ensure that the intruder left behind no back doors or Trojan horses. On Monday night, Tim and Karen Isaacson rebuilt the missing /etc directory, from memory and a little detective work. By late Monday night, the new server had begun processing the backlogged mail that had accumulated over the weekend. Fortunately, the extra work on the new server paid off: the megabytes of backed-up mail that would have taken the old machine days to process were finished off by the new system in about 12 hours. So although our down time was about a day and a half longer than we expected, the result is a RootsWeb that's faster, more efficient and better equipped to serve the needs of Internet genealogists. Thanks to all for your patience while we recovered from this disaster. We are especially grateful to RootsWeb's Members, Sponsors, Donors, and Patrons, who have collectively made it possible for us not only to repair the crippled operating system, but also to increase the server's capacity so everyone benefits. ROOTSWEB ON TV? (by Karen Isaacson). As if there weren't enough else going on here this week, we also had a TV crew at our house on Monday, filming for a program about genealogy online. They were here from about 10:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. and filmed on our deck (they loved the trees and mountains, though the noisy birds annoyed the woman in charge of sound), in our living room, and upstairs in the computer room. They even have footage of Brian with his hands in the guts of a server, as he worked to get lists.rootsweb.com back online. Totally ignoring helpful advice from one of the editors of this tome ("Put Vaseline on your teeth, don't wear plaid..."), we responded to a series of questions like, "Is information on the Web reliable?" and "Are there mailing lists besides ROOTS-L?" Brian did pretty well, but I freeze in this sort of situation, so they got a lot of footage of me going, "Um...." ROOTS-L is the only mailing list, right? Anyhow, Cyndi Howells flew down for the day, and gave a lovely interview and set them straight, so no harm done. The program is to be aired in about six weeks. We'll post the details about when and where once we have them. TODAY'S ADVENTURES AT ROOTSWEB (by Dr. Leverich). Many folks may have noticed that the main Web server for IIGS, RootsWeb, USGenWeb, and WorldGenWeb was down for about two hours this Wednesday morning. The reason was that we were physically moving the server from its old home at DataCourse.com (where it was filling two T1s) to Lightspeed.net (where it has access to a T3 (28xT1) connection to the Internet). That gives us plenty of bandwidth and allows us to continue adding new services for genealogists. There were no casualties excepting a few innocent bystanders who bruised themselves rolling on the sidewalk laughing at the sight of the middle-aged and pudgy Leverich sprinting wobbly but rapidly through downtown Bakersfield, while juggling a 70-pound server and dozens of cables and accessories.

For membership details, please visit: <http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/how-to-subscribe.html> * * * * * NOW WHAT DO I DO WITH ALL OF THIS STUFF? by Edward Henry Gaulin (Sr.) <[email protected]> A message on the Internet caught my eye the other day and I can't get it out of my mind. A West Coast genealogist had been exchanging information with a researcher in Virginia for some time. Then it happened. Her last message bounced -- it couldn't be delivered as the address no longer existed. Fortunately she had received a number of family group sheets from her correspondent which listed a telephone number. When she called the number a man answered, so she asked for her Internet friend and, after a slight hesitation was told, "Oh, Mary Ann passed away three weeks ago." Shocked, but ever gracious, she expressed her sympathy and commented how close this long-distance relationship had become and how it will be missed by her. The husband explained that he was sorry that he couldn't be of any help because he really didn't know much about what his wife was doing with her genealogy. Perhaps you too have noticed at genealogical gatherings that the average age of the participants is something in excess of 39 years, at least judging by hair color. Most of us really don't have a lot of time to devote to our hobby until after the kids are grown, out of school and we've retired. Then it is no longer a hobby, it becomes an obsession. At some point in our continuous search for dead people, our ancestors, we recognize our own mortality and start to think about a permanent home for our research. If our children or grandchildren appear to be interested, we have it made, but frequently that's not the case. Then what happens to our "stuff"? Genealogists are usually pretty smart people, until it comes to providing for the distribution of their genealogical assets. The latter, in my case anyway, is a room full of books, journals, magazines, pamphlets, maps, photographs, brochures, newsletters, computer equipment and furniture (desk, chairs, file cabinets, tables, lamps, etc.). The files are loaded with folders bearing family and town names, historic events, and a bunch labeled "MISC." There are miles of computer printouts, hundreds of photocopies, and many "original" vital records. My desk is usually loaded with correspondence awaiting an answer -- either mine or from someone else. What should my wife do with all this stuff when I make the ultimate research trip -- a personal meeting with my ancestors? Some of our brighter colleagues say "My college library is getting all my stuff" or it's going to the local public library or to the LDS Family History Library in Salt Lake City or even to the Library of Congress. Well, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but unless you are a celebrity or a huge financial donor, these institutions probably won't want your material -- they just don't have room for it. They would be grateful for a copy of your book, but they might not want the manuscript or research notes. The FHL would appreciate a GEDCOM disk of your genealogy database files, but it doesn't want your paper pedigree charts or family group sheets. So what are your spouse and children to do with all of your stuff? They could really do a couple of dumb things with it if you don't provide guidance to them while you still can. It could be placed in the weekly trash collection and don't say "They wouldn't do that" because it unfortunately happens all the time. How about a garage sale? Now that is really scary, but it also happens every day. Remember all those old photos and tintypes you have seen in flea markets? How about all those bargain genealogy books you bought because you got to that garage sale before the dealers did? They all had to come from someplace. What should you do to insure the sane distribution of your genealogical assets? Perhaps the first thing is to make a record of what you have and then try to keep it current. Show the acquisition date and how much you paid for each item on the inventory sheets. This is especially helpful for artifacts, collections, and books. A photographic record of these items, including those of rare books, could also be useful. Microfilm, microfiche and complete photocopies of books and some records have value. Back issues of many journals, newsletters, and magazines are also in demand by genealogists and therefore have value. However, if you don't tell them what is valuable, your heirs probably won't know. Now that you have identified your assets, you need to tell someone what you want done with them. Maybe the simplest way is to prepare a letter to your heirs, but remember this lacks the force of law. If they want to, they can toss everything in the trash. A better way to provide for the distribution is in your will, particularly if you also designate sufficient funds to carry out your wishes. Your Last Will and Testament is also where you may make specific bequests: your copy of the 1898 edition of Burke's Peerage to your FGS Conference roommate or your old roll-top desk to your newest granddaughter. Your wishes can now be enforced by the courts, if necessary. If you still want to have any of your assets given to your alma mater or a local library or anywhere else, personally contact that agency and discuss the possibility -- right now. It won't come as a surprise to them and they should be able to advise you immediately of any conditions of acceptance. If you can support those conditions, ask for a written acknowledgment that can be placed with your will. Some other things that you can do right now are to distribute copies of your research among your family, friends, and, perhaps, local or national libraries. This is simple if you have progressed to the book-writing stage, but don't be too concerned if you haven't. Many genealogists assemble their pedigree charts, group sheets, pertinent vital records, selected family photographs, and other important documents in notebook form. They write a brief introduction, provide a table of contents, and sometimes an index before having copies made for distribution. Afterwards, the notebook can be kept current with a new year's letter which might include new charts and photos. Computerized genealogical data can be distributed in the same way on diskette. Sometimes an envelope or jacket is provided in the notebook described above to house data disks. Another way some researchers try to insure the safeguarding of their electronic data is to submit it to the LDS Ancestral File (tm) or one or more of the other commercial collections. If you don't know how to do this, consult your local genealogical society or Family History Center or even the public library for instructions. Another thing you can do right now to benefit your heirs is to clean up your files. Eliminate unnecessary correspondence and duplicate copies of records. Toss out all those old printouts you made in 1984 on your Apple IIe computer. Sell all the "Genealogical Helper" magazines you have saved since 1973, because you will never open one of them again and you know it. If you get 50 cents each for them you can have a pretty good dinner. Give away all that old computer software that is taking up room on your bookshelves -- it's probably not worth anything anyway. Label your photographs, and diskettes too. I find it a bit morbid, but you may wish to write your epitaph and select your tombstone now to insure future researchers will not encounter some of the same problems that you've had. If you decide to follow some of these suggestions, when you do eventually meet your ancestors they may thank you for perpetuating their memory. They may also show you where you made some of your mistakes and be able to fill in a few of the blank spaces in your previous research. Remember, do it now; there may be no tomorrow. * * * * * For an index to most user mailing lists hosted by RootsWeb, visit <http://www.rootsweb.com/~maillist/>.

Internet Web pages, also often referred to as home pages, are an easy alternative for genealogists to the more traditional publishing avenues. However, unless you wish to become versed in the art of Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML), the backbone of Web pages, you probably are more frustrated by the prospect of posting your family history on the Web than you are about publishing it in a book. In May, 1996, Palladium Interactive offered genealogists an answer to this frustration with its genealogy software, Family Gathering. Built into the program is the ability to create an Instant Web Page. With the click of a mouse and some simple choices made, Family Gathering creates the necessary files that became your family history Web page. And Family Gathering took this one step further by automating the uploading of these files to the Palladium Web site. Now you no longer needed to know how to upload files to a server, which carried its own jargon such as FTP, TAR and other cryptic acronyms. Today, Ultimate Family Tree carries on this tradition. In fact it has an ever-growing area on its Web site <http://www.uftree.com> that displays these family history Web pages. * * * * * ROOTSWEB REVIEW is e-mailed on Wednesdays to all RootsWeb Members, subscribers to RootsWeb-hosted mailing lists, submitters to the RootsWeb Surname List (RSL), and other RootsWeb users.

=============================================================== Your query on a USGenWeb site was recently located using the Surname Helper Surname Search at Rootsweb Genealogical Data Cooperative. You inquired about Susan Strong who married (1.) William Cowan McClellan, who died in 1869, after which she married (2.) a Mr. West. Susannah Elizabeth Strong was a daughter of Charles Waite Strong and Didama Allison Humphrey. She was born 28 JUN 1844, obviously in Madison County, AL. Her first marriage was on 17 OCT 1866 in Madison County, AL, recorded in Marriage Book 5. Her second husband was David K. West. See marriage record below. With my marriage note, I have a note that Miss Willie McClellan, granddaugher of Charles W. Strong, died 1955. I am in possession of a transcript of a "Family History by Charles Strong Written before Civil War (Written 1834)". Unfortunately I did not record the complete bibliographic citation but it appears to be a volume of ALABAMA RECORDS, Pages 101-108. Miss Willie was credited with preserving these family records, which were reassembled by Mrs. Catherine Gilliam. See below regarding Mrs. Gilliam. Included in these records is a transcript of the Family Bible, printed 1818, register of George and Mary ("Polly") Strong. The Charles W. Strong family was enumerated in Madison Co., AL, in 1860 in Dwelline 216. Susanah E. Strong, age 16, born AL. On the 1870 census of Madison Co., AL, Susana McClelland, age 23, was enumerated in Dwelling 253. He parents were enumerated in Dwelling 251. Charles, age 65 and Didama, age 61, both listed their place of birth as Virginia. Here is the descent of this family as I know it: 1. John Strong, Sr., resided St. Peter's Parish, VA, from before 1698 to after 1703, during which three sons were christened. Except for the records of the three christenings, little else is known about him. His wife has not been identified. 2. John Strong, Jr., christened in 1698, died by 1751 in St. Martin's Parish, western Hanover County, VA. His widow was likely Mary Strong. Several other members of his family were identified in the records of a general store operated by "Col." John Chiswell, most importantly Martin Strong. John Strong, III, mentioned in the next paragraph, swore that Martin was his brother and that is the key that unlocked some of the secrets about this family. The above are presumed to have been the ancestors of: 3. Nathaniel Strong, Sr., was born about 1744, probably in St. Martin's Parish, western Hanover Co., VA. In the late 1760s he was an overseer on a plantation located in St. Martin's Parish, SE Louisa County, VA, and also working as an overseer on another nearby plantation was John Strong, III, son of John Strong, Jr. These two then relocated to Goochland County, VA, John about 1770 and Nathan before 1776, when a son was born in Goochland County. Nathan appears to have lived with John and family, including Mary Strong, probably their mother. Nathan purchased some of John Strong's land and conitinued to live in Goochland County until near 1815. One of his neighbors was Mrs. Ann Stanley Strong, my ancestor, who was apparently the widow of Martin Strong, died about 1780, probably in Hanover County. (Another brother, Sherwood, I, died by 1779, probably in Hanover County, without a son to inherit his military land grant; he may have never married.) About 1812 Nathan, Nathan, Jr., George, and Thomas Strong obtained land grants (deeds) of a section (160 acres) each in Madison County, AL. They did not occupy this land until several years later, however, as proved by tax lists which included no poll taxes. The wife of Nathan Strong was Catherine "Callichan" or Callahan, as recorded by the Rev. Dr. William Douglas, the minister for St. James Northam Parish, Goochland County, VA. (The vital records of this parish were published in a book called THE DOUGLAS REGISTER.) The parents of Catherine have never been identified. Nathan Strong died in Madison Co., AL, in 1823. His will was proved at the AUG 1823 court and was recorded in Probate Record Book 3, Page 10. His will was contested by George Strong and Abraham Loving, a son-in-law. Catherine Strong died in Madison County in 1828. The four original Strong grants were located along New Market Pike, now Winchester Road. There is a bend in the road east of North Memorial Parkway and the Valhalla Memorial Cemetery is located near that bend. The bend was located on the grant to Nathan Strong, Sr. The Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University is now located nearby. 4. George Strong was born around 1770. Some records say 15 JAN 1773. It is uncertain whether his parents were in Louisa or Goochland County at that time. He married in Goochland County, VA, on 6 JUN 1797 to Mary ("Polly") East. She was a daughter of Benjamin East (1759-1809) and Nancy Pruitt (1760-1800) of Goochland County. George Strong and my ancestor, Sherwood Strong, III, migrated to what is now called Middle Tennessee around 1805 or 1806. It is uncertain whether they travelled together. George acquired land in the part of Rutherford County that was later to become Bedford Co., TN, and he lived there on the Duck River about 10 years. George's younger brother, Nathan, Jr., possibly resided with him during the War of 1812, when Nathan, Jr., was single and was a commissioned officer (Lieutenant). Sherwood settled in Sumner County, later moving to Davidson County then to Rutherford County, where he died in the mid-1830s. George Strong died without a will on 18 AUG 1834 in Madison Co., AL, and is buried in a cemetery located off "Meridian Pike", between Huntsville and Meridianville, AL. Also buried there is Mary East Strong, who died 18 or 19 FEB 1842. See ALABAMA RECORDS, Volume 103 regarding the estate settlement. I once tried unsuccessfully to visit this cemetery, which appears to be located about a quarter mile off the highway in the middle of a large cotton field with no road leading to the cemetery. The site can be seen from U. S. Highway 231 to the East, where Meridian Street and North Memorial Parkway (Highway 231) intersect. 5. Charles Waite Strong was born 11 AUG 1804 in Goochland County, VA. He and Didama Allison Humphrey were married on 10 OCT 1828, probably in Madison County, AL. He died on 23 FEB 1871 and is reportedly buried in a Strong Cemetery at Mount Charron, now a suburb on the north end of Huntsville, AL. This site is on the opposite side of U.S. Highway 231. I also tried unsuccessfully to locate these grave markers. They were buried near a home which was said to have been built by Charles W. Strong from an abandoned river boat salvaged from the Tennessee River. [There is an article entitled "Historic Homes" by Pat Jones, dated 1923, which describes this home. There is a copy in the vertical files of the Heritage Room at the Huntsville-Madison County Public Library. Attached are genealogical notes compiled in 1968 for Lucille ("Lula ") Strong Powell, b. 1887, by Catherine Kelly Gilliam.] Didama Humphrey was born on 2 JUL in 1806 or 1809, possibly in Bedord Co., VA, She was the daughter of David Humphrey and Sarah ("Sallie") Blankenship. David Humphrey appears on the 1850 census of Madison Co., AL, Page 364B, Dwelling 7. See also ALABAMA RECORDS, Page 36, regarding his heirs. Didama died 25 JAN 1878 at the reported age of 68. Charles W. and Didama Strong were the parents of about a dozen children, gleamed from census records, the Catherine Gilliam notes, and court records, some of which are abstracted in ALABAMA RECORDS. Charles Strong appeared on the Madison County, AL, census 1830-1870. He received land grants of 80 and 40 acres in Madison County in 1851. 6-01: Mary Ann Strong 6-02: George Mastin Strong, M.D. 6-03: David Crawford Strong (possibly Civil War causualty) 6-04: Sallie Belinda Strong 6-05: Pleasant DeKalb Strong ("insane" on 1860 census) 6-06: Frances Peytrey Strong 6-07: Robert Nathaniel Strong (CSA Army) 6-08: Susannah Elizabeth Strong 6-09: Nancy Ann ("Nannie") Strong [possibly Nancy Virginia Strong), d. age 20, 23 JAN 1869 6-10: Cornelia Webster Strong 6-11: California ("Callie") Strong 6-12: Henrietta Exine Strong 6-13: possibly Charles Strong (mentally retarded?)

Although I've asked about Isaiah Strong (living in DeKalb County, Mo.) in the past and had little luck, there's also a Fountain Strong living there around 1850. Does anyone have anything on him?
