I really do not have anything to contribute , My Strong Tomes are in Fla now with my Daughter.

Dear Carla, You need to contact the SFAA Historian. The ancestors you are looking for are in the Update Books and he should be able to help you. <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/4715/">SFAA Homepage</A> Martha

Dear Robert, Tell us what you know about your family and maybe we can help. You may also want the contact the SFAA Webpage sinces Dwight was one of the founders and they may have what you need. <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/4715/">SFAA Homepage</A> Martha

Sorry, as I said I have not done much searching,and my daughter has the Tomes I purchased from Dwight Strong and she lives in Fla. Sorry no help.

Dear Robert; Welcome to the List, if you happen to have anything about Joel Strong of Hampden, MA ( or Tolland) please send me a note. Apparently his wife was Eunice Bascom. He is living in Granville, MA in 1790. Stephen Bancroft, neighbor md. Sarah Strong, I am thinking it must be Joel, Sr's Sarah, however I cannot find a marriage record for them( c. 1773). All of their children were born in Granville, MA, they removed in 1795 with other families for Monroe Co. NY and then on to Ontario, then Onondaga Co. NY. Thank you, Carla Davenport P.S. Stephen is the son of Thomas Bancroft and Jemima (Cooley) Bancroft of Granville.

I am Robert Broughton Strong, born Jan 2 1920 in Marblehead Mass, I have not done much searching of archives for my roots except for the purchase of two large volumes of the early Strongs by Dwight Strong of Boston, I believe he is quite elderly now and do not know if he has any of the volumes left. I would enjoy e-mail contact with other Strongs in the New England area,as you see I'm quite elderly myself. I'm a retired USAF Pilot and Lt. Col.

================================================================ THE ROOTSWEB SERVER IS BACK ON LINE THIS MORNING! POSTING OF MESSAGES TO THE STRONG MAIL LIST MAY RESUME. ================================================================ X-From_: [email protected] Sun Sep 13 21:37:14 1998 Reply-To: <[email protected]> From: "Don and Linda Clark" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Subject: Strong info Date: Sun, 13 Sep 1998 22:34:29 -0400 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Internet Mail 4.70.1161 Dear Mr. Strong: My (now deceased) Grandmother Marie Stevenson Jefferson married Alexi Alexandervitch Strong (Alex to us) in Grenwich Village in the 40's. He was a handsome full-blooded Russian. They had an interesting life together and they had a son Michael Strong. My Step-Grandfather Alex died this year and we got some family history info. that directly linked him to the late Czar of Russia. Are you all Russian Strongs? The name Strong was to them something like "Straum" or similar in Russia. Alex was very smart and cut stones (lapidary work) and loved Art and history. My Uncle Michael Strong is a dispatcher for the Long Island Railroad and his E-mail address is <[email protected]> should you want to contact him. Your website is very nice. Hope to have one one day too! Linda Carver Clark [email protected] ================================================================ TO: [email protected] (Linda Carver Clark) CC: [email protected] (David B. Strong), [email protected] (Michael Strong) FROM: [email protected] (Robert T. Strong, Jr.) SUBJECT: Alexi Alexandervitch Strong, immigrant from Russia DATE: 13 SEP 1998 Greetings, Linda! Thank you for visiting my web site and for contacting me by E-Mail and introducing your Strong ancestors. I am assuming that you visited The Strong Quest web site. I have a second web site called "The Strong-Gossage Ancestral Database", also known as "A Strong Heritage". These are the primary URLs of the two web sites: http://ro.com/~rts2/quest http://ro.com/~rts2/ancestry I am also assuming you reside in or near Beaufort County, South Carolina, on the Atlantic coast very near the Florida border. No, we are not all Russian Strongs. Actually most of the subscribers to The Strong Mail List, now approximately 170, are of British ancestry: England, Scotland, and Ireland. The largest subgroup traces their ancestry to the West County of England: Devon, Dorset and Somerset Shires (Counties). My own ancestry is not proved but is assumed to be English, also. As you browse more on The Strong Genealogy Network, you will get a better idea of the origins of the Strongs who have been in the past or are at present subscribers to the Mail List, plus some "visitors" who have never been subscribers, too. >From my own research I know of Strongs from other nations, such as Germany. Yours is the first Strong family that has come to my attention with roots in Russia. You are invited to share more details about your Strong ancestry. You can do this in one of several ways. On The Strong Quest, if you complete the Guest Register, there is a questionnaire about your Strong ancestry. That is, you can submit an Ancestor Chart in a structured fashion, providing as much detail as you wish. (The more details the better.) Or you can submit a GEDCOM to me of the descendants of your earliest Strong ancestor. I will convert that to HTML pages and post your direct ancestry on The Strong Roots Database operated jointly with James E. Gilbert, using his web site on the HiWAAY.Net server. Or you can submit an ancestor or descendancy chart as a message to The Strong Mail List, but you need to subscribe to the Mail List first. The Rootsweb List Server "crashed" yesterday, so we are temporarily out of business, but this should be resolved within a day or two. Instructions for how to subscribe are posted on The Strong Quest web site. If you attempt to subscribe and your message "bounces", try again in a couple of days. Here is the URL for The Strong Roots Database: http://fly.hiwaay.net/~jgilbert/main/srd-toc.htm When The Strong Mail List is back online, I would like to forward your message and my reply to the Mail List for distribution. There are serveral persons who subscribe to the Mail List who are researching their earliest known ancestors named Michael or Micheal Strong. David B. Strong is doing a rather scholarly "lineages directory" of Strongs, particularly those from Britain and Ireland, and I am sure he will want to add your Strong lineage to the directory on his web site. See Chapter 13 of his online manuscript at this URL: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/7530 Best wishes in your Strong research. Please keep me and other subscribers to The Strong Mail List informed of your progress. These invitations are extended to your Uncle, Michael Strong, to whom I am sending a copy of this message. Bob Robert T. Strong, Jr. 119 Mystic Way Madison, Al 35757-8801

=============================================================== To: ALL Strong Mail List Subscribers As announced in a message from Rootsweb Genealogical Data Cooperative, the Strong Mail List is likely to be offline for several more days. In the meantime, if you have data that is of general interest to Strong-L subscribers and you wish to distribute the information as soon as possible, send the message addressed to me, ATTENTION: Strong-L, and I will distribute it to all subscribers. I will include a copy to Strong-L to get the message into the archived messages. =================== A search for the surname "Strong" on the Surname Helper Surname Search of U.S. and Canadian GenWeb sites yielded 258 links to Strong information, queries, and contacts. Your time spent browsing these links might prove productive. I noted a few subscribers to the Strong Mail List among the many persons who have posted information on GenWeb sites about the Strong surname, but I also saw many names of persons who have never subscribed to the Strong Mail LIst. There should be additional links for allied surnames. Here is the URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/surhelp/srchall.html Here are just a couple of examples of my gleamings about Southern Strongs. A year or two ago we had a discussion about the possible ancestry of Noah Strong of a Southwestern Missouri county, possibly Douglas County. [I cannot check the archives with the server offline.] I suggested Noah Strong could be N. L. Strong, apparent son of David Strong of Giles County, TN, formerly of Campbell and Charlottte Counties, VA. Posted on the GenWeb site for any unknown county in North Carolina are a couple of messages from Evelyn Earhart <[email protected]> and Monifa Porter <[email protected]> regarding Strongs. Evelyn mentions "Noua" Leo Strong, 1923-1981, of Douglas Co., MO, near Ava, and she appears to have some detailed informaton about this family. Her "Noua" is obviously from a later generation than the Noah Strong and/or N. L. Strong, born about 1830 in TN, previously discussed. The similarity in names and proximity in place are quite suggestive of a familial relationship, however. Monifa is researching Strongs of Pitt County, NC, a line that is not familiar to Strong-L subscribers. More recently I have received correspondence from Jean Sullivan <[email protected]> about Strongs of Upshur County, Texas, who are descended from William Strong of Troup County, Georgia, which I forwarded to the Strong Mail List. Fran Deen <[email protected]>, a Strong-L subscriber, has posted messages about this line on GenWeb sites, as has Donna Thompson <[email protected]>. Another reseacher of this line is Lydia Pyle <[email protected]>. ==================== The GEDCOM database and the "Cousin Finder" searches at Traveller Informaton Services (TIS) have been terminated. The reason given was that there were too many compaints being made to TIS about erroneous information in the databases. TIS recommended that you search at Ancestry Hometown's GEDCOM database, instead. I am uncertain whether this means that TIS turned over its GEDCOMs to Ancestry Hometown. LESSON LEARNED: If you find erroneous information in a database on the Internet, do NOT complain to the Server, that is, the Internet Service Provider. Instead, direct your complaints to the person who submitted the database. ================================================================= To Recipients Who Do Not Subscribe to the Strong Mail List: Instructions for subscribing are posted on The Strong Quest Web Site: http://ro.com/~rts2/quest Please do no attempt to subscribe before 17 SEP. If your message bounces, try again in a couple of days. The Mail List should be back in operation later in the week. ================================================================== Robert T.

I was just reading in my Grand Father Orville Nathan Strong's journal. He writes about visiting a relatives Mattie in Kanasas City, KS, Doering in Trippe, SD, and Charles H. in Osawatomie, KS. The time was May 1921. He and family were on their way to Tampa, FL where Grand Mother Katie,s parents lived. He also writes about C.M. Hutchinson a Chicago, IL cousin.

=============================================================== ATTENTION: Megan Scott In addition to satisfying my own curiosity and extending my personal knowledge of Strongs of Virginia, one of the advantages of identifying which Strong in Virginia was the brother of John Strong (Jr.) of Chester County, Pennsylvania, is that it opens up for you a different avenue of research. Who are the descendants of James Strong of Augusta and/or Rockbridge Counties, VA? What do THEY know about their Strong ancestry? Were there any Strong family records that were handed down in that line? The same logic could be applied to Sallie Strong Bush, sister of John Strong, Jr., of Chester Co., PA, and James Strong of Augusta Co., VA, if this Bush family can be located in Virginia. There were quite a few Bush families in Virginia in 1810, including several Bush families that were enumerated in Augusta Co., VA. Interestingly there was a household listed as "Salley Bush" with no free whites and five slaves. That seems rather strange. One interpretation is that the slaves had been owned by Salley Bush, who had recently died, and the estate had not yet been settled. See Page 398 of the Augusta County 1810 census. Check Augusta County probate records and deeds for Sallie or Salley Bush for the period prior to and immediately after 1810. Have you considered the possibility that your John Strong, Sr., may have traveled first to Virginia and then relocated to Pennsylvania? You might want to study the deed and grant abstracts in CAVALIERS AND PIONEERS, Volume IV, which includes the colonial period just before the Revolution, I believe. There is an excellent index of full names and also place names. Check particularly for deeds and patents to and headrights for John Strong in Orange County, VA, from which Augusta County evolved, I think. Check also for headright grants to or including John Strong in Maryland and Pennsylvania. "BoB T." Robert T. Strong, Jr. 119 Mystic Way Madison, Al 35757-8801

Thank you so much for your most helpful suggestions. They give me something to work on--some place to start. Since I am in a wheelchair I have to confine my research to the internet or to the USPS. This should keep me busy for awhile. Muriel

=============================================================== Posted to the Strong Mail List on 12 SEP 1998 by Muriel Millwood: -------------------------------------------------------- I have so little on my great-grandmother I have hesitated about posting it, but can't give up without a try. I would have a lot more information if I had paid attention to my grandfather when he told me things but I was very young and not interested in the past. Lydia LaStrange b County Cork, Ireland. m David L. Brigham . One child, George David Brigham b 1867 in Holly Springs, Miss. Lydia died when George was an infant. George moved to Forest City, Ark when he was about 3, then to Johnson County Ark. At some time David L. Brigham married Louisa Looney. This information was given to me by my grandfather, George David, in the 40's. Year later one of George's daughters said that Lydia was 15 when she married. If her child was born within two years--1867--then she would have been born around 1850. But the information about her age conflicts with something else my grandfather told me--that his mother was a nurse during the Union Army and his father was a Confederate soldier and they met during the Civil War. I know his father was a Confederate soldier because he is in a group photo that hangs in the Clarksville Ark. courthouse. But Lydia LaStrange remains a mystery. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to trace her? I would greatly appreciate any help. Muriel Millwood Santa Cruz, CA ================================================================= Greetings, Muriel! There was nothing about your Lydia LaStrange (leStrange, deStrange) on the Family Finder Index at the Family Tree Maker (Broderbund) web site. And I found nothing about Davild L. Brigham there, either. Based on your account, I assumed that David L. Brigham should be in the state of Mississippi at the time of the 1860 census. There was a William Brigham family enumerated on the 1860 census of Pontotoc, MS, Page 536. Check to see if your David Brigham is in that family. In 1870, David "S." Brigham was enumerated in St. Francis Co., AR, Page 449. Keeping in mind that "S." and "L." were easily confused, I feel pretty sure this is your David L. Brigham. Was Lydia in the household in 1870? If so you will know her age and where (state or country) she was born. If you don't find Lydia on the 1870 census, check the soundex for the 1880 census of Arkansas for both David L. Brigham, and the 1900 census for George David Brigham. The entry for George David Brigham on the 1880 and 1900 census will tell where he was born, where his father was born, and where his mother was born. Talk to the Librarian in the Genealogy Collection of a major metropolitan library near you and ask about Civil War records of nurses in the Union Army. If they were considered to be soldiers, you may find Lydia LaStrange in the Compiled Service Records of Union Soldiers. The records usually state where the person enlisted and, if you are lucky, there may even be a copy of the enlistment record with additional data. (Don't forget to check variant spellings of the name.] Holly Springs, MS, is located in contemporary Marshall County. When was that county formed and from what parent county? Did Marshall county exist prior to 1870? Assume that Lydia died before 1870 in Marshall County, MS. Check the cemetery records of that county and look for obituaries in the newspapers that served that county. For the latter, you might have to go to the Mississippi State Library and Archives in Jackson, Mississippi. Also consider that Holly Springs was not very far from Memphis. Would Memphis papers have included an obituary?? Maybe other subscribers to the Strong Mail List will have some suggestions that will be helpful to you. Good luck in your search! "BoB T." Robert T. Strong, Jr. 119 Mystic Way Madison, Al 35757-8801

=============================================================== Enough has been said about the Starr Report! Please cease and desist further discussion of this topic. Bill Garcia's (aka Bill Strong's) message was technically out of bounds, but I feel was posted in the spirit of providing a service to any interested subscribers to the Strong Mail List. As the Co-Manager of the Month (aka "Moderator") I did not feel a compulsion to respond to this one-time-only exception to the published Standing Operating Procedures. Repeated violations by the same person will result in counseling by the Moderator. My personal policy in the past has been to provide private counseling and if that fails then to provide public counseling. As a last resort, a subscriber who refuses to follow established procedures and policies will be removed from the Mail List and prohibited from posting messages. This has never happened to date. Let's move on toward our common goal of sharing data about persons named Strong, including all graphic, phonetic, and etymologic variants of the name. If you have data about Strongs that would be of interest to more than one subscriber to the Mail List, please post it here. It it is of interest to only one other subscriber, please send the message privately. If it doesn't pertain to Strong, et al., family history or genealogy, please do not post the message on the Strong Mail List. As a general rule, please allow the designated Co-Manager of the Month to intervene as necessary to moderate disputes, flaming, violations of procedures, etc. I am proud to say that in the three year history of the Strong Mail List the discussion group had remained very focused and goal oriented. "Violations" and incidents of disputes or flaming have been niminal. The most frequent "violation" observed has been not giving messages a descriptive and accurate Subject LIne. Subject lines should communicate Who, Where, and When.
