My name is Gerard Strong. I am the youngest of ten children. My father was Charles Strong, and I believe his father had the same name. My father was born in Glasgow, Scotland, in the early years of the last century. My grandfather came from Cavan, in County Cavan, and my father used to say that his family had been involved with the maintenance and upkeep of the Catholic Church/?cathedral in that town. I know nothing of my grandfather's family, and I estimate that he must have emigrated to Glasgow around 1880-1890. There are a number of genetic identifiers which I assume might feature in any other branches of the branch of the family connected to us. Most notable is the tendency to develop grey hair at an early age. I would be interested to hear from any Strongs out there who hear any bells ringing from this information. --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!? Get personalised at My Yahoo!.

Hi Rene... I recognize your problem in trying to trace these folks. From a general standpoint, there are significant difficulties tracing lineages through the late colonial and early American period. Many records have been lost. And many records were never kept in the first instance. Many individuals were virtually illiterate, and some were trying to forget the past... the last thing they wanted was to create a record of that past. Further, after the Revolution, the US embarked on a policy of cultural assimilation... designed to make everyone Americans. The result of this policy was to make people forget their roots and look to the American present and future. As a result, many Americans today have a rather limited understanding of the influence of British history, policies, laws, culture, religion, geography and society. However, in fact much of American geography (placenames), law, culture, society, etc., is either tracable to places and events in the UK, or developed as a reaction to the situation in the 17th and 18th century UK. Understanding some of that history and situation may be very helpful in tracing lineages back OUT of the US and across the Atlantic to England and Ireland. England used Ireland and the American colonies as a dumping ground. Many early colonists arrived as indentured servants. This is a nice euphemism in many cases for saying they were convicts who were subjected to contracts of indenture binding them to the purchasers of the contracts which were priced to cover the costs of transportation. That indentured servants were convicts should not be taken as a slur on them or their descendents. Many of the convictions were trumped up and would never stand up in a modern court of law. After the American Revolution, England turned to Australia as a dumping ground. Anyone interested in some insights as to how the system worked might want to read Colleen McCullough's recent book "Morgan's Run". It is fiction... but well written with a great deal of historical insight. England was still suffering the hangover of the feudal system inherited from the Norman conquerers in the 17th-to early 19th century. Aristocrats held great feudal grants of land from the crown... and treated their tenants as servants. It was a very different world than that which we now know, (and it should be said, from what now exists in the UK). In Ireland, there was a rather close relationship between the Landlords and their protestant Yeoman tenantry. There was a lot of history to that relationship I won't go into just now. However, even in the face of the closeness of that relationship, a lot of the tenants started to migrate out of Ireland toward America during the 17th and 18th centuries. There were large families, limited lands available, limited production of food for too many mouths... and that was all before the infamous famine years of the 1840's. America offered a lot of opportunities to acquire land and to accomodate the wants and needs of the lower classes. The English government had planted Ireland in the late 16th and early 17th centuries with settlers from both England and Scotland. Most precisely, one must ultimately try to identify a lineage as Anglo-Irish or Scots-Irish... but all too frequently there is a tendency to label ALL non-Catholic emigrants from Ireland as Scots-Irish. It was precisely the lower class of Scots-or Anglo-Irish tenant farmer which provided a lot of the 18th century colonists of the western lands of Virginia, Pennsylvania, and on into Ohio. I have read that at the time of the Revolution, at least 40% of the population of the American colonies was Scots-Irish. They were flooding into the back country to take up land, because the land near the eastern seacoast was already taken. I would not be at all surprised to learn that the Strongs you are looking for fit into this category. Back to the religious angle... There were Church of Ireland Anglo-Irish Strongs from the south of Ireland... County Wicklow and Dublin... and some Catholic Strongs from Dublin, Kings & Queens Counties, and a mixture from all over Ireland. There were Presbyterian Scots-Irish Strongs from Antrim, Londonderry, Armagh, Down, and Cavan... and even from Cork in the south. Not all Scots-Irish were Presbyterians... perhaps the first religious category most people think of when discussing the Scots and Ulster Irish. In fact, many of the Donegal-Fermanagh and Cavan-Longford-Monaghan-Sligo Strongs were either Scots-Irish or Anglo-Irish in descent, and were members first of the Church of Ireland, which was Anglican in doctrine; and later, after the Wesley brothers spread their reform movement to Ireland in the late 18th century and early 19th century, were Methodists. This is perhaps a long way around to suggesting that you MAY be heading in the direction of one of these groups in Ireland. The given names you are looking at make me think more of the Cavan-Longford-Monaghan-Sligo grouping, or the south of Ireland. Richard, Nathaniel, and Benjamin just don't occur in Donegal and Fermanagh... and are scarce enough in Cavan, etc. Don't know if any of this helps... but there it is for what it is worth. Good Luck!

Dave: Thank you very much for your response. It was extremely informative and interesting. I've no doubt my Strong ancestors would fall into the category of poor Irish immigrants. I guess that makes the search that much more interesting--albeit difficult to impossible. I'm seriously considering a trip into Indiana and Illinois in the next several months to work on this issue, and maybe I'll find my way over to W. VA, PA area as well. I do wish they had been a little more literate...at least about geography. In the ten years between the 1850 and 1860 census, two of the people listed as having been born in Penn. changed to MD and VA...... or perhaps they WERE covering tracks! Thanks again for the information. Rene'

Hello Gerard... I've got two records (#s912 and 1821) in the Irish Strong database relating to a Rev. Charles Strong in County Cavan. The records date from 1843 and 1849, and relate to the transfer of lands; Rev. Strong was one of several people joining in a deed grant. The records are derived from the Index maintained in the Registrar of Deeds in Dublin. I don't have the particulars of the actual deeds, but can forward index details if you wish. I suspect your Charles Strong is not the same individual... but he may be related. I will also copy this message to several other researchers whom I am aware have an interest in the Strongs of County Cavan... of whom there were a great many. I'm not aware of any premature graying in the line, but then I don't personally know any of those folks... perhaps they will recognize the characteristic. Incidentally, there is some ongoing research involving the Cavan lineages trying to determine whether there are any links to certain Stronges in Counties Down and Wicklow. Perhaps you will be able to provide a few insights re the research! {:-) FYI, most, if not all of the Cavan Stronges were either Church of Ireland (Anglican) or Presbyterian. I am not aware of any Catholics, altho there may have been some. You many wish to take a look at the following website: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~donegalstrongs/cavan.htm Let me know if you see anything there which jogs your memory. {:-) Regards Dave Strong =============== ----- Original Message ----- From: G S <gstronguk@yahoo.co.uk> To: <STRONG-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, January 18, 2002 4:01 PM Subject: [STRONG] Surname Strong > > My name is Gerard Strong.

Dave: I don't have many answers to your questions. In fact, I have more questions than answers as a general rule. However, my research in Fayette and Union Counties of the state of Indiana leads me to believe that at least Thomas and Benjamin Strong were of Methodist persuasion, both being buried in the M.E. Methodist Cemetery. Thomas, Benjamin, Richard, were all farmers. I cannot find what Nathaniel's occupation was. I have no maternal or distaff information on these families yet. I'm still trying to find the Strong connection. The only "link" I have to Ireland is the passage in a "Fayette County History" that indicates the grandfather of Richard was from the Emerald Isle. Richard was born (1790) in VA, but I don't have any idea where his grandfather landed in this country. I do find the map of the area where I found both a Nathaniel and a Thomas Strong in extreme Western PA to be interesting because a circle 10 miles from the center would include three states--OH,VA, and PA. There were two other Strong families in Washington County of PA in the 1810 Census as well: Peter and John of Donegall Township. Nathaniel and Thomas were of Finley Township. Given the names, it would seem an Irish heritage is likely. Rene'

Thanks, Rene: No, I don't know the Garretts... never heard of them. If they are members of the list, or if someone else knows how to contact them, please let me know. I took another look at the Irish Strong Database. There actually are only 4 records relating to an Albert Strong... and I think they really involve just two individuals. One from Kings County, Ireland, and one from County Donegal, Ireland. Sorry this lead didn't work out for you... but I do hope that somehow we can find the Garretts. It seems possible we may be able to help each other. Regards Dave Strong ===================== ----- Original Message ----- From: Rene' E.

Hello Rene.... I am wondering how you got to Albert Strong,sr, in progressing from your earlier research as detailed in the message of Jan 7,2002, pasted in below? Some questions: 1) How do you know that Albert Strong,SR, was from Ireland? 2) How, if at all, is he related to the earlier individuals you listed... Richard, Nathaniel, Thomas, Benjamin, and William, etc? 3) Do you know what his occupation was? 4) Do you know what his religion was? 5) You indicate mid to late 18th century as the time of immigration... based on what? 6) He came over to where? 7) Who was Albert, JR? 8) Do you know anything about the distaff side of the equation? Eg, it is possible the given names "Richard, Nathaniel, Thomas, Benjamin, and William" may come from the mother's side of the family at some point... and that could be important in analyzing the data. In the over 3800 records in the Irish Strong Data Base, I have only about 5 or 6 records relating to an Albert Strong... but in the early 19th century. Thus, he is likely not the same individual. However, given names tended to run in families. It is possible there may be some connection... but we need a bit more insight to make the connection hypothesis. Let me know.

Dave: Thank you for your questions-- I'll do my best to answer them. >I am wondering how you got to Albert Strong,sr, in progressing from >your earlier research as detailed in the message of Jan 7,2002, pasted >in below? I was cleaning off my desk and found an email I had saved from 1999. It was from a Grover S. and Carol L. Garrett, but their return address no longer works, so I put the question to you. Their email indicates "The Strong family I know about came from Ireland, to perhaps Virginia, then to Guernsey County, Ohio in about 1830, then to Cumberland County, Illinois in 1861." In reading this again, it occurs to me that I made an error in interpreting the dates, and it is likely this Albert didn't arrive as early as I thought. 1) How do you know that Albert Strong,SR, was from Ireland? email from Grover S. and Carol L. Garrett 2) How, if at all, is he related to the earlier individuals you listed... Richard, Nathaniel, Thomas, Benjamin, and William, etc? He probably isn't. I have a local county history (Fayette, IN) indicating that Richard's grandfather came over from the "Emerald Isle", and that's where I'm getting Ireland. However, my misinterpretation of the dates probably eliminates him as a candidate for being related to the group I mentioned earlier. (Do you have anything on that group? I didn't see a reply.) 3) Do you know what his occupation was? No 4) Do you know what his religion was? No Sorry to have so little for you. As I mentioned, this was a email that I had saved and found last night. It really doesn't seem to connect to my group, but perhaps you know the people who sent the email to me. They indicated they had quite a bit of information, and I'm sure they'd contribute it. Rene'

Sandy Hunt(Hannah descendant) >> >>>>>>>>>>>>HI SANDY! :) 'My' Giles, who is the farthest descendent I can trace on my STRONG branch... Per census' he was born in MA, 'we' (there are quite a few of 'us' on this particular branch) have estimated his date of birth as 1788 -give or take very few years . Giles appears to have come out of no where..with no parents! He married Elizabeth "Betsy' MOSHER in 1816 in NY. They had several children (Lectia, Rhoda, Lavinia, John Martin-my branch, Charles, Wilheimis aka Willie, and Sarah). As you know, families tend to 'recycle' names as is VERY evident, especially in my STRONG branch.... I know there is another "Giles" out there but the time frames are waaaaay off, stil I was in hopes they might be connected in some way (in hopes that in the recycling of names, perhaps the other one was a cousin or nephew!). ~Rene! :)

What GILES are we talking about? Sandy Hunt(Hannah descendant)

Rene... Just a piece of wild speculation... IF the SFAA folks are unable to come up with a Giles Strong in the various Elder John lineages coming out of Massachusetts... You might consider looking in ENGLISH records for him. Giles is an English given name; there WERE other Strongs landing in Boston from England (and Ireland and Scotland) who were not Elder John descendants; and it might just have been easier to tell the census takers that he was born in Massachusetts than to explain how he made entry to the US and when. He might even have entered via another place altogether. And, remember... in that time there were no border guards, etc. Where are the census records you mention from? Are they Massachusetts records, or are they from another state? And when are they from... what year? As to what English records to look in... I suggest you start with the Free BMD records at Rootsweb. THe actual BMD records do not go as far back as 1788. However, you might find a few links to other sites. And, Pam Pakes might have a few suggestions where to look. There were a lot of Strongs in Southwest England... and others elsewhere as well.

Rene, not being an expert, I can only suggest looking in towns that have Moshers and Strongs. Maybe you can connect to the wife's family.
