Can anyone tell me what happened to Rufus Strong, son of Daniel and Mary (Edmiston) Strong, born 15 August 1842 Gallia County OH, or to his wife Amanda Eleanor Hawk, daughter of Jacob and Melissa (Paine) Hawk, born 2 August 1836 Wilkesville OH? They were married 28 September 1865 Vinton County OH. I cannot find them in the 1870 census. In the 1880 census Amanda (Hawk) Strong was living with her parents in Vinton County. I cannot find records for either them thereafter. Many thanks for your help, and best wishes to you.
