Hi Karen, Long time! It's good to see mention of Tabitha Strong (#327 way below). This Tabitha Strong is still #1 on my list for wife of my John Tickner, but I'm no further in my quest than last time we traded emails (1998). Have you learned anymore about her? For others who might be able to help: John TICKNER (possibly sometimes spelled TICKNOR) served in the revolution of 1775. He was born 5/7/1750 in Sharon, CT. He married Tabitha STRONG of Salisbury, CT, 4/30/1772 in Sharon, CT. John died about 1796. Tabitha died about 1825. They had 6 children. 6i. John Ticknor, b. 1/12/1774, Sharon, CT; d. 10/10/1819, Suffield, OH 6ii. Elisha Tickne!r, b. 2/26/1777 (not 2/6), Sharon, CT; d. 3/9/1845, Chemung, NY; m. 3/11/1804, Sharon or Cornwall, CT to Sybil Todd, b. 2/4/1782, Derby, CT; d. 1/13/1882!, Cornwall, CT or nr. Rodman, NY (dau. of Eunice (Hancock) and Daniel (aka David [mahood]) Todd; Elisha and John lived in Rutland, NY too; served in War of 1812; 11 children named in bible. [jtb line, jbleaux@aol.com] 6iii. Stephen Ticknor, b. 3/17/1779, Sharon, CT; d. 8/20/1858, Sharon, CT 6iv. James Ticknor, b. 3/11/1782 (no further record). 6v. Elijah Ticknor, b. 5/22/1783, Sharon, CT 6vi. David, b. 8/25/1784; to Ohio 1810 w/bro. John, returned unmarried. My question: Is there any hard information that links John Tickner's Tabitha Strong to Enoch and Sarah Strongs' Tabitha?

Have collected info on these folks for years, and still can't prove my GreatGrandfathers parents, etc....I THINK it will be: John C. Brace>Eben Brace>Luther Brace>Nathaniel Brace>Elijah Brace of the Rev War....and so on....BUT still need help with the proof... Also, my husband's family does directly connect with the Strong family...through Joseph Parsons Jr. and his wife, Elizabeth Strong, daughter of Elder John Strong. I sent this note to a correspondent some time ago.... KP Note: This link shows the Brace-Strong connection....but most important shows where this group moved....I believe that the person who put up this site made a mistake. The town of "Sharon" was in NY, not VT... (unless this was part of the disuputed territory....have to check this).... 72. ENOCH STRONG, b. Jul 16, 1720 Lebanon, m.
