Hi, Pamela, Cousin Pamela, I should say... if my calculations are correct,we are sixth cousins, sharing Thomas Strong and ElizabethLewis as 5th great-grandparents. If you haven't seen David Strong's website please have a look. It has a wealth of great well-documented information about the Southern Strongs, including a good deal about your line from Caley back to John Strong of New Kent Co., VA. The site's location: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~dstrong155/family.html Best regards, Russell Laird --- Pamela Turner <flyingjt@bellsouth.net> wrote: > My name is Pamela Strong Turner, daughter of Carlos > "Carl" Wilbert Strong (Sept. 1928-April 1985) & Eva > Skelton-Strong, son of Herbert Franklin "Frank" > Strong & Lula Green-Strong, son of Caley & Sarah > Katherine Spears-Strong of Celina, TN.
