Dear List, It has been some time since I have participated. I have new information on my husband's family and hopefully this time someone on the list will identify with this branch of the Strong family and come to my aid. I had been able to trace back to a Clay Strong who lived and died in Floyd County, VA. Census records stated that his parents had been born in VA, also. My newly acquired information shows Clay"s parents in Campbell County, VA. On the 1850 census for Campbell County it shows a family headed by Clifton L Strong age 28 with his wife and two sons, One is Oden C age five and the other son is Zacheriah age four. I know this is the correct family because I just received information on Clay Strong's cemetery records that state he was born in 1845, that his name was O C (Clay) Strong. He died in 1891, the year his last child was born, a son named Oden. Also, in Campbell County on the 1850 census there is a Thomas Strong who was born either in 1792 or 1793 (depending upon when the census was taken). I wonder if this could be his father? Another Strong in Campbell County on the 1850 census is a William Strong who was born either in 1819 or 1820. My Clifton L Strong was born either in 1821 or 1822. I wonder if they could be brothers? All three are from the same district in Campbell County. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Sharon Strong
