On the trip he passed the Natural Bridge, which is located in the Shenandoah Valley just east of Interestate 81 between Roanoke and Lexington, in the southern part of conteporary Rockbridge County. >>>>>>>>>> Sorry, BoB. I didn't make it clear to you that it was John STRONG, Junior that made the trip to Virginia. The trip must have been made in 1798 and the couple visited both James STRONG and Sallie (STRONG) Bush(?) John (Jr.) was born in Chester Co, PA, 1762 and lived there all his life. Thank you for all your time. I really appreciate it. Best wishes, Meg
