ATTENTION: Sue Strong Hassler <[email protected]> ============================================================== Date: Wed, 26 Nov 1997 11:23:12 -0500 From: "Donald M. Hassler" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: STRONG, Isaiah I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Sue Strong Hassler, from Kent, Ohio. My father was Marion R. Strong, b.. 1909 (Oklahoma). My grandfather was William W. Strong, b. 1879 (Mo.). Greatgrandfather was James Ray Strong, b. 1850 (Mo.), Greatgreat grandfather was Isaiah Strong, b. 1820 in Tennessee. I'm stuck right there. Don't know who his father was at all. He married Louisa Turesa Daily in 1844. I found him on an 1860 census in Greene County, Mo., but haven't been able to go back any further. ----------deleted---------- Sue Hassler =============================================================== I believe you will find the Isaiah Strong household on Microfilm Page 379, Jackson Township, 1850 census of Greene County, Missouri. On Page 281, Robinson Township, Greene County, Missouri, 1850 census, the Noah Strong household is enumerated. So this raises the question: Were Isaiah and Noah Strong possibly related? You might want to visit the archived messages for the Strong Mail List and do a search of the messages about Noah Strong, for example, "Noah and MO". Start on this page. http://newsearches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl I believe Wade Watts <[email protected]> was the person who was doing research on Noah Strong for a modemless friend. He is not a current Strong Mail List subscriber. I will send him a carbon of this message. In conjunction with the discussion of Noah Strong, there were several other subscribers to the Strong Mail List who indicated they were researching Strongs in Southwestern Missouri. Although in different counties, some of these may have been in fairly close proximity. You might want to do a search of archived messages for any Strongs in "Missouri" and "MO". >From an LDS Family History Center near you, you should be able to order on indefinite loan the court records of Greene County, MO, such as deeds, marriage records, etc. These could contain some valuable clues. Nothing takes the place of nitty-gritty study of courthouse records. It is a slow process but can pay high dividends. Some records may not be indexed or the index may be inadequate, so you just sit down before a microfilm reader and scan every page. First, though, please abstract the 1850 census of Isaiah Strong in Greene County, MO, and post the abstract on the Strong Mail List. "BoB T." Strong Robert T.
