I'm confused and hope someone on this list is also searching for the same line as I am. My mother-in-law passed away shortly before Thanksgiving, leaving all her genealogy books to me. I haven't BEGUN to sift through them all, but note that several times she gives the parents of Julia Ann Strong different names! JULIA ANN STRONG b July 11, 1818 married WILLIAM MEREDITH POPE on June 1, 1850 in Crab Orchard, Lincoln Co., KY. They had 4 children, of which, 2 sons grew into adulthood. Julia died Dec. 19, 1876. Who were her parents? Sometimes my mil says they were Samuel and Jane Strong, who had immigrated to MO in thye 1840's from Monroe Co., KY., and sometimes she says her father was John Strong, son of Samuel and Jane. Does anyone REALLY know? Anxious to hear. Joanne Scobee Morgan
