"BoB T." Strong ================================================================== Dear Bob Please feel free to post this on the list. I hope it will help somebody in the near future. I have not found too much on this JOHN STRONG other than his LAND DEED, CENSUS and now his WILL. I would love to fit him into the Southern Strong's. What I have found is that his property was in/near that part of CUMBERLAND CO., KY that became MONROE CO., KY in 1820, when MONROE CO., KY was fromed from parts of CUMBERLAND and BARREN CO., KY. JOHN STRONG's property was not that far from my SAMUEL STRONG's property that was in BARREN CO., KY until that area also bacame MONROE CO., KY in 1820. Hope this isn't too confusing. Dave Strong (Indpls, Indiana) =================================================================== Hi, Dave! While searching through several pages I photocopied from Dwight's 1871 genealogy of the descendants of John Strong, 1635 immigrant to Massachusetts, I came across this article in an appendix about John Strong of Cumberland County, Kentucky. The article entitled "John Strong of Albany, KY" is found on Pages 1534-1535. I will only quote the first paragraph about John and omit the three paragraphs about his children. "John, Michael and William Strong, brothers, were involved in the Emmet rebellion in 1798 in Ireland. When that collapsed the three brothers escaped secretly and landed in 1799, in Philadelphia, and after tarrying in that city for a few months they separated from each other, and he never afterwards heard either from them or of them. He located at last in Cumberland, Clinton Co., Ky. [sic], on a farm near what is now Albany. In 1808, he married Elizabeth Williams. He died in 1820, and she married a second husband (name not given) who was living in 1868 in Woodson, Illinois. He had three children: I. Rev. William Hardin Strong. II. Prince Alfred Strong. III. Jane Strong." I. Rev. William Hardin Strong. Born 26 AUG 1809. Campellite [Disciples of Christ?] preacher. Married 1832, Josephine Dawson of Danville, Kentucky. Resided in Winchester, Illinois; Morgan County, Illinois; and Girard, Illinois. Apparently living in 1871 when Dwight published his genealogy. 10 children named. II. Prince Alfred Strong. Born 1811. Married Frances Renfro at Lexington, Kentucky. Relocated to Illinois in 1838 and to California in 1867. Apparently living in 1871. Four children named. III. Jane Strong married Harvey Burnett of Lancaster, Kentucky. Moved to Alton, Illinois in 1842. She died there in 1848 or 1849. Seven children named. It appears that Clinton County was probably formed out of Cumberland County after 1820. Albany in 1871 was in Clinton County and still is. Albany is near the Tennessee State line, north of Overton Co., TN. Clinton County, KY, is east of Monroe and Cumberland Counties, KY. I cannot evaluate the validity of the story about the three immigrant brothers but assume there is a passenger list or other records that will verify the story. Dwight did not cite his sources. Could the Michael Strong from Ireland mentioned be of interest to William L. (Bill) Strong or to Rev. Micheal Strong, subscribers to the Strong Mail List? While researching my wife's ancestors in this area of Kentucky (south central) I recall abstracting some Strong records, but at the moment I cannot locate those records. "Bob T." Robert T.
