Attention Connie Corbett-Whittier and Thelma Southern: The following is clipped from a revision in progress re my Lineages Directory, Chapter 13 of the manuscript found at my website: Website, "Researching Strong(e)s and Strang(e)s in Britain & Ireland" http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/7530 ******************************** <b>...OHIO James Strong, b. 20 Oct. 1782 in Ireland, d. 8 May 1836 in Ohio, m. Prudence Elliott in Ireland. She died in America also. The 13 children of James and Prudence were: John - b. ca 1809 in Ireland (ancestor of Connie Corbett-Whittier, below) Mary - b. ca 1811 William Elliott - b. 1813 Margaret - b. 1815 Jane - b. 1817 Thomas Lee - b. 1818 (see reference below) Prudence - b. 1820 Catherine - b. 1823 Finley Ritchey - b. 1825 Elizabeth S. - b. 1827 James Harvey Strong - b. 1830 (see reference below) George - b. 1833 (died at 4 days of age) </b> Editor's Note: There were Elliotts in the County Donegal area co-existant with the numerous Strongs planted there in the 17th Century... this fact may indicate these Strongs are from County Donegal.
