Martha; I found the piece of paper from grandfather's closet which reads: (John found this in Buffalo - no dates) In Mormon church records-- Walter and Lucy Strong are the parents of Polly Strong, Thetford VT b 8/27/1794 Harriet Strong " " b 2/13/1796 Ezra Brewster Strong Thetford VT b. 3/25/1798 Hofak Strong " " b 10/16/1801, died 1903 Ezra, Harriet and Polly were baptized July 19, 1801 Ashael Strong, baptized in 1801 - November 15 Joseph Chapel Strong 1804 The above is transcribed exactly as it appears on the paper but I cannot swear that it was copied exactly from it's original source. The "John" mentioned would be my grandfather's brother - Uncle Jack - who has been dead since 1980. Buffalo would be Buffalo NY - where we all lived until the 1960's but I can't be sure whether Uncle Jack found the records at an LDS church in Buffalo or if he just found some stuff in Buffalo that made reference to LDS records. Martha, have you seen any OTHER references to Hofak, Ashael or Joseph? Regards, Lindsey
