Ralph, You have read the letter written in 1792 to Capt. Scranton Thomas Strong Jr? The Thomas Jr could be the brother of Nathan born July 23, 1748 Durham, CT. On SFAA Web Site Martha has the Thomas family listed. You should look at it. Thomas (s/o Lt. Eliakim and Mehitabel King Strong) and Phebe Seward Strong had two sons survived childhood Thomas Jr and Nathan. I can better understand the letter knowing Nathan and Thomas Jr. were brothers. My records don't show Nathan and Eunice Chalker Strong with a son Nathan. Their son Henry C. Storng had a son Nathan. Jim
