John, I have so many questions! The letter you sent that was written to Cpt. David Scrantom by Thomas Strong, jr. This Thomas jr could be the older brother of Nathan Strong. He writes about the Great Sea (Lake Erie). I traveled the road 140 miles west of Albany, NY to Syracuse, NY. Then north US highway 81 to Rodman, NY where Nathan and Eunice Chalker Strong settled in 1810. The child left with Eunice Chalker Strong had to be Henry Chauney Strong born 4/20/1791, that would make Henry 12 days less than 1 year old. That would make Henry C. Strong was born in Durham, CT. The brother Coe that was written about could be the husband (Deacon Simeon Coe of Eunice Strong sister of Thomas, jr and Nathan. Which of the Strong women married to the Scranton brothers. Which one remove to Nova Scotia and to Scranton, PA. It is with interest Thomas Seward father Phebe Seward Strong mother of Nathan Strong was buried in Whitestown, Oneida Co., NY. No known date of death. someone fill this in for us! We know two of Nathan and Eunice's children were born at Whitestown, NY.The record in Haddock's Centennial History of Jefferson County, NY states Nathan moved to Rodman, NY from Whitestown, NY in 1810. 18 years after the letter was written. Where in the Mohawk river in the letter located? Could it be another name for the Lawrence river? Can anyone tell me the location of Thomas and Phebe Seward Strong were married. We know they were married on January 16, 1745/46.
