    3. Information to digest from Haddock's Centennial History of Jefferson County, N.Y. I don't know the publish date of the book, but on page 674 The Growth of a Century, Family Sketches. In paragraph three I found the following: "NATHAN STRONG came to from Whitestown, N.Y., in 1810. He located in Rodman, where continued to reside until his death. He served his town as a justice of the peace, postmaster, supervisor, and in 1832, was elected Member of Assembly. His son Herman was born in 1802. He was at one time sheriff of Jefferson county, and afterwards superintendent of the poor. He married Miss Mary McKinstry, and was the father of four children, three sons and one daughter. Miss Elizabeth Strong, Who became the wife of the late H.E. Conger, of Watertown. Mr. Strong's wife was Miss Sarah Ann Millard. He died in 1876. Henry C. Strong, brother of Herman, was born in 1820, He was greatly beloved by his neighbors and associates for his kindness of heart and his generosity. Few men were more renowned for benevolence than he. He married Miss Sarah Pettibone, and was the father of DeWitt, Marcus B., Harriet, Charles C., Orville, and Nathan Strong. The latter was once sheriff of Jefferson county. Miss S. Augusta Strong was the youngest of the family, and was married to the late Pierson Mundy, of Watertown. She survives her husband, and is the beloved and capable principle of the Arsenal street school, in Watertown." I find a few errors in this article: My records show Henry Chauncey Strong the brother of Phoebe Strong Babbit, Charles Strong, Sophia Strong Rundell, Herman Strong, and Eunice Strong Griswold was born in Durham, CT, 4/20/1791. They are the children of Nathan and Enuice Chalker Strong. Nathan was born Durham, CT 1769 and Eunice Chalker Strong was born in 1769. They were married in Durham, CT 1790. Durham, CT should have marriage records back to that year, someone check it out for us. Bob T. Strong and Martha B. Strong give us your commits on this and anyone else! Jim
