Box 2367 Avon, CO 81620-2367 970-845-7741 ======================================================== Greetings, JoAnn! Regretfully I have no information about your ancestor, Adam S. Strong. I checked the Strong books I have on hand and did not find a reference to him. A family of Strongs settled in Guilford / Rockingham County about the time of the Revolutionary War and propogated. Many had moved on to Scott Co., VA, and Kentucky and Tennessee before 1850. There are a number of descendants of the Strongs of Rockingham Co., NC, on the Strong Mail List. A copy of your message and my reply is being sent to the Strong Mail List. Perhaps someone there will be able to assist you. You are advised to search the Strong Mail List archived messages for "Adam and Strong and TX", without the quotation marks. Go to this URL to start your search, enter the name of the Mail List, e.g., Strong, then enter your search words on the next page. You must repeat the search for each of three calendar years. Then you might want to repeat the cylcle again using "NC" rather than "TX". Sometimes it is easier to search for the wife's name. A search for "Godsey" might get the job done nicely. You can subscribe to any of the Rootsweb surname or regional lists online at this URL: http://www.rootsweb.com/~maillist/surnames/index.html There are several web sites that are dedicated to Strong Family research. You will find hot links to these other sites on my Links page. Check especially on William L. (Bill) Strong's site, called the Strong Genealogy Network Home Page. http://ro.com/~rts2/quest/links.html A search on the Internet Family Finder might be helpful. Here is the URL for IFF: http://www.familytreemaker.com/ifftop.html You might want to do a search on the Internet using one or a combination of the "crawler" search programs. Here is my favorite parallel [simultaneous] search program, called Meta-Crawler. http://www.metacrawler.com You are probably aware of the USGenWeb searches, but I will include it here for the benefit of anyone on the Strong Mail List who may not be familiar with it. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ussearch.htm Good luck in you search.
