Rodney Strong

Notes:

Benjamin Dwight (p. 175) listed him as follows: "Rodney Strong b. Aug. 8, 1790, m. 10 Apr 1828, Mary Taylor. He d. 1868. He had a second (sic) wife, name not given. Children: By first wife: John Harris Strong Sophia Elizabeth Strong m. a Mr. Palmer Mary Amanda Strong Emmeline Strong Sarah Jane Strong By second wife: John Taylor Strong Charles Henry Strong"

It appears from the census records, below, that Mary Taylor must have been the second wife, especially in light of the marriage date of 1828 and considering his eldest son from the second marriage was listed as John Taylor Strong.

Rodney and Mary appear to be listed twice on the 1860 census. Perhaps they had two homes, and were counted in both?

Notes:

Shown by Frank Bertinchamps, on the Rootsweb World Connect Project Tree titled "Bertinchamps/Scott/Hackleman/Sailors/Saint-Paul," as the great-granddaughter of Samuel FULLER and Jane LOTHROP. Samuel arrived to the Plymouth Colony in 1620 aboard the Mayflower, along with his parents, Edward and Anne Fuller of Norfolk, England.

Said to the daughter of Matthew Fuller and Patience Young, but her date of birth contraindicates this. Need to follow up more throughly.
