 | Adams, Joseph Thomas "Uncle Tom"
Status: Located. In the late eighties Tom Adams left Jack County with a herd of cattle and started to Arizona with them. When he got west of Benjamin, about where the Ross and Moorhouse ranches are now, the grass and water were never better, so he just turned his cattle loose and said, "This is Arizona enough for me," so that part of the country went by the name of "Little Arizona" in the early days. |

In 1604, our earliest proven Strong ancestor was fined by the Manor Court of Chardstock, Dorset, because "The water in George Stronge's ditch is not able to pass but run out in the way and he must scower the same." He later moved five miles northward, just across the county border to Somerset. It was George's grandson, Elder John Strong, whom emigrated to New England as a Pilgrim in 1635. |
