    Notes 
    • FindAGrave shows him as a son of Thomas Jefferson Strong Sr. and Laura Bishop. However, he is not listed as one of their children in Benjamin Dwight's HISTORY OF THE STRONG FAMILY.

      Thomas Jefferson Strong and Laura Bishop do appear to have a son his same age, shown on census records as Samuel vs. Lemuel. Additionally, Samuel/Lemuel is listed in the home of Thomas Jefferson Strong and Laura Bishop in 1850 and 1860, and a Samuel/Lemuel Strong was boarding in the Peck home in 1850, and living with wife Sarah and children Ralph, Harry and Mary in 1860. They may indeed be the same man, listed twice in error on the census, or twins, or different people entirely. It is possible that his parents gave the name of all their children to the enumerator in 1860, as their son Asa/Aspah is also listed with his parents and in a separate household with his wife in 1860.
