Generation: 2

George Clark Strong

(1.Rebecca¹) was born between 1830 and 1831 in Ohio; and died.

Notes:

ASSUMED this is the George Strong that was listed in the household of Ezra and Elizabeth Vial in Ohio, Lake County, Willoughby Township, #379-383 at the time of the 1850 Federal Census. George was listed as age 19, born in Ohio. Ezra was shown as age 45, born in New York and Elizabeth as age 47, born in Connecticut. He was living next door to the James Madison Strong family.

Edwin Miles Strong

(1.Rebecca¹) was born between 1832 and 1838 in Ohio; and died.

Notes:

A 13 year old Edwin Strong was living in the home of Stephen and Laurie HARKNESS, of Lyme Township, Huron County, Ohio in 1850. If Rebecca died in 1835, he may have been too young to have been her son.

At the 1850 Federal Census, a 12 year old Edwin and 10 year old Ellen Strong were also living in Lyme Township, Huron County, Ohio. They were listed with Loran and Olive BUGBEE, ages 40 and 33, respectively, both born in New York. Edwin and Ellen were both born in Ohio. As Edwin's mother was said to have died in 1835, and the 12 year old Edwin on the census would have been born in 1838, it appears they are different individuals.
