Esther Dorcas Strong

Notes:

Dwight recounts that when she was five years of age she wandered off after her brother up the Catskill Mountains, and became lost. The whole neighborhood was aroused at once to search for her, and guns were fired and torches kept blazing all night to scare away wolves. She was found the next day, her clothing nearly torn off from her by brambles. (Dwight, p. 485).

Esther married George Evelyn Merwin on 22 Apr 1837 in Elyria, Lorain County, Ohio. George (son of David Merwin and Anna Bicknell) was born on 22 Jan 1806 in Durham, Greene County, New York; died on 27 Oct 1869 in California. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
