According to Dwight's "History of the Strong Family," John Harris Strong was a farmer in Chatham, Ct. (1783-1811). In August, 1811, he removed to Euclid, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. Here he was agent for the sale of lands in an about Cleveland (belonging to Lord and Barber, of Haddam, Ct.), and was Judge of the court of common pleas (1817-1823). (Dwight, p 174).

1820 Census Ohio-Cuyahoga-Euclid John H. Strong 0-1-0-2-0-1|0-1-0-1-1

1830 Census John was deceased. His widow, Elizabeth, appears to have been living in Ohio-Cuyahoga-Chagrin, with her son, Josiah C. Strong. One female member of Josiah's household was listed as between ages 60-70.

Family/Spouse: Elizabeth Cary. Elizabeth was born about Nov 1764 in Chatham, Middlesex County, Connecticut; died on 24 Nov 1830 in Euclid, Cuyahoga County, Ohio; was buried in Wickliffe Cemetery, Willoughby Township, Lake County, Ohio. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

According to Benjamin Dwight, he was sheriff of Cuyahoga County, Ohio. (Dwight, p. 175).

James married Ann Eliza Baldwin in 1819 in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. Ann was born about 1800 in Ballston, Saratoga County, New York; died on 11 Mar 1827 in Ohio. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

James married Laura ("The Widow Miles") ??? in Jan 1828 in Cuyahoga County, Ohio. Laura was born about 1797 in Connecticut; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

"A farmer at Elkhart, Indiana, where he died. He has five children of whom, two, Samuel Smith and Betsey Ann, reside now (1871) at Elkhart." (Dwight, p 175).

(Research):Census Information:

At the time of the 1830 Federal Census, he appeared to stil

This is his listing at the time of the 1840 Federal Census Indiana-Elkhart County- 0-0-0-0-1-0-0-1;0-0-0-0-1-0-1-0

And at the time of the 1850 Federal Census, he was living with the following family. ASSUMED that 31 year old Ann Sumner was his daughter, Betsey Ann:

Indiana-Elkhart County
John W. SUMNER age 37 M Farmer $1,800 Vermont Ann SUMNER age 31 Ohio
Clark SUMNER age 8 Indiana
George SUMNER age 3 Michigan
Hannah L.N. SUMNER age 2 Michigan
Walter STRONG age 64 M Farmer $400 Connecticut

Family/Spouse: Betsey Smith. Betsey was born between 1790 and 1800; died between 1840 and 1850 in Indiana. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Cemetery records instead indicate she died in October 1826.

Esther married Theron Freeman on 14 Mar 1814 in Euclid, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. Theron was born on 17 Jun 1785; died on 21 Mar 1830; was buried in Wickliffe Cemetery, Willoughby Township, Lake County, Ohio. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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.

Notes:

An 1840 Plat of Willoughby Township, Lake County also shows land owned by a Th. J. Strong

Benjamin Dwight writes (p. 176), that "Thomas Jefferson Strong was a farmer at Wickliffe (Lake County), Ohio and "to him the author is indebted for this very meagre account of his father's descendants which no continued correspondence served to improve." This may account for some of the inconsistencies in trying to better document this family.

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.

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.

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.

Notes:

Probably namesake daughter of first wife, but not known with certainty. May instead by a daughter born to Lucy, his second wife, as there is a gap in ages between her and her older siblings.

Notes:

Ralph was born in Lake County, and moved with his parents to nearby Cleveland prior to the 1870 census. At the time of the 1880 Federal census, he had left home, and was living with John Webb, who ran a Meat Market. Ralph drove a delivery wagon.

I was unable to locate him at the time of the 1900 census. He was still in Cleveland at the time of the 1910 census, however. Although he is listed as married, his wife and children are not present. He is living in a rooming home with several other single men. His son Harold was in the Navy. Son Harold was was listed on the 1910 census on the Military census, U.S. Navy, U.S.S. Conneticut, District 18, as STRONG, Harold J M W 18 Ohio Ohio Ohio.

Sometime before the 1920 census, Ralph returned with his family to Lake County. It appears that he and his wife seperated before 1930, and that Ralph moved to Virginia with son Harry.

However, Ralph eventually moved back to Ohio, living to the age of 88. His obituary appears below:

Family/Spouse: Weltha Adelaide French. Weltha was born about 1864 in Ohio; died on 16 Oct 1940 in East Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio; was buried in Lake View Cemetery, Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Missing from his home home at the time of the 1870 census, when he would have been only age 12. He most likely died, was missed by the enumerator, or had already left home.

There was only one (1) HARRY STRONG, born between 1856 and 1860 in Ohio in the 1880 census index at www.familysearch.org, and that was 22 year old Harry Brightman Strong of Cleveland, son of Charles STRONG and Elizabeth ROE.

Harry Brightman Strong was still in Cleveland in 1900, but not other Harry Strong's were indexed. There was a Henry B. Strong of approximately the same age, but it is not known if this is the same individual.
