22407 I6094  Strong  Elizabeth  20 Feb 1670  Yes, date unknown  Dwight notes that she was married Thomas BURNHAM. According to more recent research, this is most likely incorrect as it appears her niece, the daughter of John Strong, III was actually married to a Burnham.  STR06

22410 I19379  Strong  Ephraim  4 Jan 1684    Blacksmith and farmer of Milford, Ct.

Ephraim was the ancestor of Eastman Strong Minor, a missionary to Ceylon. Eastman Minor's son, Dr. William Chester Minor was a Union Army surgeon whose Civil War experiences caused a permanent mental breakdown. His subequent criminal acts led him to be confined for the rest of his life to the Broadmoor Criminal Lunatic Asylum in England. In Simon Winchester's book, THE PROFESSOR AND THE MADMAN, the story of Dr. Minor's twenty year involvement in the creation of the Oxford English Dictionary is detailed. Dr. James Murray, editor of the OED came to rely on the thorough and well documented contributions from Dr. Minor, assuming for many years his most diligent contributor was a staff doctor at Broadmoor, not an inmate.

22411 I39646  Strong  Ephraim  1 Jan 1759  19 May 1824  Benjamin Dwight writes that he was a farmer and miller in Brandon and a deacon in the Bapt. Ch. He married Lydia Ambler, and he adopted a son and heir Hiram Bigelow surnamed by him Strong.  STR06 
22412 I1284  Strong  Ernest Richard  2 Apr 1899  15 Oct 1961  The youngest son of Ralph and Mary Ella was an infant at the time of the 1900 Hopkins County, Texas census. In 1910, he was living with his father and stepmother in Roosevelt County, New Mexico. He can' t be located at the time of the 1920 census. In 1930, he was living in Toledo, Lincoln County, Oregon. His wife was listed as Fay, and was shown as being born in 1894 in Oklahoma, which would make her some five years older than him. However, the death certificate for Dorothy Fay Strong instead shows her as being born in 1903, making her four years younger than Ernest.

At one time, he was erroneously thought to have as died in California in 1965, based on the SSDI. However, that death was not for the correct Ernest Strong.

Ernest actually died at the Sacred Heart Hospital in Eugene, Oregon, approximately three weeks after being struck by a pickup at the cross walk of Broadway and Olive on September 30, at 5:15 p.m. The actual cause of death was listed as an accident, and was due to a pulmonary embolism of both lungs.

The death certificate indicates he has moved to Eugene around 1955. His occupation was listed as Houseman at the Eugene Hotel. His place of birth was shown as Texas, and his parents were listed as Ralph and Mary Ellen Strong. The informant was his wife, Dorothy F(ay) Strong.

22416 I19338  Strong  Esther Dorcas  10 Oct 1815  Aft 1871  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).  STR06

This differs from Dwight's book, which has her married to Benjah WEBSTER of Lebanon, Ct. However, Dwight states "The author would be glad to be corrected here," and apparently was! 
STR06 
22418 I21002  Strong  Eunice  19 Nov 1711  25 Nov 1750  Benjamin Dwight and the Strong Family Association website use differing dates of birth. In Dwight's book, she is shown as born 17 Aug 1710. The SFAA website shows 19 Nov 1711. I used the SFAA dates since it is more current.

Ezra Strong was the 7th great grandfather of Governor Sarah Louise Heath Palin of Alaska; the first female vice-presidential nominee of the Republican Party in 2008.

It appears the Mary died sometime after the 1910 census, and that Frank remarried, based on the following Geagua County Records Marriage record, which shows Frank A. Strong married Mrs. Addie L. Smith 7-5-1917 7 - 301 Grooms parents David B. Strong and Lenora A. Sherman. (Courtesty of Rhodene Frederick) According to her death certificate, Addie's maiden name was BOWEN.

As Frank and Addie were not married until 1917, Hazel must have been born while Addie was still married to a SMITH.

Frank may have temporarily moved West with his youngest son George, as it appears he was living with George in Winslow Arizona in 1930. Addie is not listed on the census with him, even though Frank is shown as married. Perhaps they were temporarily separated. Frank appears to have returned to Ohio, as the following cemetery listing can be found for he, and for Addie in 1931.

Munson, Geauga Co., OH Maple Hill Cem. Frank A. Strong 1856 - 09-16-1931 Addie L. Strong 1866 - 09-16-1931 nee Smith

Even though they died on the same day, it appears they died in differing cities from natural causes, and not in a joint accident.

Freddie was listed with his parents at the time of the 1880 census, but can not be located in subsequent census records.

It was SUSPECTED that the following census records might be for Freddie A. Strong. However, after obtaining a death certificate for the Fred Strong enumerated below, it was determined that he was actually the son of Lorenzo Strong and Lois Austin of Strongsville, Ohio.

HISTORICAL COLLECTION OF BRISTOL TOWNSHIP, Bristolville Ohio, Thomas J. Kochur, 1989. (p. 210).

Alberta's death in 1906 was probably as a result of childbirth, daughter Mary Alberta being born just 9 days prior to her mothers death. It was obviously devasting to the family. Fred or his youngest daughters have not yet been located 1910 or 1920 census index. The older children appear to have scattered. Robert S. Strong, the SFAA Historian, indicates that Fred left the family after the children were born.

At the time of the 1910 census, 22 year-old Anna and 9 year-old Grace were living with their grandparents, Harmon and Ann Osborne, in Bristol. Daughters Mabel, age 21, and Belle, age 19, were living with their Aunt Alice Strong CUTTING in the fourth ward of Youngstown. Harmon, age 16, was listed as a "hired man" in the home of Cass MILLS in Farmington Township, Trumbull County. Harry, age 14, was listed as a "boy to raise" in the home of Wallace BOLES in Southington Township, Trumbull County.

Fred and Alberta are buried in the Evergreen Cemetery, Bristol.

George A. STRONG. Among the farming community of South Branch Precinct the subject of this sketch occupies a good position socially and financially. He has one of the most attractive homesteads in this region, finely located on section 28, and embracing 160 acres of land. He has acquitted himself as an enterprising farmer and good business man, one largely devoted to the interests of his home and his family, living quietly and unostentatiously, and preferring the comforts of his own fireside to mingling with the busy world. Although by no means advanced in years, he served in the Union Army during the late war, and preserves a vivid recollection of many of the experiences of that terrible time, in which he endured in common with his brother soldiers the hardships and privations of army life. He belonged to the home guards.
The parents of our subject, David B. and Betsey (Kagie) Strong, were natives respectively of New York and Pennsylvania, whence they removed in their youth with their parents to Trumbull County, Ohio, where they were married. The mother died many years ago. Both David B. Strong and his father, the paternal grandfather of our subject, are still living. The parental household included three sons and one daughter; the latter, Mary H., died when about thirteen years old. The other sons, John A. and Henry A. are living in Ohio and Wisconsin.
George A. Strong was born in Trumbull County, Ohio, May 12, 1846 (sic), and soon after the death of his mother, which occurred when he was seven years old, began life for himself. He worked on a farm until the spring of 1862, and then, although but a youth of sixteen years, enlisted in a regiment called the Trumbull Guards, being mustered in at Gallipolls, and at the close of the war was mustered out at the same place. He had participated in several skirmishes.
After the close of the war young Strong began an apprenticeship at the blacksmith trade, at which he worked three years in the Buckeye State. In the spring of 1868 he resolved to seek the farther West, and came to this county homesteading the quarter-section of land from which he total transformed a valuable and productive farm. He has put up most of the buildings which he now occupies, and for the last nine or ten years has operated a blacksmith-shop on his farm, which has not only been the source of a great convenience to himself, but his neighbors also. His fields are divided by beautiful hedge fences, and he has planted fruit and shade trees, having an apple orchard of 200 trees, besides the smaller fruits.
Mr. Strong after coming to the West was married in the town of Syracuse, this county, Sept. 12, 1877, to Miss Sopha, daughter of T. J. and E. J. (James) Edwards, who were natives respectively of Kentucky and Ohio. They removed with their parents to Missouri and were married in that State, where the father for a time followed his trade of mason. In 1873 they came to this county, lived for a time in Nebraska City, and then on a farm in Fremont County, Iowa. Finally returning to Syracuse, they lived there a short time, then changed their residence to Johnson County, where they still make their home. Of their children, twelve in number, seven are living, namely: Amelia, Susan, John, Sopha, Thomas, Josephine and Frank. The brothers and sisters of Mrs. Strong are residents mostly of Nebraska.
The wife of our subject was born in De Kalb County, Mo., July 28, 1856, received a good education, and taught school four terms before her marriage. She is a very intelligent lady and a favorite in the social circles of her neighborhood. Of her union with our subject there have been born five children, viz: M. Luella, Fred C., Susie B., J. Alta and E. Ruth. They are all at home with their parents. Mr. Strong is a Republican, "dyed in the wool," and an uncompromising Harrison and Morton man. He has been a member of the School Board of his district for the past three years, and Road Supervisor six years.

The Dublin Progress, 25 October 1888

This is ASSUMED but not verified as certain, to be Ralph and Mary's son Harry who died as an infant. Four years earlier, Ralph had been living in nearby Callahan County, living and working at a railroad camp. It is assumed he was in Erath county for the same reasons. The family later moved back to North Texas, and then to Oklahoma.

Rhodene Frederick found the following biography of Henry and Emma from the "Historical Collections of Bristol Township, Bristolville, Ohio" by Thomas J. Kachur 1989, p. 210.

Strong, Henry A. b in Bristol Mar 12, 1846, son of David and Betsey Kagy Strong. David Strong was a native of New York. Betsey Kagy came to Bristol from Pennsylvania. Henry was a blacksmith and operated a shop in Warren. He di June 4, 1903. His wife, Emma A. Tovey, was b in England, and came to America withy her parents at the age of three. They were m in 1879 and were the parents of Harry, Clarence, and Warren A. Strong, all of Cleveland. David and Betsey Kagy Strong were m Mar 16, 1841.

A more complete biography of the family is in A TWENTIETH CENTURY HISTORY OF TRUMBULL COUNTY, OHIO: The Lewis Publishing Company, Chicago, 1909, by Harriet Taylor Upton of Warren.

Upton notes that "the mother of Mr. Strong was of a prominent family in Trumbull county named KAGY, who came from Pennsylvania. The family are in possession of a genealogy tracing back to Switzerland, from which European country they originated. Mr. Strong was reared and educated in Trumbull county and was by trade a blacksmith. He carried on a shop twenty years and up to his death, when he was one of the oldest business men in point of years in Warren. He was highly succesful in his undertakings. He made his own way through life from early boyhood and he owned considerable real estate and was associated with Messrs. LAUB (sic) and WALLACE of Warren. In his politics, he was a staunch defender of Republican party principles. He was known as a hard working man and educated his family in a commendable manner. After having spent a useful life he died June (sic) 4, 1903.

Henry Strong drew up his will on October 11, 1902. It is recorded in Will Bk #22 p. 1-4. He left the use of his homestead at 201 Park Avenue in Warren to his beloved wife Emma for her life. He also left her all the rents and profits from the "brick block known as the Meat Market property, on the east side of Park Avenue" which he owned an undivided on-half interest with Willam G. LAMB; the blacksmith shop site on Park Avenue; his undivided one-third interest he owned with William G. LAMB and Mrs. S.S. ERNEST in the Christy property on East Market Street; three lots in the McMyler addition in West Warren; $3,000 in life insurance; along with all his personal property and household goods. He further directed that all the property left after the decease of Emma should be equally divided among his three sons. In addition to the land he left Emma, he had various parcels, most owned in undivided interests with other individuals, that he left directly to his sons. He added that the sons should not come into absolute possesion and control in the various real estate possessions until they reached the age of 30, for the reason that he regarded said property as a good and valuable investment that would increase in value. He also willed to his son, Clarence, his gold watch and chain, providing he had not already bought him one of his own prior to his death. He left his son, Warren, his homestead on Park Avenue. He noted in the will that the Franklin block, left to Clarence, was the most valuable piece of his real estate, and this is why he left Harry and Warren the Meat Market and Homestead subject to Emma's life estate, respectively, in an attempt to equalize the values bequethed. Finally, Henry appointed his friend, William G. LAMB as trustee of the assets to be bequethed to his minor son, Warren.

His obituary, copied below, was located by William Billig of Michigan:

OBITUARY, WARREN DAILY TRIBUNE, JANUARY 5, 1903, PAGE 1, COLUMN 4

WAS A REMARKABLE MAN Henry A. Strong of 201 North Park avenue, this city, died Sunday morning at 2:20 o'clock. His death was the result of a very aggravated case of catarrh of the stomach. About October 1, Mr. Strong quit work and went to Cleveland to seek medical assistance. His trouble was pronounced catarrh of the stomach and an operation was recommended, but Mr. Strong refused to undertake the operation. He returned home and later consulted Dr. Hoover of Cleveland.

On December 11, Dr. Hoover, with the assistance of local physicians, made an incision into Mr. Strong's stomach and discovered that the prognosis was correct. The found further that the trouble had reached a stage that rendered an operation useless, and that his death was only a question of a few weeks. According to the physicians, Mr. Strong's condition was of about eighteen months' duration.

Henry Strong was born in Bristolville, the son of Mr. and Mrs. David Strong, on March 12, 1846. He learned his trade of horseshoer in Bristol an from there he went to Meadville, Pa., where he worked for a few weeks. In March, 1866, he came to Warren and for about two months worked at his trade for Geo. and Homer Reid. He then went to work at the present stand on South Park avenue, and a few months later, with John Hardy, bought out the business. A few years later he purchased Mr. Hardy's interest and since that time until his fast illness had worked and conducted the business a the same location in the same building.

Mr. Strong was married to Emma Tovey of Cleveland, April 10, 1879. To this union were born three children, Harry A., Clarence A. and Warren, all living.

In many ways Mr. Strong was a remarkable man. His life shows what industry and indomitable determination will do. Starting with no capital but good health, a strong arm and lots of push, he accumulated a fortune of $60,000. Warren people have always recognized Henry Strong as a man worthy of confidence and respect, and a man whose word was as good as his bond. Besides his home and place of business, his interests embraced the old Opera House block, the Chase block, the L & S. block, and the Kirk property in conjunction with W. G. Lamb, and the Franklin block owned jointly with W. G. Lamb and Wm. Wallace.

He was a member of the Royal Arcanum having joined that order Feb. 3, 1882.

The funeral will be held at the residence Tuesday afternoon at 1 o'clock. Rev. Henry E. Cooke of the Episcopal church will officiate.

The census listing for Hezekiah and Caroline from 1850 through 1880 follow. It is noteworthy that 1850, 1860 and 1870, Hezekiah had either a niece or nephew living with him. Hezekiah's biography, which also follows, indicates he was a prosperous man. Perhaps he was helping family members who were struggling to provide for their families. Or perhaps it was his pioneering spirit that attracted his relatives to his home.

HEZEKIAH B. STRONG one of the prominent early settlers of Nebraska, and who probably arrived here before anyone in this locality now living, has for the last twenty-two years been a resident of Todd Creek Precinct, and is the owner of a valuable farm embracing 185 acres of highly cultivated land with commodious and substantial buildings. He at one time owned a much larger acreage, but has sold off considerable.
Our subject arrived on the soil of Nebraska the 7th day of August, 1856, nearly eleven years before it was admitted into the Union as a State. He had made the journey overland from Wisconsin with teams and crossed the Missouri River on a flatboat. He settled first in Richardson County, near the present site of Falls City, but a year later changed his location to the present site of Nemaha City. There he purchased land, paying $1,000 for 160 acres, in Buchanan's Addition, taking all he could secure. That land he improved, making two miles of fence the first year. He held the property five years, in the meantime erecting buildings, setting out twenty acres of forest trees and two or three acres of fruit. In company with his wife and daughters, he put up one of the finest barns then in the county. This farm is now owned by Thomas Kean, and lies three miles southwest of Nemaha.
The neighbors of Mr. Strong at the time of his coming here were few and far between, and Indians roamed over the country, but aside from stealing whatever they could lay their hands upon, they did not molest the settlers, who were thankful to get off thus easily. Mr. Strong finally took up his residence on the Nemaha River, purchasing a tract of land in 1865, where he. began the building up of a homestead which he has disposed of. He was the founder of the town of Butler's Mills, and operated the first flouring-mill in that locality, grinding corn for people at Beatrice, and turned out the first bag of flour in the county.
It will be seen that Mr. Strong was one of the leading men of this section of country, and it is quite natural that he should be one of the first appointed Postmaster, which office he held for two years at Butler, and was succeeded by a Mr. O. M. Holmes. He was also the first Station Agent for the Burlington & Missouri River Railroad, and as such was in the employ of that company a period of five years. In the meantime he steadily proceeded with the improvement of his land, and in the fall of 1881 finished one of the finest residences in this part of the county. This is a large, two story, frame structure, conveniently arranged, finely finished and handsomely furnished. The main barn corresponds entirely with the residence, and the sheds and cattle pens afford ample shelter for stock. Mr. Strong is largely interested in the breeding of road horses, and has one of the finest Hambletonian stallions in the State. He also has a three-year-old mare of the same breed, which is very valuable. His cattle are the Short-horns and his swine the Poland-China. The farm is enclosed with hedge fencing, and the fields which are not at present under cultivation are rich in good pasturage. About sixty acres of valuable timber add to the importance of the property, while the waste is utilized for fuel.
The subject of this sketch was born in Onondaga County, N. Y., Jan. 30, 1822, and lived there with his father until a lid of thirteen years. About 1835, leaving the Empire State, he emigrated to Wisconsin, making the journey via the first lake steamer set afloat. A few years afterward our subject sold the first peaches and apples ever marketed on the streets in the State of Wisconsin. He lived there about four years, then went East, and was united in marriage with Miss Caroline Stocking, a native of his own county, and soon afterward returned with his bride to Milwaukee. Later they settled on the Whitewater River in Jefferson County, where Mr. Strong became owner of a valuable tract of land.
To Mr. and Mrs. Strong there were born three children--Emma, Edward B. and Ella, all of whom are deceased. Ella married Peter Wright, and became the mother of three children, one of whom, a son, Carlton, is still living, and makes his home with his grandfather, attending school. Mrs. Caroline (Stocking) Strong was born Feb. 19, 1820, and was reared to womanhood in her native county, living there with her parents until her marriage. Site received a common-school education and that careful home training which fitted her for her subsequent duties in life.
Mr. Strong cast his first Presidential vote for J. K. Polk, being then a member of the Democratic party, but soon after the organization of the Republicans, considered he had reason to change his views and for the last thirty-two years has been one of the warmest supporters of Republican principles. After the outbreak of the late Civil War, he enlisted in Company H, 8th Kansas Infantry, being mustered in in November, 1862, and serving as a non-commissioned officer. He was at the battles of Perryville, Crab Orchard, Murfreesboro, and various other engagements and skirmishes, and at the end of his term of enlistment received his honorable discharge in March, 1863.
Ansel Strong, the father of our subject, was born in Connecticut, in about 1785, and upon reaching manhood was married to Miss Hannah Stocking. They removed to Onondaga County, N. Y., where they spent the remainder of their days, the death of the father taking place about 1865 (sic), after he had reached the advanced age of eighty-seven years. The mother died about 1826. The parental family consisted of five children.

22467 I22  Strong  Homer Richard  29 Feb 1908  19 Sep 1990  Homer was born in a Leap Year's day, February 29, 1908. He used March 1 as his "official" birthday, however, so he could celebrate it each year instead of only once every four years.

He was eight when his mother died, and twelve when his father remarried. Neither Homer nor Barney were pleased with their new step-mother, Stella Crouch. They left home around 1925, and went to Portales, New Mexico, to live with their Uncle Rolla Strong. They grew enough beans and maize to feed the horses, and lived on Rolla's $17 a month pension from the Navy. They also spent sometime with their grandfather, Ralph, at his Ranch in nearby Pep.

In 1927, Homer moved back to Duncan, Oklahoma to be closer to his parents. He worked for a cotton gin. In 1929, he went to live with his Uncle Alois Soukup in Prague, Oklahoma. His Uncle died in an explosion while trying to rechannel a creek. Homer and a friend were in the creek setting the dynamite, while Alois on the bank putting in the fuses. Homer lost the hearing in one ear as a result of this explosion. After his Uncles death, he returned to Duncan. This is where he met his wife, Anna Laura at a dance. At the time of the 1930 census, he was a boarder with the Elmer Michels family in Duncan.

At the time, Homer was painting signs for Fuzzy Carter, at his sign company. Bill and Charles Strong both caddied for Fuzzy years later, when they were teenagers. Fuzzy had a sing up during WWII that said, in one continuous statement, "Quityourdamnbellyachingandbuymorewarbonds." This sign was on the side of the Palace Theatre. In 1936, Homer went to work for Coca Cola for $15 a week, painting signs. It was during the depression and work was scare. Roonie recounts that one day they simply ran out of food. Their eldest son was just an infant. Roonie said all they had in the house was one heal end of a loaf of bread. She borrowed a spoonful of syrup from their neighbor, and put that on the bread for Charles. She and Homer did without that day. Although there were many other days that food and money were very sparse, that was the only day they did totally without.

Homer was drafted in 1943, and helped train men at Fort Sill. He was discharged as a Sergeant First Class on March 15, 1949, and forever after was known by his nickname "Sarg." He was a Radio Repairman (Instructor) 8648, and eventually was in charge of the radio repair school at Fort Sill. Charles Strong notes that Homer's being drafted was what brought the family out of poverty and put them on the road to economic stability.

Homer went back to Coca Cola after the war, and then to Halliburton. He worked for Halliburton from 1951 to 1972. He was a sign painter and worked in their carpentery shop.

His military records show that he completed 8 years of Grammer School, but did not attend High School. His wife Roonie recounted that Homer was always a bit defensive about his lack of a formal education. He worked hard later in his life to make up for this. He read extensively, and took continuing education courses in subjects such as Spanish. He loved music, and had a wide collection of tapes, ranging from country and western to Spanish Flamenco to opera. Although he had no training in music, he would write out the scores of his favorite songs by listening to them over and over again, recreating them on his keyboard, and then writing them out. He also loved to do the daily crossword puzzle, in pen. After they retired, he and Roonie were able to travel to Europe, where they stayed where they visited their son Bill, who was stationed in Germany.

Homer's obituary in the Duncan, Oklahoma newspaper read as follows:

H.R. "Sarg" Strong, 82, 1806 Birch, died Wednesday, September 19, 1990, in a Duncan hospital. A Rosary will be at 7:30 pm Friday in the Don Grantham Funeral Home Chapel. Service will be at 10 am Saturday in Assumption Catholic Church with Father Paul Gillespie officiating. Burial will be in Duncan cemetery.

Mr. Strong was born March 1, 1908 in Lawton. He was retired from Halliburton Services, and a U.S. Army veteran, serving from 1943 to 1948. He was a member of Assumption Catholic Church. On October 23, 1931 (sic), he married Anna L. Payne in Waurika.

Survivors include his wife of the home; five sons, Charles Strong of Edinburg, Texas, Bill Strong of Yukon, John Strong of Duncan, Tom Strong of Phoenix, Arizona and Paul David Strong of Santa Barbara, California; two daughters, Caroline Brasher of Duncan and Theresa Rutledge of Austin; four brothers Barnie Strong of Gainesville, Texas and Bob Strong, Cecil Lewis and Jack Strong, all of Lawton; a sister Viola Weaver of Gainesville; 23 grandchildren and eight great grandchildren. (Note: at the time, Homer actually had 22 grandchildren and nine great granchildren). Bearers will be grandsons.

22474 I1290  Strong  Jack Neil  25 Dec 1915  13 Dec 2003  Most of the information below was obtained on January 29, 1999 at Donald Joe Weavers ranch in St. Joe, Texas. Tape recordings were made over several hours. The quality of the tapes is poor due to background noise. Those present were Viola Strong Weaver, her son Don and his wife Pat, Barney Strong and his wife Violet, Anna L. (Rooney) Strong, Jack Neill Strong, and the compiler, Charles Strong.

Jack and his twin brother Jake were born on Christmas Day 1915, Jake dying shortly after his birth. Jack's mother, Tessie Soukup Strong died about six months later. Shortly after his mother's death, one of Walter Strong's aunts, Rosetta Neill came to visit the Strong family in Prague, Oklahoma. Jack was very ill. Rosetta and her husband, Hamilton Neill, took Jack home with them to Vinson (Harmon) County, Oklahoma to better care for him.

The Neill's farm was large and even had indoor plumbing, a rarity in rural Oklahoma in 1916. Jack went to school in Vinson, about 8 miles from the farm. In the early years, he traveled to school by horse and wagon, and later on a T-Model Ford School bus. When Jack was in either the fourth or fifth grade, he was teasing some girls and got into a fight. After the fight, they told him he didn't even have a father or mother. At the age of 10 or 11, this was a shock. As he walked up the lane to the farmhouse, his mother saw that he was crying and had been fighting. His dad asked what was wrong. Jack replied, "The kids said you weren't my Papa and Mama." They came clean and stated "We are not your Mama and Papa. You were a sick little baby, and we went and got you and we picked you out to be one of our little family." This did not help one bit. At this age, one does not understand that. Jack said "As a result of this, up to this day, it is hard for me to trust anybody!" After this, it was never the same. They treated me better than their own kids. They had two boys and two girls already gone from home. I was the only child there, and they spoiled me rotten.

When Jack was 14 or 15, the Neills told him that his father, Walter Strong, was alive. Shortly after this, Mr. Neill died, and Jack took care of his mother. He had to quit school, but went back for awhile. Mrs. Neill took Jack to see Walter and his stepmother, Stella. Perhaps this was when they were living west of Lawton, around 1931 or 1932. They visited for two or three days. Jack recalls playing with some kids. They were probably Barney, Bob, and Cecil. The day before they were to go home, they were eating and Walter asked Jack if he wanted to stay with them, or go home with Mommy Neill. Jack said "I want to go home." He thought that Walter might have been hurt by this decision. The next morning, he and his mother took the bus back to Vinson, Oklahoma. He added that "All of this was in the back of my mind, and I was very confused.

The Neill's may also have been uncertain as to their relationship with Jack. On the 1920 census, he was listed as their adopted son. In 1930, he was listed simply as a lodger.

After high school in the 1930's, Jack went to work for C.R. Anthony Company as a shoe salesman in Lawton, Oklahoma. There was a disagreement one evening after a big day's sale, to military personnel on payday, and Jack was fired. It appears he had a date. When he didn't show up for work on Monday, Mr. Anthony called him up from Oklahoma City. Jack refused to go back to Lawton, but agreed to continue working for him at the Oklahoma City store.

Soon Jack was working two jobs. His second job was with a drug store. About this time he married Bernadine and needed the money. This was in the late 1930s when times were hard. Soon, he was working at the drug store during the day, and as a bartender at the Black Hotel in the evenings. This was right before World War II. He doubled his wages.

While holding down these two jobs, Jack was drafted into the army early in World War II. While working at the bar, airmen from the Will Rogers Air Corps Base who were customers advised Jack to try to become a cook in the service. Upon induction into the army, he told them he was a cook at the Black Hotel. He was given a test about cuts of meat. Having grown up on a ranch, the test was a snap. At Fort Sill, Oklahoma, he received ill-fitting clothes that afternoon, and was awakened at 4 am the next morning to scramble eggs all day in a field kitchen.

Jack was shipped to Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri for basic training. While at Fort Leonard Wood, he cooked but never went through basic training, except for the rifle range. Jack was shipped overseas, first to North Africa, then to Sicily. He travelled "from the toe up through the north till the war ended." After the war, Jack was discharged in Virginia Beach, VA. Upon discharge, he hired a man with a Piper Cub plan to fly him to Oklahoma for $150, half of his mustering out pay.

Back in Oklahoma, Jack worked first for a beauty and barber supply company. Next he worked for Tom's Peanut Company. After that, he took a job selling jewelry and toys to stores in southern Oklahoma and northern Texas. He also sold buttons and zippers. He worked for the Pearl Button Company of Lansing, Iowa for 32 years. Charles R. Strong and some of his brothers and sisters recall visiting Jack several times during these years. The Button Company went bankrupt, and so went Jacks retirement. Jack next started to sell flags, banners, and sales promotion material like that foung around car lots, parades, etc. The flag business was in several locations. First Austin and Seguin, Texas. Next he went to Miami, Florida. After Florida, he lived in New Orleans, Louisiana for 9 years. Later he retired to Hawaii and loved it. Since his only income was Social Security and he could not afford trips to the states to visit his children, he moved back to the states and settled in Forth Worth around 1994.

22493 I15545  Strong  John  Abt 1610  14 Apr 1699  Governor Caleb Strong, in 1779, wrote the following article about his ancestor, the Elder John Strong. It was noted by Marilyn Maxfield King that this was published in the "New England Historical and Genealogical Register," Volume 23, in 1869.

"Elder John Strong, was born and lived in England, near Taunton in Somersetshire. His father was, Richard (sic) Strong who died when John was small. His grandfather, who was Roman Catholic lived to be very old, but died before his grandson left England. Elder John came to America in the year 1630 in the ship Mary and John in company with Mr Warham, Maverick, Mason, Clap and arrived at Nantasket on the 30th. of May that year and settled in Dorchester. John married his first wife in England, she died on the passage or short time after arriving, leaving two young children, the youngest of which died in two months after it's mother. John married second to Abigail Ford, a sister of Capt. Clap's wife, at Dorchester in 1635/36. John and second wife moved from Dorchester to Windsor, Ct. and with four others was appointed superintendant of bringing settlers to that place. He lived in Windsor for several years than moved to Northampton in the year 1659 where he died April 14, 1699 about 94 years of age. He was the first ruling Elder of the Church of Northampton. Abigail Ford Strong died 6 July 1688. A sister (Eleanor) of John's came with him from England and married a man by the name of Dean. John Strong had 16 children besides that which died young."

Although Gov. Caleb Strong believed that Elder John Strong arrived to New England in 1630 aboard the "Mary and John," Elder John may actually arrived on the "Hopewell" in 1635. He was listed as "Jon STRONGE for himself and family, and goods" in the Index to Ships & Passengers to the American Colonies, Exchequer K.R. 1618-1668 copied from Port Book E 190/876/1. The "Hopewell" sailed from Weymouth, 8 May 1635. It is also possible that, as a youth of 20 that he came with the Winthrop Fleet on the Mary & John, later returning to England to and married first wife Margerie DEANE, and permanently emigrating to the Massachussets Bay Colony aboard the Hopewell with members of the Deane family.

Benjamin Dwight quotes church records from Northampton to explain how he obtained his office and title as Elder John Strong: "After solemn and extraordinary seeking to God for his direction and blessing, the church chose John Strong ruling elder, and William Holton, deacon. They were ordained 13: 3 mo: '63" (or June 13, 1663, O.S., or N.S. June 24, 1663--the year beginning then in March)." (Dwight, p 16).

Y DNA Results, FTDNA Haplogroup:

R1b1c

The following website has more details, as well as the ancestral modal values for Elder John Strong and his descendants who have been tested:

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~donegalstrongs/dnaresults.htm

The members of R1b are believed to be the descendants of the first modern humans who entered Europe about 35,000-40,000 years ago. Those R1b forebearers were the people who painted the beautiful art in the caves in Spain and France. They were the contemporaries (and perhaps exterminators) of the European Neanderthals. R1b is the most common Y haplogroup in Europe - more than half of men of European descent belong to R1b. Fourteen of the 30 most common haplotypes in the YSTR.org database are typical of R1b.

His family was not mentioned in the will of Elder John Strong having received, along with his brother Return Strong, the Tanneries in Windsor as his inheritance portion. The inventory of the estate of John Strong, was taken Feb 28, 1697/8; it names the children as John Strong, age 32, Jacob, 25; Josiah, 19; Mary STANLY (sic), 40, and Hannah HOPKINS, 36. The following month, two agreements were made by the heirs, the first relating to the dower of the widow Hannah Strong, who is called mother-in-law [stepmother] of the sons; the second, relating to distribution to the children, signed by John, Jacob and Josiah Strong, Return Strong, as the guardian of Josiah, and Timothy STANLEY and John HOPKINS.
