Generation: 1
1. | Benjamin Franklin Strong was born on 21 Aug 1817 in Vesper, Onondaga County, New York (son of Ansel Strong and Hannah Shailer Stocking); and died. Notes:
Dwight lists him as "a farmer in Clayton, Wis., m. Sophia THOMPSON." (Vol. I, p 194).

It APPEARS that Sophia died sometime after 1850, most likely sometime after 1855 when George was born. It also noteworthy that there is now a seven year old Sylvester STRONG listed. The relationship between George and Mary STRONG, age 33, is not known. She might be a second wife, or might be a relative that came to help him with his children. It is unusual that she is listed last in the household, and not immediately following his listing.

Charles STRONG 11 At School Wi
It appears that Benjamin was remarried to Eliza, most likely prior to the birth of Charles Strong. However, if Charles is actually 11, then both Eliza and Charles should have been listed in Benjamin's household at the time of the 1860 census. Perhaps Charles is a stepson. It is also interesting that 17 year old Sylvester Strong was missing from the 1860 census. He was either inadvertantly left off that census, or he might actually also be a son of Eliza from a prior marriage, and a stepson to Benjamin.
Finally, this is the household at the time of the 1880 Census:
