Benjamin Dwight writes that he was "a millwright at Brandon, Vt., and afterwards at Elbridge, N.Y, where he put up a saw-mill and grist-mill with his brother Reuben and afterwards removed to (Brutus, now) Sennett, Cayuga County, N.Y., where he bought a farm of 200 acres and spent the rest of his life as a farmer."

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.

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.

Link to the Passenger List of the Hopewell, from the Strong Family Association of America website.

http://www.strongfamilyofamerica.org/strong/hopelist.html

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).

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.

John was the only surviving child of this marriage [Elder John Strong to Margery DEANE, and was] born before Jul 22, 1634 when he was named with his mother in the will of his grandfather, William DEANE of Southchard, Chard, Somerset, England. John was a tanner and spent his life in Windsor, CT. He was a man of prominence in the affairs of that city. 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.

Abt 1832

10 Apr 1902

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.

Leon S. "Lee"

10 Apr 1884

29 Dec 1915

Although he was shown on the 1900 Census as Leon, his family always knew him as Lee. According to his death certificate, he had lived in Lawton for 14 years.

Lee's obituary appeared in the LAWTON CONSTITUTION on December 29, 1915:

LEE STRONG DIES TODAY Man Accidentally Shot Last Night While Wrestling Over A Revolver

Lee Strong, a farmer residing six miles east of Lawton on the Barber farm, who was accidentally shot yesterday evening, died this morning at ten o'clock at the Southwestern Hospital, following an operation, which was performed in the hope of saving his life, but he was too weak from the loss of blood to withstand the strain. The accident was purely accidental. Strong and the farm hand had finished loading fodder, and had been hunting rabbits with a .38 revolver. It was discharged hitting Strong in the back. Medical aid was summoned from Lawton and later he was brought to the hospital. The deceased leaves a wife and son; one brother in Los Angeles, one brother in Lawton and father in Mexico (sic). He was 31 years old. The remains will be held at the Ritter Undertaking Parlors until they hear from relatives. (As transcribed by Lynell Gentry Cordell).

LEE STRONG FUNERAL HELD SUNDAY

The funeral of Lee Strong, who died Wednesday morning from the results of being accidentally shot by a farm hand of the Barber farm, was held yesterday afternoon at the Baptist church at 2:30. Rev. A.L. Leake conducted the funeral services. Relatives of the deceased accompanied the body to its last resting place.

(Article from Lawton Constitution December 29, 1915)

Birth Record

In the Cotton County Oklahoma birth records 1912-1918 Book 14 listed the following:

Father, Strong, Lee, and A. E. Choate May 30, 1916 by a Dr. Jones

Since Lee died the prior December, his wife was apparently pregnant.

In the Comanche County History Volume I, 1985, published by the Southwestern Historical Society, has a historical notation on Junction City and Geronimo, Oklahoma.

January 1902, 13 miles south of Lawton, Oklahoma, Junction City was platted and lots were sold for as little at $2.00. It had a few small shops and a saloon, and a Dr. Samuel Makemson. Two miles north Geronimo was platted prior to the arrival of the Rock Island Line. ( Homer Strong was born in Junction City.)

Presently, Junction City is completely gone, and there's not much left of Geronimo. The railroad is gone. There is one little cafe, a grocery store, and a filling station. It's a quaint little town.

Rhodene Frederick found the following burial records for Highland Cemetery in Lawton (Section 3276):

Strong, Lee, b. 1884, d. 1915, 31y

Mary Caroline Brasher, 78, of Duncan, Oklahoma passed away Friday morning, January 5, 2018 in Duncan. Funeral services will be held at 2:00PM Monday January 8, 2018 at Don Grantham Funeral Home Chapel with Rev. Glenn McGee officiating. Interment will follow at Duncan Cemetery under the care of Don Grantham Funeral Home. The family will receive friends 5:30 to 7:00pm Sunday evening, January 7, 2018 at the funeral home.

Caroline was born in Duncan, Oklahoma on March 18, 1939. She was the fourth of seven children of Homer and Anna Laura. She was baptized and raised in the Assumption Catholic Church in Duncan where she was a member for many years. She often spoke of warm childhood memories of family, friends, dancing and music. She recalled as a very young child meeting her father on Friday afternoons coming home from Ft. Sill during the War and walking home with him and about being the fastest runner on the street as a child, frequently out running her male playmates. She dearly loved her brothers and sister.

After high school, she met James Earl "Jim" Brasher, an army serviceman stationed at Fort Sill and they soon fell in love and were married May 28, 1960. Caroline and Jim became lifelong residents of Duncan where they raised their four children. Caroline was a tireless homemaker, ran a small day-care from home, and was avidly involved in her children's school and sports activities. Caroline enjoyed spending her later years collecting and watching classic movies, listening to Frank Sinatra tunes, remodeling her homes, attending family reunions and traveling. She loved the colorful Southwest desert landscape, and made a few trips to visit the rich cultural heritage found in Santa Fe, New Mexico with family and church members. She loved following OU football and OKC Thunder basketball. Most of all, she loved her family and was very proud of her children's and grandchildren's accomplishments. She was passionate about giving to charitable causes including religious and cultural affiliations. She drew strength from Billy Graham and other evangelical ministries and was a prayer warrior, especially during her beloved husband's prolonged illness.

Caroline is preceded in death by her devoted husband of 57 years, her parents, Homer and Anna Laura Strong, her sister, Theresa, and beautiful granddaughter Alexandra. Caroline is survived by her children Regina Stuart and her husband, Don; Libby Morris and her husband Terry; Andy Brasher and his wife, Kim; and Patti Moore and her husband Steve. Grandchildren Brandon, Shelby, Beau, Victoria, Trevor, Caroline, Jeremy, Caelan, Shannon and Kathleen. Great-grandchildren Jackson, Addison, James, Elizabeth and Clay all of whom she loved and was so very proud of.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Christians Concerned at 702 W. Willow Ave, Duncan, OK 73533. Online condolences may be sent to the family at www.granthamfuneralhomes.com.
