29 Mar 1680

He is said to have received his name from the fact that he was born in a great snow storm and was preserved alive nonetheless. He removed from Northhampton to Lebanon, Ct., in 1714, and after 1720 to Coventry, Ct., and was one of the selectmen of Coventry in 1730, '31, '34, and '35. (Dwight, p 986).

Ralph Brainerd

18 May 1857

20 Apr 1929

For many years, it was assumed by his descendants that Ralph's middle name was pronounced Bernard. However, on Ralph's death certificate, filed by son Walter, his middle name was listed as "Brenard." Walter also named one of his sons after his father. Although the exact spelling he intended is not clear, his son's name was pronounced "Branyard." It appears, therefore, that Ralph shared his middle name with his father "Brainerd," a name that was apparently common in New England, but rare in rural Texas and Oklahoma.

1860 OHIO Census, Trumbull County Bristol Township Enumerated on 24 August 1860 With his parents, David Brainerd and Leonora (Sherman) Strong as a 2 year old

There was another Ralph Strong, age 4, on the 1860 Ohio census, the son of Samuel Strong of nearby Lake County, However, his death certificate shows that he was the son of Samuel STRONG and Sarah SCHRAM, and was born in July 1, 1856.

1870 NEBRASKA Census, Johnson County Todd Creek Township
Living with his Uncle, Hezekiah Strong, and listed as R.B. Strong, age 12, born in Ohio, Farm Laborer

Ralph and Mary Ella Hall were married in 1878 in Hunt County, Texas. They were living west of Hunt in 1880, in Collin County, Texas. Mary's parents, Mash and Eliza Hall lived in Collin County as well. By 1900, they had relocated to Hopkins County, Texas.

There was one other Strong family in Collin County in 1880, however, it does not appear that they were related to Ralph as they were from Tennessee.

In April, 1894, Henry A. Strong of Trumbull County, Ohio served as the administrator of the estate of his step-mother, Leanora A. (Sherman) STRONG. He filed a petition to sell lands. In his petition, he filed an affidavit for service by publication on Ralph Strong. The index page to the Estate shows he tried to send the statutorily required "notice to non residents" to Ralph in both Baird, Callihan (sic) County, Texas and in Blue, Indian Territory, apparently with no response. Blue is due North of Hunt County, where Ralph and Ella were married. Baird is in southwest of Collin County, near Abilene, in Callahan County. Ralph and his family apparently next move to the northeast of Collin County, as by 1896 the family was in Sulphur Springs, Hopkins County, Texas. At the time of the 1900 Federal Census, they were still in Hopkins County.

The 1900 census also indicated that Mary was the mother of nine children, eight of whom were living. According to Viola Strong Weaver's Bible, presented to her by her parents in August, 1950, the ninth child was apparently a son named Harry. He appears to have died young, as neither his birth or death date is recorded in the Bible.

Ralph next moved his family North, to the Oklahoma Terrotory, where Mary Ella died in 1905.

Ralph moved even further westward, where he is listed on the 1910 Roosevelt County, New Mexico Territory Census, Precinct No 12, Dora, with his second wife, Mary Stockbridge, and youngest son Ernest.

This census is notable as it shows Ralph's father as being born in New York instead of Ohio. Charles Strong read the Roosevelt County, New Mexico census for the year of 1920, but was not able to locate the family. Nor was he able to locate the family on the soundex for New Mexico.

Homer Strong reported that in additona to farming his grandfather, Ralph, had worked both as a jockey and a plainclothes policeman. Ralph's great-granddaughter, Peggy Patty, reports that Ralph actually was a bounty hunter, as was his oldest son Augustus (her grandfather). Plainclothes policeman was simply the more polite term the family used to describe this work, of which they were not proud.

On April 15, 1929, about 10 days before his death, Ralph and Mary entered into a warranty deed with Mrs. C. E. MITCHELL. They apparently sold her approximately 160 acres of land for $2,400. Mrs. MITCHELL also became responsible for the mortgage of $500. This land was situated in the Southwest Quarter of Section 24, Township 5 South, Range 34, East of the New Mexico Meriden in the County of Roosevelt, State of New Mexico. They sold it to her "reserving...the use of three (3) acres...the dwelling house, out-buildings, garden and orchards for a home as long as (either or both) of them shall live." On January 16, 1924, they had mortgaged this same 160 acres of land to Beulah H. Gibson for $500. Mary's sister, Celia Stockbridge, was married to a Frank MITCHELL.

In late April, 1929, the following article was published in the DUNCAN BANNER

SONS BRING FATHER HERE FOR TREATMENT

"R.B. Strong, father of Burt and W.W. Strong of Duncan, is being brought here from Partalas (sic), N.M. in a Beeson Grantham ambulance. Burt Strong left with the ambulance Tuesday to get his father, who had been in ill health for some time. They are expected here Thursday morning. Mr. Strong has been at Partalas for several months."

Ralph was moved into the home of his son Burt after being brought to Duncan. However, Burt and his father soon had a tremendous fight, and he moved Ralph to Walter's home. Barney remembers his parents living on the 700 block of Stephens about this time, although the obituary below lists this as the 700 block of 8th street. It is not known which of these addresses is correct. Barney also recalls that Burt and Ralph reconciled immediately before Ralph died.

Ralph's obituary was published in the Duncan (Oklahoma) Eagle Weekly on Thursday, April 25, 1929:

RALPH B. STRONG TAKEN BY DEATH

"Ralph B. Strong, 71 years of age, passed away here at 3:15 o'clock Saturday afternoon at the home of Walter W. Strong, 705 S. 8th Street. Cancer was the cause of his death. Funeral services were held at the Beeson Grantham Chapel at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon with Rev. T.P. Haskins of the Baptist Church officiating. Burial was at the Lawton Cemetery.

The deceased was a pioneer resident of New Mexico. He had homesteaded there 22 years ago and lived at Portales. He was brought to the home of his son here in Grantham Ambulance about three weeks ago, when his illness became more serious.

Surviving are the wife, seven sons, seventeen grandchildren, and three brothers. [Note: The surviving brothers would have been Frank, Fred and EITHER Charles or George.] The sons are Walter W. and Burt of Duncan, Claude and Earl of Cement, R.J. and A.H. of Tintino (sic), New Mexico, and Earnest of Toledo, Oregon."

On the death certificate, Walter W. Strong was the informant. He indicated that the parents of Ralph Brenard Strong were not known.

Rhodene Frederick found the following records relating to Ralphs burial at the Highland Cemetery in Lawton (Section 3276):

Strong, Ralph B., b. 1857, d. Apr 20, 1929, 72y, Ohio

His first wife, Mary Ella Hall, two of his sons (Leon and Walter), a daughter-in-law (Tessie Soukup) and grandson (Jake Strong) were buried in the same section.

Ralph William

1 Jul 1856

28 Jan 1948

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:

Dwight lists him as "a farmer in Greenfield, Milwaukee Co., Wis., m. Pamela FULLER, sister to his father's second wife." (Dwight, p 194).

Reuben was the first deacon of The First Baptist Church of West Allis, which was organized by Elder Richard Griffing in 1836, the first organized religion to establish itself in the area. The church struggled its first few years, trying to hold firm in its existence, but, finally, in May 1841 the 37 charter members voted to disband and reorganize in North Greenfield (now West Allis). On June 2, 1841, delegates met at the home of Eber Cornwall and established the Baptist Church of Greenfield. In its early years the church formed a circuit of three nearby churches under one pastor. Services were held in Cornwall's home, then in a schoolhouse and later in a building on land owned by Reuben Strong, the first deacon of the church. A church building was finally erected in 1869 at South 83rd Street and West National Avenue under the leadership of Rev. Enoch Underwood. When the Madison Division of the Northwestern Railroad was built through West Allis in 1883, the building was relocated to south 84th Street and West Mitchell Street.(http://www.firstbaptistwestallis.org/history.html)

Rolla served in the Navy during World War I. In 1910, he was living with his brother Walter's family in Prague, Comanche County, Oklahoma. He had moved to Oklahoma City prior to the 1920 census, where he was residing in a boarding home. He later homesteaded around Portales, New Mexico, eventually moving to Greystone, Colorado where he also patented land. Charles Strong spoke to some old time residents of Portales, New Mexico on a research trip. One such resident, J. B. Bates, remembered that Rolla worked for his father durign the winters.

His Colorado land patent was subscribed and sworn on October 17, 1929 at the Department of the Interior in Denver, Colorado. J.C. Thomas and A.H. Strong were witnesses. The land was W 1/2 E 1/2, W 1/2 Section 13, NE 1/4 Sec. 14 Tp. 8 N. Range 102 West 6th Principal Meridan, containing 640 acres. He used to land to raise catlle.

His last move westward was to California, where he continued to ranch.

On the 1870 Census, Cooke County, Texas, Household #7 in Precinct #3, is headed by Rozella Willburn. She is living with her 5 children and 65 year old Anna Strong born in Pennsylvania. I presume her to be R. Strong born 1841 in Ohio. The birth year and birth location match. It appears she married a Mr. Willburn prior to the birth of her oldest listed child, John W., age 15.

Walter Winfield

10 May 1881

4 Apr 1961

Walter's middle name, Winfield, does not appear to be a family name. It is assumed that he was named in honor of General Winfield Scott.

In 1907, Walter was living in Comanche County, Oklahoma (Source: Estate Settlement of Mash & Eliza J. Hall). As he and Tessie Soukup were married sometime before 1908, this is presumably where they met.

According to the June 18, 1908 WALTERS (Oklahoma) JOURNAL, "Walter Strong who worked at the barber trade last fall, but who for some time has been in Lawton and Temple has returned to Walters and is at work for E.J. Blair, proprietor of Modern Barber Shop." Walter was mentioned again in the April 1, 1909 issue of THE NEW ERA, "Walter Strong and family left here about two weeks ago to visit relatives in Prague, Oklahoma. They have decided to locate there." Charles Strong located the family in the 1910 Prague, Oklahoma telephone directory, published March 24, 1910. The residential phone number of Walter Strong was 89. It appears that there were 148 phone numbers assigned to both residents and businesses at the time.

At the time of the 1910 Federal Census, he and Tessie were living at 13th and Broadway, Creek Township, Prague City, Lincoln County, Oklahoma.

Tessie died when she was only 29 of what her family called "kidney poisoning." It may have been complication from the birth of her twin sons five months earlier.

After Tessie died, Walter moved to Iowa City, Wichita County, Texas. Iowa City was west of Wichita Falls, and on the Burlington Northern Rail line. He was living in a boarding house, on Block M, owned by Dale and Vivian Pierce from Iowa. Many of the lodgers in the house worked as Oil Field Laborers. Walter's occupation was listed as Barber. Presumably he had more customers, and could make more money, near Wichita Falls than he could have made by remaining in Lawton. He was listed on the 1920 Federal Census, enumerated in January 1920, as Walter Strawn (sic), Lodger, M W, 38, Wd, Texas, Ohio, Missouri Barber Barber Shop. He was listed immediately following a 19 year old Roy D. West, born in Mississippi, who was a bookkeeper at a bank. This does not appear to be his future step-son, as the age and place of birth are different. Also living in the boarding home with him was 24 year old John R. McLEMORE. In an amazing coincidence, meaning absolutely nothing, Walter's great grandson, Tom STRONG, would some sixty years later marry Roy McLemore's half first cousin, twice removed, Melinda McLEMORE.

Homer, Viola and Barney were temporarily cared for by a woman they called "Grandma Dominic." As far as anyone knows, she was not a relative. They can be found in her home, listed as boarders, at the time of the 1920 census.

Walter's youngest son, Jack, was very ill after his mother died, and was taken in by Walter's Aunt, Rosetta Hall.

Walter apparently moved back to Oklahoma shortly after the 1920 census, as he an Stella Crouch were married in Grady county in June 1920. Stella had two sons from previous marriages, Roy WEST and Cecil Afton LEWIS.

Barney remembers going to first grade in Bison, Garfield County, Oklahoma shortly after his father remarried Stella. There is a picture of Viola, Homer, Barney, Cecil and Roy, in the possession of both the Lewis and Strong families, that was taken in Bison. All the boys are in ties except Homer. Cecil obviously borrowed an adult's tie, and Barney remembers his tie being tucked in. Barney also remembers playing baseball in Bison, and scarring his leg badly on a broken snuff jar after one game. Homer recalls also living the city of Waukomis, near Bison.

Stella and Walter later had another son, Robert Henry Strong. They lived on a farm near Wellston.

At the time of the 1930 census, the family was living in the 2nd Ward, King Township, Duncan, Stephens County, Oklahoma.

W.R. Strong wrote his reminisences in his late years, and parts of these are quoted in the book "The First 100 Years In Cooke County" by A. Morton Smith (The Naylor Co: San Antonio, TX, 1955).

" (He) came to Cooke County with his family when he was 12 years of age, arriving by ox-wagon from Champaign County, Illinois in June 1846. At that time, he recalled the settlers were 'a man named Poplar who lived at Poplar Springs, Mr. Buchanan at Big Springs, Mr. Stamps near Nelson Grove, and Mr. Grimes at Grimes' Prarie, all of whom left the same year'....Frank Carpenter settled on Grimes' Prarie...Mr. Underwood and one son were killed by Indians at the head of Beaver Creek in Grayson County, and that Mr. Carpenter and Henry Wilson helped young Strong make his first crop in the spring of 1847 after his father's death in October, 1846. Strong further noted that en route to Texas 'we fell in with the Dickson, Chadwell, Chambers and William families, all going to join the Peters' colony just as we were.'

In THE HISTORY OF GRAYSON COUNTY, Mrs. W.H. Lucas and Mrs. H.E. Hall report that in the extreme western part of Grayson County, along Cross Timbers, six families from Missouri arrived the evening of November 24, 1845. Among them M.L Webster, Charles Wheelock, Myron Mudgit, widow Underwood, Frank Carpenter, Dr. Leaky, widow Middleton. They were later identified as among the earliest Cooke County citizens. [Note: per census records, W. R. Strong's wife E. was born in Missouri]

Strong relays details of the first social even of consequence, held at Fitzhugh's Fort 'and they danced the night through-July 4, 1847-commerating the 71st anniversary of the Declaration of Independence'. W. R. remembers visitors from Grayson, Collin and Denton counties attending. He remembers a similar festive event held in Grayson County on July 5, 1852.

Strong (and presumably his siblings) attended the school taught by Miss Jane Shannon of Grayson County. In 1847, she began teaching in the home of Mrs. Underwood (11 miles southeast of Gainesville). Strong also writes of circuit rider Isaac Walker of Grayson County.

According to the 1860 and 1870 census, he lived in Gainesville, Texas.

The Familysearch 1880 United States Census lists his family as follows:

(Research):Bill attended Oklahoma A&M at the same time his brother Charles was there. He served in the Army from 1957 to 1978. He was a Major, and in Military Intelligence. He was stationed in Germany for many years. After his retirement, he became a regional sales manager for Motor Manual.

Obituary

William "Bill" Robert Strong passed away on March 4, 2024. Bill was the second child of Homer Strong and Anna Laura Payne born in Duncan, Oklahoma on February 20, 1934. As the second son of seven children, he had four brothers and two sisters.

Bill gained a love of music and singing from his father who sang in a Barbershop quartet throughout his childhood. He received a scholarship in music to Oklahoma State University in 1953 and helped to create the singing group called The Four Chi's as a part of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. He met the love of his life Betty Wehunt on a blind date at the University. He was drafted into the Army after college in late 1957. During boot camp he married Betty in Colorado Springs on February 22, 1958. He spent 20 years in the Army and then had a 20-year career with Hearst Publishing. He enjoyed traveling, and both of his careers provided plenty of it. They lived in Europe several times and transferred to six different states while in the military. He also traveled all over the states for his job at Hearst while based in Oklahoma.

Bill was a class clown who loved one liners and corny "Dad jokes" which always made us laugh. He also had a lifelong love of dancing. No matter where we lived, he would find a restaurant with a dance floor and would dance with mom while the kids ate. He loved going out on a family vacation. While his children were young, they either went camping, boating, sailing or drove cross country to visit out-of-state relatives every summer. Later in life he and his wife would take 2 vacations a year traveling either to Europe or visiting their children across the nation. When Bill retired, he bought a home in Texas and spent his later years "snow birding" from Oklahoma to Texas with a few trips to see his children in the US or friends in England.

He was diagnosed with cancer over 10 years ago. His cancer resurfaced in 2019 and then again last year in 2023. The last reoccurrence eventually took his life after nearly a year of chemotherapy. Bill is survived by his brother Thomas Strong (wife Vicki) and his brother Paul David Strong; his son, Richard Strong; his son, John Strong (wife Kim and son Benjamin); his son, Stanley Strong (wife Ginger and daughters Kennedy, Brooklyn and Rayanna); his son, Gregory Strong (wife Cecille and son Maximillian).

The March 2000 SFAA Newsletter contains a brief article by Doug Strong (gnorts@erols.com) about the "Possible Huguenot Background of Chardstock Strongs." As a professor of church history, he discussed his suspicions with a local historian (H. Mary Parmiter) in Chardstock, England. It seems that the Strongs were likely Huguenot refugees who had earlier fled France due to religious persecution. The Huguenots, along with the Puritans, were both groups of Calvinistic Protestants who held very similar theological views. Thus, though not proven definitively, it appears that the Strongs were Huguenots who left France, became Puritans in England, and then left for New England--people who were compelled to flee two times for their faith. In support of this theory, Mary Parmiter wrote a letter to Doug Strong in which she noted that "The earliest spellings of "Strong" in our records are "Strang" or "Strange," so there seems little doubt it comes from "Stranger." [The old French word for foreign or alien is "estrange."] The Huguenot massacre of 1572 certainly triggered off the arrival here [Chardstock] of many refugees but, by their very wish to keep anonymity, detailed records are just about nonexistent.
