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.

She applied for a Social Security Account on December 1, 1936. At the time, her address was 388 1/2 South Ohio Avenue, Columbus, Ohio. She was employed by Henderson, Burr, Randall & Porter at 33 North High Street, also in Columbus. She listed her name as Virginia Strong Shanks, her date of birth as January 4, 1908 in Cleveland, Ohio, and her parents as Ralph William Strong and Weltha Adelaide French.
"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).
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
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.

He stated he was born on December 20, 1922 in Cleveland, Ohio. He applied for a Social Security number on May 10, 1939, and at that time his address was 3060 Woodbury Road in Shaker Heights. His employer was the Cleveland Shipping News on 5309 Hamilton Avenue, Cleveland.
Buried with his great-grandparents, Lemuel Strong and Sarah Schram. Billie was the son of Harry Strong and Gertrude Clark. Harry was the son of Lemuel and Sarah (Schram) Strong's son, Ralph William Strong.
He was still living at home in 1900. I could not located him in 1910 or 1920. There was a William K. Strong. born ca 1880, in Cuyahoga County in both 1910 and 1920, but they appear to be different individuals. William K Strong reported his father born in Canada at the time of the 1920 census.
The informant for the death certificate of Frank Strong, who died in 1931, was W.A. Strong of Painesville, Ohio. The census record below would therefore appear to be for the correct family.

W.M. STRONG and his wife Mary JOHNSON were married in Hunt County on 7 Aug 1899, some twenty years after Ralph STRONG and Mary Ella HALL were married there. They are not related.
Russell Laird sent me an emailed that:
" William Melvin "Mack" Strong and Mary Susan "Mollie" Johnson are my great grandparents and lived in Wolfe City for a long, long time. Mack is of the Virginia Strongs and his family migration from late 1600s on is VA>NC>TN>MO>KS>TX. Mack wasn't, to my knowledge, related to any of the Strongs in the area earlier. More detail at: www.geocities.com/rll.geo

Vol II
Strong, Mollie 1878--NEITHER ARE RELATED, See email from Russell Laird below Strong, W.M. (Mc) 1868--Also, their marriage record is listed above, dated 7 Aug 1899
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.

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).

It appears that George Strong, a Tailor, originally resided in Chardstock, Dorset, later moving about five miles north to Chard, Somerset. Dorset and Somerset are both maritime counties in the southwest of England. According to Peskett, Chardstock was in Dorset until transferred to the county of Devon in 1896, but remains in the Diocese of Salisbury.

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.

A tailor. Married to Joanna BAGGE. They had five daughters: Maria, Elizabeth, Lavinia, Jane and Sarah, and one son, the Rev. James Strong.
Rev. John Pitt, Vicar of Chardstock (1627-1645), Warden of Wadham College, Oxford befriended James Stronge 'a poor tailor of Chardstock who wrought for a groat a day, his pottage and bread and cheese". Rev. Pitt sent him to New Inn College, Oxford. In 1645, James returned to Chardstock and turned his mentor out of the vicarage and carried off his books and goods to his own living.
His gravesite, photo shown at FindAGrave, has a military marker, which is embossed with a cross, and the following: Michael J Stropkai, Alaska, PFC US Army, World War II, Mar 13 1914 - Sept 27, 1972. He is buried near his son, Scotty. His wife, Tin, was cremated in accordance with her wishes.
His listing on the Social Security Death Index has the same dates of birth and death. His account was shown as established in Idaho. A Michael J. Stropkai, born 1914, and a native of West Virginia enlisted at Fort Hayes Columbus, as a resident of Belmont County, Ohio. He was a graduate of grammar school, his civil occupation was that of miner/mining machine operator, and he was 5'10' tall, weighing 150 pounds. The 1920 Federal Census shows a Mike Stropsky, born in West Virginia, and living in Colerain, Belmont, Ohio. He was the youngest son of Mike and Anna Stropsky, both born in Slovakia. Mike Stropsky Sr. was working as a coal miner. His daughter, Michael, emailed that after her father moved to Alaska, he worked as a clerk for the Alaska Railroad for more than 30 years.

Might he have married a Lula, and been the father of Helen Margaret Stroud McCauley (1922-2018) whose obituary was in the April 11, 2018 Sabine County Reporter?
Shirley Brasher notes that she was a daughter of James C. Stroud and Matilda Georgia Salter. She is linked to them on her FindAGrave memorial page as well. Also linked to five siblings, T.J,, Richard, Enoch, George and John.
The Stroud family of South Carolina was closely associated with the Bird Wall and Drury Wall family of South Carolina. Many members of this family either moved together from Tennessee and then to Louisiana, some settling in Tennessee and others in Sabine Parish. The name Bird Wall has been seen several times in Parish records in one form or another, but the identity of Nancy's first husband is not known. She married 2) John Morris (Casagranda, 1850 Census, 82).
Joseph Turner Montgomery, Lavinia Montgomery, and Nancy Morris all have their names on a bronze plaque beside the door of the Zion Hill Baptist Church in Negreet which states, "On the third Sunday in December, Anno Domino, 1826, Zion Hill Church was constituted by the following Presbytery to wit: William Cook and James Martin."

Joann Mary Cecilia (Suda) Havel was born on February 9, 1951 to Helen and Anton Suda, and grew up on the family farm between Tobias and Milligan, Nebraska. She received her education in the Milligan Public School system, graduating in 1969. Joann received an Associate's Business Degree from the Lincoln School of Commerce and worked at the University of Nebraska, Department of Forestry.
On January 5, 1974 she married Sherman Ray Havel and they were blessed with four wonderful sons. Joann was not only a busy full-time mom, but also operated an in-home day care for several years. As the boys grew older Joann became more involved in the family farm operation. The harvest season was one of her favorite times on the farm as she enjoyed driving the grain truck so that Sherm could continue combining. As a farming partner Joann was also the chief bookkeeper for the farm operation. Joann also worked at the Weaver Pharmacy in Geneva as a Pharmacy Tech for 15 years.
Joann was a member of the St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church for her entire life. She taught religion class for over 20 years and was a member of the Altar Society. The Easter Season was special to her, as it was her task to make sure all the lilies were perfectly placed for the Easter Services. Her faith was very important to her and in the teaching of faith to her children. She was told by her children the greatest gift she gave them was their "faith". Also, her love for her six grand children was so very special and everlasting. Family, Faith and Friends were her top priorities. Joann continued touching many, many lives in her final days because of her unending smile, kindness, gentleness and generosity to all around her.
Joann was preceded in death by her parents Anton and Helen. Joann will be dearly missed by her family; husband Sherman, four sons Paul (Amy, children Zoey, Hayden, Chloe), Dean, Jeff and Steve (Ashley, children Kora, Laney, Mack). Sisters Bonnie and Betty and brother James and families, along with many extended family and friends.
Joann began each day with her favorite bible verse:
Marie Suda came to this country with her parents in 1868...(her) first home in America was Chicago, where the family remained until 1871. Leaving Chicago after the great fire, her parents, Frantisek and Karolina Klokanova Suda, homesteaded in Section 2 of Glengary Township.
Place of birth sometimes shown as Berdekov u Blatne Pisek, Bohemia.
Rose taught in the rural school system for nine years, worked in the Milligan Post Office for three years, and has been employed with the Nebraska Public Power District since 1942. (Milligan, p 352).
