• Notes

  Parentage unknown. No immigration records. Burial unknown. Could have arrived by way of Canada. Son Thomas G. reports that his father Thomas was born in Wales in the 1920 and 1930 census presumably after the father's death. Thomas, the father, always reported his birth in England. In one census, year of immigration is 1857, in another it is 1862. There were very few Strongs in Wales in the 1840's and 1850's but many in England. No death record found, but could contain the names of his parents which could lead to identifying the family in England. He was last listed in the Detroit city directory in 1812 living with his son Thomas G. The middle name of his first born son is "St. John" which could refer to St. John the Evangelist which is also a parish in Westminster, Middlesex, England or could have used the name for other reasons.
