This chapter owes a lot of its shape to the work of the late John R. Mayer, who was the world's foremost researcher of theStrange and LeStrange surnames until his untimely death March 31, 1998. For some insights re this sadly missed researcher, go to: John R. Mayer Memorial Web Page The page also contains references and assistance in obtaining access to his work.

Certain Latin translations set out here, right or wrong, were the inventions of John R. Mayer, "but they are nonetheless based upon documentary and literary precedents".

As John R. Mayer put it, "anyone wishing to suggest additions to the list, or to suggest particular styles in English, French, or Latin, is welcome to share ideas on the subject of naming families and building an outline of cognate families"...

"Fellow researchers, I would encourage you to use and further develop this listing of families, because family names can become a convenient, expedient means for speaking of large lineages and segments, such as phratries, moieties, septs, and clans. A list such as this at least provides everyone with some foundation for discussing cognate names"...

"Straughn, Straughn, Strahan, Strawn, and Strachan have a distinctly different etymology, and do not seem to be related or associated with the families listed above. (John R. Mayer) had never heard before of the names Straffen, Straffon, and Straffan," ... until joining the STRONG-List. (See the Strong Quest - including the STRONG-List Home Page.)

Abbreviated references, thus: "Extraneus", will be made in the text below to certain manuscripts and publications by John R. Mayer, described in part as follows:
The Annals Quinquepartite of Strange Lives. A Social and Literary Chronicle of the Families Extraneus and le Strange of Knockyn, with Essays on Alienage, Lineage, and Peregrinity in the Western World, by John R. Mayer. ((c) 1986, 1989, 1992, 1993, 1995, 1997 by John R. Mayer). This major work in progress was organized by John R. Mayer into five volumes as follows: Volume I: Le Strange of Britain and Aquitaine Volume II: Le Strange of Anglia and Eire Volume III: Strange of Balcaskie and the Alloway Strange Volume IV: Strange Virginians Peregrine Volume V: Strange Compendia

For a detailed listing of the Volume, Book, and Chapter Headings, see: Appendix - Outline of Extraneus, by John R. Mayer Note that "Extraneus" is the Latin word for "Strange", and according to John R. Mayer was used in the period 1000-1500 in many records concerning members of the leStrange family which were entered by Roman Catholic monks writing in monastic settings.

These Volumes have been printed in various parts and are available as follows:

First edition, San Francisco: Beaux-Arts Press, 1986 (single tome).

Second edition, San Francisco: Arapacana Press, 1992-1996 (Twelve Books were contemplated, either in manuscript or printed, including, inter alia,

	Note: I have, at long last, tied my lonely seafaring James Strang into the family of the above referenced Jean D'Estreng!! Here's how the direct lineage goes... [Reference Note: Most of the following information comes from "The Strangs of Westchester" written by Charles Alfred Strange - an amazingly detailed and thorough work which may prove useful to others researching these lines.] NOTE ABOUT SURNAME SPELLINGS: It has been remarked that "the variations that certain Frenchmen of the seventeenth century enjoyed in the spelling of their surnames. In the Paris documents concerning them, Daniel and his brother Jacques indulged in this caprice, the name being signed or appearing variously as String, Streng, Streing, Straing, Strain, and even Estrain and Estrang. In America however, Daniel's numerous surviving signatures are all written Streing, Although his wife's signature on her will is clearly Strieng. Daniel's sons spelled the name as both Streing and Straing. The thrid generation, as of the 1740s, agreed upon Strang, and, with few exceptions - such as that of the writer's (Charles Alfred Strange) family - it has been Strang ever since." 1. Jean D'Estreng b. abt 1598 2. Henry D'Estreng b. abt 1620- d. aft 1680; m. Marie BABAULT 3. Daniel Streing b. between 1654-1656 - d. 1707, Rye,Weschester,New York; m. Charlotte Le MAISTRE abt 03 Aug 1680; These are the immigrant ancestors having feld France for London and the New York as Huguenots. 4. Daniel Streing b. abt 1692 prob. in New Rochelle, New York- d. 1741 in either White Plains or Cortlandt, NY; m. Phebe PURDY 5. Daniel Strang b. abt 1715 in Rye, Westchester Co., New York- d. 25 Sep 1792 in Rye; m. Elizabeth GALPIN prob in the early 1740s 6. Gabriel Strang b. 1754-55 at the family farm on the Connecticut line at Port Chester, New York or in Cortlandt.- d. Bef 25 May 1826 (the date of the funeral) in Portland Parish, St. John Co., New Brunswick, Canada; m. Siscely DAVIDSON 7. Capt James Strang born in 1804 in St. John, St. John Co., New Brunswick, Canada.Died, Waweig (Charlotte Co.), 29 Nov 1870, Capt. James Strang, for many years one of the leading shipmasters out of the Port of St. John (Standard, 7 Dec 1870). It would appear that my James Strang was the youngest of 4 children. Dick Strang contacted me and said "My family bible was started in 1830 by Gabriel Strang b.5th July 1797  d. 1868 both at St John, NewBrunswick - the second of 4 children.  Number four, James Strang, b. 9 Sept 1804..." James Strang is my 4x grt grandfather who I have been searching for since October 1996. I still have some further work to putting together the full story on his family. He appears to have had two wives, m. 1st Jane Connick d/o Samuel; There were children from this union that I still need to uncover. From Daniel F. Johnson's VITAL STATISTICS FROM NEW BRUNSWICK NEWSPAPERS we find: MARRIED Wednesday, Waweig (Charlotte Co.), by Rev. Dr. Thompson, Capt. James Strang, Saint John/Jane, d/o Samuel Connick (New Brunswick Courier 18 Feb 1832)  This reference also lists a number of children dying and I suspect that Jane also died and that he remarried ca 1835/36. m. 2nd Margaret abt 1835-36; From census information, it appears that John Fielden (my 3x grt grandpa) and his sister Sarah were the only two children of this union. James Strang (written as Strong in some records) was a master mariner who sailed out of Liverpool, UK. He sailed the ship JOHN FIELDEN from 1847-1855. In 1848, during a tour on the cotton triangle route, his son, John Fielden Strang, was born in Charleston, South Carolina on 08 May 1848. John's mother appears to be Margaret Sarah. The 1851 census for St. Andrews Parish, Charlotte Co., NB shows at p. 93: James Strang, 50, b. NB, husband, mariner; Margaret, 40, b. NB, wife; Sarah 14, daughter; John 5, son; Daniel Sullivan, 32, Irish, hired man, laborer.  I had previously identified Sarah as a sister of my John and Margaret is listed on John's death registration as the mother's name. John Fielden Strang is known to have had an older sister, Sarah Strang who was born in Liverpool, UK in February 1837. Sarah married Jeremiah Rogers (one of the first lumbermen in British Columbia), in New Brunswick in 1863. There are also photographic indications that John had a brother closer in age to himself, although no names have been identified. 8. John Fielden Strang grew up on and around ships, so it is no wonder that he choose ship building for his first occupation. He married Helen Margaret Carlow in St. Andrews, New Brunswick on Wednesday, August 23, 1872. Not long after (or was it before? - the records conflict) they produced my great great grandmother, Amanda Gertrude Strang. The Strang and Carlow families removed from New Brunswick to British Columbia over a period of a few years. John and Helen Strang lived first in Gastown (now a part of Vancouver, B.C.) before settling in New Westminster, BC in 1876. So, there you have it... I now have a STRANG past!!

	Henry Strongman, one of the first settlers of Dublin, New Hampshire> William Strong(man) of North Hero, Grand Isle, Vermont From Rootsweb Strong-List email from Judy Mott Strong: "(while researching my MOTT family in Grand Isle Co, VT... I discovered some interesting info on William STRONG of North Hero): William Strong died in North Hero on Mar 30, 1836. He served in the Rev War in Capt Joseph Parker's Company in July 1776 to reinforce Ticonderoga. It was in reading his Rev War Pension files that I gathered the following information: William was born in Colerain, MA on Sept 26, 1749. He had no records to prove his birth. He served in Rev War in the NH Line. His father was one of the first settlers of Dublin, Cheshire Co, NH. William had at least one brother named Richard. William married Mary Caldwell in 1773 in Dublin, NH. Mary Caldwell died in the Fall of 1789. The location is not stated. William lived in North Hero, VT since about 1792, and had three surviving children: Jeanette Strong Brownson of North Hero, VT in 1832. David Strong of North Hero, VT in 1832 and of Platttsburg, Clinton Co, NY by Feb 1848. Mary (Polly) Strong Payne of Arcadia, Wayne Co, NY (living with her son in 1848). Besides living in NH, during his life William lived in MA, Cambridge, NY, Hebron, NY and North Hero, VT. William's brother Richard has a son also named Richard. Richard II gave testimony about his uncle for the Revolutionary War pension application. William had a very difficult time getting the pension granted. No record could be found of his serving in the Rev War. Then the nephew Richard finally realized why! IN ABOUT NOV 1789 THE WHOLE FAMILY DECIDED TO CHANGE THEIR NAME TO STRONG FROM STRONGMAN. William served in the war under the name William STRONGMAN. His father was Henry STRONGMAN, one of the first settlers of Dublin, NH. After correspondence with the Town Clerk of Dublin, it was confirmed that William enlisted and served under that name and that he did later move to North Hero, VT. Only after this 1847/48 information was compiled was the pension granted. William had died 12 years earlier and the funds were shared among his three children. This is NOT my family. I hope that this information may be useful to some Strong researcher. I did not copy the pension file, but would be more than glad to do so for anyone who has an interest. It is not very clear to read." Researcher: Email:Judy Mott Strong, Orange, CA

PART III - VARIOUS STRONG(E)/STRANG(E) FAMILIES OF IRELAND Note that due to the unfortunate state of Irish records following the Four Courts Fire of 1922, many of the following families have been difficult to place in the above grouping of English and Scottish Families Strang/Strong. However, it is almost certain that they are indeed of either English or Scots descent. Note that wherever possible, certain families known to be found in Ireland have been geographically placed above with the family grouping in England or Scotland from which they are believed to be descended; see particularly, the Scottish Strongs of County Antrim, and English Strongs of Dublin, Wicklow, and Waterford; and the L'Estranges of Counties Offally (Kings), Meath, and Westmeath .

III (B) Counties CAVAN, LONGFORD and MONAGHAN, Ireland: STRONGS. See also Counties SLIGO and MAYO.	Note: because of geographical proximity of the parishes displaying concentrations of Strong Families in each of these three counties, they have been grouped together. It is possible the families in the three counties are related. Further, Philip B. Strong, of Belfast, Northern Ireland, who is descended from the Sligo Strongs has documented that the Strongs of Co. Mayo are part of the Strongs of Co. Sligo (resulting in part from a border change between the two counties); in turn, Philip hypothecizes that the Sligo-Mayo Strongs are in fact an off-shoot of the Strongs of Co. Cavan.

	...DRIMHORY & BALLYBULGAN Townlands, Drumhome Parish, Co.Donegal> Hugh Strong, possibly b. 21/3/1830, Drimhory Townland, Drumholm Parish, Co. Donegal, Ireland, migrated with brother, William Strong, and cousin Robert Strong to Canada in the early 1850's.  Hugh Strong's descendants included Earl Strong of Hilton and later Toronto, ON; father of researcher Tom Strong Researchers, Email: Tom Strong, Brisbane, Australia Michael J. Strong, Oakville, Ontario David B. Strong Elizabeth (Strong) Fenix, married to Thomas Fenix. I believe they lived in Ireland. Their daughter Judith married my ggggrandfather Andrew Cassidy and died in Dundee Scotland in 1857 at the age of 69. Andrew Cassidy was originally from Ireland as well... with he and Judith both having gone from Ireland to Scotland... possible clue is an entry in Dale G. Strong's book, "The Descendants of John Strong and Martha Watson of Drumhome Parish, Co. Donegal, Ireland", at p.45, where is listed under Marriages performed in the Church of Ireland Parish of Drumhome, "20 September 1821: (Marriage of) William Strong, Ballybulgan (Townland) to Jane Cassidy, Mullinasoll (Townland)". Both townlands are in Drumhome Parish. It was often a practice for young workers to travel from Ireland to England and Scotland to work for a time (with the intention of returning to Ireland)... and it is quite possible Judith Fenix might have known Andrew Cassidy in Ireland before traveling to Scotland; further that after marrying, they stayed in Scotland. Regarding the name Heron: since the Cassidys originally came from Fermanagh and the symbol of the round tower on the Belleek mark is the one on Devenish Island in Lough Erne, Co. Fermanagh, where many 17th c. Cassidys are buried, I collect Belleek. I became friendly with an ex-manager of the Belleek factory named Séamus Heron who lives in the village of Belleek and has his own ceramics factory called Heron Ceramics. As you probably know, the border of N. Ireland and the South of Ireland (Donegal/Fermanagh) runs through the village of Belleek (which is why it was known as "bandit country" in the days when the IRA was running around).

	John, Michael and William Strong, brothers "from Cork", were involved in the Emmet rebellion in 1798 in  Ireland.> Escaped to Philadelphia, PA 1799 > Michael and William separated from John, disappeared; John to Cumberland County, KY > John Strong had three children:  I.  Rev. William Hardin Strong.  II. Prince Alfred Strong.  III.  Jane Strong For a discussion, see: Strong of Cork Reference: Benjamin Dwight's 1871 genealogy of the descendants of John Strong, 1635 immigrant to Massachusetts. This info appears in an appendix about John Strong of Cumberland County, Kentucky.  The article entitled "John Strong of Albany, KY" is found on Pages 1534-1535.  Quoted is the first paragraph about John, together with certain updated information about his three children. "John, Michael and William Strong, brothers, were involved in the Emmet rebellion in 1798 in  Ireland.  When that collapsed the three brothers escaped secretly and landed in 1799, in Philadelphia, and after tarrying in that city for a few months they separated from each other, and John Strong never afterwards heard either from them or of them.  He located at last in Cumberland, Clinton Co., Ky. [sic], on a farm near what is now Albany.  In 1808, he married Elizabeth Williams.  He died in 1820, and she married a second husband (name not given) who was living in 1868 in Woodson, Illinois.  He had three children:  I.  Rev. William Hardin Strong.  II. Prince Alfred Strong.  III.  Jane Strong." I.  Rev. William Hardin Strong.  Born 26 AUG 1809.  Campellite [Disciples of Christ] preacher.  Married 1832, Josephine Dawson of Danville, Kentucky.  Resided in Winchester, Illinois; Morgan County, Illinois; and Girard, Illinois.   Apparently living in 1871 when Dwight published his genealogy.  10 children named. II.  Prince Alfred Strong.  Born 1811, Cumberland, KY; died 18?? in Spokane, WA.  Married Frances Renfro at Lexington, Kentucky in 1838.  Relocated to Illinois in 1838 and subsequently to California via the Isthmus of Panama and vessel "Nevada" to San Francisco, arriving June 17,1867.   Migrated in 1879 to Five Mile Prairie, near Spokane, WA in 1879.  Had nine children: Martha Francis, Martha Ann, Mary Elizabeth, Mary B., Prince Jerome, Laura, William Alfred, Prince William Jerome, and John Franklin Strong (the last being the ancestor of researcher Judy Shinn Kunz below). III.  Jane Strong married Harvey Burnett of Lancaster, Kentucky.  Moved to Alton, Illinois in 1842.  She died there in 1848 or 1849.  Seven children named. Note(1) Thomas Addis Emmet (1764-1827): born in Cork; educated at Trinity College, Dublin... called to the Irish Bar, 1790; arrested, 1798 (during the "Rising of 98", when widespread rebellion broke out in Ireland in coordination with an abortive French invasion); exiled, 1799; attempted to interest Napoleon in a renewed invasion of Ireland, 1802; sailed for New York, 1804... (from a foot note at page 265, "Modern Ireland, 1600-1972", by R.F. Foster) Note (2): It appears that Clinton County was probably formed out of Cumberland County after 1820.  Albany in 1871 was in Clinton County and still is.  Albany is near the Tennessee State line, north of Overton Co., TN.  Clinton County, KY, is east of Monroe and Cumberland Counties, KY.  Note (3): The validity of the story about the three immigrant brothers cannot at this point be verified, but there may be passenger lists or other records that will verify the story.  Dwight did not cite his sources. Note (4): It is possible the "massacre" mentioned in this story refers to the efforts made by Lord Londonderry to suppress the rebellion in the area of Co's Down and Antrim. If so, the three immigrant brothers may have been from that area, and merely escaped through Queenstown, Co. Cork. Researcher: Email: Judy Shinn Kunz, Beaverton, Oregon.

	Lydia LaStrange b County Cork, Ireland. m David L. Brigham . One child, George David Brigham b 1867 in Holly Springs, Mississippi, USA. Lydia died when George was an infant. George moved to Forest City, Arkansas, when he was about 3, then to Johnson County Ark. At some time David L. Brigham married  Louisa Looney.  This information was given to me by my grandfather, George David, in the 1940's. Years later, one of George's daughters said that Lydia was 15 when she married. If her child was born within two years--1867--then she would have been born around 1850. But the information about her age conflicts with something else my grandfather told me--that his mother was a nurse during the Union Army and his father was a Confederate soldier and they met during the Civil War. I know his father was a Confederate soldier because he is in a group photo that hangs in the Clarksville Ark. courthouse. But Lydia LaStrange remains a mystery.
