[STRONG] DNA STUDY
Hi
Everyone,
About a
year ago I found my husband's great great
grandfather, Clifton L
Strong, in
census
records for other Strongs in
found.
1840
Census: Thomas Strong
1850
Census: Thomas comes alive with the
following family
Thomas Strong 57 M Farmer
Peggy 56 F
Elvira 22 F
Lally 21 F
Ailsey 17 F
Catherine 13 F
1860
Census:
Thomas Strong 67 M Constable
Margaret 66 F
Ailsey 25 F
1870 Census:
Strong, Margaret 76 F W Keeping Home
1860
Census: William Strong 40 M Laborer
S Ann 48 F
Lucy Perdue 16 F
Wm A Ellit 7 M
B
1870
Census: Strong, William 50 M W Farmer
Susan A 60 F W
Keeping Home
1850
Census:
Martha A 26 F
Oden
C 5 M
Zacheriah
L 4 M
1870
Census: Strong, Clay 25 M W
Works on Farm
(Oden
C)
Thomas
Strong is 57 in 1850 born 1793 or 1792
William
Strong is 30 in
1850 born 1820 or 1819
Clifton L
Strong is 28 in 1850
born 1822 or 1821
I wonder if
this could be a father and
his two sons.
Through the
DNA study there was a match
showing that the late Robert T
Strong, Jr and my husband, Robert M Strong, had a common ancestor.
I
went back
through some of Robert T Strong's
writings and in an e-mail
dated
September 5, 1998 he mentions a "
04. John Strong followed his
brother, 05. William Strong to
Then in an
e-mail dated September 7, 1998 he mentions a "William Strong
of
authorized".
Obviously,
I am trying to find the connection to Robert T Strong, Jr's
ancestors.
I would appreciate any help that anyone can provide.
Sincerely,
Sharon Lafferty Strong

my husband … died three years ago. I do have four sons if anyone feels the need
for further testing.

After looking up information on the Strong family, this is what I have:
My husband, [the participant in Kit #6809] was born in MD in 1930
His father, Woodrow F Strong, was born in Floyd County, VA in 1910
(original name was Robert, he changed it to Woodrow)
His father, Robert F Strong, was born in 1888 in Floyd County, VA
His father, O C Strong, (Clay Strong) was born in Campbell County, VA
I say Campbell County because on the 1850 census it
shows an Oden C who is five years old living with his
family.
His father, Clifton L Strong, was born in VA
On the 1850 census it shows Clifton L Strong age 28
living with his wife, Martha and their two sons, Oden
C age 5 and Zacheriah L age 4. The county is
Also, in 1850 in
The 1870 census for
The proof that Clay is Oden C is on the 1900 census
for Floyd County, VA showing an Oden F born in 1891 to Clay and Mary Strong. Clay died
September 7 1891 of a stroke.
When I first went on the Strong Subscriber List Robert T Strong was a
moderator. He was wonderful. I think in his genealogy his family was very briefly
in
In 1860 Thomas is 67 and he and his family live in the Western District of
Campbell County, He is now a constable.
On the 1860 census for the Western District in Campbell County William Strong
is a laborer age 40
On the 1870 census William Strong is 50 years old and
a farmer. The town/township is The Western District and the P.O. is
I hope this helps. Please keep in touch and let me know what you make of all
this,
Sharon Strong

Note: In April, 2011, Kit #134073
surnamed ‘Dickerson’, joined the Strong Y-DNA Project, with a match of 35 out
of 37 markers. On inquiry, the following
message was received from the researcher, Linda Reneau:

Dear Dave.
….
I have been working on my genealogy for several years, and
have everything proven thru My ggggrandfather.
He was Leonard Dickerson, Sr. he was born
approx. 1766. He married Marjoy Rentfro in June, 1787. In
Any help you can give us would be wonderful, as I am at
wit's end trying
to find out who His parents were.
Thanks so much, Linda

On
review of the above letter and the information previously received from Sharon
Strong, it appeared there were some points of possible contact between the
Dickenson and Strong families in
As a
result, an order to upgrade Kit #6809 from 25 to 37 markers was entered with
FTDNA, as well as an order for “Deep Clade SNP”
testing. Unfortunately, it
subsequently developed that there was insufficient Y-DNA material remaining
from the original sample submitted to FTDNA by the participant. We were unable to obtain results for the
26-37 STR Panel of markers, although we have learned enough about his SNP
results to know that he is now classed as being in Haplogroup R1b1a2a1a1b; we are lacking only results for SNP U152 to
know whether he is an exact match for Kit #5834 in Haplogroup
R1b1a2a1a1b3. Participant #6809 having died, it was
decided to test one of his sons, who is now the
participant in Kit #213219.
Now, it
appears the Dickerson kit, #134073, matches the Southern Strong STR Haplotype with exceptions at DYS439 [11 vice 12], and
DYS389-2 [30 vice 29]. The results in
Kit’s #6809 and #213219 match each other on the first 25 markers, with a DYS390
mutation from 24 to 25 occuring in just these two
kits in the Southern Strong group. Kit
#213219 matches the Southern Strong STR Haplotype on
markers 26 through 37. We may infer
that if we had results from Kit #6809 for the later panel, they would also
match the Southern Strong STR Haplotype. What is rather interesting is that kits
#6809, 213219, and 134073 each have the DYS389-2=30 result.
One hypothesis
is that the progenitor ancestor of all the Southern Strong kits and the
Dickenson kit may have shared DYS389-2=29, with a mutation to 30 occuring at some point prior to the DYS439 mutation
from 12 to 11 in the case of the Dickenson kit #134073, and the DYS390 mutation
from 24 to 25 in the case of the father/son kits #6809 and #213219 occuring after the speculated non-parental event
involving the Dickenson lineage.
At the
present date, 28 July 2012, I suggest the researchers in Kits #213219 and
134073 order SNP U152. This can be done
by clicking on the HaploTree page tab in the
respective FTDNA Participant Kits, and specifically ordering U152 at a price of
$29.00 following the order procedure set out on that page. A positive result from this test will close
the loop tying the three kits to the Southern Strong group from a DNA
perspective. It will then remain for
the respective researchers to explore the documentary evidence for a possible
non-parental event tying the lineages together.
