Notes:

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.
