Charles Strong

Notes:

Charles was not listed on the 1860 census, although he was shown as age 11 in 1870. He most likely was born shortly after the 1860 census was taken, or simply missed by the enumerator. He is mentioned by name in the 1894 probate records of Leanora Strong's estate, and also in the obituary of his sister Alice in 1912, so he was alive until at least that date. In Alice's obituary, he was shown as of Dorset, Ohio.

There is a 20 year old Charles Strong, born in Ohio with parents born in NY and OH, working as a single Farm Laborer in the home of David FRANCIS in Piermont, Ashtabula, OH at the time of the 1880 Federal Census. There was NOT a Charles Strong in Ashtabula in the index for the 1870 index, ten years earlier, so it is possible, so this is likely his listing in 1880. He was not found in the census indexes for 1900 or thereafter, however.

There was a Charles Strong, born in Ohio ca. 1858 that was living in or around Champaign County, Illinois from 1880 through his death in 1930. That Charles Strong, however is not David B. Strong's son. His death certificate shows that he was born in Toledo, Ohio and that his father was Frederick Silas Strong.
