      ....

      Russell, perhaps James F. Strong on the 1860 Census is Foster from the 1850 Census.  I've seen first and middle names reversed between two Census years a few times.  I know the ages are off as well, but I have seen that quite often too.

      ( RGS - This could explain why I have a James Frederick Strong b. abt 30 May 1835 in my file and have no idea where he came from, as I didn't have an 1860 census to compare the info to until now. I would come to the same conclusion as you. I would assume that somebody had assumed that his middle name was Frederick. As William Strong's son is James Frederick Strong. As far as the ages go I also noticed that James is listed as 23 instead of 25 and Martha is listed as 21 instead of 23. In 1880 Sarah listed her age as 79 when she was really 84. Don't know how the John age 29 arrived I have him in my record w/ two different birth years, 1817 & 1831. This is probably where the info came for the 1831 date. However, 1817 would fit for the 1830 & 1840 Census records for Samuel Strong in Armagh Co.  I have not found a listing for a John Strong age 19 in Mifflin Co. yet. Just the John Strong in Oliver Twp. b. 1817)
