      Russell,
      . . . .  . . .
      I have been nosing around in the PA Strong's, Wenricks,Knepps, and Breons again.  I feel pretty comfortablethat there were indeed two Strong Families in MifflinCounty beginning about 1820.  Which one came first isanyone's guess.
      The first Samuel appears in 1815 in Derry Township as afreeman.   He continues there with his familyuntil the second family appears.
      The strange thing is that both were named Samuel and bothhad a son William born about the same time.   OneSamuel had wife named Eunice and the other Sarah.
      Ours is definitely the one with the wife named Sarah. By reconstructing the early records we can place most ofthe Strong's into one family or the other.  BothSamuel's apparently died about the same time in the 1820's(sic. not if there were census records up until 1840 forour Samuel. - RGS) The widow's remained there living withone of their children until their deaths.
      I am planning to sort this all out and as soon as I get atime line together will share it with you.

      Karen__________________________________________________________________________ _
      Possible parentage from:
      Since 2003 two of Samuel's descendants through his sonWilliam Adelbert, have participated in a DNA Study of theSTRONG Surname at FamilyTreeDNAhttp://www.FamilyTreeDNA.com . The results of these testscan be viewed athttp://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~donegalstrongs/dnaresults.htmThey are Kit #8880(a descendant of James FrederickStrong)  & Kit #16001(a descendant of Levi Strong)
      The results show that Samuel Strong is of Scot/Irishdescent and is most likely descended from a James StrongAKA Schim Strang of York Co., PA

      ......
      >> 1)   York County, PennsylvaniaStrongs:   For many years there has been on-goingdiscussion amongst many researchers concerning the originsof the lineage known as the "York County, PennsylvaniaStrongs". descendants of one James "Schim" Strong orStrang.   James Strong is said by some to havecome from Ireland; see the discussion athttp://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~donegalstrongs/irplaces.htm#YorkEmmett Bratt suggests that  James Strong  is"belived to have landed on the ship Hampshire and settledinto York Cty, PA in 1752"; see:http://geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/9881/jstrong/jstrong.htm  It has been suggested by others that he came fromGermany.   The fact that he married into a"Pennsylvania Dutch" family when he married the daughter ofhis employer, that his family were raised speaking German,and that  his Last Will and Testament was written inGerman, led many to conclude that he was in factGerman.   No one has been able to trace hisancestry beyond establishing his date of birth, 2 February1727.
      >
      >> Through the cooperation of two DNA project participants,Kits #17527 and #17528,  from amongst the descendantsof one of James Strong's grandsons, Jacob Strong, we nowhave DNA evidence which tends to support the hypothesisthat he was either from Scotland, or possible ofScots-Irish descent and from Ulster.   Ourparticipants are members of The Jacob Strong FamilyOrganization, of Salt Lake City, Utah.   The descendancy of members of this family from Jacob Strongis well documented, as is Jacob Strong's identity as agrandson of James Strong of York Co., Pennsylvania.
      >
      >
      >> While we do not have complete 25 marker results for Kit#17528 as yet, the haplotype results for Kits #17527 and#17528 so far closely match the "Assumed Strange ofBalcaskie Haplotype".   This Assumed Haplotype isinferred from study of the DYS marker values accumulatedfrom Kits #8881, 6680, 16001, and the addition of theselatest kits.   I expect the PP3 portion of theKit#17528 results will match those for Kit #17527.
      >..... Intriguingly, one might speculate that the Samuel Strongline of Mifflin County, Pennsylvania may be descended fromJames Strong of York County,Pennsylvania.    The close match of the DNAresults, taken together with the fact that James Strong hadseveral children, each of whom had descendants, not all ofwhom appear to have been completely and accurately tracedthrough the records from his November 2, 1763 marriage toMaria Imenheiser  forward; that Samuel Strong'sancestry  has not been traced further back in timethan his approximate date of birth circa 1790-1794; and further with the geographical proximity of the point oforigin of the two lines in Pennsylvania, suggest thatfurther documentary research may result in finding arelationship.

      Since the date of this email the 25 marker results of#17527 and #17528 match those of #6680 (Samuel'sdescendant) 25-25 which means that there is a 99.9%likelihood that Samuel is descended from James Strong. Kit#16001 matched 23-25
