The following is information was received from Martha Strong, March, 2000.
"I cannot prove the relationship between George Stronge and William Stronge yet but it really looks like they are brothers and that their father may be John Stronge. There is no doubt that they were related. The area of Chardstock/Chard held only a few Strongs.
"Emma Stronge's father was William Stronge and Margaret. We have definate proof of that along with her siblings. We also have her bp dates on her and her children.
"Here is what I believe is correct:
Robert Strange
