William STRONG

- Christened: 5 Jan 1701, St. Peter's, New Kent, Virginia
- Died: After 25 Jul 1770, Pittsylvania, Virginia
General Notes:
It would also be impossible for his grandfather William Strong to come to America on the Mayflower. First, if his grandfather did come across on the Mayflower, it would have meant that his alleged grandfather, William Strong, would have been well over 100 years old before fathering his son, Thomas Strong (a2d4). Secondly, no Strongs are listed on the Mayflower and in fact were already in America by the time the ship first landed in the new world on November 21, 1620. Mr. Rolff speculates that Dr. Strong confused the name of his grandfather and great grandfather and that he could have been told as a boy that the first Strong's came to America in 1619, before the Mayflower. Another problem is that no records exist nor is there any mention of a Phillip Strong, alleged brother of William Strong. Mr. Rollf believes that Dr. H.F. Strong was referring to William and Phillip Sherwood who held offices under the King. In Mr. Rollf's book he refers to the Sherwood family as being intermarried with the early Strong Families.
William married Cape. (Cape was born in 1701 in New Kent, Virginia.)
