William Strong
b. circa 1771
- Father: Thomas Strong b. circa 1732, d. 30 December 1800
- Mother: Hannah Moxsy b. circa 1751, d. July 1882
- William Strong was born circa 1771.
- He was baptized/christened on 16 July 1771 in Stockleigh Pomeroy, Devon, England.
- He married Grace Pasmore on 24 April 1798 in Stockleigh Pomeroy, Devon, England.
- In his will signed 15 January 1820 in Baldwin County, Alabama, Thomas J. Strong names as heirs his minor daughter Hannah L. Strong, his wife Ann Strong and her daughterfrom an earlier marriage Ann Cunningham. Other heirs include "brothers and sisters," but he names only brothers Richard and William. Also named are daughters Maria and Emily of Susannah Day, who does not appear to have been his sister. He makes reference to the estate of his uncle John Moxsy, but it appears that this may have been his cousin John Moxsy, a son of his mother's sister Dorothy, who died in 1819. Executors were Harry Toulmin, Henry B. Slade and John S. Moxsy.
In a codicil dated 18 September 1820, Thomas J. Strong names James A. Torbert an executor in place of deceased John S. Moxsy.
Research Note: We have tentatively identified birth/baptism records for daughter Maria (but not Emily) of Susanna and Benjamin Day, who seem to fit into the picture in terms of time and place, but their relationship to Thomas J. Strong is not clear. Records tentatively have been identified for borthers William and Richard. Further research is required. - William Strong died.
- He was interred on 16 October 1834 at St. Mary the Virgin Churchyard, Stockleigh Pomeroy, Devon, England.
