BiographyJohn Strong was born on November 26, 1798,{{sfn|Moore|1915|p=742}} in Wroxton, Oxfordshire, England.[1] He studied for the ministry, but did not find it to his liking. After his father's death, he emigrated to the United States,{{sfn|Moore|1915|p=742}} arriving in the early 1820s, likely in 1825. He settled in Greenfield Township, Michigan, by 1826, after a year spent living near Chatham, Ontario.[2] He was a farmer,{{sfn|Bingham|1888|p=619}} and as one of the few educated men in the area, he assisted the Native American and French residents with business and legal matters, and he also sold many small tracts of land to incoming German colonists.{{sfn|Moore|1915|p=742}} Strong was a Democrat,{{sfn|Moore|1915|p=742}} and was elected to the Michigan House of Representatives in the first election following adoption of the state constitution in 1835, and served through 1836.{{sfn|Bingham|1888|p=619}} He was supervisor of Greenfield Township in 1836 and 1836.{{sfn|Farmer|1890|p=1293}} Strong died in Greenfield Township on February 23, 1881,{{sfn|Moore|1915|p=742}}{{sfn|Detroit Free Press|1881|p=1}} FamilyIn 1827,{{sfn|SI. U. Collins|1914|p=40}} Strong married Isabella Campbell, who was born in Scotland on January 25, 1810. They had six children: John Jr., Ann, George, Isabella, Elizabeth, and Sarah. Isabella Strong died on October 29, 1840.{{sfn|Moore|1915|p=742}} John Strong Jr. was elected to both the state house and senate,{{sfn|Bingham|1888|p=619}} and also served as lieutenant governor of Michigan. Elizabeth's son John S. Haggerty served as Michigan Secretary of State.{{sfn|SI. U. Collins|1914|p=40}} Notes1. ^{{harvnb|Moore|1915|p=742}}, gives Strong's birthplace as "Roxton, England". There is a Roxton, Bedfordshire, and a Wroxton, Oxfordshire, and {{harvnb|Burton|Stocking|Miller|1922|p=1159}}, specifies that he was born in Oxfordshire. 2. ^The date of his arrival varies by source. {{harvnb|Chapman Brothers|1883|p=222}}, and {{harvnb|Detroit Free Press|1881|p=1}}, give 1820 and the latter adds that he spent a year in Canada. {{harvnb|Bingham|1888|p=619}}, says he arrived in Michigan in 1822. {{harvnb|Burton|Stocking|Miller|1922|p=1159}}, says he arrived in the United States in 1825 and in Greenfield Township in 1826; this latter date is also given in {{harvnb|Farmer|1890|p=1445}}. Passenger lists of the Silas Richards show a John Strong born in 1798 traveling from England to New York in 1825 ({{harvnb|FamilySearch|2014}}). References
