STRANGE OF HOWARD, by John Mayer (Oct 1994 ed) pg 209

She is not listed in the 1880 with William and Francis Strange.   THAT IS STRANGE.

Charles Surat STRANGE [Parents] was born 10 Sep 1885 in Of Blue Rapids, Marshall Co. KS. He died in Of Tacoma, WA. Charles married Mary Gustava GILKEY.

There is a marriage record for Samuel Strange Jr age 29 m/ Sarah M. Trosper age 21 on 1 Jan 1881, Marshall Co, KS.
This very well could be Samuel Adams Strange.

Iva Campbell notes " Samuel Adams Strange -- Mrs. Addie Strange of Kendall Washington furnished me with thies brief sketch of her husband's family.
"Samuel Adams and Brothers Charlie and Will of Blue Rapids, Kansas were sons of Samuel Strange of Halifax County VA.....Samuel Adams has two children W.L. and Charles A.  Both live in Tokoma, Washington"

In 1900 Census S. A. Strange is listed as a turnkey (guard) in Washington State prison, Walla Walla Washington. Shows him as married 0 yrs.  In the same Census Adella Strange is listed in Kendall, Whatcom, WA  vol 20 ed 238 sh 3 line 93. She is listed as head of family with William S. and Charles S Strange (stepsons) and from birthdates this is shown to be correct family.
She is 25 yrs old ,b. Nov 1874 TX. married 1 yr 0 children.

Also 1900 WA census, Turnwater pct, Thurston Co. Vol 8 ed 223 sheet 9 line 18 is Sarah Strange (b. Oct 1859 KS) living alone, divorced, 2 children, 2 living. This strongly suggests that Sarah Trosper Strange md Samuel Adams Strange, had two sons William and Charles, moved to Washington divorced and  there Samuel md Addie or Adella.

Janet Stone of Ballsbridge,Dublin Ireland is listed as a source for Samuel Adams Strange in the Ancestral File.  She lists his father as William Strange. She shows him b. 29 Jul 1851, Bigelow KS, died 22 Sep 1925 Kelso WA, Married to Sarah Trosper b. 16 Oct 1859 Bigelow,,KS died 9 Jun 1943, Thurston WA  son Charles Surat Strange b. 10 Sep 1885 Marshall KS

Graham, Bernice: "Descendants of Samuel Smith,"  THE TALLOW LIGHT,
Washington Co., OH. 1968, v. 3, p 99-121:
Possibly  the Smith and Alderman families knew each other and it's even
likely that they emigrated to New York together.  ELISHA ALDERMAN was
born in CT abt the same time as SAMUEL SMITH.

1801 Jan 22:  VINCENT SMITH the eldest child of James W and Esther
(Alderman) Smith was born in Otsego Co., NY  where his parents lived
near the ELISHA ALDERMAN family.

1803 Dec 3: MILTON SMITH was born in Canisteo on the Unadilla River,
Otsego, NY.

1805 ALANSON SMITH  was born abt 10 miles from Angelica, nr
Belvidere, on the Genesee River, Alleghany Co. NY where the ELISHA
ALDERMANS & THE JAMES W. SMITH'S had moved.
1807 July HARVEY SMITH born there.
1809 Nov 22  JAMES SMITH was born there.
1812 Aug 6 their 6th child CARMI SMITH  was born in OHIO  as were 3
succeeding children:
1814  Sept--Talma
1817  Sept--Eli
1821 June--Lucy.

1810 April:  "The urge of the pioneer spirit to move westward
culminated in an adventurous voyage down the Allegheny and Ohio Rivers
in 1810.  Journey began at Olean Point, where they embarked on a raft
with ELISHA ALDERMAN and family, floating down to Point Harmar,
opposite Marietta, Ohio, landing there in April.  . . .Picture the trying
time on this raft, especially for the mothers.  The children ranked in age
from VINCENT 8, through MILTON 6, ALANSON 4, HARVEY 2 and JAMES
WARD SMITH 6 mo.  Imagine that mother's anxiety, lest one of her lads in
his play should fall overboard and drown.  They landed at Point Harmar
at the junction of the Muskingum and Ohio Rivers.  There must have been
a score of passengers on that early fashioned boat and they must have
hailed the day of landing with happy relief.   From this place began the
journey by wagon.
"JAMES WARD SMITH & family went 20 miles west and settled in almost
unbroken fores tin what had been the home of Thomas Ewing, early
pioneer and prominent politician of Ohio.  Later a small village called
Plymouth grew up at this place.  Name has since been changed to Bartlett
and it is located on the state road, half-way between the county seat of
Wash and Athens Counties.
