RESEARCH:  PORTRAIT AND BIOG ALBUM OF MARSHALL CO. KS, 1889, pg  671: "CHARLES S. STRANGE 20 yrs resident on S 12, Blue Rapids City
Twp. 160 acres. . .born in Carroll Co. VA (recheck to see if it might be Campbell Co, VA.). Mar 25, 1845, son of Samuel and Jane (Traylor) Strange and oldest child of his father's SECOND MARRIAGE!
(emphasis added.)  His parents were natives of the Old Dominion, from which they emigrated to KS in 1857, settling in Doniphan Co.  . . remained until 1869 when they moved to Marshall Co."
". (Charles). .mg Sep 13, 1869 in Doniphan Co. Kan with Mrs. Eddie Stigall "
more of her data not extracted.
Comment:  Since Roland and Matilda are in Wash Twp., Doniphan Co in 1860 (same time period as Samuel Strange) and also in Marshall Co 1870, (same time period as Samuel Strange) there is most certainly a relationship to the above.

But Samuel died May 27 1920 and Charles is not listed in his sibling survivors.

"SAMUEL married again in Aug 1892.  Gave all land to this wife for caring for him the rest of his life."  (FOURTH  wife  was Elizabeth Laurence.)

"A cousin here (Marysville, KS) says there were a lot more children we didn't know about.  She is a grandaughter of RACHAEL.  Leslie in Idaho is g grandaughter of REBECCA.  PAUL moved back to Massachusetts and there are cousins there.  One of his granddaughters came to Kansas City
and settled there."

"Old SAMUEL and wife ELIZABETH are buried about 7 miles south of here on the farm (family cemetery plot) in the section 12  mentioned in Chas Biography  (Blue Rapids City Township.)

Letter from Helen Kracht, 506 Walnut St. Marysville, KS 66508-1952.

"I'm supposing your great grandfather and mine are brothers.  My great grandfather was Samuel Strange with brothers Martin, John, Calvin, Paul, Joseph, Ben and Rolland.
I also write to a Strange cousin in KS, ID and one in Lincoln, NE.  The one in Lincoln is a descendant of Roland."

PICTURE (xeroxed) of SAMUEL STRANGE and ELIZABETH CHENEY STRANGE sent by Helen Kraacht, Oct 18, 1991. Helen says that Elizabeth Cheney was his third wife. They look stern and glassy eyed.  She has very black hair.

Helen also wrote:"My father raised me on family history little stories and family relationships."
"My g-grandfather SAMUEL (Strange) was 72 when my grandfather was born in 1874.  The 1880 census says SAMUEL was 78 and this seems to be correct according to the county's 1870 records too."

Parthena STRANGE [Parents] was born 15 Feb 1810 in Halifax Co, VA. She died 28 Aug 1877  and was buried in Lindley Prairie Cem, Bearcreek, Cedar, MO. Parthena married Robert RICKMAN on 30 Mar 1829 in Halifax Co, VA.

Notes of Wiliam Gaulding "I have seen others spell it "Parthenia" but from all the records that I have including her grave stone, it has been spelled "Parthena". Per William Gaulding, Parthena's birth date is 15 Feb 1810, death date 28 Aug 1877 Cedar Co., MO

From: William Gaulding <mailto:wgaulding@cox.net> Sent: Wednesday, February 26, 2003 10:31 AM

..regarding Parthena. For reasons I have never developed, she appears to have come to Missouri with her children, leaving GGF Robert RICKMAN in KY. Whether they were ever divorced still remains a mystery, however, it does appear that Robert remarried and died in nr Roaring Springs, Trigg Co., KY sometime after 1880. [Parthena] was living with dau Mary Ann and her husband Martin A. JONES in Atchison, KS in 1870 and she apparently died in Cedar Co., MO while living with one of her other children there. She died 28 Aug 1877 and is buried in Lindley Prairie Cemetery, near Bear Creek, Cedar Co., MO along with other family members. Most of my Mother's ancestry is buried there except for her father and mother, who are buried in Lockwood Cemetery, Lockwood, Dade Co., MO. David has [Parthena] died in Todd Co., KY but I have to believe that is incorrect since she and all of her children had migrated to Cedar Co., MO in the mid 1850's. No evidence that GGF Robert RICKMAN ever came to MO with them.

Betty and I have been to Marshall Co., KS and visited the old home place of Samuel STRANGE and the adjacent farms of his son Charles and William Thomas. We found the cemetery that Samuel had laid out on the NE corner of his farm but it was all plowed up and planted. Obtained a copy of the deed for the cemetery and as far as I know, it still exits on the records although the present owner did plow it up and planted crops there. His wife, worked in the County Clerk's office in Marysville and told us that her husband had found some stones before plowing and placed them under a tree near the road but they sure were not there when we visited the cemetery. Charles, son of Samuel, married Edine "Edy", my GM's older sister and we have a picture of their home place there in Marshall Co. next to Samuel's old place. Also have pictures of their burial site in the Cemetery north of Blue Rapids. I do have an old picture of Charles, Edy and her two daughters, Elizabeth and Julia Ann, neither of which could have been daughters of Calvin STEGALL, as Edy married him 9 Apr 1863 and he was only 19 at the time and I suspect the marriage was one of convenience since he had been injured in the Civil War and died shortly thereafter. In fact,

Calvin N. STEGALL was the son of Irene, sister to my GGM Parthena, who had married Henry STEGALL, the one that witnessed and was surety for the marriage of Martin STRANGE, one [Parthena's] brothers marriage in Roane Co., TN 31 Dec 1835. My GGGM Elizabeth (WATTS) STRANGE was living with Henry and Irene STEGALL in Christain Co., KY in 1850, GGGF Henry STRANGE, having died in Roane Co., TN in mid 1840's. She appears to have died as did Henry STEGALL there as Irene came to Cedar Co., MO with her children and married there 2nd to James HAYES in 1855.

Actually I have Samuel STRANGE married 5 times although his obit says 3. The 1st was to

an "Edy ???" by whom he had Sarah Jane (died young), Narcissa, Julia Ann, Robert and Virginia. 2nd marriage to Elizabeth KNOTT, no childdren of record. 3rd marriage to Sarah Jane TRAYLOR, children Charles S., William Henry, Samuel Adam, Haywood, and Rachel E. 4th to Elizabeth CHENEY, children Parthena, Lucinda, Paul, Rebecca, Laura and Howard. 5th marriage to Elizabeth LAWRENCE. Could be wrong on this but that is the way I have picked them up in my research.

Did learn one thing from David's data. That the first wife of Paul H. STRANGE, [Parthena's brother], was Elizabeth CACY. I had never found that but did know that Paul came to Cedar Co., MO from Todd Co., KY and had one son, Albert, before he married Elizabeth Frances MITCHELL in 1851 in Cedar Co. His brother, Joseph H., married 3rd Louisa Jane MITCHELL, Elizabeth's sister. Paul is buried right behind (west) GGM Parthena in Lindley Prairie Cem. as is one of his sons. In front of GGM (east) is her son Alfred Thomas RICKMAN and wife. Others near by.
