Here is a very quick translation of Claude's note about the Strong family for our American cousins...
Thomas Strong bought lots Nos. 145 & 146 from Daniel Phelan in the Cote St. George section of St. Columban between 1842 & 1851. The family was originally from Ireland and their religion was recorded as Church of England. His wife Frances Ewin was also from Ireland and practiced the same religion. The Strong family then lived in the Canton of Gore and in municipality of Mille Iles. You should note that lots 145 & 146 are in the immediate vicinity of these two municipalities. In my book on pages 207 and 237, you have photos of the 2nd Strong home, built by Albert Strong around 1899. This home still exists.
