Subject: Is Samuel Strong really Samuel McCluinny?
Date: Thu, 24 Apr 2003 16:23:32 -0400
I believe that the Samuel Strong you have listed as the son of Elizabeth Strong and Jacob Kepperling, ( http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~russellgs/d0001/g0000099.html#I07 184 )
is my G-G-Grandfather. His name is actually Samuel McClunny and he is the Grandson of Sarah Strong.
I got this information form his (Samuel McClunny) pension application file as a Civil War veteran. He states "My father came out of the Mexican war, wounded and died soon after, and my mother remarried to another man, he was killed in the battle of Shilo. I lived with my grandmother until went in to the service. I lived with my Grandmother Mrs. Sarah Strong, who resided from 1850 to 1860, in Center county Pa."
He was born in Mifflin County August 8th, 1847. I don't know for sure what his Mother and Father's names are. Here is the Census information I have on him.
Sarah Strong is in the household of Jacob Kepperling and Elizabeth in the 1850 Mifflin County Census.
Jacob Kepperling 25 M
Elizabeth " 25 F
Sarah Strong 55 F
Samuel " 18 M
Foster " 15 M
Martha " 13 F
Samuel " 3 M
Sarah Strong is the head of household in the 1860 Centre County Census.
Sarah Strong 64 F
John " 29 M
Martha " 21 F
James F. " 23 M
Samuel McClunny 13 M
Perhaps Elizabeth was married to Samuel McClunny's father prior to her marriage to Jacob Kepperling. If that is the case then Jacob died at the battle of Shilo in 1862. If you have any additional information I would appreciate it. This is a link to Samuel McClunny's page on my home page. Look forward to hearing from you.

Subject: Re: [JFStrong] Re: Is Samuel Strong really Samuel McClunny?
Could it be that since Sarah McClunny is listed as the grand daughter of the head of the household (Elizabeth Kepperling) and Sarah Strong is listed as the mother of the head of the same household in the 1880 Census Russell attached, that Elizabeth is the daughter of Sarah and at one time was married to a McClunny?
(RGS- There is supposedly a grave marker with the name McCluney http://www.rootsweb.com/~pamiffli/cem_mif_vol/MCCemIndex23.gif
in Corbin Cem. in Bratton Twp., Mifflin Co. a map of location is here: http://www.rootsweb.com/~pamiffli/cemeteries_mif/MCCemBratton2.gif
There are about 90 graves and 33 family names in this cemetery. I haven't found a document with the transcriptions yet.)
I'm very interested about whether or not My G-G-Grandfather Samuel is the father of the Sarah McClunny listed in the 1880 Census, or the daughter of a sibling of his. Maybe she is the daughter of Samuel and his first wife? (the marriage you spoke of). Now it's my turn to speculate, maybe Samuel's first wife died giving birth to Sarah and he left her with his mother and Grandmother when he went to Ohio.
(RGS - This seems to be very logical! See next paragraph.)
I am very curious about the marriage for Samuel McClunny in Mifflin County, as far as I know Samuel was married only once in Pleasant Hill, OH to Florence Shellebarger on January 11, 1873. I would very much appreciate more information regarding this marriage.
(RGS - I have a copy of "Marriages of Mifflin County 1822-1885" by Dan McClenahen, Reedsville, PA 1981. On p. 51, Item# 61. Samuel McCluny, Centre Co. & Sarah E. Henry, Armagh Twp., 3/2/68
Perhaps, as you said Sarah, his wife of two years, probably died in childbirth or shortly thereafter in 1870 to a daughter Sarah McCluny. And she is that Sarah that is listed as age 10 and Grand-daughter to Elizabeth Kepperling in the 1880 census.
Samuel may have went to Ohio when his half brother Winfield Scott Kepperling moved to Miami Co.,OH. I have an 1880 Census record of Winfield & Mary Kepperling in Elizabeth Twp.
As it was probably a rough journey he didn't want to take an infant with him and as you said left her in the care of his mother & grand-mother.)
Russell, perhaps James F. Strong on the 1860 Census is Foster from the 1850 Census. I've seen first and middle names reversed between two Census years a few times. I know the ages are off as well, but I have seen that quite often too.
( RGS - This could explain why I have a James Frederick Strong b. abt 30 May 1835 in my file and have no idea where he came from, as I didn't have an 1860 census to compare the info to until now. I would come to the same conclusion as you. I would assume that somebody had assumed that his middle name was Frederick. As William Strong's son is James Frederick Strong. As far as the ages go I also noticed that James is listed as 23 instead of 25 and Martha is listed as 21 instead of 23. In 1880 Sarah listed her age as 79 when she was really 84. Don't know how the John age 29 arrived I have him in my record w/ two different birth years, 1817 & 1831. This is probably where the info came for the 1831 date. However, 1817 would fit for the 1830 & 1840 Census records for Samuel Strong in Armagh Co. I have not found a listing for a John Strong age 19 in Mifflin Co. yet. Just the John Strong in Oliver Twp. b. 1817)
