Adolphus M. Strain b. ca 1817 SC and married to Mary Waters in Habersham
County, GA July 25/1817 were ?? my great grandparents. They died at a very
young age (35 and 31) from typhoid about 1855, Stamp Creek, Cass Co., GA.
They had 4 or 5 sons, they were:
John Wesley b. SC or GA 1840 -
James A. b. GA 1842 KIA -Civil War
William A. b. GA ca 1844-45- went west? ALA
McDonald (Donald) b. GA 1846 ??? KIA Civil War

parents died. They are like me, they know very little about the family
background. I would like to find anyone with this information. There must be
some descendants of John W or other Strains from this area. Please e-mail me
direct to Thanks. Betty

Strain came to GA. Both worked for the Stroup Iron Works and I believe they
