I'm wondering if anyone has access to biographies of LaPorte citizens that
may contain information on nineteenth century residents. I'm hoping that a
biographical sketch may be in existence for a Harvey Strong, b. 1792 CT,
moved to LaPorte in 1835, stayed for the next 29 years before moving to Iowa
where he died in 1895. He was an attorney and also farmed his land. He was
married to Janet Gillespie, and had the following children: Ann Govan Strong
(m. 1849 Dr. F.W. Hunt in LaPorte), Harvey Strong, Colin Gillespie Strong,
Henry Strong, Robert Moncrieff Strong, Elizabeth Gordon Strong, John
Mitchell Strong, Washington Strong (b. 1837 LaPorte), and Franklin Strong
(b. 1841 LaPorte). Thanks!
