Notes

  • The One World Tree which I cite for some facts on the children of this family, has the name Caroline for the first child.  The 1870 census lists Delila (Delilah) in that position.  This can be understood as a child named Caroline Delila or perhaps Delila Caroline.  But since the child is listed in the census as Delila (and likely called by that name by the family), I am putting that name first.  Deliah is listed as Caroline in later sources.

    1870 Census Jefferson County, Tennessee, 23 July, District 3, PO Trion, p 7, Hse/Fam #43
    Strange, William 28  M W  Farmer TN [b abt 1842]
    Strange, Edia     24  F W Kpg Hse TN
    Strange, Delila     6  F W                TN

    The OWT had conflicting dates for the first two children.  Where the census had age 6 for the first two girls (yielding a rough birth year of 1864), the OWT reports Dec 1863 for Caroline and 20 Feb 1864 for Martha S!  We know two children cannot be born two months apart to the same woman.  The more exact birth date for Martha in OWT matches the year from the census age, 1864.  With this reasoning I decided to use that date for the birth date of both Caroline Delila and Martha Susannah.  The 1900 census reports Delilah's birth as Oct 1862.

    A carefully commented source in World Family Tree (Pedigree # 2932) provides the death date and place for Caroline most of the siblings in this family, which are missing in many other sources.  This same source, however, also had the same odd birth date conflict as the One World Tree genealogy.

    The Tennessee Marriage Records report the date Caroline married Hugh Hance on 27 Aug 1879.  With her birthday on 20 Feb 1864, this means she was 15.5 years old when she married.
