Strosnider and George families
I am interested in hearing from anyone with information regarding the Strosnider and George families of Greene County, Indiana.
Edward Strosniderwas born b/w June 2, 1819 - June 1, 1820 in Pennsylvania and died about 1858 in Owensburg.Edward married Stacy Jane George, daughter of John George and Sarah "Sally" (Vest) George, probably sometime before December 23, 1845 and presumably in Greene County.Stacy George was born November 24, 1827 in Kentucky and died January 11, 1899 in Owensburg (see the Stacy Short obituary previously posted on this website by Robert L. Jackson).Edward and Stacy had one daughter, Mary Elizabeth "Mollie" Strosnider, who later married William Stillwell Dye.Mollie was born December 23, 1845 in Owensburg and died May 12, 1891 in Owensburg.
I believe Edward Strosnider was the oldest son of Adam Strosnider and Margarett (maiden name unknown) Strosnider.Both Edward and Adam are found in the 1850 Greene County Census, Jackson Township (pages 300-301), separated by 20 dwellings.Both are natives of Pennsylvania.Adam lists his age as 55 in the 1850 Census and Edward lists his age as 30.Adam and Margarett have four younger children in their household in 1850, whom I presume to be younger siblings of Edward, but I am looking for evidence to confirm all of these assumptions.
I am also interested in hearing from anyone who knows when exactly Edward Strosnider died, where he is buried, or when he married Stacy George.
Any additional information anyone can furnish regarding either the Strosnider or George families is much appreciated.Please feel free to post it here or contact me directly via e-mail at [email protected] you.
