  s/o John Strong and Agnes Whitman. There are unsupported claims on the internet that George Strong was the s/o John Strong and Agnes Whitman of Taunton, Somerset; and that George Strong was the husband of Ann Bond. However, George's son Walter did marry a woman named Ann Bond. George was born about 1556 probably in Chardstock, Dorset, England and became a tailor. He had at least four sons including John, our ancestor. He built a cottage for his family in the 1590’s but later moved to Chard, some three miles distant but in Somerset county.
