the long version

John Strong came to America in 1630 and settled in Dorchester. There began the Strong family in the United States. “May this history of one of the largest and best families in the land prove to be a pillar of light, wherever it stands, to the honor of God, the God of our fathers, and for the promotion of virtue and piety, to the latest genertion of those who shall read in its pages the record of the worthy lives and characters of their sires.” pg xxxix
