HIS FATHER WAS AMOS BRADFORD STRANGE WHO WITH HIS FAMILY CAME TO ALABAMA FROM SPARTANBURG, S.C. AND IS ALSO SUSPOSED TO BE BURIED IN MARSHALL CO.

THIS LINE OF STRANGES CAME TO VIRGINIA FROM DEVON, DEVONSHIRE, ENGLAND IN THE 1600'S .FAMILY HISTORY IS NOTED IN THE ST. PETERS PARISH RECORDS,NEW KENT COUNTY,VA.
1686-THE FIRST SETTLERS WAS JOHN STRANGE AND HIS SON ALEXANDER STRANGE.
ANY INFORMATION ON THE STRANGE FAMILY OF MARSHALL COUNTY AND PERHAPS DEKALB COUNTY WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO LOCATE THE BURIAL PLACE IN ALABAMA OF THIS GROUP OF STRANGE FAMILY MEMBERS.E.J.
