Notes

  • There is an oddity in the records about James S.  This name first appears in the 1880 census, but in the same position among the children as the child named Tipton S in the 1870 census, and there is no Tipton in 1880.

    Perhaps there is an error of transcription in the 1880 census.  But it appears that this is the same child with a name of James Tipton S.  You will notice several children of this family have three given names.

    His several names appear in various records, and his death certificate has simply James Sherman Strange, clarifying the initial S in some records.  His grave has only J Sherman Strange.

    Strange, Mary A  F W 56 Wife Keeping House TN TN SC
    Strange, James S  W M 13 Son Farm Hand TN TN TN

    The oldest child of this family was also named James, James C, born about 1842 or 1844!  Censuses for this family show the first child in 1850 as James C, age 8.  He appears in 1860 as James, age 16.  There were also two Williams, William A born about 1846 and William G born about 1868.
