Mary A E Strong was a great-granddaughter of Nathaniel Strong (born 1744 Hanover Co VA, died 1823 in Madison Co AL) and Catherine Callahan. Mary’s husband Benjamin A Strong was a Gr-Gr-Grandson of the same Nathaniel and Catherine. Hence, Benjamin and his wife Mary were second cousins one time removed, and Benjamin A Strong was therefore third cousins to his own children. See the Strong text box following (furnished by source CK). This was quite common in the pre-automobile days of the 19th Century. Most people were from farm families, and after a long day in the fields, the courting range was as far as a horse would carry a person, leaving enough time to return home in the evening to get some sleep for the next day’s farm work. Hence, people often married nearby distant cousins, rather than a total non-relative who lived farther away. (CK,48qrmsuv)
