Documents

.pdf file: correspondence between John Lansdale Sr. and Eva Strain, Summer 1933 (9 pages)
These letters were written between John Lansdale, Sr. and Eva Strain, a woman, possibly a distant cousin, living in Rockbridge Co., Virginia, during the summer of 1933. JL Sr. was searching for knowledge of the Strain family history, and his two letters tells what he knew about his Strain family at the time. They compliment the history he writes in his essay "Miscellaneous Personal and Family Notes" preserved on the Maryland Histories page. Her letter tells of what she knows about her family, which it turns out is not closely related. See the memo on the first page for more information here. This includes S465 on this site.

Notes

Hanover Twp. is in Eastern PA on the NJ border, north of Lansdale and Quakertown, but south of Jim Thorpe.

The Library of Virginia contains number of McCutchan family bibles. One, containing records from 1758-1892, has information on the Strain family, and while I haven't seen the bible, I assume that the marriages between James McCutcheon's children to the children of David Strain and Elizabeth Allen are the records preserved there. The call number is Misc. reel 700/30414 Miscellaneous reel 700; it is preserved in microfilm. The original, with 17 pages of records, is kept in the special collections dept. at the Harrison/Small library in Charlottesville. [3]
