WILLIAM BENT STRONACH

WILLIAM BENT STRONACH; (Asaph^G3; William^G2; Geo.^G1) (commonly known as Bent Stronach); b. 26 Mar 1839; d. 14 Oct 1866; m. 5 Dec 1860, RUBY LAVINIA STRONACH, d/o Rev. Abraham; b. 18 Feb 1842; d. 23 May 1925; she m. (2) 18 Jan 1875, CAPT. AMOS BURNS, 1842-1929.

Their children:

1. WILLIAM NELSON STRONACH; b. 1 Oct 1861; d. 7 Jan 1944; m. 1 Oct 1884, AGNES ALENA PARKER, d/o Isaac; b. 23 Apr 1861; d. 24 Dec 1953.

2. CHARLES INGLIS STRONACH; b. ca. 1863; d. 6 Jun 1954, age 91 years; m. (1) MARY FREEMAN LEWIS; d. 14 Nov 1934; m. (2) ELLA FLORENCE BOWLBY/E. FLORENCE WHITMAN; d. 31 Dec 1958, age 90 years.

3. LENNA STRONACH; b. ca. 1864; d. 19 May 1880, age 15 years, 6 months.

4. SUSAN BLANCHE STRONACH; m. 22 Aug 1888, RICHARD WILLIAM CLARENCE RITCHIE.

5. WILLIAM B. STRONACH; b. ca. 1865; d. 4 Mar 1868, age 3 years.
NOTE: "William B. Stronach, died 4 Mar 1868, age 3 yrs." This inscription appears on a gravestone in Margaretsville's Bayview Cemetery. On the same stone are inscriptions for George Stronach and his wife, Susan Bent, their son, Reis Stronach and his wife, Belle Hunt. William B. was not a child of George and Susan, nor of Reis and Belle. The child's name and approximate year of birth leads me to conclude that he might be a child of William Bent and Ruby Stronach.
