Biography

Acct adopted 6/25/2017 "Ann Jane (Blair) Strahan  was b. in 1777 to Hugh Blair and Jane Thompson, possibly in Donegore, Co. Antrim, Ireland. She married James Strahan in Ireland in 1800 and was in this country [United States] for their first child Jane to have been born in Steubenville, Ohio in 1801. She and James settled in Shenango Twp., Crawford Co., Pennsylvania, where all of their remaining children were born. Between 1814, when their youngest son Blair was born, and 1820 Fed. Census in Tilden, Randolph Co., PA they had migrated with their family, coming with James Coulter, after whom Coulterville was named. They bought land in 1822 from a Nathan Davis and were probably the first to farm the farm, where the cemetery now lies." [1]

Aged 72 in 1850 census

"James Strahan, a Pennsylvanian, came as early as 1822, and located on the E1/2 of S.W. 1/4 of section 8T.4, R.5, which tract he bought from Nathan Davis. Strahan brought with him a wife and family-John, Blair, Jane, Margaret, Mary Ann and Nancy were the names of his children. History of Randolph, Monroe and Perry Counties Illinois; p. 408.
