Research indicates that Sarah was born in Caledonia, New York and died in Akron, Indiana. Andrew was born in Windsor, York County, Pennsylvania and died in Akron, Indiana. The two were married in Akron, but the location that these were made is unknown. He is listed as a blacksmith in Akron in the 1860 Fulton County, Indiana census and his obituary states that he continued this trade until 1876 when he opened a store, continued by his sons as Strong's Store until 1937.
