Daniel Strain was born c. 1780. Several of his
children migrated to Troy, New York around 1843, citing Meenan Townland, County
Down, Ireland as their place of origin. James, one of Daniel's grandsons,
settled in Cook County, Illinois/Chicago, while most of the others remained in
and around the Irish Settlement of Troy, New York for many generations.
Many of his descendants remain there today.
