Welcome to the William Strother Society, Inc. Web Site
The William Strother Society, Inc. is a family association dedicated to perpetuating the memories of our ancestors and furthering fellowship among the descendants of William Strother (immigrant). Founded in 1986 and incorporated in Virginia in 1992 as a non-profit organization, the Society's members include descendants and their families of William Strother (immigrant), related families and others interested in the Strother family. Today there are almost 300 active members in the Society from throughout the United States and around the world. The Society hopes you enjoy using this website and encourages non-members to join and learn more about and meet with your cousins.
William Strother (immigrant)
William Strother (immigrant) settled in colonial Virginia in the seventeenth century in what is now King George County on the Rappahannock River near Port Conway. William's will was probated in 1702 and names his wife Dorothy and six children: William, James, Jeremiah, Robert, Benjamin and Joseph. These six sons gave us a Strother family, which includes U.S. presidents, military leaders, judges, legislators and community leaders. The family database includes over 70,000 individuals, who are descendants of William Strother and related families.
Biennial Conference
Society members meet at a biennial conference held usually in Virginia. The next conference will be July 19-21, 2012 in Fredericksburg. Activities will include tours of historical sites, genealogical workshops, social gatherings and numerous opportunities to share family information. Members will be available to assist those uncertain of their Strother "roots."
Newsletter
Our "Houses of Strother Newsletter" is published quarterly. It includes articles on the history of the Strother family, tips on genealogical research, queries from those seeking family information, and information from our members.
