From FindaGrave:

Jedediah Strong was born May 7, 1637 at Hingham, Suffolk County, Massachusetts to John and Abigail Ford Strong. The family didn't live very long in Hingham, moving around to several settlements, and by 1646, they lived in Windsor, Connecticut and by 1659, they had settled in Northampton, Hampshire County, Massachusetts. Jedediah, a farmer, married Freedom Woodward in Northampton December 18, 1662 and their children were: Abigail, Jedediah Jr., Ford (a son), a daughter, Hannah, Thankful, John, Sarah, Lydia, Mary, Experience, Preserved and John (again). After the death of Freedom, Jedediah married Abigail Bartlett, widow of John Stebbins, December 28, 1681 at Northampton. They had a daughter, Mary, in addition to the children Abigail had with John Stebbins. From 1677 - 1679, Jedediah was paid 18 shillings a year to blow a trumpet he owned to notify the townspeople of meetings. In 1683, he was a constable in Northampton. After the death of Abigail in 1689, Jedediah married Mary Hart, widow of John Lee, January 5, 1692. She had several children by John Lee, some who eventually married his children. Jedediah was father or step-father to 32 children. On October 10, 1710, Jedediah and Mary started out on a horseback trip from Northampton to Coventry, Connecticut to visit some of their children. Near South Hadley, Massachusetts, the horse they were riding slipped on some smooth stones "near the falls", injuring Mary. She died the next morning. In 1710, Jedediah moved to Coventry, moving in with his son Preserved. He died May 22, 1733 at Coventry, Tolland County, Connecticut and is possibly buried in the Nathan Hale Cemetery there, aged 96.

From FindaGrave:

Joseph Strong and his family moved from Northampton to Coventry, in March, 1716, seven years after its first settlement; he was a prosperous farmer. His town offices included: town treasurer in 1716; selectman for six years; and Justice of the Peace for many years beginning in 1723. In 1721, the first year that Coventry was represented in the Colonial Legislature, he was sent as the representative of the town. At the time there were two annual sessions of the Legislature, in May and October. Justice Strong was elected 52 times to the Legislature and served 65 sessions in the Connecticut General Assembly. He was moderator of the first Coventry town-meeting on April 23, 1718, and often afterwards, holding the office until April 11, 1763, at aged 90. He served in the Colonial Legislature until May 1762, at aged 89; his son Phinehas was the other representative with him from Coventry.

Justice Joseph Strong was the 6th great-grandfather of Diana Frances Spencer, Princess of Wales, and the 7th Great grandfather of Prince William of Wales, heir to the British throne.

From FindaGrave:

Preserved married his first wife Tabitha Lee on October 23, 1701. Tabitha was a step-daughter to Jedediah Strong, Preserved's father.

Preserved supposedly got his name because he was born in a "great snow storm, and preserved, 'notwithstanding its severity, and the extreme cold weather following.'" (from the book John Lee, by Sarah Marsh Lee, Norwich, 1878, p. 135)

They migrated to Lebanon, Connecticut about 1709; after 1730 they lived in Coventry, where Preserved served on the board of selectmen in 1730, '31, '34, and '35. Tabitha preceded him in death.

Preserved and Tabitha produced eight children:

Noah Strong (1702 - 1771)
Elizabeth Strong (1704 - 1792)
Moses and Aaron Strong, twins (b. 1708)
Tabitha Strong Parker (b. 1710)
Mary Strong Ritter (1714 - 1754)
John Strong (b. 1715)
Enoch Strong (b. 1720)

Some time after his first wife Tabitha died in 1750, Preserved married Abigail Stebbins. They had one child:

Mary Strong Pixley

After the death of his second wife, Preserved married a widow, Mary Hart Lee. They did not have any children.
