    John Bouie Strange was promoted as First Adjutant of a corps of cadets, and became that institution’s third graduate, in its first graduating class of 1842. During his schooling at VA Military Institute, Bowie was the first cadet to be assigned to guard the Lexington Arsenal, and thus came to be known as the “First Sentinel.‟ The tradition of selecting the “First Se ntinel‟ survives to this day, and freshmen at the Institute vie for the honor of this appointment.t.
    See John Meyer Book X.

Generation: 3

  1. 4.  Col. Gideon Alloway Strange, I - of Dog Point was born 7 Mar 1793 (son of John Alloway of Fluvanna, Oak Hill Strange, IV and Mildred Ann “Milly” Barnett); died 23 Feb 1838, Private Cemetary Rock Rest Cemetery, Dog Point, Fluvanna, VA.

    Notes:

    Alloway of Dog Point
    Inherited his estate from his father.
    He was recommended as a fit and proper person for the office of
    Colonel of the 12th Regiment, 3rd Brigade, 2nd Division, Virginia Militia, in 1826/2.7 He represented his district
    in the Virginia State Legislature for twenty-one years. Judging from known dates, we surmise that his military
    career began sometime between 1811 and 1816, and that he became a district representative to the Virginia
    Legislature about 1817. One record stated that he served as a captain in the War of 1812 (1812-1815).
    Member of the House of Delegates (M.H.D.), Virginia.
    This author has concluded that Gideon must have fought with Zachary Taylor (1784-1850), 12th President of the United States, because Taylor is the only person whose background could satisfy all these criteria. Gideon‟s abilities in French would have served him well d uring the Black Hawk War (1832), led by „Old Rough
    and Ready‟ Taylor, along the Mississippi , in a region of Illinois and Wisconsin inhabited by French frontiersmen and fur trappers.

Generation: 4

  1. 8.  John Alloway of Fluvanna, Oak Hill Strange, IV was born 15 Jan 1727, Goochland, VA (son of John “Alloway’s” Strange, III and Ann or Galloway Alloway); died 1 Sep 1811, Fluvanna, VA.

    Notes:

    Because R1b’s claim Alloways’ - Also has son born in Albermarle… Albermarle Stranges come from Alex line..
    Look at possibilities of this:
    Edmond Alloway 1660 Goochland, Rose
    Edward 1630 Orkney (m. Phebe)
    William 1601
    David Magnus 1560
    But this can’t be right the dates are off 200 years!

    He had 9 slaves; possibly children.

    Was supposedly the “baby left on the doorstep”; a story told by more than one family group unrealted, and told to John Drake Strange III & John Mayer on separate occasions.

    This has to be where the R1b’s come in.
