Biographical Record and Portrait Album of Tippecanoe County, Indiana, pp.
402-403
Lewis Publishing Company, Chicago, Illinois, 1888

JAMES STRANAHAN, who has been identified with the interests of Tippecanoe
County for many years, is a representative citizen of Washington Township,
where he is classed among the old and honored pioneers. His father, JOHN
STRANAHAN, was a native of Ireland, born in County Downs about the year
1782. He came to America with his parents in his boyhood, the family
probably settling in Pennsylvania. He was married in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania, to MISS MARTHA BAILEY, who was also a native of County Downs,
Ireland. JOHN STRANAHAN learned the trade of a nail maker in Pittsburgh.

Hope this helps someone. Tom
