A Complete History of Fairfield County, Ohio
"Previous to the year 1823, there does not seem to have been any legally constituted Surveyors for the County of Fairfield. Since that time the following men have served as County Surveyors, in the order and time below:
Gabriel Strunk, 1849 to 1854." Gabriel seems to be in Cedar County, Iowa 1880, and seems to be the Gabriel Strunk who died in Jasper County, Iowa, 1896. Married Sarah Stuffle?
An "Ancestry Hint" on Ancestry.com gives a Strunk place of birth as Somerset County, Pennsylvania. I don't see a source for that.
