  	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.
