This article attempts to determine the number of Strangites living on Beaver Island in the 1840-50s. Due to incomplete records and the fact that baptism was not required for members, it is difficult to know the exact number. Taking into account various factors and consulting the available sources, the author postulates that the Beaver Island Strangite population was 800 at the time of Strang's death in 1856.
