PREFACE
THIS volume is well characterized by its name, "A Book of
Strattons." It is not a genealogy of any one line of
Strattons, but contains data concerning many lines, attempts
to account for all Colonial Strattons in America, and includes
much of interest on the early Strattons of England and Scotland.
More than five thousand Strattons, descendants of the Colonial
emigrants, have been satisfactorily placed, and many branches
brought down to the present day.
Genealogical records of these descendants to the fifth genera-
tion from the emigrant, are given in this first volume; the second
volume takes up each line where this volume leaves it.
The work is published for the Strattons, for those who
are interested, and in the hope of interesting others. Much of
the data presented was collected with no thought of publication,
from a pure love of such work, and a desire to know more of
our Stratton ancestry. Even now the compiler would gladly defer
publication for a few years, until more of the "missing links"
might be found, but for an urgently expressed desire on the part
of other Strattons to possess a copy of the data already collected,
a wish to put this data, by duplicating it, beyond the possibility
of loss, and a hope that its circulation may create, on the part of
the Strattons of the present generation, a greater interest in family
history, and so induce others to record facts which otherwise
may be irretrievably lost with the passing away of the older ones
among us.
Even as a child the writer was interested in genealogical lore,
and from her grandparents and the older members of her father's
family, early learned what they knew of their ancestry. Later,
a more systematic research was begun, at first with the thought
of collecting data on one line only. Then, discovering that = while
original records contain much concerning the early Strattons,
very little on the name had ever been published, data on all = lines
were collected and classified. It soon became apparent that the
xu
Preface
"three brothers" theory (the tradition heard in childhood, and
found in many Stratton families to-day) would by no means
account for all the seventeenth-century Strattons in America.
As the collection grew the interest in it grew also, until many
sources of information have been searched for material. In the
Prerogative Court of Canterbury, Somerset House, London, are
recorded one hundred and forty-two Stratton wills and admin-
istrations from 1412 to 1720. Sixteen of these are marked "be-
yond the seas," or "abroad," showing that many more than
"three brothers" had left England before 1720. A list of these
wills and administrations has been obtained, and several wills
abstracted for this volume. Early Stratton wills are found in
other English courts. Many Stratton records are found among
the original papers in the Public Record Office, London. Others
are found on the church records of various parishes. Some work
has been done among all these sources in England, and enough
unconnected data collected to give some idea of the vast amount
of interesting material obtainable, and to serve as a guide and
encouragement to further study in early Stratton genealogy.
In this country considerable research has been made among
the records of the thirteen original colonies, and in others of the
older states; data obtained from town, county and probate records;
from wills, deeds and invoices; from church records, gravestones
and old family Bibles, while hundreds of letters have been = written
to Strattons in this country and in Great Britain.
And yet the work is far from complete, and several puzzling
problems remain unsolved. It is ardently hoped that the search
may continue, until the ancestral line of every Colonial Stratton
may be established in the Old World and his descendants here as
fully traced as existing records may render possible.
In collecting this material, the compiler has had correspond-
ence with many people, and would here gratefully acknowledge
indebtedness, and gladly return thanks to the many Strattons
who have so cheerfully and intelligently responded with family
records and with words of encouragement and appreciation.
Much help has also been received from town, county and probate
clerks, and pastors and rectors of churches, who have courteously
replied to letters and furnished records, in not a few cases = with-
out a fee, although in every case a fee was offered.
Preface xiii
For carefully taken notes, extended records, or material aid
in research, special thanks are due Dr. Charles Carroll Stratton
of Oregon, Mr. Sidney Vanuxem Stratton, Sr., of Mississippi,
Mr. Francis A. Stratton of New York, Mr. James T. Stratton
(now deceased) of California, and Dr. Charles R. Straton of
Salisbury, England.
From Rev. Anson Titus, Boston, the compiler has received
many helpful suggestions, and invaluable aid on puzzling points
in New England research.
The greater portion of the research among original papers in
England was made by Mr. J. Henry Lea and his agent, Mr.
Hutchinson, in London, who have taken a kind interest in the
work.
Special aid in collecting data on various branches has also
been rendered by Miss Mary A. Stratton of Massachusetts, Rev.
James Stratton of Hants, England, William H. Zelley (son of
Daniel Stratton Zelley) of New Jersey, Hon. Thomas J. Stratton
of Virginia, Mrs. Sarah Stratton Juliand of New York, Guilford D.
Stratton of New Hampshire, Rev. Joseph Stratton of Berkshire,
England, E. Piatt Stratton of Long Island and Senator Stratton
of Colorado.
Among others, not Strattons, who have kindly contributed
notes and suggestions, or copied records not accessible to the
compiler, are Mr. E. L. Smith of Boston, Miss Mary Frances Peirce
of Weston, Kirk Brown of Baltimore, Miss Mary Utley of Hart-
ford and Mrs. C. P. Yeatman of Barranquilla.
Errors will doubtless be found in this volume. Everyone at
all familiar with genealogical work well knows the many sources
from which errors will creep in, in spite of the most painstaking
efforts to avoid them.
Anyone finding mistakes, or having additional data to con-
tribute, will confer a favor by communicating the same to the
compiler.

EXPLANATIONS
BUT few explanations are necessary. The abreviations usual
in such works are used: b., born, m., married, d., died, etc.
In a few cases prob., sup., abt. are used for probably, supposed,
about, etc. These, and the few other abbreviations used, will be
readily understood.
As in other genealogical works the small figure following a
name, and placed above the line, indicates the number of the
generation from the emigrant ancestor.
The number preceding the name is an individual number, and
denotes the person's place in the line of Strattons to which he
belongs.
The minus sign ( ) placed before the number in the lists of
children's names shows that this individual is not traced further.
If a son, nothing more is known of him; no attempt has been
made in this volume to trace the descendants of the daughters.
The plus sign ( + ) preceding a number denotes that the num-
ber and name are repeated on a succeeding page (the number
in black faced type), where a more detailed account of the in-
dividual is given.
Repetition has been avoided except where it seemed necessary
for a clearer understanding of a subject, or to bring together the
facts pertaining to the biography of an individual.
A special feature of this volume is the charts, showing at a
glance the descendants, to the fifth generation, of fourteen of the
Colonial Strattons. In every case the individual number in the
text is the same as the number used for that individual on the
chart. Therefore, in referring to any person whose name occurs
on a chart, it will only be necessary to mention the number and
chart, as: 28, Chart H, married Abigail Morton. The descend-
ants of 125, Chart G, have not been located. Further information
is desired concerning 63, Chart D; 199, Chart M, lived in Rich-
mond, Ind.
xvi Explanations
Volume II, in taking up each line where this volume leaves it,
continues these numbers.
For a synopsis of our knowledge of the earlier Strattons in
America, see the chapter on "Colonial Strattons" in this volume.
In some lines, of course, the fifth generation comes much nearer
the present time than in others.
In the case of the descendants of the eldest son of Samuel Strat-
ton of Watertown the fifth generation lacks some years of reach-
ing Revolutionary times, while some of the fifth generation from
Mark Stratton of Evesham served in the Civil War. This is
readily understood when we consider that Samuel ^ of Watertown
was born in 1592, while Mark ^ of Evesham was born nearly one
hundred years later.
It will be seen that the charts are not quite complete. A few
of the sons in each chart have not been traced beyond the third or
fourth generation.
It is the hope of the writer that some of these may yet be found,
and that very full data of later generations may be compiled for
a future volume. Will not all Strattons aid in this work by
collecting and contributing further items of interest concerning
their own lines?

STRATTONS IN THE OLD WORLD
" The dry branches of genealogical trees bear many pleasant and curious
fruits for those who know how to search for them." Henry Ward Beecher.
" Many questions arise in the course of genealogical work, which only = History
can answer." John Fiske.
A BOOK OF STRATTONS
ORIGIN OF THE NAME
"Let us begin at the beginning." Pursuivant of Arms.
THE Strattons cannot be traced to a common ancestor in
Great Britain, however far back we may go. The name
is a "place name" and had several, probably many, origins.
Whenever the family home was on an old Roman road this sur-
name was not uncommon. It is derived from two Anglo-Saxon
words, street, a paved road; and tun, an enclosure, a home, or = a small village. When the Saxons came into Britain they found
there the paved roads of the Romans. Such roads they had
never before seen, and having no name by which to designate
them, began to use the Roman word stratum, which soon became
street, from which comes our word street.
To an enclosure, having a strong wall, within which dwelt a
family, usually a family of wealth, with other families = depend-
ant upon it, forming a small village, the Saxons gave the name = tun, and from this we get our word town, which in the termina-
tion of names is now usually contracted into ton, as Charles-town,
Charleston; East-town, Easton; Long-town, Langton; Street-
town, Stratton.
Surnames began to come into use about the eleventh century.
Men took these names from the localities in which they lived
as well as from occupations, mental traits, physical features, etc.
The name Stratton was first applied to the place, or enclosure, and
later to the family that dwelt therein. Thus in 1124, in the Laur-
iston line, in Kincardinshire, Scotland, we find Alexander, filius
Roberti, to w^hom the " lands of Straton " were granted by David I,
of Ledland, the king who introduced feudalism into Scotland.
Alexander then became Alexander de Straton. Two or three gen-
erations later the "de" was dropped and the family became
4 A Book of Strattons
Stratons of that Ilk, and later of Lauriston, and in 1296 Alexander
Straton swore fealty to Edward I, son of John de Baliol, or " King
John," the rival of Bruce for the crown of Scotland. In = Oxford,
in the thirteenth century, lived Adam de Stratton, who "holdth
the manor of Wydeford," and who had a brother WiUiam Strat-
ton. Mention is found of one John de Stratton in County Norfolk
in the time of Edward I; while on the eastern coast of Cornwall
is the "Hundred of Stratton."
Notice that the counties, or shires, of Kincardine, Oxford,
Norfolk, and Cornwall are widely separated. There are other
localities where the name seems to have originated, and in most
of these are found Strattons to this day. A more thorough re-
search would doubtless show the several localities from which
came Strattons at an early date to the American colonies, thus
establishing all the distinct lines here.
EVOLUTION IN SPELLING
In the old records the name is variously spelled. Most sur-
names as we find them to-day are evolved from earlier forms.
An antiquarian who has given some study to the subject thinks
that "de Strate" as it appears on a lease (1197) in the British
Museum, is the original of Stratton in one locality. There is
good reason for believing that Richard Stroughton (written also
Stroute), vicar of Dovercourt, 1531, belonged to the Strattons of
Shotley. Several of the early Alexanders of Lauriston spelled the
name Straiton, while others of the same line wrote it Stratoun.
William of Tenterden wrote Stretton in signing his own wall in
1647, while on the books of his company it is written Stratton.
At Copps Hill, Boston, the name is spelled two ways on the same
stone, at the grave of Bartholomew Stratton who died 1686. The
town clerks of Watertown, Mass., found five ways for spelling
Samuel Stratton's name, 1647-1672. The early records of Virginia
and New Jersey show almost as great a variety. There was no
recognized standard of orthography in those early days.
The following will of Nicholas Stratton, of County Norfolk,
Eng., dated 19 November, 1527, and copied from the original,
is a good example of the Old English of the sixteenth century.

The following "complaint" of Sir Richard Stroute (or Strat-
ton) to "the Kyng our Sou'ain Lord" (Henry VIII), copied
from the original in the Public Record Office, London, seems at
the first glance unintelligible. By a little careful study, however,
it is easily deciphered and presents a choice example of the spel-
ling of that period:

The exact date of this Complaint is not recorded, but it was
between 1527 and 1532. This, it will be remembered, was in the
days of Luther, and of the Reformation.

PLACES CALLED STRATTON
"Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set."
Proverbs xxii, 28.
THERE are in England to-day, according to Lewis' Topo-
graphical Dictionary, more than forty places named Stratton
(or Stretton), and near the most of them may still be seen
traces of old Roman roads. The following is a partial list of
them :
Stratton St. Andrew, a market town and parish, including the
small sea-port of Bude, in County Cornwall, 17 miles from
Launceston.
Stratton St. Mary, a parish 3 miles from Dorchester, County
Dorset. A Roman road passes through his parish.
Stratton St. Peter, a parish in the County of Gloucester, 12 miles
from Cirencester. The church is a small ancient structure,
with a steeple rising between the nave and chancel. The
ancient Ermine Street passes through this parish.
Stratton Park, in Hampshire, near Milcheldever, 8 miles from
Winchester. The Roman road may be seen here today.
Stretton, a chapelry, in the parish of North Wingfield, County
Derby, 4 miles from Alfreton.

It is very evident, from the above, that Stratton is a "place
name," and in many places it must have originated where we
find it to-day. From several of these places families took the
name, giving rise to distinct lines of Strattons. How many of
these lines are represented in America, only farther research can
determine.*
* In King and Queen County, Virginia, Stratton Major Parish was estab-
lished in 1664-5. It was probably named by one of its first ministers, = who
may have come from some Stratton to%vn, or parish in England. Nothing is = now known of its ministers previous to 1724. The Parish register = contains
these entries:
"1768. On Tuesday evening died the Rev. Wm. Robinson, Lord Bishop of
London, Commissary for the Colony & rector of Stratton Major = Parish."
" 1771. On Sunday last William Nelson jr. and his new married Lady made
their appearance in Stratton Major Church."
In 1774 Rev. Wm. Dunlap was rector of Stratton Major. He was ordained
in London in 1767 and was a relative of Benjamin Franklin. The last = entry in
the register was in 1783. Old Stratton Major Church was sold and the = bricks
removed many years ago.
Stratton Island, on the coast of Maine, received its name from John = Stratton
of Shotley, Eng., to whom 2000 acres of land, including this island, was = granted in 1631.
The town of Stratton in Maine was probably named after Nehemiah Strat-
ton (a descendant of Samuel Stratton i) who settled in Maine from = Massachu-
setts soon after the Revolution. He was one of Washington's Life Guards. = Stratton, and Stratton Mountain (2000 ft.), Windham County, Vt., were
named for Hezekiah Stratton 's family of Northfield, who owned lands in = that
vicinity. He and his six sons gave their country valiant service in the
French and Indian War.
Stratton, Neb., received its name from Zaccheus Stratton, a descendant = of
Mark Stratton of New Jersey (1713).
Stratton, Va., was named for Francis A. Stratton of Mt. Vernon, N. Y.,
who owned large tracts of coal and timber land in that vicinity.
Stratton ville. Pa., was named for John Stratton, one of its first = settlers,
coming from Evesham, N. J., to Pennsylvania about 1820.
Stratton Falls, Delaware County, N. Y., received the name from the = Strat-
tons who settled at Roxbury soon after the Revolution, coming from Sims- = bury, Conn.
Church-Stretton, romantically situated in a
beautiful little vale of Staffordshire, derives its
name from the location of its church near the an-
cient Watling Street, which here lies parallel with
the road from Shrewsbury to London. The old-
est part of the church was built in the fourteenth
century. {Page 7.)

STRATTON ARMS
"Might I but know thee by thy household Badge."
Shakespeare, Henry IV.
S the name Stratton had several origins, so there are several
coats of arms belonging to different
lines of Strattons. Burke's Encyclopedia of
Heraldry gives no less than eight different \
arms of Stratton (Stretton, Straton, Stratoun),
while Foster's Feudal Arms gives three not
found in Burke. How many of these are S|^^fe^^^i^ |
registered can be determined only by submitting the list to the College of Arms in London.* The arms of the Lauriston, and v
the Shotley Strattons are already determined,
and are correctly given on other pages of this volume.
A few others, from Burke's Armory, are here given for those
Strattons who may be interested in the study of this subject: t
* At the College of Arms, or Herald's College (founded in 1464 by Edward IV and chartered by Richard III in 1483) are registered all the arms granted
since the College was founded, as well as many older ones. Some of the old
families who were "ancient" when the College was founded refused to register
their arms, and their descendants are even better entitled to bear arms than
many later families who paid fees for grants in the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries. The official opinion of the College, however, is final on all questions
of Arms.
The compiler has found these, and other Coats of Arms, in the = possession
of Strattons in this country in several cases handed down through three or
four generations, and preserved as of interest in having been assigned = to per-
sons of our names in the past. Which of them may belong to American = Strat-
tons by "inherited right" only future investigation will show. "There is = no
way of fixing authority for use of Arms but by tracing back the line to = an
armigerous ancestor, either on record at the College of Arms, or who = used
Arms unquestioned before the time of the Commonwealth." Lea.

Foster s Feudal Arms mentions a Seign-
ior de Stratton, who was knighted by Edward III at the ca-
pitulation of Calais in 1343. Arms: "Or, two bars and in the
cantel an escutcheon gules."
In Knights of England, by Wm. A. Shaw, are the following:
Richard de Stratton, 1303 (in list of Knights of the Bath; Gilotus
de Stratton, Knt. by Edward the Black Prince, in the campaign
which ended in Battle of Poitiers, 1355; William Stretton, by
Henry VIII at York Place (now Whitehall), London.
As a general rule the simpler the arms the older they are. The
arms of the Shotley Strattons are crusader's
arms, pnre and simple, and if search were
made it would in all probability be found that
an early Stratton achieved' distinction in the
crusades. It is well known that the escallops
(see Arms of Stratton, Suffolk) were used by
the pilgrims in the crusades, and were often
added to the arms of the gentle pilgrim after his
return from the Holy Land.
The colors on the arms represented on these
pages are indicated by the markings usually used stretton ( )
in engravings and on seals:

Stratton (Shotley)
arms of the Shotley
The five besants on the Shotley arms also suggest its origin.
Boutell says: "The besant, in heraldry, apparently derived its
name from the Byzan-
tine coins that the cru-
saders, when in the
East, actually fixed
upon their shields."
For those Strattons
who are interested in
heraldry, this embla-
zonment of the Sulyard
arms is given below, as
Stratoun (Scotland) a good example of the
"quartering of arms."
(Visition of Suffolk, 1561.) Notice the
Strattons in the lower right hand corner:

Note: Sir John Sulyard m. a daughter of
John Andrews and his wife Elizabeth, daughter
and heir of John Stratton of Suffolk. John
Andrews was son and heir to James An-
drews, who m. a daughter of William Wey- ^rms of Sulyard

SOURCES OF GENEALOGICAL MATERIAL IN
ENGLAND *
" This shall be written for the generations to come." Psalms cii, 18.
FROM the records in the Public Record Office, London, may be
gleaned a great amount of material on the early Strattons.
Many of these are not easy to translate. Some are in Latin, others
in old English. They are usually dated by giving the time from
the succession of the reigning king. The following from the Pipe
Series, Recusant Rolls, 5 Charles I, will give some idea of the
difficulties encountered by the student in deciphering these an-
cient documents:

for the compiler by the well-known genealogist, J. Henry Lea, and is = from
original records.

LISTS OF STRATTON WILLS
The most prolific sources of genealogical information are the
early wills. In the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, Somerset
House, London, are recorded forty-one Stratton wills and adminis-
trations from 1412 to 1720. Sixteen of these are marked "beyond
the seas," or "abroad," showing that these Strattons had left
England before 1720. A list of these wills and administrations
has been obtained and several of them abstracted for this volume.
Early Stratton wills are found in other English courts.

Note: Those marked * have been abstracted for this Book
of Strattons.
"Pts," as used below, means "in parts beyond the seas,"
"abroad."

Facsimile or Letter from King Charles II to Charles Straton of
Lauriston Castle. (Pages 38-42)
EARLY STRATTONS IN GREAT BRITAIN
"Peculiar interest always clusters around the beginnings of things." = Lyon.
THREE distinct lines of Strattons have been especially studied
in Great Britain:
Stratons of Lauriston, 1124-1904.
Strattons of Shotley, 1392-1631.
Strattons of Shrivenham, about 1530-1660.
Of the Lauriston Line it is not yet proven that any settled
in America before the Revolution, although tradition says that = the line was represented here in colonial days. (See Stratons
of Lauriston.)
Of the Shotley Line, while it is known that two settled in
America as early as 1628, proof is yet wanting to show that they
have descendants by the name of Stratton living here to-day.
(See Strattons of Shotley.)
Considerable space is given in the following pages to these two
lines, because they contain much of general interest, and be-
cause they show what might be done in other lines if a sufficiently
thorough research could be made.
From the Shrivenham Line several emigrants had settled in
America before 1660, and from them many Strattons of the present
generation in the United States have been satisfactorily traced in
lineal descent. (See Strattons of Shrivenham.)
A glance at Chart 1, and at the outline on pages 62 and 63,
will show that others of these lines may have settled in America
and have descendants here to-day. The Stretton Arms on
page 12 is thought to belong to the Shrivenham line. Proof is
lacking.
It is ardently hoped that further research may soon be under-
taken in England to trace the Shrivenham line back to the origin
of this name, and establish the coat of arms to which it is en-
titled, as has been done in the Lauriston and Shotley lines.

Straton (Lauriston)
SCOTLAND THE LAURISTON LINE
Arms: Argent 4 bars embattled counter embattled sable, over all an es-
cutcheon gules. Crest, an eagle, displayed, on hand in armor, couped
at wrist.
Lauriston Castle,* the home of the Stratons for more than
four hundred years, is in the Parish of St. Cyrus, Kincardineshire,
Scotland. The name, in this instance, origi-
nated from the lands of Straton, near Edin-
burgh, which were granted by David I to
Alexander, filius Roberti, in the twelfth cen-
tury. The records begin with this Alexander,
son of Robert, about 1100, and some branches
are traced down to the present generation
(1907).
It was to this line that the Charles Straton
belonged who brought to the king the news of
the surrender of Edinburgh castle. To this line
belonged, also, "our trusty and welbeloved

Andrew Straton of the eighteenth generation in this line,
had a son Andrew, who, tradition says, is the ancestor of some
American Colonial Strattons. The compiler has found no proof
of it. A more extended research would doubtless bring to
light much interesting material, and might prove that others of
this long line are represented among the Strattons in our country
to-day.
Much of the information concerning this line is from records
kindly given the compiler by Dr. Charles R. Straton, of County
Wilts. Eng. (eldest son of the last-named Charles in the outline
above), and is largely from manuscript in his possession.* Dr.
Straton has a son. Captain Charles Henry Straton, and a grandson
Charles Noy Straton and so the lineal line has been traced
through twenty-five generations, from Robert, father of Alexan-
der de Straton, born in Scotland before 1100, to little Charles
Noy Straton, born in India, in 1904.
May not equally long and interesting "trees" be in store for
the several lines of American Strattons whose ancestry has not
yet been traced back of Colonial days?
* This outline, given above, shows but one branch, i. e. one son in each = generation. The records of the collateral branches fill many pages of = manu-
script. The Strattons whom the compiler has found in this country = belonging
to this line have settled here within the last two generations. Most of = them
spell the name "Straton." It is quite possible, however, that others = came at
an earlier date and perhaps in Colonial Days.

The Shotley Line 43
ENGLAND THE SHOTLEY LINE
Arms: Argent, on a cross sable, five besants.
In the eastern part of England, about seventy-five miles from
London, near the extreme end of the peninsula formed by the
rivers Orwell and Stour stands the village of Shotley, or, as it is
called in Domesday, "Scoteleia." Another name commonly
coupled with the place in ancient records is Kirketon, frequently
abbreviated into Kirton, and signifying, as we gather from the
form it takes in Domesday ''Cherchetuna" the town or = hamlet
of the church.
Directly opposite the village of Shotley, looking across the
estuary of the united rivers, may be seen the town of Harwich,
with its crowded shipping; and, beyond the town, a glint of the
open sea. Dovercourt, where Richard Stroughton, or Stratton,
was vicar in the early part of the sixteenth century, lies a little
further south. A ferry boat plies between Harwich and Shotley
Gate, as the pier or landing place is called. Ipswich, nine miles
away, may be reached either by the Orwell or by road; and it
was no doubt by the latter that Thomas Stratton, squire of
Shotley, travelled when he proceeded to Ipswich, in the twenty-
seventh year of the reign of good Queen Bess, to obtain from the
magistrates of that town licence for Mistress Dorothy, his wife,
to "eat fieshmete during the Lenten season," because of some
infirmity with which she was then afflicted.
"A note of all such Persons as be lycenced to eat fieshmete this
lent season by the Bayliffs of Ipswich according to the Orders &
directions of Her Maties Most Honorable Pvy Councell:
" Dorothie the wief of Thomas Stratton gent."
1585, Ipswich Court Books.
Coming up the gentle slope of Shotley Street from the Gate,
one descries ahead, crowning a moderate eminence overlooking
the Haven of Orwell, the odd structure known as Shotley church.
According to Domesday, two churches stood in this parish in the
time of the Conqueror, but one of these has long since crumbled
into dust, its very site being now unknown. As it fell into disuse
and ruin as it appears to have done at a very early period = the
44 A Book of Strattons
religious interests of the community centered more and more in the
remaining church, and hence in course of time that part of the
parish in which it stood came to be known as Kirketon, or Church-
town, as distinguished from Shotley proper.
On the present church time has laid its hand heavily. The
ancient upper tower has totally disappeared. The Chapel of St.
Anne probably stood at the east end of the north aisle. No trace
of it now remains, nor is there anything to indicate the window
towards the construction, or completion, of which Edmund
Stratton in 1474 contributed his six shillings and fourpence.
The church has no stained glass. (See Will of Edmund
Stratton.)
Unpretentious as the church is in outward appearance, the in-
terior is greatly admired for its "elegance" by which term, it = is
to be feared, is intended the beauty of the restoration carried out
by the incumbent in 1745, rather than the chaste architecture of
the more ancient roof or windows. Certainly the 1745 chancel,
with its finely carved reredos, its oak panelling, and its chancel
arch of wood, is interesting work of its kind; but one regrets the
disappearance of the older chancel, and deplores the inconsiderate
care with which every vestige of funeral monuments, mural tab-
lets, and memorial inscriptions has been removed, obliterated, or
hidden from view. The lofty thirteenth-century arch from the
nave into the tower, which was then bricked up, but has within
recent years been opened out again, could better be spared than
these. All have disappeared. Of the members of the Stratton
family who, as we learn from the wills, were laid to rest within
the church, not a trace remains. Their only surviving monument
in the parish is the ancient manor house, still known as Kirkton
Hall, and the entries in what remains of the earlier parish registers.
These are unfortunately onl}^ too few in number. Everything
relating to the baptisms, marriages and burials of the family, as
it was before the year 1571, is lost. From that date onwards the
burial register is intact; but the registers containing the marriages
and baptisms are missing. On turning out the parish chest a few
fragmentary sheets of ancient paper remnants of the original
register were found adhering to the iron bottom. From these
three Stratton baptisms were gleaned. They are written in a
much bolder hand than the other entries amongst which they

appear, thus indicating that the family so honored was one of
importance in the parish.*
The Chantry Certificates in the Public Record Office in London
for the year 1546 show that there was anciently attached to the
church of Shotley a chantry endowed with lands to the value of =C2=A37
a year. Of this sum lis. went to the poor; the remainder to a
priest to sing masses in the church for the souls of the departed.
Such, at least, was the intention of the founder, one Richard
Stroughton or Stratton, clerk, sometime curate of the church of
Harwick, afterwards vicar of that church and of the adjoining
church of Dovercourt.

Whether he was a member of the Shotley family, we cannot say
with certainty, but the fact of his having founded the chantry
there in order that masses might be said for the souls of his father
and mother, as well as for his own, would seem to indicate either
that he was of the Shotley Strattons or very nearly related to
them.

The priest for whose maintenance he thus provided did not long
continue to sing for the souls of the departed in the old church
overlooking the Orwell and the Stour. Long ere the 99 years of
the original enfeoffment had expired the Reformation came, and
with it the wholesale confiscation of lands demised to " pious uses "
such as this. The chantry lands of Shotley thus became the prop-
erty of the Crown, and Edward the Sixth, having founded a Gram-
mar School at Bury St. Edmunds, conferred them upon that school
as part of its endowment. Something of their later history is un-
folded in the Chancery suit, "The Town of Bury St. Edmunds v.
Edward Goodling and others," One of the defendants in this ac-
tion was "Stratton, widow." This was none other than Mistress
Dorothy, relict of Thomas Stratton of Shotley, gentleman, and
mother of Joseph Stratton, probably the first of the name to
adventure his fortune in the New World. She died early in the
year 1617, having in the meantime married again; and John
Stratton, her eldest son, administered her estate.
The Bill of Complaint of the Governors of the Free Grammar
School of King Edward the Sixth in Bury St. Edmunds co.
Suffolk, dated 7 May, 1599:
The said Governors are seised in their demense as of fee n the
Chauntrie of Kirketon alias Shotley and in lands called Hanslett
Stirpe, Hailes, Crowes Tenement and Cokes lying in Kirketon
alias Shotley and in Shelympton alias Chelmston to the said
Chauntries sometyme belonging; all which Chauntrie and lands the
said late King by his Letters Patent did graunte for the maynten-
aunce of the said School. But nowe one Edward Goodinge gent and
others, viz. Robert Knappe, (blank) Stratton, widowe, John Mer-
rells, Thomas Lewgar gent, William Dawes and divers others have
wrongfully entered into the said Chauntrie lands and do wrongfuUie
take the whole yssews thereof to their own uses, to the eveill ex-
amplesof others and to the hindrance of godlye and charatable uses.
The Answer of Edward Goodinge, one of the defendants, to the
above Bill of Complaint, dated 8 June 41 Eliz.:
This defendant saith it is very trewe that the Governors of the
48 A Book of Strattons
said School were about xxiiij yeres since seised of and in the said
Chauntrie lands; but it is likewise very trewe that before those
lands came into the possession of the said Governors, they were
letten to ferme for the term of four score and nynetene yeres.
These leases the predecessors of the said Governors, about xvj
yeres since, did confirm by charter; which charter this defendant
is prepared to produce in support of his title.
Cha?i. Proc. Eliz. B. 14:25 P. R. Office, London.
Kirkton Hall or, as it is now commonly called, Shortly Hall =
is in all probability the same as that referred to in the Stratton
wills as the family residence, although little of the present building
is of earlier date than about 1630. It is a picturesque half-timbered
house, of no great size, having the older part much rebuilt and
added to. Internally it has been sadly cut up and altered. For-
merly the inmates entered a spacious hall-place, which ran sheer
up to the height of the roof. The upper portion of this hall has
long since been converted into chambers.*
Kirkton Manor is still called by that name. It appears to have
come into possession of the Strattons through the marriage of
Isabell, daughter and heir of Sir William Loudham, with one of
the early Strattons of Levington. The eldest son of this marriage,
Walter de Stratton, died seized of the Manor in 1392. He was the
immediate progenitor of the Strattons of Shotley, who held the
Manor until about 1627, when it was sold by Ann Stratton, relict
of John of Shotley and Ardleigh, and John her eldest son.f
* This property passed out of the hands of the Stratton family about = 1630,
having been sold by John Stratton, Jr., and his mother Ann Stratton when = they were making preparations for coming to America. The present owner = is
Mr. Berners of Woolverstone, who kindly sent the compiler the picture of = Shotley Hall.

The Shotley Line 49
In his will, dated 15 April, 1596, Thomas Stratton of Shotley
speaks of John Morgan of Ipswich, gentleman, as "my cousin,"
and devises to him in trust all his lands excepting only those = forming the jointure of Dorothy his wife until John Stratton,
his son and heir, then a minor, should attain the age of one and
twenty years. (See Will of Thomas Stratton.)
John Morgan lived in the parish of St. Clement's, Ipswich a
parish from very early times the resort of all the better class of
seafaring men of this busy and enterprising seaport. Under the
shadow of St. Clement's dwelt the "mariners," the "master
mariners," and the shipwrights of Ipswich men who built their
own ships and sailed them into every part of the commercial
world.
It was into contact with such men as these some of them sea-
soned sailors who had many a time made the vo3'age into those
mysterious "parts beyond the seas" of which the landsman
dreamed, others of them lads like themselves, sweating out the
days of their apprenticehood at capstan and halliards that the = young Strattons were brought, and probably almost daily. From
the windows of the old Hall at Shotley one could watch their ships
come and go. From Shotley Gate one could board them, with the
aid of a boat, what time they came crawling into Orwell Haven,
weather worn and heavy from some distant voyage, yet redolent
withal of their rich cargoes of East Indian spices or Virginia
"leaf." The house at Dedham where Thomas Stratton died was
a matter of only an hour's hard rowing down the winding reaches
of the Stour; the house of Ardleigh, where John Stratton ended
his days, rather less.
In this way we can imagine the glamour of the sea, and of those
marvellous lands which lay beyond it, laying its spell upon the
young Squires of Shotley. Other influences were at work there,
too. It was at Trimley St. Mary, just across the Orwell rom
Shotley, that Thomas Cavendish, the circumnavigator, was born;
Edmund Stratton died 17 E. 4, 1477 (sic)
Augustine Stratton elk. son and heir 1477 (Brothers. See will of = Edmund.)

Thomas Stratton gent son and heir died 29 Eliz. (sic)
John Stratton son and heir (died 1627).
50 A Book of Strattons
from Ipswich Old Quay that he sailed away, whilst Joseph Stratton
was yet a boy, on that ill-fated voyage from which he never re-
turned. Not so far away lay also the village of Grundisburgh,
the birthplace of the first Englishman Captain Bartholomew
Gosnold to make the direct voyage to New England, and to
winter upon its shores. Gosnold had brought back wdth him a
new tuber, called *'patatoe," and there was much speculation as
to whether it would grow in English soil and prove suitable food
for English people. And last, but by no means least, there was
the unprecedented action of the staid old Council and Portmen
of Ipswich Town, who, at a recent Great Court holden in Moothall
4 March, 8 James I. had actually "adventured" the = sum of
One Hundred Pounds, out of the town moneys, *'in the voyage
into Virginia."
Out from under such influences came Joseph Stratton to Vir-
ginia and John Stratton to New England, in 1628.
A more extensive research would probably show that other
Strattons came to America from the same locality and possibly
from the Shotley line.

John Havell ser., John Wilton
Proved 19 May 1627 by Ann Stratton the relict and John Strat-
ton the son executors.
John Stratton the testator died at Ardleigh in Essex the
parish adjoining Dedham and was buried at Shotley. John his
son must have been of age on or before 19 May, 1627, else he could
not have obtained probate of the will. Careful search was made
in the Close Rolls, at the Public Record Office, London, for the
Indenture of sale of the Manor of Kirkton, but without success.
Failure to discover it is probably due to the fact that the in-
dentures there enrolled are calendared Under The Names of
Grantees Only. In this case the names of the Grantors only are
known."

{Pages 61 and 98)
Interior of Shrivenham Church
(Page 64)
The Shrivenham Line 61
ENGLAND THE SHRIVENHAM LINE
Shrivenham is a parish of Berkshire, about seventy miles west
of London. The picturesque old village of Shrivenham, with its
thatched houses, some of them more than four centuries old, is
situated near a remnant of an old Roman road.
How early the Strattons were in Shrivenham has not been
learned. It is quite probable that one of the origins of the name
was in this region. The earliest Stratton will of Berkshire in the
Prerogative Court of Canterbury was probated 1593 (31 Nevill).
Earlier wills might be found in other courts. Mention is made,
on the Hundred Rolls, of Strattons in Northhampton and Oxford,
just north of Berkshire, in the time of Edward I. A more extended
research than the compiler has been able to make would doubt-
less reveal much of interest and might trace the line back to the
origin of the name.
From Burke's "Landed Gentry" we find that Thomas Strat-
ton was buried in the churchyard at Shrivenham in April, 1587.
His wife, Joan, died seven years earlier. They had a son
Thomas, whose eldest son married Anne Locke (an aunt of John
Locke the philosopher), and from them is descended John
Locke Stratton of Turweston House, Buckinghamshire, and
George Stratton, Barrister-at-law, and M. P. for Leicester and
Northampton.
William Stratton died in Shrivenham in 1604. In his will he
calls himself an "aged man," from which we infer he was born
in the first half of the sixteenth century. As he named one of his
daughters, Joan, and speaks of his cousin Thomas Stratton, it
seems very probable that he was a son of Thomas and Joan
Stratton of Burke's "Landed Gentry."
He is the ancestor of many Strattons in America to-day. (See
the following genealogical outline.)
The churchyard in which William Stratton and his wife were
buried (see his will, page 64) contains many old stones from which
centuries of time have entirely effaced the inscriptions. The old
church, built before 1500, in which services are still held every
Sabbath, was the place of worship for at least twelve generations
of Strattons.

ton and my son-in-law% James Saunders."
The executor, John Stratton, proved the will in the Prerogative
Court of Canterbury 12th of May, 1604. To obtain the relative
value of these legacies, then and now, they must be multiplied by
at least ten. This gives a value of about $5,000, besides the
"residue" which was probably by far the greater part of his
estate left to his son John. Nothing more has been learned = about
this John Stratton. It is quite probable that he had other children
besides the William mentioned in his father's will. His own will
has not been found.*

don in 1599, then aged fourteen years. f In the records of his

company he is described as "son of John Stratton of Shriven-
ham."
At the end of his seven years' apprenticeship, at the age of
twenty-one, he became a free citizen of London, where he resided
for twenty-five years, in the parish of St. Leonard, in Eastcheap,
at that time in the heart of the old city. He married EHzabeth
about 1612, and the records of the = baptisms of their
children are found in the parish register. In 1635 Elizabeth died,
and was buried at St. Leonard's, June 12. Soon after the death
of his wife, AVilliam Stratton gave up his business in London and
retired to Tenterden, in the county of Kent. He married, second,
Margaret (a widow with two daughters), who became
the mother of his three younger children, born in Tenterden.
He made his will May 31, 1647, and died within the year. In this
will he describes himself as "jurat," and is so described in the
parish register at Tenterden.*
His wull is in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury; following is
a full abstract of it:
"My executor to pay to my wife Margaret, 1,045 pounds, as
agreed upon before our marriage; to my daughter, Elizabeth, 140
pounds, at her marriage, or when twenty years of age, and a trunk
of linen appointed by her mother; to my sons John, Thomas and
Nathaniel, each 120 pounds, when 23 years of age; to Caleb, my
son, 110 pounds when 23; to Joseph, Benjamin and Samuel, my
sons, each 100 pounds, when 23; to Bartholomew, my son, 90
pounds when 23; to my daughter, Sarah Pickering, 10 pounds for
her children; to my wife's daughters. Rose and Margaret, each
10 shillings. All the rest of my estate to William, my son, and he
to be my executor."
It will be seen that his bequests to his wife and younger children
amount to a little more than =C2=A32,000. Colonel Chester thinks
it only reasonable to presume that the portion given his eldest son
was as much more. Multiplying by ten to give the equivalent at
the present day, makes =C2=A340,000, or S200,000. " It is clear enough
that he was one of the solid and substantial middle-class men of

his day, a result obtained, no doubt, during his business career
of a quarter of a century in London." *
Of the sons of WilUam Stratton of Tenterden, who settled in
America, Bartholomew and Caleb in Boston, and Richard and
John on Long Island, three, at least, have descendants living
here to-day. f Richard, it will be noticed, is the only son not
named in his father's will in 1647. He was twenty-three years of
age in 1642, the age at which the other sons were to receive
their portions of the father's estate. He had probably been given
his portion and emigrated from Tenterden to America, settling
on Long Island, where we find him in 1643; and where his brother
John followed a few years later. (See Early Strattons of Long
Island and Early Strattons of Boston.)
* Nearly all the data here given on this branch of the Strattons was = kindly
furnished the compiler by Mr. S. V. Stratton of Mississippi, and was = obtained
for him in London by the late Col. Joseph Lemuel Chester, the well known = American antiquarian.
t While there is no actual proof that Richard and John Stratton of = Tenter-
den and Richard and John Stratton of Long Island are the same, Colonel
Chester, after a most exhaustive and thoughtful research felt fully = convinced
that such was the case, and the compiler has found no reason to doubt = it.

Chester adds, "while admitting that this evidence might not be = sufficient to
contest an estate at law, I submit that morally it is of the strongest = character."

STRATTONS IN AMERICA

Nothing's so hard but search will find it out." Herrick,

This facsimile of an old document in Boston Courthouse,

COLONIAL STRATTONS
'Tis as easy to be heroes as to sit the idle slaves
Of a legendary virtue carved upon our fathers' graves."
Lowell.
THE first Strattons of whom any mention has been found in
colonial records came to America in 1628, just twenty-one
years after the settlement at Jamestown.
In this year, Joseph Stratton of Harwich, Eng., came to
James City, Va., and his nephew, John Stratton of Shotley,
came to New England.
Before another twenty-one years had passed several more than
the traditional "three brothers" had crossed the Atlantic and
settled in the New World, while others still had visited our
shores but left no evidence of having settled here.
Before Colonial days were ended the descendants of these early
Strattons were numerous and widely scattered. On the Revolu-
tionary War Records we find no less than one hundred and twelve
names of Strattons who took part in the struggle for American
Independence, the name being found on the Revolutionary
Rolls in nine of the thirteen original States.
The following outline shows the Colonial Strattons who are
known to be emigrants, and others not yet (1907) traced to any
earlier American ancestor, with place of settlement, and date = of
first mention so far found in Colonial records :

70 A Book of Strattons
Of the sixteen Strattons named in this outline, thirteen are
known to have descendants Uving in the United States to-day.*
The ancestry of the first two, Joseph of James City, and John
of Salem, is very fully and interestingly traced back to = Walter
de Stratton of Suffolk, England, in 1329. (See The Shotley Line.)
The two Boston emigrants Bartholomew and Caleb were
from Tenterden, England, and were great-grandsons of William
Stratton of Shrivenham. Their line back to about the middle of
the sixteenth century is given on another page of this volume.
That Richard and John of Long Island were elder brothers of
Bartholomew and Caleb, there seems no reason to doubt. f (See
Long Island Strattons.)
The English lines of Samuel of Watertown and Thomas of the
eastern shore have not yet been determined. J
Of the next three, John of Watertown, Edward of Bermuda
Hundred and John of Woodbury, the most diligent research has
failed to find any trace earlier than the dates given, or the least
clew to any connection with any earlier Strattons. =C2=A7
Of the last five Strattons named in the outline, it can now only
be said that while it seems ver}^ probable that they belong to
earlier American lines, the compiler has so far found no proof of
it.ll
(See "Contents" of this Volume for the pages upon which full
records of each of these Colonial Strattons are found.)
In addition to the sixteen Strattons in the above outline,
others have appeared for a short time upon Colonial records,
* Over four thousand of these descendants have been satisfactorily = traced
by the compiler. Each line, down to the fifth generation, is given in = this first
volume of A Book of Strattons. The second volume will take each line up
where this one leaves it.
t It is very much hoped that actual proof may yet be found.
t Clews, however, have been found which it is hoped will lead to the = estab-
lishment of their homes and ancestry in the old world.
=C2=A7 In this volume these three are treated as emigrants i. = e. the first of
their lines in America.
II If such is the fact, researches still being made in Connecticut, = Massachu-
eetts and New Jersey must in time find the "missing links." It is barely = possible, however, that some of these men were "after planters," coming = from
England at about the date of first mention given here in which = case the evi-
dence must be looked for in England.
Colonial Strattons 71
with no clew to their ancestry and no discovered trace of any de-
scendants:
i. WilUam Stratton, Marblehead, Mass. 1649-1658
ii. John Stratton, Maryland and Delaware 1672-1677
iii. Thomas Stratton, Maryland 1677-1686
iv. Thomas Stratton, Maryland 1729-1744
V. George Stratton, Maryland 1708-1718
vi. Anthony Stratton, of London 1697-1701
vii. William Stratton, of Bristol . 1640-1652
viii. William Stratton, mariner 1695
What little has been found concerning these men is given here:
I. From 1649 to 1658 "Mr. William Stratton" lived in
Essex County, Mass. (as shown by deeds). He owned ten acres of
land, with " ye old mill and all utensils and implements there-un-to
pertaining," near Throgmorton's Cove, in that part of Salem
which in 1649 became Marblehead. In 1657 he was in Marble-
head, and John Bradstreet was his attorney. In 1658 he had sold
his property and his name disappears from the records there.
Unavailing search has been made for any clew to his whereabouts
thereafter.*
II. In 1672 John Stratton was granted fifty acres in Dor-
chester County, Md., for "having transported himself into the
Province to inhabitant." And the name of John Stratton ap-
pears in 1672 in Queen Anne and Kent Counties, Md., and in
1677 in Newcastle County, Del. The records give nothing to
show that he became an inhabitant there, or any clew to his
residence elsewhere. (See Land Grants, Annapolis. Also, Court
Proceedings, Kent, Queen Anne and New Castle Counties.)
III. In 1677 Thomas Stratton "came into Maryland."
(Book of Land grants, patents, arrivals, at Annapolis.) t
* At this time many families were moving from that part of Massachusetts = to new colonies. Many settled in Connecticut, near Hartford. In 1641 = John
Throgmorton with thirty-six English families from Massachusetts, settled = on
the peninsula now known as Throgmortons, near Flushing, Long Island.
Ann Hutchinson came to Pellam Neck, just east of Throgmortons.

that it is impossible to decipher anything more of this entry. Many of = the
72 A Book of Strattons
In Annapolis wills, Liber C, 1682-1686, is recorded a long and
interesting will of Edmund Gibbons of Delaware River. His pos-
sessions were widely scattered, lands in Delaware, = Pennsylvania,
Carolina and New York; debts and concerns in the Barbadoes; a
debt of long standing in Virginia; cattle and horses on Long Island.
To "Brother Thomas Stratton and his wife" is bequeathed "the
plantation called Mulberry Swamp (not located) and what stock
there is on it, my new chest of goods at Briggs, and my chest and
goods at New" Castle and a mare on Long Island." Thomas
Stratton is one of the executors of this will; Jonathan Naville of
Salem County, N. J., was another executor.
IV. Nothing more is found of a Thomas Stratton in Maryland
for forty-six years, and then (1729) a Thomas Stratton bought
land in Cecil County. Four years later, September 3, 1733, the
church records of St. Stephen Parish (Cecil County), give the
marriage of Thomas Stratton to Hannah Mannering (or Man-
waring) .
August 28, 1734, and March 30, 1739, Thomas Stratton and
wife Hannah sign deeds to two tracts of land in Cecil County,
one called "Hispanola," the other "BuUen's Ridge." February,
1744, Thomas Stratton quitclaims to Martin Alexander of Cecil
County all rights to a large tract of land known as "Knowlwood."
This is a quaint old deed beginning:
"To all Christian people to whom these presents shall come.
Know ye that Thomas Stratton, of Kent County, in the Territory
of Pennsylvania (now Maryland) sendeth greetings. Know ye
that said Thomas Stratton for valuable considerations him there-
unto moving, hath remised, released and for ever quit-claim," etc.
No wife joins him in signing this deed, and then his name dis-
appears from the records there, and nothing more is known of
him. *
leaves of the book crumble into pieces upon being handled." = Kirk Brovm,
Baltimore.
* Cecil County, Md., was taken from Baltimore County in 1673. It joins
New Castle County in Delaware. Salem County, N. J., is just across the = river
in New Jersey. Kent County was established in 1640. The history of these = counties is closely connected. William Penn, it will be remembered, as = well
as Lord Baltimore, claimed this vicinity to the Atlantic. Many Quakers
settled here. Strattons from Long Island settled in Salem County, N. J., = as
early, at least, as 1716.

Colonial Strattons 73
V. In 1708 (November 1st) Jacob Neal of Kent County, Md.,
appoints "my good friend George Stratton" (or Strutton)
executor of his will.
In 1718 the will of George Stratton of Cecil County, gentleman,
is probated.* No sons are mentioned. His estate goes to his two
daughters, Mary Stratton and Elenor, wife of Cornelius Tobin
(Annapolis Wills, Liber J. C. & W. B.).
VI. In 1697-1699 Captain Anthony Stratton, mariner, of
London, had some claims in the province of Maryland. May 1,
1701, he is diseased, and Richard Branch of Talbott County, Md.,
enters caveat against any person administering on his estate.
(Annapolis Wills, Liber 18, Folio 43).
VII. William Stratton, mariner and merchant, of Bristol,
Eng., appears several times in American ports, bringing goods and
passengers. In 1644 he is master of the "Rain Bow," then in
port in Boston. In 1646-1648-1649 he has power of attorney to
transact business for parties in Boston, Charlestown and London.
In 1642 Hugh Jones, John Abbott and John Vinning came over
in "Mr. Stratton 's ship." f
VIII. In November, 1696, a "Mr. William Stratton" pre-
sented a petition to the council and assembly at New Castle, Del.,
concerning the brigantine "Tryall," of which he was then master.
Associated with him was "Mr. E. Stratton." The same case was
in court in Boston, January, 1697-1698.
The brigantine was "taken in New Foundland waters." There
is no evidence that these mariners ever had a residence in America.
Could this have been the William Stratton, mariner and mer-
chant, of Bristol, who appeared on our shores fifty-five years
earlier?
* The administrators of this will are "held and firmly bound unto the = Right
Hon. Charles Baltimore, in full and just sum of =C2=A3100. sterling = money of Eng-
land." The will is returned by Matheas Vanderhuyden, Deputy Commis-
sioner who married a daughter of Augustus Herman, one of the = most promi-
nent men of his day in Maryland. Herman and his family lived at "Bohemia = Manor," in Cecil County. Mannering (or Manwaring) Hall was near Bohemia
Landing.
t William Aspinwall, Recorder of Suffolk County, Mass., gives twelve
references to this William Stratton, of Bristol. See Aspinwall's = Records, pub.
THE FIRST STRATTONS IN AMERICA
"What is all this worth?" Abbe Roynal.
JOSEPH STRATTON OF JAMES CITY, VIRGINIA
{See Chart 1)
THE first Stratton to appear on Colonial records was Joseph
Stratton/ youngest son of Thomas Stratton of Shotley and
Ardleigh. (See Strattons of the Shotley Line.)* He came to Vir-
ginia in the spring of 1628 the same season of the year in = which
twenty-one years earlier the first little colony sailed up the beauti-
ful James River to the site of Jamestown. Doubtless Joseph
was as charmed as were they with this "land of flowers" in the
season of its beauty the "Good Land," as the Indians called = it.
By his father's will Joseph was to have "=C2=A3100 at 21, and =C2=A35
yearly after his age of 14." In 1621 he seems to have been in
Shotley and by the will of his brother John was given " 10 shil-
lings to buy him a ring." In 1623 he was living in Harwich, just
across the River Stour from Shotley. In April, 1628, he came to
Plymouth and "sete saile for to goe to Virginia." He married
Joan , whether in England or Virginia is not yet known. f
When the House of Burgesses assembled, March 24, 1629, we
find Joseph Stratton a member of the same less than a year = after
his arrival in the colony.
He represented Nutmeg Quarter, Denheigh County. Two
years later he was again in Burgess, representing Nutmeg Quarter
and Waters Creek (called Watts Creek on maps of to-day).
In 1635 he owned 500 acres of land at Nutmeg Quarter. One
* See pedigree and history of Shotley Strattons, in Part I of this = Volume.
t The records at Shotley and Dedham show nothing of him later than 1621. = The registers at Harwich and Ardleigh have not been searched. One of = them
may contain his marriage record and possibly baptisms of his = children. He
could not have been far from thirty-five years of age when he came to
America.
76 A Book of Strattons
entry says this land was "granted him/' another that he "bought
it from the attorney of Sir Frances Wyatt." (Virginia Land
Grants.)
On this land Joseph Stratton was apparently living in 1639, and
that same year George Stratton was appointed "Viewer of the
tobacco crops," (according to Act of Assembly, 1639), from Waters
Creek to the lower port of the County," while John Stratton was
appointed to the same office in Lower Norfolk County.* (Robin-
son's manuscript.)
In 1640 Joseph Stratton was still living in Virginia (Lechford's
Notes). No record of his death has been found, but on the 2d of
June, 1641, Joan Stratton, "relict of Joseph Stratton, late of
James City in Virginia" was commissioned by the prerogative
court of Canterbury, Eng., to administer his estate.
Joan was probably then in England, but whether she came
there after her husband's death, or before, or whether or not
she was ever in Virginia, is one of the still unsolved Stratton
problems.
All recognized sources of information in Virginia have been care-
fully searched for farther data, but without avail.
It is possible that he is the ancestor of the Strattons who appear
later in other Virginia counties.
Some stray item, from some unlocked for source, may yet come
to light to prove this for the present nothing more is known = of
Joseph Stratton of James City.
The then Denheigh County became later a part of James City,
Warwick and Charles City Counties. Nutmeg Quarter and
Waters Creek are in what is now Warwick County. The early
records of this county and of James City have been destroyed.
Very few records of this vicinity escaped the destructive fires of
1863 and 1865. Many were destroyed at earlier dates.
* For all other knowledge we have of this John Stratton of Lower = Norfolk,
see footnote under Thomas Stratton of the Eastern shore. No other = mention
has been found of this George Stratton, of Waters C' jk. They may have
been sons of Joseph if so it is hoped that future = investigations may prove
it. So many of the old records of Virginia have been destroyed, however, = that there is little hope of finding more there. Harwich and Ardleigh = would
seem to be the most likely field for research. George and John were = doubtless
at least twenty-one in 1639, hence they were born before Joseph came to = James
City.

John Stratton of Salem 77
JOHN STRATTON OF SALEM, MASSACHUSETTS
(See Chart 1)
John Stratton, eldest son of John and Ann (Dearhaugh)
Stratton of Shotley, Eng., was born about 1606.* By his father's
will dated September 24, 1621, he was to have, at the age of 21,
certain rents from the Manor of Thurcarlton during his mother's
lifetime and the manor itself after her death. His father died in
Ardleigh, and was buried in Shotley, May 4, 1627.
Soon after his death Kirkton Manor was sold to meet the re-
quirements of the will. John Stratton, Jr., was one of the execu-
tors of this will. He must have come to America the follow-
ing year (1628), for in December, 1631, he was granted land in
Maine "in consideration for and in respect that he had lived
in New England these three years last past, and had expended
1000 li. in transporting cattle and maintaining of servants in their
imployment." (See Land Grant to John Stratton, in Part I.)
Of his movements during these three years we know nothing
more. In the latter part of 1631 he had returned to England
and was with his mother and sisters at Dedham. He was then
preparing to return to the New World, and it was probably dur-
ing this time that Thurcarlton Manor and the demesne lands
were sold.f ^,
In December, 1631, he left England to take possession of the
land that had been granted him on the coast of Maine. Near the
coast he encountered a storm, and " lost valuable papers and goods
by the casting away of a boat." Lechford's Notes.
This grant to John Stratton consisted of "2000 acres on the
coast of Maine, in the vecinity of Ogunquit and Kennebunk rivers
on the south side of Cape Porpoise, and an island near the mouth
of the Saco River." The island is opposite Black Point, a little
west of Richmond Island, and about four miles from Old Orchard.
It is still known as "Stratton Island."
Many references are found in Maine historical works to "Mr.

Stratton's" claim. Judge Southgate's History of Maine refers to
him as the first settler of Scarboro. The present city of Wells *
probably had its origin as "Stratton's plantation."
A manuscript written in 1660, and recently discovered in the
British Museum by Henry F. Waters, A. B., refers to "Wells, a
handsome well peopled place lying on both sides of a river, for
which place a patent was long since granted to one ' Mr. Stratton.' "
Felts' Ecclesiastical History of New England says: "Thomas
Jenner (who had been settled at Weymouth, but now preaching
at Saco), replying to a letter of Winthrop, writes, ' I have been
solicited, both from the inhabitants of Stratton's plantation and
from those of Caskoe to be a means to help each of them to a godly
minister, therefore I do make bold to entreat your worship to do
your endeavor to furnish them both.' "
At this time immigrants were rushing into New England.
Applications for grants became numerous, and patents were
issued without sufficient regard to definite boundaries, which
later led to litigation. In a letter dated September 27, 1641,
Thomas Gorges (" Superintendant of the affairs of Sir Ferdinand
Gorges, Knight, Lord proprietor of the Province of Mayne")
mentions this claim of Stratton's, yet granted to others (July 14,
1643) land comprised within Stratton's grant for which John
Stratton seems never to have obtained redress.
There is nothing to show that John Stratton remained long in
this vicinity. In January, 1636, he had been away from there for
some time.
March 28, 1636, "It is petitioned for Mr. Edward Godfrey
that an attachment might bee of one Brase Kettell, now in the
hands of Mr. Edward Godfrey which was belonging to Mr. John
Stratton of a debt dew now 3 years from Mr. Stratton to him."
Cook County Records, Alfred, Maine.
September 19, 1636, John Stratton was in Massachusetts Bay
Colony, and was "fined =C2=A310 for lending a gun to an Indian for
four days."
December 7, 1636, "John Stratton being fined =C2=A310 is remitted
to 10s if he goe to the Merrimack." Mass. Bay Colony Records.
Later, John Stratton, Goodman Woodward, with an Indian,
* The towTi records of Wells were burned in the destruction of the house = of

John Stratton of Salem 79
and two others, were appointed "to lay out a line three miles
north of the northermost part of the Merrimac." This line eventu-
ally became the boundary between New Hampshire and Massa-
chusetts.
August 8, 1637, "Mr. Stratton requests a farm beyond Ipswich
Pond," near Salem. March 1, 1638, this farm was "laid out to
John Stratton" 100 acres. The same year he was "admitted
inhabitant" of Charlestown and given permission to buy the
Withwell house.* He was granted other lands in Charlestown
six different lots making 63 acres in all with their rights. f = The
records at Charlestown, however, give no evidence of his ever
having lived there, and he probably lived at Salem, where, in
1638, he was granted a house lot "there being two in the family."
At this time he is styled "a merchant" and Lechford records
several notes of John Stratton, merchant. J
That he was a man of standing in those early days is shown by
the character of the men with whom he was associated, as well as
by the extent of his business transactions. About this time finan-
cial misfortunes began to overtake him. The decision in England
seems to have been against him concerning a part, at least, of
his land grant in Maine. Large debts due him in Virginia he could

church at Charlestown, and first benefactor of Harvard University. = Another

"John Stratton, gent, of Salem, made a letter of assignment and

of London." This letter was "signed, sealed and delivered in
the presence of John Winthrope Esq' Governor of the Jurisdic-
tion of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in New England."

Then we find him making this will :
"I, John Stratton, in the present letter of attorney mentioned,
doe hereby make and declare this my last will and testament
touching the suits and matters therein contained as followeth:
"My will is that if it please God that I depart this life before the
said suits and matters are finished that my attorneys, in the said
letter of attorney mentioned shall be my executors jointly and
severally to recover the premises. In testimony thereof I have
here-unto set my hand and seal."
To this will is affixed the following:
"And the said Governor do hereby certify that the above said
John Stratton did in my presence publish and declare the said
writing to be his last will and testament touching the premises
which I have granted also to testify under the said public seal."
Lechford^s Notes.
July 19, 1641, John was still in Salem, where he, with his mother
and sisters,* made a letter of attorney to Captain Edward Gibbons
of Boston and Robert Stileman, merchant, of London, to receive
from John Thurston of Hockston, Eng., the legacies left him by
this last will and testament of Mrs. Mary Dearhaugh, late of Har-
rington, County Suffolk, Eng. (See pedigree of Shotley Strattons.)
Two years later the town records of Salem show that John Stratton
is "absent" and Thomas West is to have the use of his 10 acre
* See pedigree of Shotley Strattons.
In 1637 the name of Ann Stratton, widow, appears on a list of church = mem-
bers in Salem. She was still living there in July, 1642. After this date = she may
have married again.
Elizabeth Stratton married John (son of Francis and Alice Thorndike of
Little Carlton, Eng.), of Beverly, Mass. After her death he returned to = Eng-
land, where he died in 1662 and was buried in the east cloister of = Westminister
Abbey, near his brother, Rev. Herbert Thorndike. Their son Paul = Thorndike
lived in America, and has descendants here to-day.
Dorothy Stratton was in Salem, unmarried in 1640. Some have found rea-
sons for believing that she married William Pester of Ipswich about = 1642.
He was son of William Pester, Esq., of Barnard Castle, Eng.
William Stratton, brother of John of Salem, made preparations to come to = Virginia with his Uncle Joseph in 1628. He did not come at that time, = how-
ever, and nothing has been found to show that he ever came to America. = In
a deposition taken before Lechford in 1640-41, John Stratton of Salem,
testifies that he is the "only brother & heir & next of kin = & creditor of William
Stratton, gent, of Ardleigh, in the County of Essex, Eng. deceased."
82 A Book of Strattons
lot at Derby Fort Side on condition that he " sufficiently fence
it."
And then the name of John Stratton disappears from Salem
records, and all efforts to locate him elsewhere have utterly
failed. Nothing has been found to show that the "suits and mat-
ters" mentioned in his will were ever brought to trial.*
No mention has been found of any children of his, until twenty
years later, in 1660, when we find a daughter, Anne Stratton,
then the wife of William Lake, living in Salem in the house which
John Stratton had owned in 1639.
"William Lake the husband of Anne the daughter of Mr. John
Stratton, p'l't ag'st Thomas Cauly de'f 't, in an action of the case
for witholding or refusing to give possession of a pr'cell of land,
that was formerly the land of the said John Stratton mortgaged

* One of these suits (see Lechford's Notes) was against Joseph Stratton = of
James City, to recover "debts due my father and my brother William in = their
life time."
The petition (dated December, 1641) for this suit was referred by the = Gov-
ernor of Massachusetts to the Governor of Virginia as follows: "To the = Right

certificate before written from John Endicott, Esq. and have at the = request
of John Stratton herein named granted to exemplifie the same."
We know that Joseph Stratton died before June 2, 1641. The suit was
probably settled out of court and perhaps in England.

Essex County Court Files, 16: 119.
Record of this case 29, 9""=C2=B0 1670, says: "Withdrawn."
In Essex County Deeds, 3, p. 106, is deed, dated 2, 12"=C2=B0 1670
of William Lake, Cooper, and wife Ann, of Salem, conveying 10
acres of land at Darby Fort Side, Marblehead, to Thomas Caly (or
Cauly), netmaker.*
William Lake died, and his widow married William Stevens
of Salem. The Registry of Deeds shows that on February 5, 1717,
Anne Stevens, widow, of Salem for the consideration of =C2=A320 con-
veys to Thomas Flint, Jr., " 100 acres of land granted to my
honored father Mr. John Stratton Jan. 31, 1638." The deed says:
"I am ye True, Sole, & Lawful owner of ye above Bargained
premises, as I am heir, to my father Mr. John Stratton and Law-
fully possessed of ye same in my own proper Right as a good,
perfect, & absolute estate of inheritance."
Essex County Registry of Deeds, 33: 117.
This 100 acres, Anne Stevens had placed in the care of Thomas
Flint, March 12, 1692. It was on the north side of Ipswich River, and
was the same 100 acres "laid out" to John Stratton March 1, 1638.
Anne Stratton and William Lake were married about 1660.
They had four children born in Salem between 1662 and 1675. t
He died before June 26, 1680, and her second husband, William
Stevens, died before 1685. She died after 1718.
If John Stratton left other children the most diligent research
has thus far failed to bring to light any proof of the fact, or to
reveal any clew to his residence after July, 1641.
And so for the present we must leave him
"Hidden from all research
Among the depths of Time."
* It would appear, from the case being settled out of court, that both = Lake
and Cauly had some claim on this ten acres. The bounds between Salem and = Marblehead were not well defined. (See William Stratton of Marblehead.)
Wm. Cauly died 1672, leaving wife, Mary, daughter of Benjamin Parmeter.
t Two of these children, Ann and William, died in childhood. One = daughter,
Abigail Lake, married William Allen and had at least two children, who = owned
the ancient Lake homestead in Salem in 1730. The other daughter, Mary
Lake, married Lewis Hunt of Salem, and had a daughter, Mary, who married = Paul Langdon and moved to Hopkinton.

EARLY STRATTONS OF BOSTON
" There are some persons who cannot discriminate between a taste for = pedigree
and the pride of ancestry." " English Heraldry," Charles = Boutell.
BARTHOLOMEW and Caleb Stratton of Boston, were younger
sons of William Stratton of London and Tenterden, Eng.
(See Shrivenham Strattons.) At just what date they came to
America has not been ascertained. Bartholomew is first found in
Boston in 1658; Caleb in 1660. It is quite probable that each of
these young men left England soon after coming into his patri-
mony. (See Wm. Siratton's Will, Shrivenham Line.) They owned
real estate in Boston and were rnen of standing there as shown by
their business relations and the families into which they married.
In the records of them "Mr." is usually used, a title of no = little
distinction at that day. They seem to have formed no church
alliance in Boston; there are no baptismal records of their chil-
dren. Bartholomew married a Quaker, granddaughter of the
eminent Ann Hutchinson. Caleb's wife was a daughter of Alex-
ander Adams, of Dorchester and Boston, and many of his early
descendants were Friends.
BARTHOLOMEW STRATTON ^ OF BOSTON
{See Chart A)
1. Bartholomew Stratton,^ sixth son of William Stratton, of
Tenterden, Eng., was born January 12, 1627-28. At what
date he came to New England is not known. As early as 1658
we find him married and living in Boston. In 1662 be owned land
there had owned it for some time and his house and = home lot
were valued at =C2=A360. Bartholomew, like several other early Strat-
tons, was a merchant mariner, and made several trips between
Boton and London, carrying goods and passengers. In 1665 he
was master of the ship "Unity" which had just come into port
at Boston from London.

In 1673 "Mr, Bartholomew Stratton" was employed by Mr,
Robert Marshall of Boston, to go to Piscataqua (now Portsmouth),
New Hampshire, to inspect a

Co OJjt^' V 6nJ^^ ^^ ^j^.g ^1 j^g j^g testified that
he was forty-six years old.
In 1678 he took the oath of
allegiance in Boston.
He married Eliphal Sanford, daughter of Governor John and
Bridget (Hvtchinson) Sanford of Rhode Island.* His children
and grandchildren married into families well known in Boston.
He died January 9, 1686, and is buried at Copp's Hill.t The
stone marking his grave stands nearly in the center of the Hill
and is very well preserved. The same stone bears an inscription
to Bartholomew and one to his wife, Eliphal, showing that it was
erected after January 19, 1724, the date of her death. On the
opposite side of the path, is a stone to the memory of their daughter,
Mrs. Bridget (Stratton) Ladd, who "Departed this life in the
79th year of her age," and near by, are stones marking the resting
places of three other members of the family.
Children: Borii in Boston.

* John Sanford came to Boston from Alfred, Lincolnshire, Eng., in 1631.
He was among those who were "frozen out" of Boston on account of his
Religious belief. He married Bridget, daughter of the eminent Quakeress, = Anne Hutchinson. Among the legacies in his will, dated June, 1653, is = this:
"To daughter Eliphal, =C2=A3100, of which =C2=A360 to be hers at = marriage and =C2=A340 at
her mother's marriage or death." In 1663, his Midow, Bridget, now the = wife
of Major William Phillips of Boston, took receipt from Bartholomew = Stratton,
husband of her daughter Eliphal, for this legacy. Major Phillips was a = man of
"many acres" in Maine. Saco, Maine, was headquarters of his land = interests.
t Copp's Hill, near Christ Church, is the second oldest burying ground = of
Boston, the oldest being King's Chapel Burying-ground on Tremont Street, = where the first interment was in 1630. Copp's Hill is the most = interesting as
well as the largest of the ancient burying-grounds. For a long time it = was
known as "Old North Burying-ground." The first interment here was in
1660. Here are the graves of Drs. Increase, Cotton and Samuel Mather,
Andrew Eliot, the father and grandfather of Governor Hutchinson, a = sister
of Paul Revere, and many others with Avhom the early history of Boston = has
made us familiar. This burying-ground was "ancient" at the time of the
Revolution, when many of the stones were demolished by the British
soldiers.

If there were other children, a most careful search in Boston
has failed to show any trace of them. Restcome Sanford, son of
Governor John Sanford, in his will, mentions, "my sister, Eliphal
Stratton and her three children."
2. William Stratton ^ {Bartholomew ^) was born in Boston,
January 30, 1658. Very little is known of him before his mar-
riage. We know that his mother was a Quaker. She and her
mother, Bridget Sanford, were once arrested in Boston for persist-
ing in being Quakers, but remained true to their religious belief.
Drake, in his History of Boston, and other historians of early re-
ligious belief in New England, refer to them. William was
doubtless brought up a Quaker. He married Elizabeth ,
some time before 1685. In 1695 his name appears on a list of the
residents of Boston. In the will of Bridget Sanford-Phillips, date
1696, is this legacy: "To my grandson, William Stratton, one
thousand acres of land bought of Fluellin Sumtimus (an Indian)
to his heirs and assignees forever. Also one set of silver buttons,
also a gold ring." This land has not been located. No mention
is found in any of the churches of Boston, of the baptisms of any
of his children, until in 1698, when in the Second Church of Boston
occurs this entry: Elizabeth, wife of William Stratton, was ad-
mitted member of the church and on this same day her children
were baptized "in the right of their mother." (Drs. Increase = and
* Ann Stratton ^ married Tobias Atkins. Their children were Ann and
EHphal. Ann Atkins married Samuel, son of Deacon Samuel Marshall, and
had issue: Samuel, Atkins, William, Katherine, Eliphal, Eunice = who married
Edward Ladd Sanders, and Ann who married John Stamp, and died, = a
widow, in Boston in 1786, aged 73 years, "only surviving grandchild of = Ann
Atkins." Eliphal Atkins married Samuel Tulley (or Tilley) and had issue: = Samuel, Sarah, Elizabeth, William and Eliphal, who married Samuel Swift
(graduate of Harvard; died during the seige of Boston) and had issue: = Sarah,
Ann and Eliphal. Samuel Tilley married second Elizabeth Foster.
t Bridget Stratton ^ married Robert Ladd; their children were Edward, = and
Bridget, who married William Sanders and had issue: John; Bridget (died
1775); Hannah (died before 1775), and Edward Ladd, who married Eunice
Marshall as his second wife. See will of Ann Stratton (9).

Bartholomew and Eliphal, stands a stone bearing this inscription:
" Here lies the body of Mrs. Elizabeth Stretton, wife of Mr. William

January 19, 1698, the same day that their mother was admitted
* Second Church, Boston, was organized about 1649, and a building was
erected the following year, which was burned in 1676, and rebuilt in = 1678.
It was in this house of worship that the children of Elizabeth Stratton = were
baptized. This building was destroyed by the British soldiers in 1775. = The
building now occupied by the Society of the old Second Church is on = Boylston
Street. The communion-service of the Church contains some very old and
highly interesting pieces. In the first building there were some pews = that had
special doors leading to the street.
From Boston records we learn that in 1700 "the tax of Widow Stratton was = abated." It is suggested that William^ died 1697-98, and that Elizabeth =
perhaps having been brought up in the Second Church returned = to the church
of her youth with her children. Her ancestry has not been traced. She = was
born about 1665. A study of the Elizabeths born in Boston 1664 to 1666,
would be interesting and might prove her parentage.

sisted the physician in bleeding patients, as was the old-time custom.

to membership. Unpublished records say that John was baptized
on same date. Little Bridget was then four years old; she must
have been baptized at the same time, but in some way her name
was left off the list. The dates of birth, marriage and death given
here are from Boston town records, and Copp's Hill gravestones.
Bridget and Ann were admitted to the Second Church in 1725,
and were living together in Boston in 1757, when their signatures
appear on a mortgage. Bridget died in 1769. In 1776 Ann
Stratton's "Mansion House" on Green Street, near Bowdoin
Square, was valued at =C2=A3500,* and she "owned a pew in Rev.
Mr. Howard's church." This was the year in which her will was
made, and it bears her signature in her eightieth year.

This will of Ann Stratton is the last mention we have of this
family. It will be noticed that her will names no Strattons; all
her beneficiaries are descendants of her father's sisters. Some
find in this a strong reason for believing that her brothers died
without issue. Her sisters, we know, left no descendants. On
the other hand, if her brothers, William and John, had died in
Boston it is rather strange there is no record of it. If they lived
to manhood they must have inherited lands from their father's
estate. A thorough study of land titles might locate these lands,
and give a clew to their later residence. It may he that some of
the untraced Strattons in the United States to-day are descended
from this interesting line.

CALEB STRATTON OF BOSTON
{See Chart B)
1. Caleb Stratton/ brother of Bartholomew, was baptized
at St. Leonard's, Eastcheap, London, June 10, 1635. (See Shriven-
ham Strattons.) By his father's will, 1647, he was to have =C2=A3110
at 23 years of age. We know nothing more of him until 1660,
when he is in Boston and is styled "a mariner." December 12,
1661, he bought a house and lot of William Hudson, in Boston.
July 4, 1662, John Sunderland, attorney for Caleb Stratton, sold
this property and Caleb, "having just returned from ye voyage"
signed the deed. Some time before 1662 he married Mary Adams,
daughter of Alexander and Mary (Coffin) Adams * In 1665 he
seems to be living in Hingham where the birth of his son John is
recorded, but in 1675 he is living in Boston. In 1684 his name
appears in the division of the estate of his father-in-law, Alexander
Adams, and this is the last record we have of him. No will, or
any record of his death has been found. His widow died in Bos-
ton, February 3, 1698.
Children:
-2 Elizabeth,^ b. in Boston, Feb. 24, 1665; m. 1st William
Jarvis, 2d Solomon Townsend; d. in 1713; buried at
Copp's Hill.
-3 John,^ b. in Hingham, Mass., July 6, 1670. Birth recorded
in Hingham town records. No other mention of him has
been found.
4 Samuel,^ b. March 3, 1675 (so recorded in the published
town records of Boston).!
-f-5 William,^ record of whose birth has not been found.
* Alexander Adams was of Dorchester and Boston. He was a shipwright.
His wife was a sister of Tristram Coffin, one of the nine original = purchasers of
the island of Nantucket. In the settlement of Adams estate in 1684, his = son-
in-law, Caleb Stratton, was to have the homestead. Mary Adams, wife of
Caleb Stratton, was born Jan. 19, 1641, in Boston.
t It may be that this name in the Boston records is an error, and that = the
son born March 3, 1675, was not Samuel, but William. No other mention of = Samuel has been found. Descendants of William have been traced to the
present generation. They claim that March 3, 1675, was the birthday of
William. The birth of William is not recorded in Boston, but according = to
Boston deeds William was "only son" of Caleb Stratton in 1703.
Caleb Stratton of Boston 93
5. William Stratton ^ (Caleb ^) was "only son of Caleb Strat-
ton, deceased, and Mary his wife," October 26, 1703. At this date
he conveys two-thirds of the homestead and land to Soloman
Townsand "where Townsand now lives, estate of Caleb and
Mary Stratton, from their father Alexander Adams; " also two-
thirds of " house-hold stuff;" value =C2=A348. Suff. Co. Deeds.
This homestead was "43 feet frontage on Lane to North Bat-
tery." As William was "only son" and possessed two-thirds of
his father's estate, it is inferred that his brother (or brothers) died
before 1703, without issue. His sister, Elizabeth Townsand,
probably owned the remaining one-third. William's name does
not again appear in Boston. He was evidently preparing to leave
there when he sold his two-thirds of "home-stead and house-hold
stuff." We next find him living in Nantucket in 1708, having
previously married Susanna Cartwright, daughter of Edward and
Elizabeth (Trott) Cartxcright.* Their home was in the northern
part of the town of Nantucket (the part then called "Sherburn")
near where the Jethro Coffin House still stands, built in = 1686.
In 1716 the town voted to "build a town house on the hill be-
tween William Stratton's and George Burke's.
West of No-Bottom Pond is a winding passway, connecting
Duke and Westchester Streets. At the southeast corner of its
junction with Westchester Street stood William Stratton's house.
It was on the land given him by deed of gift from James Coffin in
1712.

6. Caleb Stratton ^ (William,- Caleb ^), was born October 3,
1708, and lived and died in his native town, Nantucket. He was
a Quaker, as were many of his descendants. On the "31*' of the
ll"* month (called January) 1728-9" he married Lois Odar,
daughter of Anthony and Sarah Odar. He is called "sole adminis-
trater" of his father's estate, in a deed in which "Caleb Stratton,
chare-maker, in consideration of the sum of one hundred & eighty-
five pounds money of the old tenor," conveys to Thomas Brock
"the dwelling house and land that was lately my father's William
Stratton." This deed is dated "fifteenth day of April in the
Nineteenth year of the Reign of our Sovereign lord George the
Second by the Grace of God King of Great Brittain, France &
Ireland Defender of the faith &c anno que Domini 1746." This
was the property which William Stratton bought of Jethro Star-
buck in 1718. In 1752 Caleb Stratton and wife Lois and others,
convey to David Joy "one Cow common of the Island of Nan-
tucket" which was conveyed to them by their uncle Eleazer.
(Folger.) By another long and interesting deed (Book 7, p. 15,
Nantucket Deeds), Jonathan Small, an Indian, conveys to Caleb
Stratton, chairmaker, "a certain dwelling house at or Neare a
place called Quais," in Nantucket.
Lois Stratton died May 11, 1755, and Caleb married, 2d, Naomi
Long, who survived him and was living in 1800.
Caleb died December 6, 1786. He left no will.

1731; married Margaret Gwinn, daughter of David Gwinn of
Salem. She was born July 23, 1729. Folger says they had a
daughter, Judith,^ (24) born July 5, 1757. Friends' Records say
he was "disowned Nov. 26, 1774." Nothing more has been
found concerning him.
15. William Stratton ^ {Caleb, ^ William,^ Caleb ^), was born
August 10, 1733. He married Hepsabeth Russell, daughter of
David Russell, of Nantucket (date of marriage not found). On the
13th of April, 1787, William Stratton, mariner, deeded to Chris-
topher Stratton "all Right, Title, Interest, Estate Claim & De-
mands I have on the Island of Nantucket."
Records at Nantucket give nothing more concerning him.
Friends' Records say that he "Died abroad" but give no date.
(See footnote under William Stratton of Winsor.) A family
record says that his wife Hepsabeth died September 10, 1793,
and that they had a son William ' (25), who married Susan Sher-
man. Further information concerning him is very much de-
sired.

Benjamin was a Friend and, by trade, a cooper.
He owned considerable property on the Island. One tract of
land was deeded him by Robert and Abigail Macy "in considera-
tion of the Love, Good Will, and Neaturell afection we have and
.=C2=AB

gail Harris. He died October 20, 1793. In his will {Probate
Records, Nantucket) he gave all his real and personal estate to
his wife during life, with full power to sell it should she need
it for her support. Only one child is mentioned in the will a
daughter Hepsabeth Stratton, then deceased. At his wife's death
the property was to go to his grandsons, Edward Freeman Strat-
ton and Thomas Blin Harris. His wife disposed of the real
estate, in 1808, to Paul and Christopher Mitchell.

19. Anthony Stratton "* {Caleb, ^ William,^ Caleb ^) was born
October 23, 1730. He married Hannah Jones, who was born
July 7, 1744. Friends' Records say he was "desowned Feb. 30,
1771;" probably for marrying out of the Society. Anthony
Stratton, cordwainer, and wife Hannah sold a house and lot in
Nantucket, March 19, 1772, after which their names do not appear
there. Folger says they had no children. It is thought that they
moved to Rhode Island, and were there during the Revolution.

31. Caleb Stratton^ {Caleb, ^ William,^ Caleb ^), born April 27,
1745; married Charity Chapman of Rhode Island. He died on
board a vessel from London, April 11, 1769. Folger says he had a
son Obed ^ (35), born December 15, 1767, who married Elizabeth
Wyler, and died without issue.
23. Philip Stratton ^ {Caleb, ^ William,^ Caleb ^) was born
May 2, 1749. He married Lucretia (Clark), daughter of Paul
Paddock, and widow of Seth Clark. Friends' Records says that he
moved to Nine Partners, N. Y., February 25, 1775. Folger's
manuscript says he had no children.
From pages 95-98 it will be seen that of the eight sons of Caleb
Stratton ^ of Nantucket, all of whom lived to manhood, the de-
scendants of only one, Benjamin,'* have been traced. The com-
piler has found several families of Strattons having traditional
knowledge of descent from the Nantucket Strattons, but no au-
thentic records have been found showing from which son they
are descended. The descendants of Benjamin ^ have in their
possession an old family Bible containing entries which have
helped materially in completing the records of that branch. The
compiler has hoped and is still hoping to find data = which shall
prove to be the missing links needed to complete the records of
other branches of this line a line whose ancestry goes back to = 1530 in the old village of Shrivenham.
EARLY STRATTONS OF LONG ISLAND
"Our generation passeth away and another generation cometh."
ECCLESIASTES i, 4.
THE town of Easthampton, on the eastern part of Long Island,
was settled in 1649. The territory was bought by the govern-
ors of the colonies of New Haven and Connecticut, from the Mon-
tauk Indians and assigned to the early settlers. Among the nine
"first settlers" appears the name of John Stratton. About a year
later he was joined by his brother Richard. The two men were
prominent among the colonists. Their names appear continually
on the town records.
In all the interests and enterprises of the town in its early days
they had a part. The home lots of both Richard and John were
on the northwest side of the main street, which ran parallel with
the coast. Besides these, they owned many other lots of land,
some by allotment, in common with other proprietors; others by
purchase.* These lands were divided among their children, who
in turn continued the division, or sold them to seek homes in other
sections. Their sons and daughters married into other families of
standing and prominence. The names James, Hedges, Hand,
Conkling, Gardener, Osborne, Hull, Huntting, Mulford and Fithian
are all well known in the colonial history of Long Island and
Connecticut, and with all of them were the early Easthampton
Strattons connected by marriage.
The proprietors early attached an importance to the keeping of
a record of their "proceedings" and from these faithfully kept
records we learn to-day much of the daily life of our ancestors.!
* For allotments of land to Richard and John Stratton, see Easthampton
Town Records, Vol. II, pages 58-65.
t The first To^\Tl Clerk (1650) was Thomas Talmage (ancestor of DeWitt
Talmage, D. D.) and the oath administered reads thus:
"In being chosen recorder for the present yeare doe here sware by ye = Great
and living God yt you will at al times during this yeare for whc you are = chosen
labour with care and contiontse to record such things as shall be = lawfully
100 A Book of Strattons
The luxuriant wild grasses of the island led the early colonists
to give much attention to cattle raising and the records contain
many "ear-marks" by which the cattle of the various owners were
known; while many sheep were herded on the lands held as ''com-
monage." *
" A True discoverie of the eare markes of every mans ppr marke
of their cattell as ffolloweth: viz: Richard Stratton his marke is
cropt in the right eare & halfe the fore part of the left eare cut = off.
" John Stratton his marke is cropt in left eare & 2 slits Downe
the same eare."
E. H. Records.
There was much fishing along the coast, and during the long
winter months many engaged in whaling, going on long cruises
from which some never returned. The Strattons it seems were
more cautious and went to sea by proxy.
"Bee it known to all men by these presents that I harry Indian
and Heeler Indian boath of us doe firmly bind and engage our selves
to goe to sea for John Stratton senior and John Stratton junior
the next winter following the date here of, to kill wheals and to
have halfe they gett boath in oyle and boane and to attend all

Early Strattons of Long Island 101
"Aug. 12, 1683. This Indenture is recorded between Richard
Stratton and John Indian son of Wobberton in which said John
doth bind himselfe a servant unto ye said Richard Stratton and
with him to serve & dwell after the manner of such an apprentice
for a term of two years, and to faithfully serve and his commands
obey in all places & at all times, as a true & faithful servante = ought
to doe, & to behave himselfe in Word and deede. For this the said
Richard doth engage to pay ye sd John indian 12 pounds in
money att, or before the end of the term & to find ye said John
sufficient meate and drink. And if ye said John doth goe to sea
with consent of Richard Stratton then hee to goe upon halfe
share ye said Richard to find boate & craft sutable for a halfe
share."
From Easthampton Town Records.
One cannot help wondering if John Indian kept his part of this
contract and "behaved himselfe in Word & deede as a faithful
servante ought to doe."
The following, also, is a fine specimen of the original spelling and
quaint composition of those early records:
"March the 22th 1671-72 Att a Town metinge it is agreed and
Concluded between the Towne being one partie and Richard
Stretton the other ptie that the sd Richard is to fence the highway
that goeth to the Norwest that is the fence that lyeth nexte alonge

grant unto the aforesaid Richard Stretton eight acres of land to bee
laid out either all the reare of the second lott belonginge to the
aforesaid Richard bounded by Thomas Talmage west and Thomas
Osburne Junior east or else by another second lott belonginge to
the said Richard Stratten which is the westermost or last lott upon

this aforesaid lott or else in the other place above specified which

unto the aforesaid Richard Stratton by the Town forever upon
Consideration of the premises above specified."

RICHARD STRATTON OF EASTHAMPTON
{See Chart C)
1. Richard Stratton appears first on Easthampton records
in 1651.* In 1643 his name is on the "whale hst" at Southamp-
ton, L. I. Nothing has been found concerning him between
these two dates. t He married Elizabeth Edwards, daughter
of William Edwards. X His wull (a copy of which is in the surrogate
office in New York City) is dated April 7, 1674 and proved June,
1676, before the Court of Sessions held in Southold, L. I. He died
before August 24, 1675, at which date an inventory of his estate
was made.
The town did not record vital statistics. The church records of
births, deaths and marriages began in 1697, with Rev. Nathaniel
Huntting's pastorate.
WILL OF RICHARD STRATTON ^
The last will and testament of me, Richard Stratton Sen'r of
Easthampton, being in my perfect mind and understanding:
First. I give my soule to God who gave it and my body to ye Dust
from whence it came, and mine estate as followeth:
1 To my eldest sonne, Richard, I give my two six acres home
lotts of the 2"" Division by in next Thos. Osburn, jr. on ye south
and to Lieut. Talmage up on the north.
2 To my second sonne, Thomas, I give six acres of land out of
my home lott att the rear of its addition, the whole breadth,
fronting upon the lane one side and William Ffithean on the other
side, and I also give him my six acre lott wich belonged to my one
allott'nt lying the farthest lott beyond Abraham Hauks.
3 I give all my land both East and West to my two sonnes
above said to be equally divided betw^een them after the decease
of my wife Elizabeth Stretton excepting my land at the little
plaine and six acres more lying at the two mile hollow.
* For his birth and ancestry see Shrivenham Strattons, this Volume.
t It seems very probable that he spent these six years in Southampton.
The records of Southampton during this period are not at all complete.
J William Edwards came to Taunton, Mass., as early as 1643, moved from
there to Lynn and settled at Easthampton in 1649-50.
Richard Stratton of Easthampton 103
4 I give to my four sonnes all the meddow belonging to me and
all the commonage and what land may be laid out to me hereafter
with all privilege belonging to the said land to be equally divided
amongst them.
5 I give my home lotts and my houseing and buildings upon
the same to my wife, Elizabeth, during her life and after her
deceass to my two youngest sons, Isaac and Benjamin together
with all my land att the little plaine and my six acres of land neer
the two mile hollow. My will is also that if any of my sonnes die
without issue my other children surviving shall have their part
of land afore's'd shall have it equally amongst them.
6 I give to my daughter Elizabeth six pounds to be paid her
by my executrix (whom I appoint to be my wife Elizabeth) out
of my moveable estate when she comes of age or if she lives to be
married to be then paid her.
7 I give to my oldest sonne Richard thirty pounds to be paid
him by my executrix when he comes att age of 21 years.
8 The overseers of my will I desire to be my father-in-law
Will'm Edwards and my brother, John Stretton Sen'r.
Witness my hand and seal
Richard Stretton.
After Richard's death, his widow, Elizabeth, married Thomas
Baker of Easthampton and died a widow, January 5, 1704-5.
Children:
+ 2 Richard,2 b. about 1655.
+ 3 Thomas,2 d. 1704.
+ 4 Isaac,^ m. in Easthampton, 1703.
-5 Elizabeth,^ mentioned in her father's will, after which
nothing is known of her.
+ 6 Benjamin,^ d. in New Jersey in 1716.
2. Richard Stratton ^ {Richard ^) was not of age at the date
of his father's will in 1674; he was of age, however, at the time
of his mother's second marriage in 1678, hence was born be-
tween 1653 and 1657. He inherited lands and money from his
father's estate in Easthampton.
His name appears from time to time on the records of his
native town, where he lived and died. He (probably) married
(as early at least as 1580) Sarah Sturges, daughter of John
104 A Book of Strattons
Sturges of Fairfield, Conn.,* who in his will dated March 2, 1697,
mentions his "Son-in-law, Richard Stratton and his five children
by wife Sarah, my daughter." Later he married Mary ,
who was his widow in 1602. He died June 7, 1697, as shown by
the church records.
Children:
- 7 Solomon,^ b. 1680-1685.
- 8 David ,3 b.
- 9 Abigail,^ m. Daniel Burr, Nov. 7, 1705.
-10 Hannah,^ m. Thomas Chatfield, May 26, 1707.
-11 Deborah,^ m. Eliakim Conkling, July 22, 1708.
+ 12 Richard,^ probably settled in Rehoboth, Mass.
Solomon (7) gave quitclaim deed, in 1706, to certain lands which
he had inherited as eldest son. August 9, 1714, David (8) deeded
to Thomas Chatfield and Samuel Mulford all the lands and privi-
leges which he had "received by my father Richard Stratton's
will except the eight acres willed to me at the end of the home
lotts he gave to my brothers Solomon and Richard." f Solomon,
by a note on the margin of the deed, admitted David's right to
make the deed. Their names then disappear from the records at
Easthampton and nothing more is known of them.
QUITCLAIM DEED

3. Thomas Stratton ^ (Richard ^) was not yet of age when his
mother married the second time. In her marriage contract dated
1678 his mother stipulates that "My son Thomas Stratton shall
be paid out of the Estate at ye age of twenty one yeares the sum
of twenty pounds in currant pay in the case he continue with me
soe long." By his father's will he was given two lots of land in
Easthampton.* He married Mary Miller, daughter of John
Miller of Easthampton, This we learn from the will of John
Miller, who died in Cohausy, N. J., in 1699. In this will, dated
the year of his death, he names his daughter Mary, wife of Thomas
Stratton of Easthampton. f As there is no record of this mar-
riage we know nothing of the date of it. It may have occurred
as early as 1680. Thomas died in Easthampton, May 26, 1704.
His widow was still living there in 1706. No record of a second
marriage, or of her death, is found there. She may have followed
her father's family to New Jersey.
Children:
13 Thomas,^ living in New Jersey, "a minor of 15 years,"
Sept. 28, 1715, when his uncle, Noah Miller, was ap-
pointed his guardian.
* How these lands were disposed of, deeds do not show, and no will of = Thomas
Stratton has been found. Many of the early deeds were not recorded, and
often wills were not probated. New York State laws admit of the title = passing
and no deed or will recorded, if the proper owner is in possession of = the prop-
erty and holds the unrecorded deed, or unpro bated will or = even proves his
relation as "next of kin" to the last known ovmer.
t Beginning about the year 1690 emigrants began to pass over from Con-
necticut and Long Island to "New Jersie," and among them were many
Easthampton families. It seems more than probable that among these emi-
grants were Strattons as early, at least, as 1704. John Miller removed = with
his family from Easthampton to New Jersey before 1699. His will, dated
Aug. 23, 1899, is in the archives nt Trenton.
106 A Book of Strattons
Although the records at Easthampton contain nothing more
concerning this family, it is quite probable there were other
children.
4. Isaac ^ (Richard ^) was named in his father's will, 1674,
and nothing further is known of him until November 5, 1703,
when he married Margaret Edwards in Easthampton. By
trade he was a cooper. November 27, 1708, Margaret, "ye wife
of Isaac Stratton owned ye covenant" in the church, and on that
same day two of her children were baptized. From 1704 to 1710
Isaac Stratton 's signature is found to six different deeds by which
he disposes of the various lots of land which he owned by in-
heritance and purchase, and then his name disappears from the
records of his native town, and he has not yet been located else-
where.

are early Strattons whose ancestry is yet unaccounted for. Fur-
ther information is very much desired.
6. Benjamin Stratton ^ (Richard ^) married Mary ,
some time before 1698. Their seven children were born in East-
hampton and some of their descendants still live there. On the
1st of March, 1704, Benjamin and his brother Issaac, divided the
home land left them by their father's last will. This land and
other property owned by Benjamin was sold by him, as shown
by deeds on record at Easthampton. The last of these deeds is
dated September 3, 1715. Very soon after this date he removed
with his family to Fairfield, Salem County, N. J., where he died
before September 14th of the following year. Letters of ad-
ministration were granted his widow, Mary Stratton,* Octo-
* Her maiden name has not been found, although careful search has been
made for it. A more thorough study of probate records at Riverhead and
Trenton might discover her parentage. There is no doubt that she = belonged
to one of the fine old families of Easthampton. Left a widow, within a = year

years after his father's death on the land which he inherited,
"ye breadth of his home lot toward the north end being 24 poles
and seven foot." The last record of him at Easthampton is De-
cember 8, 1711, when his name appears on a list of Freeholders.
February 19, 1718, Richard Stratton married Rachel Cole, in
Boston. They settled in Rehoboth, Mass., where five sons were
born to them, and in that vicinity some of their descendants still
reside.* Rehoboth church records say that Richard and Rachel
Stratton were "dismissed from Rehoboth Church to Dunstable
Sept. 23, 1729." His name appears among the Freeholders of
Dunstable, July 6, 1747.

Christian activity.
* That Richard of Rehoboth was Richard ^ of Easthampton is based upon
family tradition and "circumstantial evidence." There was much intimacy
for several generations between the people of Rehoboth and Easthampton,
and considerable trade between Rhode Island and Long Island. Anyone
better informed on this line will confer a great favor by communicating = same
to the compiler.

The records tell us nothing more of Benjamin Stratton (17) but
we have good reasons for believing that he was a man of intelli-
gence and energy, a respected and active member of the little
community in which he lived. Left fatherless at the age of
sixteen years, he early identified himself with the Presbyterian
Church at Fairfield, into which church all his children were
baptized; dying a comparatively young man, he had accumulated
quite a large property for that early time in New Jersey, and left
his wife and children well provided for. Among his descendants
is a large proportion of professional men, who have occupied
positions of trust and honor. Of the ten Stratton graduates of
Princeton College, eight are his descendants.
19. William Stratton ^ {Benjamin,^ Richard ^) was baptized
January 13, 1705-6, and was ten years old when his father moved
to New Jersey. He married Phoebe Fithian, daughter of Jona-

cember 22, is on file at Trenton. In it he mentions his wife,
Phoebe, his brother David and the five sons and two daughters
named below. His sons Jonathan and Fithian were executors of
the will, hence must have been of age in 1759. William was to
have the "weaver shop"; Jonathan and Fithian certain lots of
land; sons Ephriam and Aaron were to have =C2=A350 each at the age
of 21.

20. Jonathan Stratton ^ {Benjamin,^ Richard ^) was born in
Easthampton; baptized June 20, 1708. He was but eight years
old when his father died in New Jersey. Some time before he was
twenty-two years of age he returned to his native town, where he
spent the remainder of his life. January 20, 1730-31, he married
Mahitable Reeves, daughter of Abraham and Puah Reeves. f

* More data concerning the sons of this family is very much wanted. = There
was a Jonathan Stratton who married Elizabeth Thackara (or Thackary) in
Salem, N. J., March 17, 1779. They settled in Philadelphia, and belonged = to
the Third Presbyterian Church, and had several children, among them a = son,
Benjamin Thackary Stratton, whose descendants are traced to the present
generation. (See Vol. II.) It is thought that this Jonathan was a = grandson
of William Stratton of Deerfield. Proof is wanted.
Fithian had a nephew, Lot Stratton, who was, also, a Revolutionary = soldier
and who settled in Lycoming Coimty, Pa. Later information concerning him = is desired; also concerning a Preston Stratton whose name is associated = with
Fithian, but to whose parentage the writer has found no clew.

31. Isaac Stratton^ {Benjamin,^ Richard^) was baptized at
Easthampton, May 27, 1711, and was only about four years old
when his father moved to New Jersey. He died in Cumberland
County, N. J., intestate, at the age of 42 years, and his estate
was administered by Mary Stratton (undoubtedly his widow),
January 5, 1753. No children are mentioned in the administration.
33. David Stratton ^ (Benjamin,^ Richard ^) was baptized at
Easthampton, January 2, 1615. But little is known of him. He
seems to have lived for a while at Deerfield, N. J. where he owned
land. He is mentioned in his brother William's will in 1759. He
married Elizabeth , who survived him, and was his ad-
ministratrix, January 14, 1764. In the administration he is said
to be "of Stow Creek, Cumberland Co." Nothing further is
known of his widow. It is not at all improbable that he left
children, although none are named in the administration, f
This may be the Jonathan Stratton who died at Easthampton in = July,
1759. He may have married Anna Reeves of W. Hartford, April 1, 1754.
No trace has been found of any children.
t A David Stratton, whose parentage has not yet been traced, settled in
Millville, N. J. He married Sarah (Preston?). They were the parents of = five
children: Preston, b. Dec. 16, 1773; m. Sarah Bateman. Lydia, m. 1st
Gaston; 2d, William Osier. Israel, who was associate judge of Cumberland = County. Jeremiah, b. Sept. 1, 1779; m. 1st, Zerviah Bateman; 2d, Mrs. = Mar-

clew to his parentage will be very much appreciated, both by his = descendants
and by the compiler. For his descendants see Vol. II.

25. Richard Stratton "* (Richard,^ Richard,^ Richard ^) was
born in Rehoboth, Mass., November 18, 1724. He married Sarah
Newell, February 7, 1750. Town records show that he Hved
in Attleboro and Foxboro, Mass., and Cumberland, R. I., yet
he may have lived all his life in one house, for these three towns,
and several others, were comprised in Ancient Rehoboth, and the
boundaries between them have only recently been established.
Deeds of Suffolk County show that he bought a piece of land in
Wrentham in 1772. His will, in Suffolk County probate office,
was made June 19, 1778, and proved August 21st of same year.
It names only his wife Sarah and son James who is to settle with
the rest. His wife survived him twenty-eight years, dying Decem-
ber 27, 1806.
In a small cemetery near Foxboro, surrounded by woods and
known to but few, are several Stratton gravestones, one bears
this inscription:

born in 1738. He married Ruth (or Sarah?) Buck, and lived
at Deerfield, N. J., where he was an active member of the Presby-
terian church. About 1781 he was disciplined by his church, for
"consorting with the methodist." Later, he joined the Methodist
church and became a local preacher in that denomination. He
was an adjutant in Col. Enos Seeley's Battalion, New Jersey State
Troops. He died October 26, 1817, and is buried in the Presby-
terian churchyard at Deerfield, where a tombstone stands to the

The vital records at that period were but imperfectly kept. His
old home is still standing, and is one of the landmarks of his native
town. It is believed to be the home of his parents from the date
of their marriage in 1730.
The descendants of Jonathan ^ continued to live there to the
present generation esteemed citizens of the town of which = their
ancestor was one of the founders in the old colonial days.
As far as can be learned from records at Easthampton, the Strat-
tons of this branch are the only descendants of Richard Stratton ^
who continued to live there after the third generation.

John Stratton of Easthampton 117
JOHN STRATTON OF EASTHAMPTON
(See Chart D)
1. John Stratton was at Easthampton, L. I., as one of its
"first settlers" in 1649. It is possible that he came to Southamp-
ton with his brother Richard as early as 1644.*
His name stands fifth on the list of founders of the town, and
from the first he was a prominent man among the settlers. In
1652 the boundaries of his home lot are given in the town records
as follows:
"John Straton ffour ackers upon the litel plaine be it more or
lesse bounded by the hie way South and Thomas Talmage junior
West and on the North parte agt Luke Lillie and part agt Richard
Straton: and the hie way East"
As son of William Stratton of Tenterden, he would have been
twenty-eight years old when he came to Easthampton, and by
his father's will (see page 65) would have received =C2=A3120, or about
$1200 at the age of twenty-three. He acquired considerable real
estate on Long Island which by his will he divided among his nine
children.
His four sons lived and died at Easthampton and he has de-
scendants living there to-day.
He was one of the few men of the town who owned serv-
ants. In the inventory of his personal estate at the time
of his death are "2 negro and childe." One of these he willed
to his daughter, Ruth White. The other two, according to a
family tradition, were given their freedom. Two of his children
were born before he came to Easthampton. Before 1645 he
married Sarah , whether in England or America is not
* For his ancestry see Shrivenham Strattons, this Volume. Also, see = Early
Strattons of Long Island.
Howell's History of Southampton says: "John Stratton had a grant of land = in 1644, not here in 1649 but one of the settlers of Easthampton in that = year."
The records at Southampton give no evidence of a John Stratton ever = having
lived there. If this grant was to John, brother of Richard Stratton, he = proba-
bly returned to England, and remained there until about 1649. William
Stratton of Tenterden, in his will, 1647, mentions his son John and says = nothing
to indicate that he is not in England.
Bond, Savage and others supposed this grant at Southampton was to John
Stratton of Salem. Much unsuccessful search has been made for any proof
of this theory.
118 A Book of Strattons
known. On March 1, 1664, he was one of the deputies sent by
Easthampton to Hampstead to declare loyalty to the British
Government. He was made executor of his brother Richard's
will in 1674. His own will, dated August 30, 1684, was proved

2. John Stratton ^ {John ^) was about four years old at the
date of the first mention of his father in Easthampton. He may
have been born in England or in Southampton. He early became
a prominent man in the colony where his name appears many
times on the records, and he is usually styled "Mr John Stratton,"
showing the respect and esteem in which he was held by his towns-
men.
By his father's will he became possessed of seven lots of land
"with commonage both in ye town and at Montauket, besides one
half of the dwelling house and home lot, while his mother lived
and the whole of it after her death, with a double portion of mov-
able goods both indoors and out." In 1694 he was chosen collector
for the town. He married Mary James, daughter of Rev. Thomas
James* Both he and his wife were members of the church at

* Rev. Thomas James, son of Rev. Thomas James of Lincolnshire, Eng.,
came to America in 1632 in the ship "William and Francis "; was pastor = of
the church at Easthampton for forty-six years. Of him Hon. H. P. Hedges
says: "Minister James understood the Indian language; sometmes = instructed
the Indians, preached to them and acted as interpreter. He was learned,
resolute, just, sincere, fearless, active, a powerful personality."
John Stratton of Easthampton 123
Easthampton when Nathaniel Huntting became its pastor, and
their son, John, was baptized by him.
On the church records Mary's death is thus recorded: "Feb. 14,
1718. The wife of Mr. John Stratton died a little before midnight
aged about 64 yrs." Seventeen years later is this record : " Feb. 19,
1735-6. Mr. John Stratton died about 7 of ye clock, aged about
90 years."
Children:
11 A child,^ not named; d. Jan. 7, 1696-7.
-12 Esther,^ d. April 20, 1707.
+ 13 John,3 bapt. Dec. 10, 1699.
That there were children older than these is quite possible, but
the records at Easthampton contain nothing to indicate it.
4. Joseph Stratton ^ {John ^) died at Easthampton, Decem-
ber 23, 1722, "att 10 of ye clock in ye morning, aged 73 years."
In 1683 his estate at Easthampton was valued at =C2=A3100. The name
of his first wife is not known. She died April 3, 1714.
His second wife, Sarah, was left a widow at his death. His will,
dated October 8, 1722, names no sons. It mentions his "present
wife, Sarah," with whom a marriage settlement had been made
October 28, 1714, which she accepted in lieu of all claim for dower.
His estate, real and personal, he leaves in about equal shares to
his two daughters, with small legacies to his three grandchildren,
children of his daughter, Martha Conkling.
Children:
-14 Hannah,^ m. Jessop.
15 Martha,^ m. Ananias Conkling, Apr. 3, 1701.
The will of Joseph ^ is on file at Riverhead. There is nothing
in it to indicate that there were any other children.
5. Stephen Stratton ^ {John ^) is named as one of the execu-
tors of his father's will in 1684. He married Hannah Reeves,
daughter of Robert and Elizabeth {Mott) Reeves of Hartford, Conn.*
The date of this marriage is not known. It may have been as
* Elizabeth was a daughter of John Mott, one of the first settlers of = Weath-
ersfield, Conn.
124 A Book of Strattons
early at least at 1680, though there is nothing in his father's will
to show that he was married in 1684.
Two years after his death his widow, Hannah, married Isaac
Halsey of Southampton, December 11, 1699. His death is thus
recorded on the church books at Easthampton: "Died April 8,
1697, Stephen Stratton, abt. break of day."
Child:
+ 16 John,^ d. in Easthampton, 1775, date of birth not known.
Easthampton records show no other children, but as the births
earlier than 1696 were not recorded, there may have been others.
If so they must have left Easthampton, and may have settled in
Connecticut among their mother's relatives.
6. Cornelius Stratton ^ {John ^) was the youngest son of
John Stratton. In his father's will he is named as one of the ex-
ecutors. This may, or may not, indicate that he was of age at
that time. The will shows that he was not married at that date.
At his marriage, or after his father's decease, he was to have the
"house home lott and addition," then occupied by his eldest
brother, John. The date of his marriage has not been found, but
on the probate records at Fairfield, Conn., there is plenty to show
that he married Martha Hull, daughter of Cornelius Hull of
Fairfield.
Fairfield Probate Records, Volume 1689-1701, page 126. Will
of Cornelius Hull of Fairfield, dated September 16, 1695, contains
a bequest to " my daughter Martha the wife of Cornelious Stratton
seventy acres of my long lot."
Fairfield Land Records, Volume 3, page 393, Joseph Stratton
and Samuel Stratton of Huntington, L. I., sell one half of 70 acres
"which was our Grandfather Levt Cornelius Hulls late of Fairfield
deceased the whole seventy acres was given by him to our Mother
Martha Straton of Easthampton on said Long Island his daughter."
Dated April 15, 1718.
Cornelius Stratton may have lived in Connecticut for a while
after his marriage, and his widow returned there after his death.
In 1699 he was living at Easthampton and owned "ye covenant"
in the church there, and his son Samuel was baptized. Cornelius
died in Easthampton March 27, 1704.

her brother Eliphalet.
From Fairfield Probate Records:
"There being two of the sons of Cornelious Straton late of Long
Island dec'd being providentially Cast into this Govermint and
there being no persons in Law to take the care of them and one
of them namely Samuell Straton being under age for Chooseing
his Gardian the Court of Probates held in Fairfield december 6:

13. John Stratton ^ (John,^ John ^) was born December 10,
1699. Nothing more is known of him until his marriage to Amy
Conkling, December 29, 1719. Two years later is this church
record at Easthampton: " Died, Sept. 29, 1721, John Stratton jr.
son of Mr. John Stratton, aged about 22 years." His widow. Amy,
married Mathew Dayton in Easthampton, 1725.
Children: Born in Easthampton.

16. John Stratton,^ "weaver" (Stephen,^ John'^) married
Elizabeth Smith, daughter of Nathaniel Smith, a prominent citizen
of that region. She was born in 1698, and died March 30, 1765.
They lived on a farm near Easthampton. In 1728 he was con-
stable at Easthampton. His uncle, John Stratton - (John ^), in a
quitclaim deed dated 1698, refers to him as "John Stratton,
junior, son of Stephen. " This was the year after the death of
Stephen, and the year before the birth of John ^ son of John
Stratton.2 After this John, son of Stephen, is often called "John
Stratton jr" both in church and town records.
126 A Book of Strattons
June 16, 1717, "John Stratton, jr., owned ye covenant, also his
wife."
In 1775 he was sergeant-major in a regiment of volunteers in
Suffolk County. In April of that year he declared his loyalty to
Continental Congress. He died July 21, 1775.

having died when Samuel was but five years old. At this time
his uncle, Samuel Hull of Fairfield, was his guardian. April 2,
1728, he married Ruth Piatt of Huntington, L. I. He lived in
Huntington where he owned real estate and was a man of some
prominence. At the age of 86 years he was received into church
membership at Huntington Rev. Nathan Woodhull, pastor.
He died at New Canaan, Conn., at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. Samuel Silliman, while on a visit there.* In the old cemetery
at New Canaan is a stone to his memory, bearing this peculiar
inscription:
In memory of
Samuel Stratton
of
Long Island
Who departed this life 10th March, A. D. 1791, aged 92 years.
His languished head is at rest.
Its thinking and aching are over.
His quiet immovable breast
Is heaved by affection no more.

21. John Stratton'* (John,^ John,^ John'^) was the only child
of John and Amy (Conkling) Stratton. He was born in East-
hampton about a month after the death of his father. The record
of his birth on the church books stands thus: "Born Oct. 8, 1721,
John son of John Stratton jr., deceased son of Mr. John Stratton."
June 6, 1744, John Stratton married Mary Gardiner, daughter
of Lion Gardiner, who was born September 19, 1725. Fifteen
years later this entry is found on the church books: "Dec. 16,
1759 John Stratten's wife desceased." Tbege-ara-J io record s of

24. Stephen Stratton "* (John,^ Stephen,^ John'^) was born
January 15, 1721, and lived in Easthampton as late as April 29,
1779, when his name is found signed to the document declaring
loyalty to the Constitutional Congress. In November, 1754, he
married Ruth Osborn. In his father's will he is given lands at
Montuck. In the Revolution he belonged to the 1st Regt. of
Suffolk County Minute Men, after which the compiler has found
nothing concerning him. The church records at Easthampton
mention only the following

A family tradition has it that Ruth (Osborn) Stratton died
early, that Stephen married again and that there were other
children.

the births are given. One leaf of the Record appears to be lost, = containing
entries of deaths for 1760-63. Very few marriages are recorded from 1754 = to 1793. January 1, 1793, the minister of the church makes this entry: = "I

43. Jeremiah Stratton"* (Eliphalet,^ Cornelius,^ John^) was
baptized in Easthampton by Rev. Nathaniel Huntting, Septem-
ber 20, 1719. He married Elizabeth Baker, September 14,
1741; was admitted to church membership August 22, 1742, and
was named as one of the executors of his father's will in 1744.
About 1747 he removed to Southampton, L. I., where in 1762-3
he owned a lot of land in partnership with his brother Abraham.
He seems to still have been living in Southampton in 1765; when
the records say: "We laid out 3 lotts to the southward and pro-
ceeded to Jeremiah Stratton's well." After this the Southampton
records give nothing concerning him. No will of his has been
found, and no settlement of estate, although much search has been
made for the same.
Children: Born in Easthampton.

Stratton^ (44).
It is more than probable that there were other children born
in Southampton. Daniel Stratton, who served in the First Regi-
ment, Suffolk County MiUtia, during the Revolution, is thought
to have belonged to this family.
44. David Stratton "* {Eliphalet,^ Cornelius,^ John ^) was born
in Easthampton in 1723. He married Jemima Howell, daughter
of Edward Howell of Southampton. April, 1767, David Stratton
and his wife "owned ye covenant" and were received into church
membership. He died January 6, 1770. The record of his death
is at Easthampton, but in his will, dated December 9, 1769, he is
said to be "of Southampton."

53. Eliphalet Stratton ^ (Samuel,^ Cornelius,^ John ^) was
baptized at Huntington, January 8, 1745. His early life was spent
^ in his native town. September 15, 1767, he married Mary Valen-
j^vvi^W^^ tine of East Chester, New York. They became the parents of
=E2=80=A2' eight children. After her death, at the age of sixty-two = years, he
married Lucretia Dale. He was an energetic business man and
accumulated considerable property. He moved from Huntington
to a farm of 350 acres which he purchased from Abraham Law-
rence about 1787 land bought from the Indians by William
Lawrence in 1650. This farm was near Flushing, L. I., and was
thereafter known as Strattonport. About 1857 a large part of the
farm was laid out into village lots and incorporated as College
Point. The Stratton homestead was built in 1792. Mr. Stratton
was an active member of the Episcopal Church. He died at the
age of 85 years, December 31, 1831, and is buried in the church-
yard at Flushing.

STRATTONS OF THE EASTERN SHORE,
VIRGINIA
" And I found a register of the genealogy of them which came
up at the beginning."
Nehemiah vii, 5.
IN 1615 the secretary of the Virginia Company sent " 10 men and
10 soldiers" to the "land across the waters," to catch fish and
make salt for the parent colony at Jamestown. Thus began the
settlement of the Eastern Shore of Virginia at "Dale's Gift" on
Old Plantation Creek. Five years later another settlement was
made a few miles away, which took the Indian name of Acco-
macke. The early history and traditions of this "land beyond
the waters" is of intense interest. In 1622 when the great Indian
massacre took place along the James, it was contemplated moving
the entire company to the Eastern Shore. The aborigines of this
shore were, according to tradition, the most timid, peaceable and
kind-hearted of any of the Indians found on the continent. These
early settlements grew and multiplied, and in 1632 were organized
as Accomacke County. On the 2d of March, 1642, the name was
changed to Northampton, in honor of Colonel Obedience Robins
who came from Northamptonshire, Eng. In 1663 Northampton
was divided and the northern part became Accomacke County.
The first church on the shore was built on Old Plantation Creek.
The exact location is not known. The second was at Arlington
Gate nothing but a few bricks surrounded by dilapidated tombs
(among them the tombs of the Custis family) are left to mark the
spot where it stood.
Hunger's Parish was established in 1634. Rev. Wm. Cotton
was its first minister. The present Hunger's Church was built
about 1690. It is located on the north side of Hunger's Creek,
near the old village of Bridgetown. Among the vestrymen elected
June 22, 1691, was Benjamin Stratton.* The Strattons were early
* The vestrymen elected that day were Major John Robins, Captain Custie, = 142 A Book of Strattons
a prominent family on the Shore. Their estate was "Stratton
Manor," near Old Plantation Creek, not far from Cape Charles
City. Their descendants are connected by marriage with many
of the old families of eastern Viriginia.*
Later, one branch of the family came into possession of "Old
Castle" and "Elkington " in Northampton County.
THOMAS STRATTON ^ OF THE EASTERN SHORE
{See Chart E)
1. Thomas Stratton married Alice . At what date
they came to America is not known. In 1632, Alice, widow of
Thomas Stratton, was living on the Eastern Shore with her two
children. In 1636 she was granted 200 acres of land "for trans-
porting into Virginia Thomas Stratton, herself and two others."
Later she married Henry Bagwell, town clerk of Accomacke
County, and by him had several children among them, John and
Thomas Bagwell. Only two children of Thomas and Alice Stratton
have been found. There may have been others. f
Children:
+2 Thomas,^ first mentioned in Accomacke County in 1632.
-3 Mary,' m. Handy. <n^ .
3. Thomas Stratton ^ {Thomas ^) was born before 1632,
whether in England or Virginia is not known.

* Among these families are Wilkins, Harmanson, Stoakley, Digges, = Nivison,
Parsons, Parker, Tazewell, Nottingham and others names coeval = with the
first settlements of Virginia.
Northampton County has a fine lot of old records. They are only partly
indexed, however, and not in good shape for examination. A more = exhaustive
research than the author has been able to make might bring to light = additional
data on this interesting line of Strattons, and discover some still = "missing
links" connecting unidentified Strattons of later generations, with this = line.

Thomas Stratton of the Eastern Shore 143
Among the old records at Eastville is this: "Thomas Stratton
of Northampton County. The mark of his cattle as followeth:
Groped & slitt on ye right eare overbitten & holed on ye left = eare;
giving notice to the clerke to record By me Thomas Stratton,
Sept. 7, 1651." This same year, 1651, he was deeded 100 acres
of land by his mother, Mrs. Alice Bagwell. He was probably at
least twenty-one years of age at this time and so born as early as
1630. November 27, 1657, he was granted 300 acres of land in
Northampton County "on the Ridge southerly on Dun Branch."
This land was "granted by the right of emigration of Thomas and
Alice Stratton," and formed a part of the large estate later known
as "Stratton Manor" and still known by that name, although
it passed out of the hands of the Strattons about fifty years ago
(1858), having been in possession of the Stratton family for eight
generations. Thomas Stratton's name appears on the court
records several times from 1657 to 1660. In 1658 he served on
the jury "by an order from the court at James City, likewise by
an order of the Court of Northampton County." He married
Agnes Johnson, who survived him. At a court holden in North-
ampton County, August 3, 1660, it is ordered "yt Mrs. Agnes
Stratton be paid out of the estate of Robert Fisher six hundred
and ninety-seven pounds of tobacko & cask, being ye balance of
to John Stratton, Lower Norfolk County, Va. The 150 acres granted him in = 1651 was for transporting to the colony John Franklin, Margaret Heath = and
Patience Tomlins. (See Virginia Land Grants.) The records of Lower = Norfolk
(now Princess Anne County) give no evidence of his ever having lived = there.
What John Stratton was this?
In 1646, 100 acres of land was granted to Robert Harrison and Sissley
Stratton. No other mention is found of Sissley Stratton.
August 16, 1658, certificate was given to Elizabeth Stratton, widow, for = 300 acres, for bringing into Virginia Elizabeth Wilkins, William Damson, = Edmund Moore, Elenor Edwards, Daniel Freesell and John Power. (See

4. Benjamin Stratton ^ {Thomas,^ Thomas ^) was born
February 25, 1657. He was "son and heir of Thomas" when in
1662 he was granted 257 acres at Mondries Creek, and 300 acres
on the Ridge southerly on Dun Branch, Northampton County.
November 26, 1682, he was granted two other tracts 300 acres = on
Dun Branch; and 247 acres, "being a neck of land called Ac-
quassa." {Virginia Land Grants, Book 4, p. 537 and Book 7, pp.
197-198.) In addition to the lands which he inherited, and those
granted him, he bought several other tracts as shown by deeds
of Northampton County. It was probably in his day that the
oldest part of the Stratton Manor (still standing) was built, and
built partly of bricks which were brought from England. He

married Ann Wilkins, daughter of Nathaniel Wilkins, who after
her marriage received a tract of land in Northampton, by deed of
gift from her father. She was born February 10, 1662. Benjamin
and Ann Stratton were Episcopalians, members of Old Hunger's
Church, where he was vestryman in 1691. Ann Stratton died
June 16, 1700, " at sundown." Benjamin died October 22, 1717,
aged 60 years. The old Stratton Manor Register is still in existence
in the possession of a descendant giving the "Births = and

lO. John Stratton ^ (Benjamin,^ Thomas,^ Thomas^), b. at
Stratton Manor, March 21, 1695. By his father's will he in-
herited "ye plantation at ye seaboard side," and in want of heirs
to his oldest brother, Benjamin,'' he was to have also the home
plantation. There is no evidence that John'' ever owned the Manor
property it is not mentioned in his will, and the births of = his
children are not found in the Stratton Manor Register. His son,
Benjamin,^ did own it, however, and it has been in the possession
of Benjamin's descendants until the present generation.* John
Stratton must have been a man of considerable prominence on
the Eastern Shore. In 1729 he was granted 152 acres of land on
the sea-board side, and in 1732, he received a grant of 252 acres at
the head of Knight Gut. This last grant he probably sold, as
no mention is made of it in his will. The 152 acres he willed
to his sons. He had other dealings in real estate, buying
and selling lands in different parts of the county, as shown by
deeds.
He married Susannah , who survivied him and was
living in 1754. f He was High Sheriff of Northampton County in
1732-4. Among his descendants are men well known in Virginian
history. He died April 15, 1751, "about sunrise."

How Benjamin ^ came into possession of Stratton Manor, is an = interesting

here that he may have received it from his Uncle Benjamin '* who seems = to
have died without issue.

might discover it. She may have been the second wife and this John = Stratton
who married Esther Harmanson before 1720. Was it through his marriage
(first, or second?) that the Strattons came into possession of = "Elkington?"
The Harmansons were a fine old family on the Eastern Shore and were
connected by marriage, before 1690, with the Elkingtons.

Signed published and declared by the said John Stratton to be
his last will in the presence of
Robert Warren jr., Thomas Moore, James Bassford.
My will and desire is that what I had given to my son William
Stratton by my last will I give to my son Thomas Stratton 22
pounds 10 shillings, all the other legacies given in that Paragraph
I give to my son Nathaniel Stratton 22 pounds 10 shillings, the

hand the 11th. day of April 1751. I nominate my son Benjamin
Stratton my sole executor in case of his mother's death and if he
refuses my son John Stratton. I desire my will shall stand all
but the gift I made my son William Stratton.
John Stratton.
It will be seen that John Stratton "* died four days after adding
the codicil to the above will. In the settlement of his estate in
1752, his son William was not mentioned. He probably died be-
tween the making of the will and the adding of the codicil. Na-
thaniel was not of age when the estate was settled.
John, Jr., may have been given land by deed of gift from his
father before the will was made. At any rate, soon after his
father's death he owned land in Northampton County.

STRATTONS OF WATERTOWN,
MASSACHUSETTS
" Tell ye your children of it, and let them tell their children,
and their children another generation."
Joel i, 3.
WATERTOWN, on the Charles River, was founded by Puri-
tan immigrants who arrived in the "Lady Arbella" from
England, July 30, 1630. One of the first acts of this little company
was to assemble on the banks of the river for a day of fasting and
prayer, when a paper was drawn up and signed " in order to coales-
cence into a church estate." This is the often quoted " Watertown
Covenant," a long, quaint, old document. About a month later,
the Court of Assistants, sitting at Charlestown, ordered that
" Tri-mountain be called Boston; Mattapan, Dorchester; and the
town on the Charles river, Watertown." * The first winter in
Watertown was one of much suffering. "Shell-fish, ground-nuts
and acorns were the only food many could obtain." "One that
came to the Governor's house to complain of his suffering was
prevented, being informed that even these the last batch was in the
oven." (Hutchinson's Hist, of Massachusetts.) But these were a
people not easily daunted. Many had come into the wilderness
from comfortable, prosperous homes in England. They accepted
the suffering and privations as a part of the price they were willing
to pay for freedom of thought and action. Among these people
was formed the first Congregational church in the Massachusetts
Bay Colony " the first church to openly declare the right of = the
congregation to absolute control over its own affairs." "From
Watertown, in 1632, came the first protest heard in America
* The territory then called Watertowii embraced what is now Waltham,
Weston and a part of Lincoln. The boundaries between Watertowii and
Newtown, Cambridge, Dedham, Concord and Sudbury were established at
different periods between 1634 and 1754.
154 A Book of Strattons
against taxation without representation," (Fiske's Beginnings in
New England.)
While Savage, in writing of Watertown, says: "With the spirit
of devout piety and trusting faith which marked the Puritan
character in general, there were men of strong convictions with
a sturdy courage to assist them." And this same independence
of thought characterizes many of their descendants, scattered
throughout our country to-day.
Just when the Strattons came to Watertown is not known,
but they were there in 1647 and may have come several years
earlier.* At a town meeting "9th 10 mo: 1647 Samuel Stratton
was chosen surveyor for this yeare cominge." His sons, Samuel,
Jr., and John, in all probability came with him. The third son,
Richard, remained for a while in England, and is probably the
Richard Stratton who came over in the "Speedwell" in April,
1656, when he is said to be from Gravesend, County Kent. If
there were other children they must have remained in England,
for no mention of them is found here, and none others are men-
tioned in Samuel's will.
December 6, 1652, Samuel Stratton, Sr., Samuel Stratton, Jr.,
and John Stratton took the "oath of Fidelity," and their names
appear on the muster roll of a company of Watertown Militia.
The men of this muster roll maintained the company and held
themselves ready to be called out at any time. (See Chart G.)
Samuel, Sr., was at this time sixty years old. The following
year he was made a "freeman." f In 1656 he was chosen with
the deacons "to have the ordering of the sitting of persons in the
meeting-house." His home was on the northerly side of Mount
Auburn Street near where later stood James R. Lowell's home
then a part of Watertown, now a part of Cambridge.
As early, at least, as 1667 another John Stratton appeared at
Watertown. (See Chart H.)
* Watertown was the fourth town constituted in Massachusetts Bay Colony. = Only one town in the state has older original records. These records = town
and church are kept with the greatest care and minuteness, so = that from
them we get many delightful glimpses into the home and business life of = those
early days.
t To be made a freeman before 1662 a man must be a member of the church
"must own ye covenant." Under the new charter in 1662, = property right,
or estate was considered.
Strattons of Watertown 155
The relationship, if any existed, between him and Samuel
Stratton has not been found. He married a daughter of Thomas
and Mary (Knapp) Smith. Thomas Smith was one of the pro-
prietors of Watertown, having been granted land there July 25,
1636, at which date he was one of the 120 freemen of the town.
In 1639 he owned eight lots of land. He died March 10, 1692,
aged 92 years. His will mentions his "loving daughter Mary."
The Knapps were in Watertown in 1632.
This John Stratton was 25 years old when his name first
appears on Watertown records.
His home was in the west precinct, in that part of Watertown
which later became Waltham. He died there in 1691, aged 49
years, leaving five sons. The inventory of his estate, at the date
of his death, shows that besides the homestead of ten acres,
with house, barn, stock, household stuffs, a chest, books, arms,
etc., he owned another piece of land, fifteen acres, = in Cam-
bridge bounds, t
The name John Stratton appears constantly on the town
records, but as there were two of the same name men of about
the same age living there at the same time, and each having a
son John (with but six years difference in age), it is often im-
possible to tell to which John the records refer. The records of
the "town proceedings" are often quaint and puzzling; as are
also the church records. The references of town clerks and pastors
to "John Stratton in ye woods," "John Stratton up in ye town,"
"My neighbor young John Stratton," "John Stratton who owned
ye covenant," are not always clear.
At various times from 1663 to 1690 a John Stratton was chosen
Surveyor of Highways, constable and tithing-man. May 27,
1663, John Stratton of Watertown was made a "free man." In
1682 John Stratton was selectman. November 3, 1683, and
March 28, 1684, the selectmen's meetings w^ere held at John Strat-
ton's house. I
* This will was made 1688, and was witnessed by George Lawrence, Joseph
Wellington and John Robinson.
t As all research has thus far failed to find any proof of this John = Stratton
in New England earlier than 1667 the date of his marriage in = Watertown
he is treated in this Volume as the emigrant of his line in America, and = called
"John Stratton i of Watertown."
X 1693, John Stratton, tything man, was appointed "to se that the said
156 A Book of Strattons
That the early Strattons of Watertown possessed the same
independence of thought which characterized other Watertown
people, there is plenty of proof among the very early original
papers in Cambridge and Boston.
On the records of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, under date of
May 13, 1648, is this enactment: "The corte beinge desirous that
the same cource which has been taken in England for the dis-
covering of witches, by watching, may be also taken here with
the witch now in question & therefore doe order that a strict
watch shall be set about her every night, & that her husband be
confined to a private roome & watched also."
Felt, in his Ecclesiastical History of New England, says that this
passage refers to Margaret Jones, wife of William Jones. She was
executed as a witch June 15, 1648.*
Now, it seems that Samuel and Alice Stratton were not of the
strictest Puritanic stripe, but were generous and liberal in their
thinking, and their treatment of those who differed from them,
and were among the few who cherished a leniency toward the
so-called "witches." From the old, half-effaced court papers of
that period we find that "Samuel Stratton said that Jones's wife
Died wrongfully, and was no witch and that the majistrates
would doe anything for bribes, and the members also." And
that "Ales Stratton said that Goodwife Jones dyed wrongfully
and was no more a witch than she was." Hugh Clarke of Water-
town and Roxbury, Mr. Pemberton and wife Eleanor, and Samuel
Durkin were of the same opinion. But these people had to pay
for this "independence of thought."
warehouse be not plased so as to damnify the towns for their cattels = coming
to soft water."
1694 John Stratton contributed 10 shiUings toward mending the meeting-
house.
1696 John Stratton was one of a committee concerning locating the new
meeting-house.
1696 John Stratton, Sr., and John Stratton, Jr., "descentted" to call = Rev.
Mr. Angier to be minister for the whole town.
1706 John Stratton paid =C2=A36. 13. 1 toward building "a house to = entertaine
the minister in neer the meeting-house."
* This was probably the earliest execution in the region of Boston. = William
Jones was arraigned for the same crime, but escaped execution and = "petitioned
to go to the Barbadoes." He came to Cambridge from England in the
"Hercules" in 1634.
Samuel Stratton of Watertown 157
At the county court held at Cambridge October 30, 1649, it
was ordered that "Samuel Stratton, senior, and his wife should
appear before the publique assembly at Watertown the next
lecture Day to pay a fine of =C2=A35 and acknowledge their offense
committed against ye commonwealth & court, and acknowledge
ye justice & leniency of the court in dealing so mercifully with
them." And in case they refused to make full acknowledgment
they were to pay another fine of =C2=A35 more. The original paper
containing this order is thus inscribed: "The partyes did ac-
knowledge ye mercy of the magistrates sentence herein incerted
[ ?] dealt with them but of the charges laid upon them they
are of the same mind." *
At the court at Cambridge April 2, 1650: "Goodman Stratton
refusing to make full acknowledgement enjoyned by the court,
is enjoyned to pay five pounds he is granted liberty for payment
of ye same until the next 8"^ mo." No mention is made of Alice. f
And so it seems that Samuel Stratton incurred the displeasure
of the court and magistrates, and paid the fine for the privilege
of remaining "of the same mind." Like other Watertown men
he had "strong convictions and the courage to maintain them." J

{See Chart G)
1. Samuel Stratton was born in England about 1592, and
settled in Watertown, Mass., with wife Alice, as early, at least,
as 1647. Before 1657 Alice died. The date of her death has not
been learned. The last mention that has been found of her is
November 9, 1649).
June 27, 1657, Samuel married Margaret, daughter of Thomas

Bowlins, and widow of William Parker of Scituate and Boston.
They were married in Boston by Governor John Endicott. Mar-
garet died, a widow, in Watertown, December 7, 1676, aged 81
years. Samuel Stratton owned real estate in Watertown and
Concord, several lots, with mansion, barn, orchard, etc. His
descendants are found to-day in almost every State in the Union.
More than two thousand of them have been traced. In almost
every case they are among the substantial citizens of the towns
in which they dwell, many occupy positions of trust and honor. = WILL OF SAMUEL STRATTON ^

Although there is nothing in Samuel Stratton's will to indicate
that he had other children than these three sons, it is not at all
improbable that there were others who remained in England.
A more thorough study of the Strattons of County Kent, Eng.,
might discover the baptismal records of his children, and establish
his line there, and might account for other Strattons of New
England.
2. Samuel Stratton ^ (Samuel ^) was born in England and
probably came to Watertown with his father as early as 1647.
March 25, 1651, he married Mary Frye.
"1651. Samuell Straton and Mary fry Marryed the 25:1: m."
162 A Book of Strattons
She was probably a daughter of John Frye, who died in Andover
in 1693, but no record of her birth has been found. About four
years after their marriage they removed to Concord, where he
owned land and where his descendants lived for many genera-
tions.*
Mary died October 27, 1674. The following year Samuel
married Hannah "Wheat, daughter of Moses Wheat. The date
of her death is not known, but Samuel's death is thus recorded:
"Samuel Stratton, sen"' ye husband of Hanah his late wife dyed
December ye 5th day, 1707."

3. John Stratton ^ (Samuel ^) is first mentioned in Water-
town in 1652, though he is supposed to have come from England
with his father. March 10, 1658, he married Elizabeth Traine,
daughter of John and Margaret Traine of Watertown. She was
born September 30, 1640, and died May 7, 1708.
* Concord was founded in the fall of 1635 a plantation on the = site of an
old Indian village, Musketequid. Many of its early inhabitants were for = a
while in Watertown. At a town meeting, August 3, 1635, the voters of = Water-
town agreed that "there be too many inhabitants in the Town, and the = town
thereby in danger to be ruinated." Watertown was then about six miles
square, and had, according to Bond, one hundred landowners! Samuel
Stratton bought land in Concord of Thomas Adams in 1656 two = parcels,
with dwelling house, barn and orchards when he is called "a = planter."

his native town while quite a young man. He was at Charles-
town for a while, and in Boston and Andover, and then settled at
Chelmsford where he owned land and a mill. In the records he
is styled "Mr. Richard Stratton, miller." January 6, 1686, he
married Naomi (Hoyt) Lovejoy, widow of John Lovejoy of An-
dover. She died December 8, 1687, seven days after the birth of
their son Ichabod. Twelve years later, April 8, 1699, Richard
married Margaret Sheaf, who was born in Charlestown, May 12,
1673. His will is at Cambridge Courthouse. It is dated March 4,
1724, and proved the following year. His widow, Margaret,

16. John Stratton ^ (John,^ Samuel ^) was born August 24,
1661. He lived in Watertown, where the births of his five children
are recorded. He married Abigail (Prentice?) about 1688.
She died October 25, 1732, aged 66 years. He died, intestate,
February 20, 1718, and his estate was administered the following
year. Both are buried in the Old Arlington Cemetery, corner
Arlington and Mt. Auburn Streets, Watertown, where stones
mark their graves. (Nos. 211 and 212.) In the division of the
estate the five children are named. An inventory of the estate
includes the manor house, barn and orchard, and 30 acres of land
valued at =C2=A3300, and specifies =C2=A37, 6s. 9c?. per annum for the = main-
tenance of " Mr. John Stratton, the honored father of the deceased."

18. Joseph Stratton ^ (John,^ Samue l^) was born January 13,
1667; married Sarah Howe, daughter of Abraham and Hannah
(Ward) Howe, November 14, 1695. They settled in Marlboro,
Mass., where he owned several lots of land, where his name
appears frequently on the town records, and where he died
September 18, 1732, "between 2 and 3 o'clock in the morning,
in his 66 year." His widow, Sarah, died in Marlboro in 1646.
The legatees of her will, made September 29, 1746, and proved
November 10 of the same vear, were the four children named

lived in Watertown. He married Sarah Perry in Watertown,
December 20, 1699. They were married by "Mr. Henry Gibbs,
minister." This was a "double wedding," as the record says
Samuel was married at his father's house and his sister Rebecca
was married at the same time and same place. Sarah was a daugh-
ter of John and Sarah (Clary) Perry and was born in Watertown,

all under age. Jonathan Stone was appointed guardian for Sarah
and Elizabeth; Joseph Mason for Jonathan. March 20, 1726, the
sons, Samuel and Nathaniel, were appointed to administer their
mother's administration. Before the estate was settled, however,
Nathaniel died, and the business was finished by Samuel, with
Isaac Watson as surety.
23. Samuel Stratton ^ (Richard,^ Samuel ^) was born in
Watertown, April 8, 1658. His father died when he was but three
months old, and two and a half years later his mother married
again. By his grandfather's will in 1672 he was to have a house
and land in Watertown when he became of age. He was then
fourteen. We know nothing more of him until 1689, when we find
him with wife Ruth, living in Concord, Mass. Here his seven
children were born, and here he died in 1726. "Samuel Stratton

25. Hezekiah Stratton ^ (Samuel,^ Samuel,^ Samuel ^) was
born in Concord in 1689. In 1713 he went to Deerfield, Mass.,
and two years later settled at Northfield. He bought land in
Northfield as early as May 10, 1713, but does not seem to have
gone there to live until 1715. On July 12, 1717, he married Eliza-
beth Hawks, daughter of Eleazer Hawks of Deerfield. He was
one of the first permanent settlers of Northfield and one of the
influential men of the town. He was chosen surveyor in 1722;
was town treasurer in 1723, and selectman in 1721-28-40-41-43.
He was wounded by the Indians when Northfield was attacked
on the morning of October 9, 1723. He was a lieutenant under
Captain Elijah Williams in the French and Indian War. "Heze-
kiah and his six sons were brave and intelligent soldiers, who
served their country well." (History of Northfield.) Five of his
sons were landowners in Northfield in 1751. He died in Decem-
ber, 1756. His widow, Elizabeth, died April 9, 1788, aged 90
years.*

in Concord, July 17, 1690. He married Elizabeth Carter,
daughter of Sehrean and Eliza-
beth Carter of Concord, June
27, 1716. They resided in
Boston. He died in 1722-3,
and his widow, Elizabeth, married William Atkinson in 1725.
This is probably the John Stratton who is spoken of in Suffolk
County Court Files, Folio, 15-457, as a coaster and mariner. In
1721 he was sued by Samuel Dewey of Georgetown, Maine,
concerning some lumber. The "Pay Rolls" dated March 8, 1722,
to December 17, 1722, contain the name of "John Stratton,
mariner, in his majesties service to the Eastward" (i. e. on the
coast of Maine), as master and pilot commanding sloop " George,"
a transport.

In 1752, Joseph Stratton was in New Hampshire. That year
a charter was granted the town of Washington, N. H., and
among the signers to the petition were Joseph Stratton, gen-
tleman, and his son Nathan. February 12, 1753, Joseph
Stratton, Joseph Wheeler, John Mills, Jonathan Fisk and Abel
Miles, all of Concord, sold land in Washington, N. H., to Peter
Prescott of Concord. Joseph seems, however, to have returned
to Concord, and to be living their in 1765, but neither his, nor his
wife's death is recorded at Concord. When his daughter Elizabeth
died in 1802, the church records refer to her as the daughter of
the "Late Ensign Joseph Stratton." His will, made in 1773,
names only four children, Elizabeth, Dorothy, Jonas and John.

only son of "Mr. Richard Stratton" of Chelmsford.
He was born December 1, 1687. His mother died when he was
Samuel Stratton of Watertown 175
a week old, which may account for his name, Ichabod, i. e. "child
of sorrow." He learned the cooper's trade while a boy. He
lived in Chelmsford, Littleton,
Brookfield and Hardwich. In yn ^

1689, married Mercy Holden, daughter of William Holden, and
lived in Cambridge. Like his father he was "a weaver." Deeds
show that he bought and sold several pieces of land in Cambridge.
He lived on Mt. Auburn Street probably on the old homestead
of his great-grandfather, Samuel,^ which he, as eldest son, must
have inherited. He is mentioned in his grandfather's will in 1708.
He died March 27, 1735-6, aged 46, and is buried in the old
Arlington graveyard (No. 215). In the settlement of his estate
the five children below are mentioned. His widow, Mercy, married

town for about eleven years after their marriage and then re-
moved to Sherburne (now Sherborn), Mass., in 1736-7. His name
appears often on the records. In Watertown he owned several
lots of land, and was " tithing-man " for several years. In Sher-
born, he was one of the substantial men of the town. He made
his will October 26, 1764, and it was proved March 29, 1774. In

41. Joseph Stratton "* (Joseph,^ John,^ Samuel ^) was born in
Marlboro, Mass., March 10, 1696, and lived and died in his native
town. A deed shows that in 1748 he sold land in Marlboro to his
brother Jonathan. No wife joins him in this deed.
August 23, 1772, Joseph Stratton of Marlboro, and wife Abigail
convey to William Boyd, land in Marlboro, "excepting that part
set off to Betty, widow of Jonathan, as a part of her third."
March 2, 1767, Joseph Stratton, gentleman, of Marlboro, made
his will, which was proved May 31, 1778, by William Boyd, ex-
ecutor. The legatees are wife Abigail, Jonas Sanders, "if he stay
with me till he is 21," nephews, Aaron Brigham and Joseph
Temble, both of Grafton, and William Boyd. Abigail Stratton,
widow, died in Marlboro in 1795, leaving a will dated 1792. This
will gives legacies to Molly Rice "who lived with me before her
marriage;" to Louise Morse, "whom I brought up from her youth,
and to her two daughters Abigail who was named after me, and
Anne;" to Francis Morse and Louise his wife "from whom I have
received many favors and hope I have made them equal returns."
The greater part of their estate went to their adopted son,
William Boyd. He married Lydia Morse; served in the Revolu-
tion and died in Marlboro in 1817, aged 82 years.
44. Jonathan Stratton "* (Joseph,^ John,^ Samuel ^) was bom
in Marlboro, December 28, 1714. He married Elizabeth Brigham
of Marlboro, February 23, 1742. He inherited and succeeded to
178 A Book of Strattons
the homestead of his father in Marlboro, where he lived and died.
His name occurs often on the records there. He died August 10,
1758. His estate was administered by Hezekiah Maynard. His
widow, Elizabeth ("Betty") continued to live in Marlboro, where
she married Elisha Hodges in 1765. She died in 1793 and her son
Jonathan Stratton was appointed her administrator, March 11,
1794.

April 23, 1703. He lived in Watertown, where he owned real
estate, and is called both " a miller" and " a weaver." In 1732 he,
with others, petitioned the proprietors for half an acre of "ye
common and undivided land of Watertown upon which to erect
and maintain a windmill." He married twice, first Hannah
Smith of Dedham, October 28, 1725, and second Hannah Grover

tinental Army, under Captain Penhollow at Georgetown (now
Samuel Stratton of Watertown 179
Bath), Me., July 19 to November 14, 1722. Nothing more is
known of him until 1725, when we find him living in Weston with
wife, Rebecca. The following year he returned to Concord, and
lived there for several years, and then removed to Glastonbury,
Conn., where he bought land, April 18, 1743, for =C2=A3100, and June 6,

JOHN STRATTON^ OF WATERTOWN
{See Chart H)
1. John Stratton was married in Watertown, Mass., in 1667.
His marriage is thus recorded on the town books: "John Stratton
and Mary smith Joyned in Marryage the 26. 9mo. 1667." (Mary
Smith's ancestry is given on page 155.) From a deposition
taken in 1672, we learn that he was born in 1642; hence was
twenty-five years old at the time of his marriage.* His home
lot in Watertown was in the western part of the town and joined
the land of his father-in-law, Thomas Smith. Here John Stratton
died April 7, 1691, one month before the birth of his son Samuel.
The property remained undivided for some years, the eldest son,
John Stratton, Jr., "caring for his mother and her several small
children, out of his own proper estate, paying all ye debts truely
and honestly and further did manage the husbandry of ye living
left by his said father for full 9 years."
In January, 1701, "the younger children being well out of hand,
* Neither the place, nor exact date of his birth has been found. In 1670 = Zachariah Smith "of Piscatqua" met an "untimely death, killed by the
Indians." In the settlement of his estate in October, 1672, John = Stratton,
aged 30 years, of Watertown, and Stephen Smith, aged 25 years, gave = deposi-
tion concerning "our father Thomas Smith." (See page 155.)

Original Paper Concerning the Settlement of Estate of John
Strattox ^ OF Watertown
Photographed at Cambridge for this volume. {Page 182.)
John Stratton of Watertown 183
the Relect Widdow and her eldest son, did mutually agree to come
to a reckoning according to law and justice." Edward Winn,
attorney, of Woburn, was appointed to settle the estate. The
widow, Mary, continued to live with her eldest son (who had
married Bethshuah Applin) until his death in 1708, followed
within a year by the death of his wife, leaving several small chil-
dren. Then, John Applin, father of Bethshuah, moved with his
family into the house owned by " the late John Stratton," and paid
a yearly rent. Mary and her orphaned grandchildren seems to
have lived with the Applins. January 21, 1713, "John Applin
presented a paper showing that his son, John Stratton, died in
1708, and his daughter Bethshuah, wife of John Stratton, in 1709,
and that his daughter Mary Applin had charge of the children."
January 1, 1719, " a receipt was filed by John Applin from Mary
Stratton, widow, for her maintenance, in virtue of a bond given
by her eldest son John Stratton, Jr.," dated January 13, 1701.
Mary died September 27, 1719, having survived her husband
twenty-eight years.
Children: Born in Watertown.

- 4 James,2 b. Jan. 18, 1672; d. 1701 in Bristol County, Mass.,
"a single man." His estate was administered by his
brother-in-law, Henry Nicholson, barber, of Boston,
1702-03. He left a " certain sum of money in the hands
of Richard Greenall (or Greeval?) of Little Compton,
to be delivered unto my mother Mary Stratton, widow,
if she be living, in case of her decease to other relations
in Watertown, New England."

much desired.)
184 A Book of Strattons
-10 Mercy,2 bapt. July 30, 1687.
-11 Samuel/ bapt. May 10, 1691, "son of Widow Stratton."
This is probably the "Samuel Stratton, late a soldier
at Fort William" (Boston Harbor) for whom Henry
Nicholson was appointed administrator, Apr. 13, 1722.
Of this family the births of John, Thomas, James, Judee and
Jonathan are the only ones recorded on the town records of Water-
town; the baptisms of Mercy and Samuel are from the Bailey
manuscript; * court files show that Mary, Sarah and Hannah
belonged to this family; no evidence has been found of any other
children.
2. John Stratton ^ (John ^) was born March 3, 1668. He
was 23 years old when his father died, and was made joint executor,
with his mother, of the estate. For the years he had charge of
the property and cared for his mother and his younger brothers
and sisters, t February 15, 1690-91, he married Mary Butters.
Of this marriage no children are recorded. Mary, wife of John
Stratton, died in Watertown, November 15, 1695. He married,
second, Bethshuah Applin, daughter of John and Bethshuah
(Bartlett) Applin, of Watertown, January 3, 1698. This must
have been a "double wedding," as his sister, Mary, was married
same date, both by Rev. Samuel Angier. Bethshuah, daughter of
Thomas and Hannah Bartlett, was born in Watertown, April 17,
1647, and married John Applin, November 9, 1671. Their daughter,
Bethshuah Applin, was born May 1, 1673, and baptized Decem-
ber 5, 1686, her father "having that day owned ye covenant."
On March 16, 1708, John Stratton died, aged 40 years. Admin-
istration was granted his widow, Bethshuah, May 10, 1608.
Before another year Bethshuah died, April 27, 1609, = and
* Thomas Bailey was a minister at Watertown. At a town meeting in 1685,
it was voted that if "Mr. Bailey shall pleese cum to dwell amongst vs to = carry
on the wurke of ye ministry that ye town decleared that they would give = him
fower score pounds and his house rent free and suffityant fyreing for = the yeare. "
t A John Stratton bought 5 acres of land in Watertownn of Daniel Church
in 1688; 10 acres of woodland of John Smith in 1698; 10 acres of = woodland of
Lawrence in 1706. These lots were bounded in part by the lands of John = and
Joseph Smith and John Whitney. A closer study of deeds at Cambridge
might show which John Stratton made these purchases.
John Stratton of Watertown 185
John Applin was appointed administrator of the estate of his
"son and daughter, John and Bethshuah Stratton," and guardian
of their children.
Children: Baptisms from the Bailey manuscript.
-12 Mary ,3 bapt. Sept. 25, 1698.
-13 John,^ bapt. Aug. 8, 1701; d. "a, single man," "a soldier
to the eastward," under Capt. Moody. Administration
granted Jonas Smith in Watertown, Feb. 22, 1721.
-14 Rebecca,^ bapt. Aug. 8, 1701 (a twin); m., in Framing-
ham, Jabez Pratt of Framingham, Mar. 31, 1726.
+ 15 Jonathan,^ b. 1702.
-16 Bethshuah,3 bapt. Sept. 10, 1704.
There may have been other children, but these are the only
ones whose baptisms are recorded in Watertown. They were
probably baptized in their mother's right. For some reason
John Stratton did not have the births of his children entered on
the town books, and he may have had children by his first mar-
riage whose births were not recorded.
3. Thomas Stratton ^ (John ^) was born in Watertown in
1670 and married there in 1699. Town records: ''Thomas Strat-
ton son of John and Mary Stratton borne the 26 Day of October."
"Thomas Stratton and Dorcas maxwel Joyned in marriage:
July: 19: 1699." Dorcas Maxwell was a daughter of Thomas
and Dorcas Maxwell of Boston. She was born February 27, 1678.
Thomas Maxwell was a member of the "Scots Charitable So-
ciety" in Boston, which determines his nationality. From 1680
onward for about a quarter of a century, he was a "Sealer of
Leather" in the town of Boston, and in 1693 was a doorkeeper
in the "Great and General Court of the Massachusetts Bay
Provence."
Thomas and Dorcas Stratton lived in the Western Precinct of
Watertown, where nine children were born unto them. Decem-
ber 1, 1727, Thomas was chosen Surveyor of Highways. In 1731
the town paid him for timber from his farm for a bridge near
Deacon Livermore's mill. December 16, 1732, he was still living
in Watertown, when "consideration of ye petition of Thomas
Stratton and others was adjourned to ye next selectmans' meet-
ing." The petition did not come up at the next meeting, and the
186 A Book of Strattons
name does not later occur on the town or church books at Water-
town or Waltham. No record of the death of Thomas, nor that
of Dorcas, has been found. It is probable that they removed
with some of their children to some other town and died there.
Children : Born in Watertoion.

town in 1736.
Of this family David ^ is the only son who settled in Water-
town (later Waltham). He seems to have lived on the home-
stead farm; and some of his children lived there as late, at least,
as 1764. Of the sons Thomas,^ Samuel ^ and Ebenezer,^ in-
formation is much desired. This may be the Samuel Stratton
mentioned in the proprietor's records of Mendon who helped in
the survey of the town and had a grant of land April 26, 1736,
and who married Mary, daughter of Samuel Walker, of Framing-
ham, November 17, 1737, and in 1741 was in Hopkinton. The
compiler has no further record of him.
15. Jonathan Stratton^ (John,^ John^) was baptized by
Rev. Thomas Bailey in Watertown, August 9, 1702. In 1713
he was "an orphan," living with his grandfather, John Applin,
in the house that had belonged to his late father, John Stratton,
and was under the charge of his aunt, Mary Applin. In 1720
Jonas Smith, his father's cousin, was appointed his guardian.
In 1723 a Jonathan Stratton of Watertown bought thirty acres
of land in Weston, "with a mansion hous on it," of James Whitney
of Watertown. February 13, 1724, he mortgaged, to the com-
missioners of the "Land Bank Scheme," this same house and
land for =C2=A330. In both the deed and the mortgage he calls him-
self "Jonathan Stratton, husbandman." In March, 1725, and
John Stratton of Watertown 187
again in 1726, Jonathan Stratton, laborer, of Weston, sold land
in Weston. No wife signed these deeds. The boundaries of these
lands prove that the land sold by Jonathan Stratton, laborer,
was the land bought by Jonathan Stratton, husbandman. This
last deed, made in 1726, was not recorded until October 11, 1737.*
November 26, 1728, Jonathan Stratton of Weston and Deborah
Cutler of Watertown were married in Watertown by Rev.
Warham WiUiams "Minister of ye Gosple." t This marriage
record is found on both the Watertown and Weston town books.
No clew has been found to any children of this marriage, and
for ten years the name of Jonathan Stratton does not again occur
on the church or town records at Weston.
Among the deeds of Mendon, Mass., is this: Jonathan Stratton
of Mendon, housewright, sold to Jacob Gibbs of Hopkinton, for
=C2=A35 " all interest in any grant the General Court shall make for the = services of my late honored father, John Stratton, in the first
expedition to Canada." % This paper is dated November 12,
1735, acknowledged by Jonathan in Hopkinton, March 24, 1737,
but not recorded until March 10, 1739. (No record of a grant
for above services has been found.)
In the clerk of court's office at Cambridge is this: "Jonathan
Stratton and wife Deborah, were warned from Hopkinton Aug. 30,
1737. Mehitable Smith was under their charge." And from
Watertown Records (Vol. Ill, p. 175) is this:
"At a meeting of the Selectmen of Watertown on the 23"* day
of June 1738. It being Signified to the Selectmen that Samuel
Stowell and familie was Come to live in Watertown at one of his
Dwelling houses in s** Town who came from Waltham to Water-
town the 23"* day of May last. And that John Jenison had taken
to live with him one Robert Crow a Lad who came from Salem in
the county of Essex. Also the Selectmen are Informed that there is
one Deborah Stratton Wife of one Jonathan Stratton come to
dwel in Watertown who came last from Hopkinton Some time in
* Whether these land deals refer to this Jonathan Stratton, or to his = uncle
Jonathan Stratton ^ (John i) the compiler has found no means of = determining.
t Deborah, a daughter of E-phriam and Deborah Cutler, was born in Water- = town, January 11, 1705.
X This was probably the expedition against Montreal under General Win-
throp in King William's War. About 1735 the General Court had a spasm of = generosity toward its old soldiers and gave grants of land to many.

The records at Menton, Hopkinton, Waltham, Weston and
Watertown have been searched in vain for any later mention of
Jonathan with wife Deborah, and her name does not again occur
in the records of any of these towns. J The name of a Jonathan
Stratton appears again upon Weston records in 1738, and from
that time it occurs frequently there for more than half a century.
(See Chart J.)
17. James Stratton ^ (Thomas,^ John'^) was born in Water-
town, June 29, 1700. He married Deborah Rand, daughter of
William and Persis (Pierce) Rand. The Rands were one of the
good old families of Charlestown. Thomas Rand, the father of
William, was a son of Robert and Alice Rand who came to Charles-
town about 1636. Thomas married Sarah, daughter of Edmund ^
and Elizabeth (Whitman) Edenden of Scituate and Boston. Persis
was the daughter of Samuel and Mary Peirce and granddaughter
* Ephriam Cutler married Deborah, daughter of John and Sarah Stone in
1703. He moved from Watertown to Brookfield about 1739.
t This "warning out of town," which sounds so harsh to-day, was then
often but the common notice of the weekly selectmen's meeting to put on
record the fact that the "said persons" had recently come to town and = were
not recognized as townsmen, and the town, by giving this legal notice, = could
not in any way be held responsible for them. In one case, in Watertown, = a
woman "warned out of town," died soon after, while her husband was = abroad,
and the town gave her a sumptuous funeral, showing that she was a much
respected person.
X Dorchester town records has this:
" March 27, 1750. Jonathan Clapp of Dorchester, born in 1705, married
Deborah Stratten of Braintree, as second wife."
The Clapp Genealogy says:
"Jonathan Clapp m. Deborah Straten of Braintree but a member of the
church at Waltham. She died Feb. 16, 1780, aged 75 years."
Who this Deborah was (or whether maid or wndow at the time of her mar-
riage with Jonathan Clapp) has not been determined.
John Stratton of Watertown 189
of Thomas and Elizabeth Peirce, who came to Charlestown about
1634. She was born January 30, 1668-9, and died June 25,
1748. She married, first, John Shepherd in 1690, who died the
following year; and married, second, William Rand, who was
born September 11, 1674, and died February 9, 1747. Their
daughter Deborah married James Stratton,^ October 12, 1721,
in Watertown.
For five or six years after their marriage James and Deborah
lived in Charlestown and Boston, and then removed to Stoning-
ton. Conn., where they united with the church and where they
lived for about seven years. Three of their children were born
there. In the spring of 1736 they left Stonington, and, returning
to Massachusetts, settled at Athol (then called "Pequoid" or
Payquage Plantation), where land was granted him and he be-
came one of the proprietors of the town, and where some of his
descendants live to this day. The exact date of Deborah's death,
and of the births of the younger children, cannot be ascertained,
as the records of the first fifteen years of Athol were burned.
In a paper signed by James Stratton in 1748, concerning some
money coming to his children from the estate of their grand-
parents, William and Persis Rand of Charlestown, he refers to
his "late wife Deborah." His home was on "The Street" (now
Pleasant Street) in that part of Athol then known as "East
Pequoid Hill." *
James Stratton made his will March 15, 1774, and it was pro-
bated November 6, 1776. His death occurred October 22, 1776.
He was doubtless buried in the old cemetery on Mill Brook, where
* In July, 1732, the "Great and General Court" ordered the laying out of = the township of Pequoid six miles square. The committee of survey was = in-
structed to "lay out sixty- three house-lots, two for religious = purposes, one for
a schoolhouse, and one for each of the sixty proprietors who should = settle
there on." No settlement was made until September, 1735, when five men
with their wives "set out on foot from Hatfield, with their clothing, = provisions
and furniture on their backs" to build new homes in the dense forest. = These
were Richard and Samuel Morton, Ephraim Smith, John Smeed and Joseph
Lord. The following spring they were joined by others, among whom was
James Stratton. And here in the wilderness, fifteen miles from any white = settlement, surrounded by prowling, hostile and treacherous Indians, = these
heroic men and women courageously endured privations and hardships, and
laid the foundations for the prosperity, independence and happiness of = their
descendants.

John Stratton of Watertown 193
Samuel Morton married Lydia, daughter of Nathaniel and Mary
(Dickinson) Smith, in Hatfield in 1731, and became one of the
"five first settlers" of Athol.
The marriage of his daughter Abigail to James Stratton, Jr.,
was the first marriage in the church of Athol, by its first minister,
Rev. James Humphreys, A meetinghouse had been built by the
first settlers, but was burned before it was quite completed. The
next was built on "The Street," near the Fort. Here religious
services were held, but no church was organized "with an ortho-
dox minister" until May, 1750. The Mortons were active in its
organization.
James Stratton was elected selectman in 1774-75-76-78. The
date of Abigail's death is not recorded. James died July 29,

was with his brother Stephen at the reduction of Burgoyne. In
his native town he was noted for his wit and humor, and many
stories are told by his descendants of his humorous sayings and
readiness in repartee; also of his love of music. He married
Elizabeth Kendall, daughter of Jesse and Elizabeth (Evans)
Kendall. Lieutenant Samuel Kendall, father of Jesse, was one of
the " five first settlers " of Athol in 1734. He served in the French
and Indian War, was a man of great activity and enterprise, and

Waltham, December 26, 1742; married Dinah (Wheeler?) about
1769. For two or three years following their marriage they lived
in Stow, and then settled in Bolton, Mass., where he was a
farmer.* His name appears upon the Lexington Alarm Rolls,
* The plantation between Concord and Lancaster at first bore the Indian
name "Pompossitticut," and in 1683 was established as Stow. Bolton was
a part of Lancaster until June 24, 1738. The bounds between Stow and
Marlboro were not established until 1783. Parts of the original = plantation
were later included in the towns of Sudbury, Harvard, Boxboro and Hudson =
and in all these towTis Stratton records have been found.

Strattons of Waltham and Weston
On the records at Watertown (later Waltham) and Weston
appear, in 1717 and 1738, the names of two Strattons of whose
parentage proof is yet lacking, although long and faithful search
has been made for the same Joseph Stratton of Waltham and
Jonathan Stratton of Weston.
That they belong to one or the other of the two Watertown
lines (Samuel,^ or John ^) there is no shadow of a doubt.*
Bond, and other recognized auWiorities, supposed them to be
the sons of Joseph Stratton ^ of Marlboro. Original papers at Cam-
bridge prove that they do not belong to the Marlboro branch, f
Joseph ^ (John,^ Samuel ^) had two sons, Joseph and Jonathan,
but they are fully accounted for on pages 169, 177 and 178. Jo-
seph, Jr., of Marlboro evidently left no descendants (page 177),
while the children of his brother Jonathan ^ are fully traced.
Also, see Jonathan,'* son of Samuel, on page 170.
On the following pages is shown all that has thus far been found
concerning these two men. The search for further data concerning
them has been most thorough; still it is not impossible that among
unindexed and unclassified material in Cambridge Court Files,
or elsewhere, may yet be found some record which will prove their
places on the Stratton "genealogical tree."
JOSEPH STRATTON OF WALTHAM
(See Chart I)
On the "Second Book for the Registry of Births, Deaths and
Marriages for the town of Watertown" is this entry: "Joseph
* It might be well to recall here, that the house of Samuel Stratton i = (in-
herited by his son John ^ and John's children) was in the eastern = precinct of
Watertown, a part of which later became Cambridge; while the house of = John
Stratton i was in the west precinct. In 1708 a "heap of stones" on the = land
of John Stratton was on the dividing line between Waterto'w-n proper and = Watertown farms later Weston. See Watertown Records, Vol. II, = p. 183.
t The writer has fovmd nothing to prove any relationship between Joseph
of Waltham and Jonathan of Weston, but there was certainly very close = in-
timacy between their families, and their homes were not far apart.
198 A Book of Strattons
Stratton and Sarah Eager both of Watertown wer Married by
Mr. Samuel Angier, a minister of the Gosple in S** Town, June 14th
1717." No record of his birth has
/t =C2=BB^^f Q been found, but the record of his
\J(fy9^'^ ACYfiJbCPty age at the time of his death shows
that he was born about 1690, hence
was about 27 years old at the time
of his marriage. By trade he was a cordwainer, and deeds show
that Joseph Stratton, cordwainer, bought land in Watertown
in 1716-20-22-24. At a town meeting held in Watertown, March
6, 1726, he was chosen constable. To this office he was again
chosen in 1727-30-31. In 1732 he was chosen tithing-man. In
this same year (March 6) he bought a piece of land of John Sto-
well, paying =C2=A3149 for it, and March 21, 1743, he bought of Joseph
Mansfield stilJ another tract, of seven acres, for which he paid = =C2=A399.
These two tracts joined the land he already owned and were
bounded on the south by the town way, and were in Waltham.
Sarah Hager, daughter of Samuel and Sarah Hager, was bap-
tized in Watertown "ye 24th of May, 1691." Samuel was son of
William and Mary (Bemis) Hager, and was born in Watertown,
March 20, 1645.
To Joseph and Sarah Stratton seven children were born. The
births of none of them are recorded in Watertown until 1730-1,
when the births of the first six were recorded at one time, on page
73, of the " Second Book for the Registry of Births," etc.
Children: Probably born in Watertown.

Joseph Stratton of Waltham 199
-7 Joseph, b. Apr. 25, 1729; d. Oct. 17, 1750; unm.
+ 8 Benjamin, b. 1732.
It will be noticed that the eldest son, Joseph, Jr., died at the
age of twenty-one years. He was buried in Grove Hill Cemetery,
Waltham, where a stone stands to his memory.
In 1754, Joseph and Sarah entered into an agreement with their
only living son, Benjamin, whereby he was to have charge of the
homestead, and of several tracts of land "to improve on shares,
and to conduct himself in every respect in such a suitable manner
relating to the premises, as to render himself a comfort & blessing
to his aged parents, the said Joseph and Sarah, and that their
lives may be made comfortable to them, which is the thing pro-
posed in the transaction between the said Joseph and Benjamin,
the father and son." This agreement was made May 7, 1754, and
recorded February 5, 1760. November 26, 1770, Joseph, "being
aged and weak in body" made his will. This will mentions his
wife Sarah, the five daughters named above, and son Benjamin.
He lived six years after making this will. In Grove Hill Cemetery,
Waltham, stand two gravestones with these inscriptions:
Joseph Stratton died March 10, 1776
in 86"^ yr.
Sarah, wife of Joseph Stratton
died Feb. 8, 1771 in 80**^ year.
8. Benjamin Stratton (Joseph) was born in Watertown,
May 19, 1732. He married Hepsebah Stearns, daughter of John
Stearns, February 2, 1764. She was born in Watertown, No-
vember 12, 1741. Benjamin lived on the home farm in Waltham
until September 7, 1778 two years after the death of his = father
when he sold this homestead (40 acres, with dwelling house and
barn) to Leonard Williams of Waltham, for $1,200. Four months
later, December 2, 1778, he bought two tracts of land (80 acres) in
Newton and went there to live. This land joined the land of John
Stratton (son of John,"* John,^ John,^ Samuel ^)of Cambridge Village.
The following year, 1779, Benjamin Stratton of Newton sold
of John Stratton of Cambridge, for =C2=A3500, seven acres of land in
Waltham, "together with the privilage for him and his heirs and
assignees to pass and repass through the said Benjamin's other
land as the path now is, with sleds, carts, &c." The boundaries
200 A Book of Strattons
show that this is the same seven acres of land that Benjamin's
father, Joseph, bought in 1743.
On the same date, November 30, 1779, John Stratton sold to
Benjamin Stratton for =C2=A3600, eleven acres in Newton joining the
land Benjamin had bought in 1778. On January 14, 1785, Benja-
min sold the remainder of his land in Waltham to Isaac Gleason,
for =C2=A3130, "excepting the privilage that I have heretofore granted
to the aforesaid John Stratton of passing across the premises." *
In all these deeds Hepsibah Stratton signs "in token of her
consent."
Children: Born in Waltham.

Benjamin was a Revolutionary soldier, from Waltham, at Lex-
ington, April 19, 1776. He died in Newton, where an inventory of
his estate was made December 14, 1791. The estate was assigned
to Joseph, eldest son, of Roxbury on condition that he settle
with his brothers and sisters. November 1, 1796, he sold the es-
tate to Nicholas Thwing for $2,000 30 acres, and 3 acres with
dwelling house "it being the whole of the estate that my late
honored father died seized of," and paid his brothers and sisters
$441.72 each.
JONATHAN STRATTON OF WESTON
(See Chart J)
Jonathan Stratton of Weston and Dinah Bemis of Waltham
had their "intentions of marriage" published, October 15, 1738.
* In these land dealings between Benjamin Stratton and John Stratton
there is nothing to indicate relationship between them, nor any = particular
intimacy between their families.
Jonathan Stratton of Weston 201
They were married in Waltham the first day of the following month
by Rev. Warham Williams. Dinah, daughter of Joseph and
Elizabeth (Peirce) 5emis was born in Water! own, April 23, 1718.*
In 1743 Jonathan bought 40 acres of land in Weston, paying
=C2=A3205 for it. This land was in the northwestern part of the
town, near the Lincoln line. From this date until 1774 he bought
other tracts of land adjoining his first purchase, amounting in
all to about 400 acres. In the first deeds he calls himself
"Jonathan Stratton, housewright." After 1763 he is styled
"Jonathan Stratton, Gentleman."
In 1757-9, he was in the French and Indian War, enlisting in
Captain Elisha Jones' company, and being "returned from Lake
George with Col. Nicholas " in 1759. In 1762 he was in a company
of militia and is called "Lieutenant" in the town records. In
1767-9 he was one of the selectmen of Weston. He was at Lex-
ington, April 19, 1776, under Captain Samuel Lawson.
By trade he was a carpenter and housewright. f His name
appears often on the town records, and he was evidently a man of
energy and enterprise. His land deal in 1774 includes 70 acres, a
mansion house and other buildings, then known as the Allen place,
situated on the road (now Concord Street) a little southeast of
his first purchase in Weston. Before 1782 he had moved into this
"mansion house," and had turned his former home over to his
sons Isaac and Elisha. Here he spent the remainder of his long
life, and at his death gave this homestead to his youngest son,
John, whom he made sole executor of his will, dated January 24,
1794. John, however, lived but a few weeks after the death of his
father, and the will was executed by Joseph Russell (a neighbor,
and a brother of Elisha Stratton's wife), who was also executor of
John's will.
* Joseph was a son of John and Mary {Harrington) Bemis of Watertown.
John was son of Joseph and Sarah Bemis, and brother of Mary who married
WilHam Hager. EHzabeth was daughter of Joseph and Martha Peirce.
t At a town meeting, May 30, 1767, the town "paid Lieut. Jonathan Strat- = ton for 38 days work on the meeting house at 4/ per day, and his son = Jona-
than jr for 17 days at 3/ per day."
202 A Book of Strattons
This homestead was long a landmark in Weston, remaining
in the family four generations.
The old " mansion house" was taken down by George Dunn, who
married Isabella Viles, whose mother, Abigail (wife of David
Viles) was a daughter of John Stratton. In its place was built a
new house, which is still standing, in the construction of which
some parts of the old mansion house were used.*
Mr. Dunn sold the place to John Ford, owner of the Youths'
Companion, who built a larger house at a little distance from the
Dunn house. The heirs of Mr. Ford sold the estate to Mr. Grant
Walker of Boston who has altered and improved the house and
grounds.
Among the voters taxed in Weston in 1793, are:
Lieutenant Jonathan Stratton =C2=A328 *
Daniel Stratton 27
Lieutenant Isaac Stratton 26
Elisha Stratton 20
The following year Jonathan is not taxed, while John, who
paid no tax in 1793, is taxed =C2=A328, showing that Jonathan had
practically turned over all his real estate to his sons. This is
shown, too, by deeds of gift made by him at various times.
In 1782 Jonathan paid one poll tax.f In 1797 Isaac, Elisha and
John paid for one poll each, Daniel for two polls, and Jonathan is
put down on the list for one poll, "not taxable." J Again, on a
tax list dated October 21, 1801, is: "Jonathan Stratton, one poll,
not taxable." This is the last mention found of him. The citation
to his widow and heirs is dated October 13, 1702. He must have
died between these two dates. The inventory of his estate is
dated December 3, and his will was proved in court December 8,
1802. The most thorough search has failed to find any record of
his death, or of Dinah's death. =C2=A7
* At what date this mansion house was built, it is impossible to = determine.
The Aliens were in Watertown as early as 1664 and their house was then = in
that part of the town which was set off as Weston.
t The compiler has found no later date of a poll tax from Jonathan = Stratton,
but the tax lists for several years at this period are incomplete.
I A man paid poll tax for his sons from 16 to 21 years of age. At 80 = years he
was exempted from paying a poll tax for himself.
=C2=A7 It will be noticed that the will says he was "advanced in age and = under
the decays of nature." We know he lived seven years after the making of
Jonathan Stratton of Weston 203
Jonathan and Dinah "owned ye covenant" and were admitted
into church membership at Weston, February 25, 1739, and in

6. Jonathan Stratton {Jonathan) was born in Weston,
March 8, 1746. Nothing more is known of him until he is twenty-
two years old, when we find these two entries on the Weston Town
Records:
"The Intentions of Marriage Between Jonathan Stratton jun'
and Sarah Child Both of Weston Were Entered, august 21*',
1768."
"Jonathan Stratton ju' & Sarah Child Both of Weston Were
Joyned in marriage by the Rev' M' Sam" Woodward minister
of the Gospel in Weston Sep* 20, 1768."
Sarah Child was a daughter of Shuhaal, Jr., and Sarah (Stratton)
Child and was born in January, 1747. Her mother was the second
daughter of Joseph Stratton of Waltham (See Chart I), and her
father was son of Shubaal and Abigail (Hartwell) Child one of
the oldest families of Weston.
Jonathan, like his father, was a carpenter, as well as a farmer.
March 4, 1776, he enlisted as a soldier in the Revolution and was
with Captain Jonathan Fisk's company at Dorchester Heights.
September 3, 1777, he sold to his brother, Daniel Stratton, 99 acres
of land in Weston, "it being the interest of his wife in the Child
estate." February 7, 1778, he was paid =C2=A315 for his services in
the town's quota of men.
A few months later he removed from Weston to the Narragan-
sett plantation in Worcester County, Mass. From this plantation
the new town of Gerry (name changed to Phillipston in 1814)
208 A Book of Strattons
was formed in 1786, and Jonathan Stratton, Jr., was one of its
first selectmen. He bought land here, and the deeds of Worcester
County show that for the next
#/ r /^ijtJ quarter of a century he dealt
^Ot\JxJu\/Jill\ OiAXChiM^ <^ui*6 extensively in real estate
Q in that section, and was a man
of enterprise and business
ability. He died in Phillipston, December 1, 1819, aged 73
years. Sarah lived to the age of 98 years and 6 months, dying
August 23, 1846, in Phillipston.*

7. Daniel Stratton {Jonathan) was born May 9, 1748. Like
his father he was a carpenter and housewright, as well as a farmer.
By his father's will Daniel is to have "all my Carpenter's tools."
He seems to have been a man of much energy and enterprise.
Repeatedly he was taxed for his "faculty" (income from his
trade). In 1772 he had =C2=A380 out at interest and was paying a tax
on real estate. In 1777 he bought 99 acres of land with buildings,
of his brother Jonathan, Jr., and paid =C2=A3456. 13s. 2d. for the same. = With his father and brother Elisha he responded to the "Lexing-
ton Alarm" on the eventful April 19, 1775. In 1798 Daniel Strat-

ton, owner and occupant, paid taxes on, 1 house and 1 acre of
land, also 99 acres, also 13 acres, in Weston, and for 2 polls.
October 30, 1775, he married Martha Fuller of Newton. They
were married in Waltham.* Their intentions of marriage had been
published in Weston, August 19. Daniel and his brother John
were " Independents " and were not taxed for the minister. Daniel
died October 13, 1816, and a stone stands to his memory in the
Central Burying Ground in Weston. Martha died October 8,
1820, aged 65 years.

8. Isaac Stratton {Jonathan) was born in Weston, June 26,
1751, and baptized by Rev.' Seth Storer, July 21. He married
"in the church" at Weston, February 10, 1784, Sarah Jones,
daughter of Nathan and Sarah (Seaverns) Jones, who was born in
Weston, March 1, 1760. Nathan was a son of Elisha and Mary
Jones, and brother of Nathum Jones of Weston. Sarah Seaverns
was daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth Seaverns.
Isaac was lieutenant of a company of militia. In 1774 this com-
pany seemed to think they were Tories, and they organized tO'

fight for the king. Later, the committee of the town presented
the Massachusetts Provincial Congress with the signed recantation
of the whole company, dated April 7, 1775. The blame was laid
(and was probably due) upon the smooth tongue of the man who
organized the company, and Congress agreed to accept the
excuse, provided the town committee kept an eye upon said
signers.
In 1798, as shown by the tax receipts of Weston, Isaac and
Elisha Stratton were "owners and occupants" of a house and lot
in Weston, and were paying taxes on 99 acres, 80 perches of land
valued at $2,000. This house was on a " turn of the Great Road "
(now Concord Street), in the northwestern part of the town.
Isaac died January 23, 1823.

Russell, son of Joseph and Susannah (Upham) Russell,

There were two other children, who died in infancy, in 1785 and
1786. The data of this family is mostly from private records.
The births of the children are not recorded in Weston, though
they were probably born there. The record of Isaac's death is on
the Weston town books.
9. Elisha Stratton (Jonathan) was the fourth son and was
born October 2, 1753. He was at Lexington, April 19, 1776, in
Captain Samuel Lawson's company. He was lieutenant in a com-
pany of militia, and later is called "Colonel" in the town records.
September 18, 1776, he married Mehitable Russell, daughter of
Jonathan Stratton of Weston 211
Thomas and Hepsibeth {Nichols) Russell, who was born in Water-
town, April 21, 1756. Her name appears 1814 to 1818, as a mem-
ber of the "One Cent Society" of Weston. The one hundred
and twenty-five members of this early woman's missionary
society pledged themselves to contribute one cent a week for the
"support of missionaries and other instructors, and purchase
Bibles and other useful books for the poor and destitute." Feb-
ruary 22, 1794, at a church meeting "to know the mind of the
church whether they will in any respect alter the terms on which
one may be admitted to membership," it was decided to appoint
a committee of five "to examine into the whole business, and re-
port at a future day." One of this committee was Elisha Stratton.
Both Elisha and Mehitable are buried in the Central Burying
Ground in Weston. A stone marks each grave.

12. John Stratton (Jonathan) was baptized in Weston,
January 13, 1760, b)^ Rev. Samuel Woodward. He was next to
the youngest son, his younger brother, Braddyll, dying in child-
hood, and his older brothers having settled in homes of their
own. John lived at the homestead and cared for his parents in
their old age. He married, March 2, 1785, Abigail Russell, daugh-
ter of Thomas and Hepsibeth (Nichols) Russell, a sister of his
brother Elisha's wife.
By his father's will the homestead was given to John, but he
lived only a short time after his father's death.* His own will
was made November 15, 1802, and his death occurred the same
day. Joseph Russell, his wife's brother, was his executor. April 5,
1806, his widow married Seth Babcock of Weston.

made of "the maple desk" which in his will is given to his son John.

EDWARD STRATTON OF BERMUDA
HUNDRED, VIRGINIA
(See Chart F)
"It is only shallow-minded pretenders, who either make distinguished = origin a
matter of personal pride, or obscure origin a matter of personal = reproach."
Daniel Webster.
ONE of the very early settlements on the James River above
Jamestown was " Henrico City," named in honor of Prince
Henry. It had but a short existence, but left its name upon
Henrico County. Later, Bermuda Hundred on the south side of
the James at the mouth of the Appomattox was settled by Sir
Thomas Dale. In 1631 a patent of land along the James was
granted to Thomas Pawlett. In 1645 a blockhouse, for the
protection of the settlers against the Indians, was built where
Richmond now stands. In the spring of 1674 the Virginia gov-
ernment gladly gave Captain William Byrd a liberal grant on
condition that he would settle thereon "fifty able-bodied men
to defend the nation." He built a strongly fortified house on the
brow of the hill, and a warehouse on the site now occupied by
the Exchange Hotel (Richmond). It was probably at this time
that the first Stratton came to Henrico County. Many new
settlers came at about this time, both from England and from
the eastern part of Virginia and settled on the rich lands along
the James. Many of the early records have been destroyed, and
but few old land marks in the vicinity of Bermuda Hundred are
left standing. The old burying ground, once a part of the Strat-
ton farm, at Bermuda Hundred, and where, in all probability,
three generations of Edward Strattons were buried, was long ago
abandoned as a burial place. Only a few broken, half-buried and
almost wholly effaced stones mark the place. (See picture of
this burial place.) It is the desire of some of the descendants to
place here a small monument, or marker, with an appropriate
inscription, in memory of these long ago ancestors of our name.
214 A Book of Strattons
At just what date Edward Stratton ^ came to Henrico County
the writer has not been able to learn, but he was living in Bermuda
Hundred in that part of Henrico which later became Chesterfield
County, as early as 1674. He was then a man of at least thirty-
eight years of age, hence born as early as 1633. The = probabilities
are that he was a much older man.*
Of his first wife, the mother of his children, we know nothing. f
He married her before 1655, and she died before 1776. Some time
before 1679 he married Martha Shippy, widow of Thomas Shippy
of Bermuda Hundred. | She died about 1695, leaving a will dated
July 24, 1692.=C2=A7
Some time between 1671 and 1676 Edward Stratton bought
287 acres of land at Bermuda Hundred. The land had been
granted to Martin Elam and by him conveyed to Stratton. Later,
this land was found "to escheat unto his majisty from John
Zouch, Esq.; but Col. William Byrd obtained an assignment of
said escheat and re-assigned it to Edward Stratton as per Wm.
Byrd's deed, July 1, 1681." 1| June 1, 1687, Edward Stratton,
for 15 pounds sterling, deeded one-half of this land to Thomas
Poulden.
* He may have been a son of Joseph Stratton ^ of James City, but as not
the slightest evidence of this has bqen found, he will be considered in = this
volume as the first of his line in America.
It seems not unlikely that his ancestry may be found in Wiltshire, = England.
Wills of the Edward Strattons of Wiltshire are found in the prerogative = court
of Canterbury, and many inquisitions post-mortem on the Wiltshire hne = are
on record in London.
t The diary of Robert Thurston of Martin's Hundred, Va., indicates that
there was an early marriage between a Thurston and a Stratton. The = Thurs-
tons were closely connected with the Gibbs family, early settlers in = Virginia.
A further study of these families might reveal her ancestry.
J The Shippeys were among the very early settlers of this region. Thomas = Shippey, Sr., was granted 300 acres of land "about 3 miles above Curies = on
Great Branch of Four Mile Creek," July 24, 1637.
=C2=A7 Her sister, Mary who was aged about 50 years in 1688, = and was the wife
of Gilbert Piatt was her executrix. The will mentions her = children by
Thomas Shippey. Her daughter, Martha Shippey, married Edward Strat-
ton, Jr.
II This deed is thus recorded on the First Book of Deeds, Henrico = County, p.
171: "Edward Stratton, planter, of Henrico Co. Deed for 287 acres from
William Byrd on south side James river. July 1, 1681. Consideration 1600 = pounds Tobacco."

Edward Stratton of Bermuda Hundred 215
April 27, 1686, Edward Stratton and Abel Gower were granted
489 acres of land in Henrico County "according to most ancient
bounds formerly granted to Geo. Browning." (Book 7, p. 508.)
This land was on the south side of the James, just north of the
mouth of the Appomattox River. This land in 1708 belonged to
his grandson Edward Stratton.^
The will of Edward Stratton, Sr., dated December 1, 1688,
names only "my loving wife and my son Edward Stratton,
junior." His daughter, Rebecca, had probably had her portion
at the time of her marriage. If there were other children no
mention of them has been found. He died soon after the mak-
ing of this will, in which he refers to himself as being in a "sick
and weak condition."

2. Edward Stratton ^ (Edward ^) was executor of his father's
will in 1688. He was born in 1655, as shown by depositions taken
at various times in Henrico County. He lived in Bermuda Hun-
dred. At the age of twenty-two years he had married Martha
Shippey, as shown by a deed of gift from Thomas Shippey to
"Edward Stratton, junior, and his wife, Martha, my daughter."
The deed is for a "tract of land and an island " in Henrico County.
This "tract of land" was probably the 46 acres in Bermuda
Hundred, containing the dwelling house where he lived and died.
The same is mentioned in his will. In 1717, his son, Edward
Stratton,^ sold this land to Francis Epps, Esq, "46 acres more = or less, excepting 6 foot square of land where my father is buried,"
so reads the deed.
October 20, 1691, Edward Stratton and John Warsham were
granted 879 acres in Henrico County on the north side of Swift
Creek.* He also owned 150 acres south of this creek as shown
by a deed dated February 1, 1691. And in 1703, April 24, his
widow, Martha Stratton, " and others" were granted 4,000 acres
on the north side of Appomattox River, in Henrico County. His
will is dated August 27, 1698, and proved December 1st of the
same year. This will mentions his estate "both in England and
Virginia." When this will was made he was 43 years old and had
lived at Bermuda Hundred at least 27 years, t He died within a
few weeks after this will was made. His children married into
some of the prominent families of Henrico, Chesterfield and Prince
George Counties. His widow married John Brown of Henrico,
and died in 1721. His will mentions but one daughter, but in the
settlement of the estate, in Virginia, after the widow's death, the
five daughters are mentioned.

* The name of Warsham appears often in connection with the Strattons,
and it may be that the Warshams and Strattons were connected by an early = marriage of which no record has yet been found. Other names found in = con-
nection with the Strattons of Henrico, are Wormach, Kendall, Gower, = Epps,
Travers and Mosley. They were neighbors, and evidently friends, in = Virginia.
They may have come from the same neighborhood in England.
t If he had an "estate" in England some administration or court proceed- = ing there might show it. It is hoped that further search may some time = be
made.

7. Edward Stratton ^ (Edward,^ Edward ^) was born about
1679, and was less than 19 years of age when his father died.
He was an only son and by his father's will was given all the lands
that his father died "possessed with." Some time between 1703
and 1708 he married Anne Batte, daughter of Henry Batte of
Prince George County. From her father's estate she inherited
250 acres of land in Bristol Parish, Prince George County.
In 1708 and in 1717 Edward Stratton and wife Anne sold parts
of their estate at Bermuda Hundred. They were still living there,
however, in June, 1719, after which nothing has been found con-
cerning him.* It is not known at what date he died; but in 1749
his widow, Anne Stratton, made a deed conveying to her son,
William Stratton, land on the south side of the James River
"where the said Anne now dwelleth," and this is the latest men-
tion found of her. This land conveyed to William seems to have
been a part of the land which had belonged to the first Edward
Stratton in 1686, the old Stratton homestead in Henrico (now
Chesterfield) County. It probably passed out of the hands of the
Strattons in the fourth generation.
Children: Born in Bermuda Hundred.
-10 William,"* living in Bermuda Hundred in 1749.
+ 11 Thomas,^ from whom many descendants are fully traced
to the present generation.
It is not unlikely that there were other children.
* Diligent search has been made for his will, or any settlement of his = estate
thus far without success.
Edward Stratton of Bermuda Hundred 219
How long William possessed the land conveyed to him by his
mother is not known. Tradition says he is the ancestor of un-
located Virginia Strattons of to-day. Proof is wanted.* Many
of the early records of Chesterfield and adjoining counties were
destroyed during the Civil War. Bermuda Hundred was the
scene of much fierce fighting. None of the Colonial houses were
left standing.
11. Thomas Stratton ** (Edward,^ Edward,^ Edward^) was
probably born in Bermuda Hundred about 1710-15. He was a
farmer and lived, after his marriage, on his farm in Dale Parish,
Chesterfield County, and was a man of some prominence in
that section. He owned several large tracts of land, one of
which was in Cumberland County, about 50 miles west of his
home.
He was married before 1749, possibly as early as 1730. His
wife, Elizabeth Elam, was the daughter of Robert Elam, Sr., a
wealthy planter of Chesterfield.
In 1749 he sold 100 acres of land on the "south side of the
James" to William Womach. His wife joins him in this deed.
This was doubtless land which he inherited from his father and
was a part of the original Stratton estate at Bermuda Hundred.
He died in 1773-4. His will, made September 24, 1773, was
proved in court in January, 1774, by the two witnesses, Richard
Batte and Peter Elam.
Children: Born in Dale Parish, Va.
12 Thomas,^ executor of his father's will in 1773. Died be-
fore July, 1781. His will, made Nov. 26, 1775, names
only his two brothers, one sister and two sisters-in-law.
No wife is named in the settlement of his estate. He
probably died unmarried.

14. Henry Stratton ' (Thomas,^ Edward,^ Edward,^ Ed-
ward ^) was born in Dale Parish, Chesterfield County, Va. In the
Revolutionary War he was a lieutenant in the naval service and
later drew a pension of land. Papers on file at Richmond show
that in 1779 and 1780 he advanced a considerable sum of money
to purchase necessary materials and provisions, and in discharg-
ing seamen's wages. On March 3, 1781, he settled his account
Edward Stratton of Bermuda Hundred 221
with William Armstead, commercial agent for the Government,
whose certificate of that date acknowledges a balance due said
Stratton of =C2=A34,987, 2s., paper money. From his father he in-
herited a farm near Bermuda Hundred, and by his brother
Thomas's will he came into possession of the home farm in Dale
Parish. He married Sarah Hampton, and they became the
parents of thirteen children. Some years after their marriage
they removed to Bedford County, where 175 acres of land was
granted to Henry Stratton, on the south side of Goose Creek,
May 20, 1770. He died in the autumn of 1799. Both he and
his wife are buried in the old family cemetery, near Liberty,

The descendants of John Stratton (15) of Cumberland and
Pawhatan are connected by marriage with many of the fine old
families of that part of Virginia. Quite a number of them have
been traced down to the present generation. They are found
throughout the south and west, in many professions and lines of
business, and are often leaders in the communities in which they
dwell.
Autograph of Henry Stratton^ of Bedford, Co., Va., 1799
EARLY STRATTONS OF CONNECTICUT
"By an instinct of our nature, we all love to learn the places of our = birth and
the chief circumstances of the lives of our progenitors." James Savage.
THE first authentic record that the writer has found of Strat-
tons in Connecticut, is in 1682, John Stratton of Wood-
bury. As he was a "landowner" at that date it is reasonable to
beheve that he was of age, and, if so, he was born as early, at least,
as 1661.
In 1705 William Stratton appears at Winsor. If he was
twenty-one at the time of his marriage, he was born as early as
1684.
No connection has been found between these two men. As far
as we know, and judging from the first mention of their names,
one may have been a son of the other, but no possible clew to
this has been found. Descendants of each have been traced
down to the present generation and are living in many parts of
the United States to-day.
There are several theories and traditions as to their connection
with earlier lines, but no proof.
It may be of interest to notice:
1. That a John Stratton ^ disappeared from Salem in 1641-2,
and that nothing is known of his whereabouts thereafter.
2. That William Stratton, the miller, left Marlboro about 1659
and has not been located elsewhere.
3. That Caleb Stratton had a son John, born in Hingham in
1670, of whom nothing more is known.
4. That the grandsons of Richard and John Stratton of East-
hampton are only imperfectly accounted for.
From some of these sources may have come John Stratton of
Woodbury and William Stratton of Winsor.
To the compiler it seems more reasonable to believe that in one
or the other of these lines may be found their parentage, than
that they were "after-planters from England." It must be re-
226 A Book of Strattons
membered that this section was largely peopled from the older
settlements of Massachusetts, and that there was much "Traffick
and bussiness/' and many intermarriages between the early
settlers of Connecticut and Long Island.*
Research is still going on, and some yet undiscovered record,
church, town, or probate, may contain the solution = to this
one of several "Stratton problems." If what is here written may
serve to so interest others in the search, that ultimately a com-
plete record of these Strattons may be found, one object of this
volume, and that one dear to the writer's heart will = have been
accomplished.
JOHN STRATTON OF WOODBURY
{See Chart K)
John Stratton's name appears on the town records of Wood-
bury, Conn., in 1682, with no clew to his former residence. There
were "lay outs" of land to him in 1682, 1685, 1687 and 1689. In
1702 John Stratton was living in Woodbury, was the head of a
family, and a division of land, a meadow on Shepang River, =
was granted him. Whether this was the John to whom land was
laid out in 1682, or a son of the same, is not clear. The probate
records at Woodbury and Fairfield show that John Stratton died
in 1716. Henry Wakely and John Hall were appointed his ad-
ministrators December 11, 1716. The administration mentions
only his widow (not named), who is to have one-third of the
estate during life; a son to whom a "double portion" is given and
a granddaughter who is to have one-third of two-thirds of the
estate. No evidence of any other children has been found, and
no other mention of his widow.
Children: Named in settlement of their father's estate.

2. Thomas Stratton ^ (John^) settled in Stratford, Conn., the
year following his father's death in Woodbury. He married
Mary Johnson, September 5, 1717. He seems to have been a
man of some prominence in Stratford where he owned several
pieces of real estate. He was a pew holder in the Second Episcopal
Church and contributed toward the building of this church in
1743.*

1756, the Muster Roll of the seventh company reports "David
Stratton sick at Albany." He returned to Fairfield, and re-
enlisted April 8, 1757, in Colonel Lyman's Regiment, 5th Company,

April 5 to December 2 in Colonel Wooster's Regiment, 6th Com-
pany, Captain Tomlinson.
June 23, 1768, he married Hannah Sanford, daughter of Ehenezer

The first settlement at Fairfield was made in 1739 by several
families from Winsor. They were soon joined by a company from
Watertown and another from Concord. The region was known
to the Pequots as "Sasco" the Great Swamp. The Indian
name for the Fairfield Plantation was "Unquorva." The set-
tlers purchased a large tract of land of the natives, and when
Connecticut obtained charter privileges the General Assembly
gave them a patent. The present towns of Fairfield, Greenfield,
Weston, a part of Stratford, Bridgeport and Redding were com-
prised in this tract. For two generations the Congregational
church was the only mode of worship in the colony. In 1706 an
Episcopal church was organized. Fairfield was laid in ashes dur-
ing the Revolution and in the burning of the courthouse and
churches many records were destroyed.
WILLIAM STRATTON OF WINSOR
{See Chart L)
The first mention of W^illiam Stratton at Winsor, Conn.,
is the record of his marriage, January 17, 1705-6, to Abigail
Moore.* She was born September 12, 1682, daughter of Andrew
* That Willam of Winsor belongs to an earlier Stratton line there seems
little reason to doubt, although the "missing link" has thus far evaded = the
most careful search made by the compiler and by Rev. C. C. Stratton, D. = D.,
who has given the subject much thoughtful study and research. That this
"link," like several others much desired to complete ancestral lines in = other
branches, will eventually be found, the writer confidently believes. = During
the periods of Colonial wars there was great restlessness among the = Colonists,
William Stratton of Winsor 231
and Sarah (Phelps) Moore of Winsor. The Moores were one of
the fine old famiUes of that region, and among the very early
settlers. If William Stratton lived in Winsor before his mar-
riage no record of the same has been found, nor anything to
afford any clew to his former residence. That he lived in Winsor
after his marriage we know, and his two sons were born there.
In May, 1709, he was of that unfortunate command that set
out to invade Canada, during the Old French War. The conti-
nental troops got as far as Wood Creek, near Albany, where they
lay until fall. There was much sickness and suffering, and many
deaths. On the original records at Winsor is this entry: "Oct.,
1709, William Stratton died on board the vessel coming from
Albany." On the fifth of the following December his widow,
Abigail Stratton, was appointed administratrix of his estate.
She was still Abigail Stratton at the settlement of her father's
estate in 1720, after which no record of her has been found.

2. Serajah Stratton ^ (William ^) was born March 7, 1706-7.
Records of him are found both in Winsor and in Simsbury, the
adjoining town on the west. He probably lived very near the line
between the two towns. December 12, 1728, he married Eunice
Case, daughter of Elizabeth and Samuel Case. She was born in
Simsbury, July 8, 1704. The Case family lived in that part of the
town which later became Broomfield. A deed is found showing
that Serajah Stratton and Eunice, his wife, sold land in Simsbury
in 1735. This was not the land upon which their house was
situated. May 1, 1758, Serajah enlisted for service in the French
and Indian War. He was clerk of the company organized by
Captain Nathaniel Holcomb, under Colonel Pheneas Lyman. On
July 30 of the same year Serajah died in the service of his country,
as did his father forty-nine years before.
Administration on his estate was granted his widow Eunice.
The inventory of estate includes, besides the farm and house, live-
and much moving from place to place. William was probably born about
1680-4 possibly a little earlier. Any clew which may lead to = his parentage
would be greatly appreciated by his descendants and by the compiler.

stock, farming implements and carpenter's tools, household furni-
iture and clothing; also, a "Beak-horn" and books, including
"an old family Bible" (would we could find it to-day!) and a book
called Pleasant Companion.

in the French and Indian War in the same company in
which his father served; was discharged Oct. 28, 1758.
His name does not again occur at Simsbury. (Further
information concerning him is much desired.)
3. William Stratton ^ {William ^) was born in Winsor,
September 25, 1708. He lived in Sufiield, a township north of
Winsor. He married Jemima Nelson, before 1730, and died in
Suffield in 1766.
Children: Born in Sufjield, Conn.

Baptists by profession were relieved from the minis-
terial tax." No record of his marriage or death is
recorded at Suffield.*
* In 1796-7 a list giving "ship-masters natives or residents of = Weathers-
field" contains the name of WiUiam Stratton, master of the sloop " = Victor."
This may be the WiUiam Stratton who married Ruth Buck of Weathersfield.
In 1796 (February 21) a William Stratton married Mary Ann Howard in
Baltimore, Md. He was a sea captain, and died at sea about 1802-3. His
name does not occur at Baltimore earher than the date of his marriage. = From
1796 to 1801 his name is in the Baltimore directory, thus: " William = Stratton,

4. Martin Stratton ^ (Serajah,^ William ^) was born in Sims-
bury, Hartford County, Conn., January 13, 1730. He married
Hannah Griffin, October 1, 1767. When the town was divided,
in 1786, their home was in that part from which the new town of
Granby was formed. About five miles from Simsbury is a small
village still bearing the name "Stratton-Brook."
Martin was a farmer and lived on the homestead which, as eld-
est son, he had inherited from his father. The latest record which
the writer has been able to find of him in Hartford County was in
1786. Some time before 1691 the family moved to Bradford
County, Pa.*

Where this marriage occurred is not learned, but they lived only a short = time
in Baltimore. James died young, leaving an only child, James Latimer = Strat-
ton, born 1801, who was brought up by his maternal grandparents in New
York State. This son married Eliza Colon, a native of Nantucket. He died = in Hudson, N. Y., in 1859 "a grand and noble man," writes an = old gentleman
who still remembers him, "worthy of his lovely and noble wife." They = left
no children. The only legatees of his will are his wife, Eliza (who died = in As-

his descendants have been traced to the present day. Among them are men
occupying positions of trust and honor. See Rev. Charles Carroll = Stratton,

13. Martin Stratton =E2=96=A0* (Martin,^ Serajah,^ William^) was
born in Simsbury, Hartford County, Conn., March 13,1768. He
seems to be the first of the family to "go west." Taking his tools
with him he went across the country to Bradford County, Pa.
Here he worked at the carpenter's trade, living in Towanda, at
the home of Ezra and Ann Rutley, whose daughter, Rebecca
Rutley, he married about 1796. After their marriage they lived
for a while at West Burlington, and then returned to Towanda.
Here he bought a farm, and in company with his brother Cephas,
built a gristmill. In 1809 or 1810 a sawmill was built; "He was
called Capt. Stratton. He was kind hearted, generous, and much
respected by his neighbors." (History of Towanda.) Rebecca died
in 1818. No date of Martin's death has been found.
Children:
24 Samuel,^ b. 1808; inherited the homestead, near Towanda.
25 Martha,^ m. Thomas Hawkins.
There were other children. Any further data of this family
would be gratefully received.

13. Cephas Stratton ^ {Martin,^ Serajah,^ William ') was born
May 13, 1769, and came with his father's family to Bradford
County, Pa., where, in company with his brother Martin, he
owned and operated a saw and gristmill in 1809 and 1810. He
married Hannah Adams about 1796. They lived near Towanda
until 1813 and then removed to Tioga County, Pa., and lived for
five years near Canoe Camp. October 12, 1818, they left Penn-
sylvania for Hamilton County, Ohio, and settled at Cumminsville,
on Mill Creek, a few miles north of Cincinnati, where he died
October 28, 1833.

It has been claimed that the use of the "a" in spelling the name
might afford a clew to the ancestry of this line. The facsimiles
given serve to show how Mark and Emanuel signed their own
names. Their sons adopted the " a," and some of their descendants
continue it.
Emanuel Stratton of Evesham 245
3. Emanuel Stratton ^ (Emanuel ^) was born in 1717. He
was only eleven years old when his father died. He inherited, at
twenty-one, the lands (239 acres) which his father bought in
Evesham, and by purchase acquired other lands.
He married Mary Joyce, February 20, 1741. In July, 1748,
he sold much of his inherited land to Michael Brannin. He seems,
however, to have continued to live in Evesham, where he died
at the age of 67 years. His will, recorded in Trenton, is dated
August 31, 1781, and proved the following October. It names
no real estate, except a cedar swamp which is bequeathed to his
son Samuel. All the children except Josiah and Mary were mar-
ried at the date of this will. It may be that property had already
been divided among them.

and called "my trusty friends."

MARK STRATTON OF EVESHAM
(See Chart M)
1. Mark Stratton lived in Evesham Township, near the
present town of Medford, New Jersey. October 8, 1713, he mar-
ried Ann Hancock, daughter of Timothy and Susannah (Ives)
Hancock. His marriage is found on the Haddenfield monthly
meeting records.
May 16, 1716, Mark bought 120 acres of land of Felix Leech,
a part of which he sold to his brother Emanuel in 1723. In 1755,
besides his homestead farm, he owned several other tracts of
land, which by his will he divided among his five sons.
He lived to see all his children married into good old Quaker
families of the community, and settled in homes of their own,
not far from the paternal roof.
Among his descendants, now found in almost every part of
our country, are stories of his devout Christian character, and
noble, manly appearance, and of the sweet beauty of his wife, and
her sisters, "the Hancock girls." According to the record left
by "Grandmother Cowperthwaite," Mark died April 3, 1759,
aged 67 years, and was buried "in a piece of ground by the new
schoolhouse." This piece of ground became the Friends' grave-
yard at Medford, and many of Mark's descendants are buried
there. The exact spot of Mark's last resting place can never be
known, but it is greatly to be desired that his many descendants
should contribute toward the erection of a tablet in this burial
ground (which still belongs to the Friends and is kept in good
condition), inscribed with an appropriate inscription to his
memory.

Mark Stratton of Evesham 253
2. David Stratton ^ (Mark ^) was born in Evesham, in 1714-
15. He married Mary Elkinton, daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth
(Antram) Elkinton; she was born November 2, 1714, and died
February 21, 1808. They were married January 7, 1736-37, at
the meetinghouse in Chester Township (now Moorstown) New
Jersey. Joseph Elkinton was son of George Elkinton, "blacksmith
and maker of edged tools," who came to New Jersey on the
"Kent" in 1677. He came from Warwickshire, and "passed the
Burlington monthly meeting" June 6, 1688, and married Mary,
daughter of Walter Humphreys, and widow of Enoch Cove.
Walter Humphreys, "Weaver," came to New Jersey about 1679.
George Antram, father of Elizabeth, came about 1680. He was a
shoemaker. Almost every boy among these early Quakers was
taught a trade.
In his certificate of marriage David Stratton is styled " a tailor."
He became a prominent man in the Society of Friends and in
the township. The Pennsylvania Gazette of December 11, 1755,
contains this advertisement:
"Wanted, a sober person, that is capable of teaching a school.
Such a one com-
ing well recom-
mended may find
employment by
applying to David
Stratton of Evesham, in the County of Burlington, West New
Jersey."
In 1759 he was executor of his father's will. His own will is
dated May 20, 1771, and was proved the 11th of the following
month. It mentions his wife and the eight children given below.
To his wife he gave all his real and personal estate.
To the children, only small legacies 1 to 15 shillings = in money.
They had probably received their portions when coming of age, or
at marriage.
Grandson, Seth Stratton, was to have =C2=A35 at twenty-one.
At date of this will all the daughters were married, except
Mary, who was not yet eighteen. His wife Mary was his exe-
cutrix.
She outlived her husband thirt3'-3even years, dying at the age
of 94 years.

are named in the father's will.
At least five of this family went to Virginia. Joseph and
Susannah were already there at the time of their father's death.
The length of their sojourn in Virginia, however, was limited
to a generation, or less. These Strattans were Quakers, and as
Quakers they were opposed to slavery . For a while there was a
large Society of Friends in Virginia, but their antislavery views
caused bitter feelings against them, and many of them after a
few years sought homes in the free states. Most of these Strattans
moved from Virginia to Pennsylvania and Ohio between 1800
and 1812.

It will be seen that this will was made when Daniel was 81 years
old. His children were past middle age, and several of his grand-
children were married and had families of their own.
The sons named as legatees in the will had long been settled
on the homestead, or on lands adjoining it. Were there other
sons not mentioned in this will? -See Chart 0.
5. John Stratton ^ (Mark ^) was born July 10, 1718, married
Ann Prickett, November 13, 1744. She was a daughter of William
and Rebecca Prickett, of Chester Township, N. J. At Haddenfield
monthly meeting, February 12, 1742, "John Stratton (by William
Forster) requested a certificate to Friends in Shenandoah, Vir-
ginia."
About this date, and for several years later, there was much
moving from New Jersey to Virginia, and much visiting back and
forth. There was a large settlement of Friends near Winchester,
Virginia, where Hopewell monthly meeting had been established.
It was customary in those early days, and is still continued = to
some extent, to give to Friends travelling from home, a = certificate
showing that they were in good standing in the meeting to which
they belonged, and recommending them to the kind treatment of
Friends whom they might visit. The certificate was read at the
monthly meeting, and entered upon the minutes. It was probably
such a certificate that John Stratton "requested." If he went to
Virginia he did not long remain there. Two years later he married
in New Jersey and settled near Medford (then Upper Evesham), on
a farm of 53 acres, part of his father's estate. Here he lived for
fifty-five years, a consistent member of the society. Here Ann
died, December 7, 1783, and John seven years later, July 9, 1790.

7. Isaac Stratton ^ (Mark ^) was born about 1719. He
married, first Ann (who was the mother of all his children),
and second, Mary Prickett, widow, March 4, 1778. (Date of li-
cense.) She survived him and died in 1795. Her will, recorded
at Trenton, names only her children by her first husband. But
little is known of Isaac Stratton. His name has not been found
on the Friends' records. Perhaps his first marriage was "outside
of the society." His name occurs in the list of men who enlisted
in the French and Indian War, in Captain Enoch Hunt's Com-
pany, Colonel Samuel Hunt's Regiment, raised in the Province
of New Jersey, and to serve one year from May 8, 1761. In his
will he is styled "Isaac Stratton, senior, of the township of Eve-
sham." By this will the six sons are to have five shillings each;
daughter Elizabeth five pounds, and a silver tankard, while the
residue of estate goes to his wife, Mary. The original will is in
the office of the Secretary of State at Trenton.
There seems to have been some difficulty in settling the estate,
and when the will went to probate a large number of depositions
were taken. Jacob Sharp testified that "On the Saturday before
Isaac Stratton died he told the deponent that he was not satisfied
with the writing he had made and wished his youngest son,
Benjamin, to have twenty or thirty pounds, also his horse and
watch and clothes, and he also told deponent about five weeks
before his death that he was not satisfied with the will in the
keeping of Lawrence Webster."

14. Joseph Stratton ^ {David,- Mark ^) was born in Evesham,
N. J., December 9, 1743.* He married Naomi Quinn, daughter
of Benjamin Quinn.-f Their marriage Ucense is dated March 30,
1765. Five years later they moved to Virginia, talking with them
a certificate from Evesham monthly meeting to Hopewell
monthly meeting.
"Hopewell monthly meeting, Va., 5 mo. 7, 1770. Joseph
Stratton produced a certificate from Evesham, N. J., for self,
wife Naomi and children Sarah and Joseph."
Here five more children were born unto them. In 1779 Joseph
was appointed to take subscriptions for the printing of John
Churchman's Journal, at Culpepper monthly meeting. In this
year his three children Benjamin, Hannah and Jacob are men-
tioned on the meeting records. In 1780, by a division of Hope-
well, the family became members of Crooked Run monthly meet-
ing. I
* This date, and many others of this family are from the old family = Bible
of Joseph and Naomi, now in possession of their great-grandchildren.
t The story is that Benjamin Quinn was kidknapped from Ireland when a
schoolboy, brought to America and sold into slavery for a term of years; = that he was of wealthy parentage, for when noticed on shipboard, he wore = fine linen and silver knee and shoe buckles.
X As early as 1730 members of the Society of Friends began to move west- = ward and southwestward along the navigable waterways. About 1732 Alex-
ander Ross obtained from the Governor and Council of Virginia a grant of = 100,000 acres of land on Opequan Creek, a tributary to the Potomac = River,
in Virginia, with the intention of establishing a Quaker settlement. The = emigration of Friends began immediately into this region from Maryland,
Eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and some parts of New England, = especially
Nantucket. Meetings were established at Monoquesy, on a river of that
name, and at Hopewell in Frederick County, five miles north of = Winchester,
Va. At first these were under the charge of Nottingham monthly meeting.
In 1735 they were organized into Hopewell monthly meeting, under the
auspices of Chester quarterly meeting. This monthly meeting embraced all = the territory to the west and southwest as far as settlements had been = made.
Wherever a little company of Friends settled a "meeting" was = established,
268 A Book of Strattons
Six years later, they moved to Campbell County, Va., locating
near Lynchburg, where there was a large Society of Friends.
Here they became connected with the South River meeting, bring-
ing a certificate from Crooked Run, dated April 29, 1786, for
"Joseph Stratton, wife Naomi and seven children, namely, Sarah,
Joseph, May, Benjamin, Hannah, Jacob and Joel Stratton."
In the society here, as at Hopewell and Crooked Run, Joseph
and Naomi became prominent members. Their names are often
on the records of South River and Seneca meetings. Old South
River meetinghouse is still standing a few miles out of Lynchburg
and is known as the "Old Quaker Church." It is now used, how-
ever, by the Presbyterians who, a few years ago, purchased it
and restored it from the ruins into which it had fallen. Seneca
meetinghouse, near South River, has long since passed away.
Children: Born in New Jersey.
50 Sarah,"* living in Campbell Co., Va., unm. in 1793.
and a meetinghouse built, as at South River, Campbell County, Va. (near = the
Bedford County line), at Redstone, Fayette County, Pa., Westland, = Washing-
ton County, Pa., Center and MiddletoTATi meetings in Ohio and many = others.
Of this emigration James Pleasant Bell says: "Their movement was = parallel
to that of the Scotch-Irish. These two waves passed over the same ground = at the same time, but the two did not intermingle, for the gentle and = peace-
loving Friend, who decried all war, avoided the holding of office, = sought not
his own, and put his abiding faith in the personal presence of God, free = grace
and the powers to be, had little in common with the restless, = aggressive,
fighting, ruling Scotch-Irish, or the democratic but stern tenets of = Calvinism."
These meetings were under the care of Hopewell, and a part of Baltimore
yearly meeting, until at various dates from 1757 to 1803 they were = established
as separate monthly meetings, with the right to receive certificates of = mem-
bership. In 1812 the Ohio yearly meeting was established, embracing Red- = stone, Westland, Center, Middletown, Miami and other meetings in Ohio.
As early, at least, as 1810 monthly meetings were established at White = River,
Wayne County and Blue River, Washington County, Indiana.
The records of these monthly meetings are a valuable source of = information
concerning the westward emigration of the families connected with them.
A member of any meeting carried with him a dated certificate from the = meet-
ing with which he had been connected. This was lodged in the monthly
meeting nearest his new home. On the books of these meetings, records = were
made of certificates given and received.
"Between the lines" of these records may be read many a thrilling story
of the journeyings of these gentle Friends, along the "blazed ways," = through
the almost unbroken wilderness of the new West and of the building of = their
new homes, with the "red men of the forest" for their nearest neighbors. = Mark Stratton of Evesham 269

There may have been other children, although South River
records mention only these seven. In the fall of 1802, Joseph and
Naomi, with children Hannah and Joel, left Virginia, taking with
them a certificate from South River to Westland.
They settled in Ohio. Their son Jacob and his wife came to
Ohio at about the same time, and Joseph and Benjamin soon
followed. Later Jacob and Joel moved to Indiana. Of the
daughters, Sarah, Mary and Hannah, the compiler has found
nothing more.
15. Elias Stratton ^ (David,^ Mark ^) was born in Evesham,
N. J. The date of his birth has not been found, nor any record
of his marriage. In 1770 he went to Frederick County, Va., and
on July 7 of that year was with his brother Joseph at Hopewell
monthly meeting, and had with him a certificate from Evesham
meeting. A year later, about the time of his father's death, he
returned to New Jersey. On the records of Hopewell we find the
following: "On the 6th of the 5 mo., 1771, Elias Stratton of
Crooked Run monthly meeting, requested a certificate to Eve-
sham, N. J., but at the next meeting it was reported that he was
likely to return from that place. A certificate was signed for him
at Hopewell 12 mo. 2, 1771 and ordered sent to him." Nothing
has been found to show that this certificate was ever deposited
in New Jersey and it seems more probable that he returned to
Virginia and settled in Frederick County, and perhaps some of
the Strattons who appear in that vicinity in the next generation
were his children. It is not unlikely that his brother Mark settled
in Virginia also, since no mention of him has been found in New
Jersey after his father's death in 1771.
From about 1785 to 1815 more than twenty families of Strattons
left Virginia and settled in the States to the north and west of
the "Old Dominion." Many of them found homes in Pennsyl-
270 A Book of Strattons
vania and Ohio, some tarried in Kentucky and Tennessee, their
children in most cases moving still farther west. The country
was new and sparsely settled. The Allegheny Mountains divided
them from their former homes. Their new homes were widely
separated, the roads often inaccessible and communication be-
tween the different families was infrequent. Little attention was
paid to the keeping of family records. It is not strange, then,
that knowledge of ancestral lines was lost, or became very in-
distinct with the passing away of the first generation in the new
country. Their descendants to-day, in tracing their connection
with the earlier Strattons, must in many cases depend mainly
upon tradition and a few incomplete records from old family
Bibles. The difficulty is increased by the fact that there were
two entirely distinct lines of Strattons in the same part of Vir-
ginia, the New Jersey- Virginia Strattons, and the descendants = of Edward Stratton of Bermuda Hundred.
That both lines were early represented in Kentucky and Tennes-
see is well known. The county records are too incomplete to
afford much help, though a thorough search of deeds might give
some clews. To which line each early settler belonged can be
determined in most cases only by a careful study of all records
and traditions found among their descendants. Quite an exten-
sive correspondence with descendants of several different branches
has led the compiler to the conclusion that the following, at least,
are descendants of Mark Stratton ^ of New Jersey, though proof
of their parentage is yet lacking:
+ III Seth Stratton, b. 1762; came from Frederick Co., Va.,
to Shelby Co., Ky., abt. 1805.
+ IV William Stratton, moved from Spottsylvania Co., Va.,
to Trimble Co., Ky., soon after 1795.
+ V Absalom Stratton, came from Va. to Simpson Co., Ky.,
abt. 1809.
+ VI Caleb Stratton, b. in Va. in 1793, settled in Ohio after
1819.
While the following came from Virginia at about the same
time, not enough data has yet been found to connect them with
ancestral lines.*
* Their descendants have been quite fully traced, and will be given in = Vol. II,
before the completion of which it is hoped their ancestry may be = determined.

1811; m. Hannah Lesley. (Associated with him, perhaps
brothers or cousins, are Harry Stratton, Solomon Strat-
ton, Cornelius Stratton and Tandy Stratton.)
h Robertson Stratton, b. in Va. abt. 1800; settled near Rus-
sellville, Ky.; had a cousin John Stratton whose son,
Marshall, was an early settler at Carlinville, 111.
The facts given above were furnished the compiler by descend-
ants of these early Strattons in Kentucky and Tennessee.
Proof is lacking to show the relationship which existed between
them, and their connection with Virginia lines. That this proof
may yet be found the compiler does not doubt. Clews are being
followed up, and county records and deeds searched, for the
results of which it is thought best not longer to delay this volume.
Will not descendants of each branch take pains to collect and
contribute any records, or traditions which may help to estab-
lish "missing links"?
17. Daniel Stratton ^ (David,^ Mark ^) was born in Evesham,
December 15, 1750. By trade he was a carpenter and cabinet-
maker. He married, first, in New Jersey about 1774. In October,
1779, he was at South River monthly meeting in Virginia, as a
"Visiting Friend."
The certificate which he presented these shows that he was
then "of Evesham." He moved to Virginia soon after, settling
272 A Book of Strattons
in Campbell County, near Lynchburg. The South River meeting
records contain the birth of six of his children. October 10, 1901,
Daniel Stratton, with wife Shady, and children Margaret, John,
Mary, Daniel and Elias, were given a certificate from South River.
This certificate was presented at Westland, January 23, 1802.
They settled on the Western Reserve, in Logan County, Ohio,
not far from West Liberty.*
A granddaughter, still living (aged 90 years) remembers seeing
Daniel Stratton when she was about nine years old. He had come
on horseback from West Liberty to Clinton County to visit his
son Mahlon.
She remembers him as a tall, slender old gentleman in Quaker
dress. He was a man of strong convictions, very decided in his
ideas of right and wrong. He had lived for twenty-two years in
Virginia and left there on account of his intense dislike of the
institution of slavery. He died January 14, 1836, aged 85 years
and 19 days.f

* In 1787 the famous ordinance for governing the territory northwest of
the Ohio contained a stipulation that "rehgion, morahty and knowledge = being
necessary to good government, schools and the means of education shall
forever be encouraged, and hereafter, forever, there shall be neither = slavery
nor involuntary servitude in this territory except as a punishment for = crime."
It was this ordinance that encouraged so many Quakers to leave Virginia = for
the Western Reserve.
t Daniel married more than once. Family traditional records differ con-
cerning his wives' names and dates of marriage. One record says that he
married first, Shady Grubb, second, Sophia Bryan, third, Nancy Hull (n^e = Garfield). Another that his first wife was Mary, the mother of the two = eldest
children, and that Shady was the mother of all the other children, that = she
died soon after the family came to Ohio. It is quite certain, at any = rate, that
Shady was the mother of the six younger children.

remembered, was not organized until 1812.
19. Joshua Stratton^ {Daniel,'^ Mark'^) was born in Evesham,
Burlington County, N. J., November 28, 1739. He married
Elizabeth Brannin in May, 1761; daughter of Michael and Eliza-
beth (Norcross) Brannin. Michael Brannin was son of Francis
and Bridget Brannin, and Elizabeth was a daughter of John and
Mary Norcross. After Joshua's marriage he lived for a while
in the eastern part of New Jersey at Great Egg Harbor, but re-
turned to Evesham and was living there in 1796. He was con-
nected with Haddenfield monthly meeting. In 1810 he moved
from New Jersey to Ohio, with his sons Michael and Stacy and
their families, and his daughter Elizabeth. They settled at
Salem, in Columbiana County, where their son Aaron Stratton
had settled three years earlier.

more has been found. As Owen, Prudence and Naomi are the
only ones mentioned in their grandfather's will, it is thought all
the others had left Efesham before 1796?
33. Amos Stratton^ {Daniel^ Mark'^) was the third son of
Daniel. He was born about 1743. No record of his marriage or
of his death has been found, but in 1796 he was married and living
on a farm of fifty-four acres in Burlington County, land which = was given him by his father. He was one of the executors of his
father's will.
Children:

24. David Stratton' {Daniel,^ Mark'^) married Rebecca Owen,

Evesham monthly meeting. She was born January 9, 1761, and
died November 10, 1829. She was a daughter of John and Jane
(Moore) Brannin. Enoch and Hannah lived near Medford, and
their farm was probably a part of the original Stratton estate.
The house built by Enoch is still standing, on land adjoining
the old home of his brother Ephraim, built about the same time.

These are the only children named in the will. They were
probably born in Evesham Township, as Isaiah was "of Evesham "
at the date of his will.
36. JosiAH Stratton ^ (Enoch,^ Mark ^) was born in Evesham,
N. J., June 18, 1752. He married Mary Davidson, daughter of
William Davidson and Tacy, his wife.
Mary was born September 22, 1749, and died March 3, 1809.
They lived in Woolwich Township, Gloucester County, N. J. In
his will dated January 8, 1789, he refers to himself as "a cord-
wainer." The will gives to his wife about one-third of the estate
and divides the remainder equally among the children "when
they come of age." He was a farmer, as well as a cordwainer,
and was a member of the Society of Friends. January 28, twenty
days after the making of his will, " Josiah Stratton departed this
life, at his dwelling-house in Woolwich Township." He was
interred in the Friends' burying ground at Upper Evesham,
January 30, 1789. The will was proved the following June.

Allen, George and Ebenezer were evidently living in Philadel-
phia, 1810 to 1820, as these names occur in the city directories
of those dates. Later information of them, and of their brothers,
Jacob and Charles, is desired.
61. Joseph Stratton * {Joseph,^ David,^ Mark ^) was born in
Evesham, February 6, 1769. He was but two years old when his
father moved to Virginia (Frederick County) and but fifteen
when the family settled in Campbell County, Va. Here he lived
until he was forty-three years of age.
He was a man of energy and enterprise and early made a place
for himself. He owned a mill and a farm. Like all other Friends,
he was strongly opposed to slavery. December 9, 1792, he married
Theodocia Moorman, daughter of Micajah and Susannah Moor-
man, of Campbell County, "a woman of strong force of character
and devoutly reUgious." *
In 1809, Joseph and Dosha (as in most of the records her name
is written) left Virginia with their six children and went to Clin-
ton County, Ohio, where he had taken a quarter section of land.
Their home was on Lytles Creek, about nine miles west of Wil-
mington. Dosha died October 25, 1823. Five years later,
April 15, 1828, Joseph married Rebecca (Kinley) Harvey, widow
of Samuel Harvey and daughter of Edward and Margaret (Way-
mise) Kinley. To this second marriage two children were born.
Joseph died February 7, 1831, aged 62 years, respected and
honored by all who knew him. Both he and Dosha are buried
in the old burial ground at Lytte church.
* The Moormans were among the first settlers of Lynchburg. There was
an early marriage between the Moorman and Lynch families. This marriage
certificate of Joseph and Theodocia was signed by 29 witnesses, among = them
are the names Stratton, Moorman, Johnson, Bloxsour, Greeg, Schofield and = Betts. In addition to these names the following appear as witnesses to = the
marriage of Mahlon Stratton and Sarah Moorman: Hunnicut, Stanton, Bur-
gess and Via. Other names occurring often as witnesses to marriages in = the
old Seneca and South River meetings are Crew, Macey, Fisher, Terrell, = Pleas-
ant, Butler, Kirby, Holloway, Hanna, Paxon, Pidgeon, Daugherty, Coffin,
Preston, Liggett, Schooly and Russell. Certificates of removal show that = people of these names settled in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, coming = from
Virginia about the beginning of the nineteenth century.

He married Amy Curl, daughter of Joseph and Rebecca Curl,
in South River meetinghouse, January 29, 1796. She was born
in 1777. They lived in Virginia about six years after their mar-
riage and their children were born to them there.
At a monthly meeting held at Redstone, Fayette County, Pa.,
April 12, 1802, this record was made: "Benjamin Stratton pro-
duced a certificate for himself, wife Amy and children Rebecca,
Naomi and Levi, from South River, Va., dated October 10, 1801,
and indorsed at Westland, Washington County, Penn., March 10,
1802."

and children from Redstone to Middletown monthly meeting.
This w^as signed for him November 30, 1804. Later he removed
to Henry County, Ind., where he died March 2, 1851. He was a

55. Jacob Stratton^ {Joseph,^ David,^ Mark''-) came to Camp-
bell County, Va., with his father in 1786. He was probably
born in Frederick County, Va.
He married Rebecca Curl, (daughter of Joseph Curl), whose sis-
ter Amy his brother Benjamin had married. They were married
in Seneca meetinghouse November 12, 1800. To this marriage
certificate are the signatures of twenty-two witnesses, among
whom are Hannah Stratton, Amy Stratton, Daniel Stratton,
Dosha Stratton, Shady Stratton, Joel Stratton and Benjamin
Stratton. Two years later Jacob and Rebecca left Virginia.
Westland (Pa.) monthly meeting records contain this entry:
"Jacob Stratton, with wife Rebecca, with certificate from South
River dated 9 mo. 11, 1802, received at Westland 1 mo. 24, 1803,

56. Joel Stratton '* (Joseph,^ David,^ Mark ^) was born in
Virginia about 1783, and came to Ohio with his father's family
in 1802. He married, September 5, 1811, Rebecca Reed, daugh-
ter of Robert and Rebecca Reed.
Mark Stratton of Evesham 281
From Ohio they moved to Indiana, after which the compiler
has not been able to trace them. Information concerning them is
desired.
57. Mahlon Stratton^ {Daniel,^ David,^ Mark'^) was born
July 1, 1775, in New Jersey, probably in Evesham Township,
and moved, while yet a little child, with his father's family to
Campbell County, Va. Here he was connected with the South
River monthly meeting of which he became a prominent member.
He was a farmer, and worked also at the carpenter's trade.
October 17, 1898, he married Sarah Moorman, daughter of Mi-
cajah and Susannah Moorman. In the fall of 1809 they removed
to Ohio.
"10 mo. 14, 1809, Mahlon Stratton, Sarah his wife and five
children, Levi, David, Susannah, Mary and Mahlon were given
a certificate from South River to Center monthly meeting." This
certificate was presented at Center monthly meeting about five
months later. They lived for about ten years in Green County
and then moved to Clinton County, settling on Lytle Creek, near
where his cousin, Joseph Stratton, had settled a few years before,
and whose wife was a sister of Sarah Moorman Stratton.
Of Mahlon Stratton, a granddaughter, who remembers him
well, writes the compiler: "He was a wonderful man in many
respects. Coming to Ohio when the county was new and heavily
timbered, with Indians and wild animals a plenty, he built a
comfortable house for his family, doing all the work, with his own
hands, felling the trees, hewing the logs and making the = shingles;
even making the bricks for the chimneys and building the large
fireplace. He made all the furniture, chairs, tables, = bedsteads,
bureaus, having been taught the cabinetmaker's trade by his
father in Virginia. This home, with its orchard and flower gar-
den, soon became noted for its hospitable cheerfulness. The In-
dians ever found in him, and his gifted wife, wise councilors and
friends and none were ever turned cold or hungry from his door.
He gave the land for a meetinghouse, gave much of the timber
and helped to build the house. His wife, Sarah, was of a poetic
nature and her descendants preserve several poems which she
composed while working among her flowers, or about her house-
hold duties."
282 A Book of Strattons
Mahlon died April 12, 1860, and Sarah, February 6, 1863. Both
are buried in the little graveyard which he gave to the Quakers.

he married Sarah Reeves, who died the following year. Two
years later, January 31, 1809, he married Elizabeth Shough. He
lived on a farm near Medford, until about 1820, when he emi-
grated to Clarion County, Pa. Here he bought land and built
a home. He was one of the first settlers, and the town of Stratton-
ville was named for him. He died March 26, 1857. He was raised
a Quaker, but married outside of the society and at Strattonville
was connected with the Methodist church.

Green, and granddaughter of Capt. Joshua Huddy, the Revolu-
tionary patriot of New Jersey.* She was born August 8, 1785.
They lived for a while in Philadelphia. Isaiah was brought up
a Friend, but marrying outside the society, he joined the Second
Baptist church in Philadelphia. For a time he was a school-
master in the Quaker City, but after 1808 he became a Baptist
minister, and removed to New Mills (now Pemberton), N. J.
He was one of the founders of the Triennial Baptist Convenon,
now the American Baptist Missionary Union. He died at Pem-
berton, June 7, 1816. His widow, Anna Green Stratton, married

STRATTONS OF SUSSEX COUNTY
(See Chart 0)
The deeds of Sussex County, N. J., show that in 1779 two
Strattons owned land in that county:
I Daniel Stratton, b. about 1758.
II Thomas Stratton, b. 1760.
They both left New Jersey before 1820; Daniel died in Ohio;
Thomas in Pennsylvania. Their descendants believe that they
were brothers, and nothing has been found to contradict this belief.
No authentic record has been found to show their parentage, or
Strattons of Sussex County 291
the place of their birth.* Tradition says that they were grand-
sons, or great-grandsons of Mark Stratton.^ {See Chart M.)
The following is all that the writer has thus far found concern-
ing them.
I. Daniel Stratton was born in New Jersey of Quaker
parentage, t In 1779 he purchased land in Vernon Township,
Sussex County. The records there show nothing more concern-
ing him until 1809, when he deeded a part of this same land to
Daniel Stratton, Jr. He died in Hancock County, Ohio, about
1824. That he was descended from Mark Stratton^ and "his
beautiful wife Ann Hancock" is well understood by his descend-
ants. Daniel's grandson, Mark Stratton of Wabash, Ind., claimed
that he was named for his ancestor "the original Mark Stratton."
The record of Daniel's marriage has not been found, but we know
that he had at least five children, who settled in Ohio.
Children: Born in Sussex County, N. J.J
+ 3 John, see note below.
+ 4 Daniel, b. 1781; d. 1836.
5 David, settled in Ohio.
6 Margaret, m. John Burson; lived in Ohio.
+ 7 Joseph, b. 1788; d. 1836.
8 Sarah, m. Isaac Newman; lived in Ohio.
The Sussex County records show that there was a John
Stratton, who married Christina Osborn, in Vernon Township,
officiating minister, Thomas Teasdale. Whether he belonged to
this family, or was a son of Thomas Stratton (II) has not been
determined. It is thought that he settled in Beaver County, Pa.
The compiler has the will of a David Stratton who died in
Richland County, Ohio, in 1843, whose parentage has not yet
been proven. This will mentions his wife (not named), and
names five sons, John K., Daniel G., Washington and James
* Some search has been made in Sussex County. A more thorough study
of all records there might give some clew to the former residence of = these
two men.
t His name appears in a list of New Jersey Coast Guards from Sussex
County in the Revolution.
t There may have been other children, not given here, who remained in
New Jersey or settled in Ohio.

Laget (all under age), and four daughters, Mary Elizabeth,
Rachel, Ann and Nancy. One of the daughters seems to have
married a man by the name of Dancer, as the will mentions
grandchildren David and Elizabeth Dancer. Witnesses to this
will are John Dancer, John G. Dancer and John Class; the executor,
John Bryte. Whether this David was the son of Daniel, or not,
the records of Richland County do not show, and the compiler
has found no further trace of this family.
II. Thomas Stratton, if brought up a Quaker, must have
swerved from the principles of his parents and become a "War
Quaker," for he served two years in the Revolutionary War.
The first record we have of him is April 1, 1777, when he enlisted
in the Continental Army, in an Orange (N. J.) County regiment
under Capt. John Santford, in Col. William Malcolm's regiment.
He was soon transferred with his company to Col. Oliver Spen-
cer's Additional Regiment, 4th New Jersey Volunteers. Orange
County, N. J., joins Sussex County, N. J. Thomas took part in
the campaign against the Six Nations in Western Pennsylvania
and New York, and in the battles of Newtown, Connecticut
Farms and Springfield (all in N. J.), and was discharged July 15,
1779. Papers on file at Trenton show that in 1820 he was granted
a pension, and in his application for the same he states that he
was then living in Beaver County, Pa., and that he was born in
1860. He married Elizabeth Chandler in New Jersey. Their
home in Beaver County was in Chippewa Township, where some
of their children lived and died, while others settled in Ohio.
Thomas died in 1846. His wife survived him only three months.
Both are buried in the old Chippewa Cemetery.

4. Daniel Stratton (Daniel) was born in Vernon Township,
Sussex County, N. J., June 31, 1781. In 1806 he married Sarah
Rogers. She was probably a daughter of Joh7i Rogers, "lately
from New York, " who purchased land in Vernon Township in 1802.
In 1819-20 Daniel moved with his family wife and seven chil-
dren to Wayne County, Ohio, "stopping for a few weeks in
Beaver County, Pa., to visit relatives," so writes a descendant.
His farm in Wayne County was near that of his brother Joseph
who had settled there two years earlier. About 1836 he moved
from Wayne to Hancock County, Ohio, and settled on a farm,
where he died in 1856.

7. Joseph Stratton (Daniel'^) was born in Vernon Township,
Sussex County, N. J., May 16, 1788. December 3, 1807, he mar-
ried Elizabeth Perrigo, who was born March 31, 1792. She was
of French extraction, and was probably a daughter of Joseph
Perrigo * who first appears in Sussex County in 1802, when the
county deeds show that he brought land there. In the spring of
1817 Joseph and Elizabeth, with their four children, left New Jer-
sey for "the west" and, after remaining a few months in Beaver
County, Pa., reached Wayne County, Ohio, in November. He set-
tled on a quarter section of land, about ten miles north of Wooster,
* Joseph Perrigo settled in Wayne County, O., before 1820.

in Canaan Township. Although married at the age of fifteen,
Ehzabeth, according to family tradition, was a woman of unusual
education and refinement. She taught all her children to "read,
write and cipher" before they went to school. Joseph, too, had
acquired a good education, and after coming to Ohio he taught
school winters and worked at the carpenter's trade summers. Of
him a granddaughter writes, " although the kindest of fathers in
his home he so prided himself on his impartiality toward his own
children in school as to be almost Spartan in his treatment of them,
and many were the hard tasks and sound thrashings that he gave
them." Although a Quaker in New Jersey, in Ohio he settled in a
Methodist community and joined a church of that denomination,
of which he was an active member.
The Wayne County History says: "Few men were ever more
implicitly trusted and esteemed by his neighbors than 'Uncle
Joseph Stratton' as he was familiarly called. At the first election
in 1819 he was elected Justice of the Peace, and twice afterwards
was elected to the same office, holding also other county and
township offices. He was an active friend of schools and a zealous
member of the M. E. church." He died December 20, 1836,
leaving a family of twelve children. His wife lived many years
longer. The last years of her life she was blind. A grandson,
living in Westerville, Ohio, writes: "I have in my possession an
old clock (I can hear it ticking as I write) which my grandparents
brought with them from New Jersey, and I can remember seeing
my grandmother wind up the weights, for she always took care
of the clock herself, even after she was totally blind." She died
August 9, 1861.

Knowles' company, under Col. Robert Miller. October 16, 1813,
he married Rachel Logan.
In the spring of 1821 he removed, with his wife and three small
children, from Chippewa Township, Beaver County, to Huron

NEW JERSEY-VIRGINIA STRATTONS PARENTAGE
NOT TRACED
III. Seth Stratton was born October 15, 1762. In 1771 he
is mentioned in the will of his grandfather, David Stratton of
Evesham, N. J, (See his will.)
He married Mary Greenway in Winchester, Frederick County,
Va. She was born January 8, 1762. This marriage is recorded
in the town clerk's office at Winchester. His name is on the
Revolutionary pension list at Richmond.* About 1805 he moved
with his family from Virginia across the Alleghany Mountains,
to Shelby County, Ky., where he bought land and cleared a farm
on Buck Creek, near Fisherville. He was prominent among the
very early settlers of Shelby County, and a highly respected
citizen. His children were all members of the Buck County
Baptist church.
He died December 29, 1845. His wife died seventeen j^ears
earlier, September 26, 1828.

According to William F. Boogher's Gleanings in Virginia
History, Seth Stratton was in Capt. Daniel Morgan's rifle com-
pany, which marched from Winchester, Va., to Cambridge, Mass.,
and joined the army under General Washington. They were
twenty-four days on the march. In the same company were
George and William Greenway.
IV. William Stratton was one of the very early settlers of
Trimble County, Ky. At just what date he came into "the

wilderness of the west," as it was then called, the compiler has
not been able to learn, but in 1795 he was living in Spottsylvania
County, Va., and the deeds of that county show that on Septem-
ber 1st of that year he sold to James and Sally Clark a farm of
sixty acres, which he had purchased from James Petigrew, re-
ceiving for the same =C2=A355. The witnesses to this deed were Andrew
Monroe and Henry Garnett.* It seems quite probable that he
was then preparing to leave Virginia. Kentucky was admitted
as a State in 1792, and the fertile lands of the "dark and bloody
ground" which had seen so many fierce Indian conflicts immedi-
ately attracted a large immigration from Virginia. Mr. Stratton
was a man of good education, a school teacher for many years,
and greatly loved and respected by all who knew him.

V. Absolom Stratton came from Virginia and settled in
Kentucky in the early part of the nineteenth century. In 1781
he was a Revolutionary soldier, and the war records at Richmond
show that he was granted a pension. Among his descendants the
belief is current that he was born in New Jersey; that he came
from Virginia to Kentucky in company with five brothers, four
of whom stopped in northern Kentucky, while one went on to
Tennessee. Absolom settled in Simpson County. He married a
Miss Ennis, in Virginia, some time before 1805. After her death
he married Celia (Graham) Logan, in Kentucky, in 1822. He
was a farmer, and worked also at the carpenter's trade. He
belonged to the Baptist church. If he was brought up a Quaker
he must have lost his birthright in the society when he became a
soldier. He died in Simpson County, about 1831. Three years
after his death his widow married Zachariah Morris, a Baptist
minister, and was again left a widow in 1848. Later she went

VI. Caleb Stratton was born January 20, 1793. January 21,
1819, he married Jane Falkner, in Virginia. This marriage is

308 A Book of Strattons
These names have been gleaned from many sources. Most of
them are from the official records in the offices of the Adjutant
Generals of the various states; some are from abstracts of service
obtained from the United States War Department; while others
were taken from the following published works:
Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors in the War of the Revolution.
Connecticut Men in the Revolution.
Vermont Revolutionary Rolls.
New Hampshire War Rolls.
Pennsylvania Archives.
New York in the Revolution.
In a few instances two records in the list may refer to the same
man at different dates, as in the case of Thomas Stratton who
enlisted in an Orange County, N. Y., company and was transferred
to a New Jersey brigade, and whose name appears in the list of
Revolutionary soldiers from each of these two states.
A more extended abstract of service rendered in individual
cases will, in many instances, be found in the biography of that
individual, either in this volume, or in Vol. II of this work. Others
may be obtained by application to the Hon. Secretary of War,
at Washington, D. C.
No claim is made for completeness in the above list. Any
authentic addition to it would be gladly received, or any data = which might help to complete the records of service rendered in
the Revolution, or in any Colonial war, by anyone bearing the
name Stratton.

Change the two party system
so people against something like abortion
but for something like environmental protection never again get bigger and badder storms
and two bankrupting wars instead.
