• Notes

  From "Book of Strattons": "John was one of the founders of East Hampton, a prominent citizen and a man of considerable property. He was baptized Aug. 14, 1621 in London, the third son of William amd Elizabeth Stratton. Just when John Stratton first left Tenterden in County Kent, England for America is not known but he was twenty-eight when he settled in East Hampton, where his brother Richard joined him within a year. "His [John Stratton] name stands fifth on the list of founders of the town, and from the first he was a prominet man among the settlers. In 1652 the boundaries of his home lot are given in the town records as follows: "John Stratton ffour ackers upon the litel plaine be it more or lesse by the hie way South and Thomas Talmage junior West and on the North parte agt Luke Lille and part agt Richard Straton: and the hie way East. "John Stratton Sr. and John Jr. employed two Indians, Harry and Hector, to go to sea for them to kill whales off shore at East Hampton. The Indians get to have half their catch in both oil and bone. The agreement made March 18, 1680/1681 was witnessed by Joseph and Cornelius Stratton." -- MERGED NOTE ------------
