Narrative

[phelps.FTW]

[Brøderbund WFT Vol. 1, Ed. 1, Tree #1377, Date of Import: Oct 25, 1998]

John Strong was born in Tauton, England, in 1605, whence he removed to London and afterwards to Plymouth. Having strong Puritan sympathies he sailed from Plymouth for the new world, March 20, 1630, in company with 140 persons and arrived at Nantasket, Mass. (Hull), about twelve miles southeast of Boston, after a passage of more than seventy days in length, on Sunday, May 30, 1630. After searching for a few days, they decided upon the spot which they called Dorchester, in memory of the endeared home in England.
In 1635, after having assisted in founding and developing the town of Dorchester, John Strong removed to Hingham, Mass. and on March 9, 1636, took the freeman's oath at Boston. On Dec. 4, 1638, he is found to have been an inhabitant and proprietor of Tauton, Mass., and to have been made that year a freeman of Plymouth Colony. From Tauton, he moved to Windsor, Ct. and then in 1659 he removed from Windsor to Northampton, Mass., of which he was one of the first and most active founders. In Northampton he lived for forty years. He was a tanner and very prosperous in his business. He owned at different times some two hundred acres of land in and around Northampton.
His first wife he married in England. She died on the passage or soon after landing; and in about two months her infant offspring, a second child, died also. He married in December, 1630, for a second wife, Abigal Ford of Dorchester, Mass., with whom he lived in wedlock for fifty-eight years. She died, the mother of 16 children, July 6, 1688, aged about 80; he died April 14, 1699, aged 94. He had had, up to the time of his decease, 160 descendents, viz: eighteen children, fifteen of whom had families; one hundred and fourteen grandchildren and thirty-three great grandchildren, at least.
