HISTORY OF THE STRONG FAMILY
In the AMERICANA, Vol. 20 & 22 as well as the HISTORY OF THE STRONG FAMILY, it is stated that John Strong's Father was Richard Strong of Taunton, County Somersetshire, England. However, in Vol. 12 of SEARCH FOR THE PASSENGERS OF THE MARY AND JOHN, the author states that the Strong Family Ass. has disproved Richard Strong as his Father since the writing of the book. They now believe Elder John Strong's Father is John Stronge of Chard, County Somerset. This family, it is believed, is descended from the Estrange of Le Strange family of Shropshire.
John Strong left for the New World March 20, l630 on the "Mary and John" with l40 persons including the Rev. John Warham, & arrived in Nantucket, Mass.on Sun., May 30, l630, a passage more than 70 days in length. They settled in a spot they called Dorchester. There is some speculation as to whether he came in l630 on the "Mary and John" & if so, he came alone & returned to England soon after.
He married his first wife, Margery Deane, in England. He returned to New England sailing from Weymouth, County Dorset, May 8, l635 on the"Hopewell". He brought his wife, 2 children & his sister, Eleanor Strong. His wife died soon after their arrival in the new country leaving an infant daughter who soon died & a son John. He moved to Hingham, Mass., & on March 9, l636 took the freeman's oath at Boston. In l638 he became a proprietor (founder) of Taunton, Mass. & in l64l was appointed a deputy to the Gen. Court in Plymouth, continuing in this office l643-l644. He was appointed with 4 others from Taunton to "superintend and bring forward the settlement in Windsor, Ct." In l659 he was a founder of Northampton, Mass. He was the first ruling Elder of the church in Northampton. During his 40 years he was honored & trusted above most men in
secular & religious matters. So great was their confidence in his honesty & integrity, the town stated that all hides should be taken to him to be tanned, at his own price. He was a tanner by trade & built the first tannery there. He was also a husbandman & owned 200 acres around Northampton.His 2nd wife was Abigail Ford of Dorchester, Mass., our ancestor. They had l5 children. She lived to be 80 years & he lived to be 94. At the time of his death he had l60 descendants. His l5 children gave him 114 grandchildren, & 33 great-grandchildren at his death. He gave land to his sons throughout his life & money to his daughters after he died.
The first 3 generations of the Stong family were written & recorded by Gov. Caleb Strong of Northampton, Mass in l777. A lot of family traditions are based on this record as well as the names of the first 3 generations of the Strong family & are recorded in the HISTORY OF THE STRONG FAMILY.

He came with his wife & 3 children ages 4, 2, & 6 mo. on the ship "Planter" from London to Boston in l635. They were 2 months aboard ship. Family tradition states he was a native of Stratford-on-Avon & therefore named the new
settlement in Ct. after his old home. He & his wife were married at St. Mary's Church, Ilkeston, Derbyshire, England & his 3 children's births are recorded there. His name is listed as "Guilielmo" (William) Beardsley on his marriage record. His certification was from the Pastor of St. Albans Parish, in Hertfordshire.He took the oath of allegiance l636 & became a freeman of Mass. Dec. 7, l636. He settled first at Hadley, Mass. In l638 he moved to Hartford, Ct. It is also believed he may have lived in Wethersfield, Ct. for awhile.
In Oct. l639 he with l7 others including the Rev. Adam Blakeman set forth into the wilderness & founded Stratford, Ct. He had the 2nd choice of town lots after the minister. Stratford became an official plantation or town in l640. He was a member of the Train Band from l639-44. He was an extensive land owner. He was elected as one of the first Deputies to the General Court in l645 & represented Stratford for 8 sessions. In l649 he was appointed to assist in securing provisions for the soldiers in the War against the Dutch. He was a Founder of the First Congregational Church in Stratford. He and his wife are probably buried at the first meeting house located at Sandy Hollow, since known as Mac's Harbor. This was the first graveyard in Stratford. In l939 at the 300th anniversary of the settlement of Stratford, the descendants of William and Mary Beardsley placed a plaque on a boulder taken from the Beardsley homestead at Sandy Hollow; formerly William's land. He was a mason by profession. He died at the age of 56. His estate was large for an early colonist. It totalled 333 lbs., l5 shillings.
