Biographical Sketch (1908):361, v. 1, p. 161-162. "Samuel Stratton 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.' 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 generations. 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, sr. ye husband of Hannah his late wife dyed December ye 5th day, 1707'."
