Notes
Diana STRATTON
According to a Martin researcher, her first name was Diana and Dicey was her nickname.
Marriage Records ('M' Surnames), 1796-1800, Amherst Co, VA:
Martin, Kiah and Dicey Stratton, spinster, November 4, 1794, John Stratton, surety.
Isaac STRATTON
Issac's first wife was Ann, but we don't know her last name. All of his children were with Ann. We also don't know when Ann died, but he married the widow Mary Prickett on 4 Mar 1778. Mary survived him and lived until 1795. Little is known of Isaac Stratton. His name is not found on the Friends records (Quakers). His name appears in the list of men who enlisted in the French and Indian War, in Captain Enoch Hunt's Company, Col. Samuel Hunt's Reg. This company was raised in the Province of New Jersery. Isaac enlisted on 8 May 1761 and served one year. In his will he is styled "Isaac Stratton Sr. of the township of Evesham. By this will, the six sons are to have five shillings each; daughter Elizabeth 5 lbs, and a silver tankard, while the residue of his estate goes to his wife, Mary. The original will is in the office of the Secretary of the State at Trenton, NJ. It is dated 13 Jun 1781.

Source of birthdates for Isaac's children:
Early Church Records of Burlington, NJ, Vols 1-3, by Charlotte Meldrum, Page 132, Evesham, Vol 2. (found on the internet)
There seems to be some confusion on the children. His will lists 6 sons, the records of Charlotte Meldrum (above sited source) only list 4 sons. Am checking to see if the will lists the names of the sons, or only the number of sons.
Per Swanee, the children are:
Abrahan
Isaac
Thomas
John
Sanders
Benjamin
Elizabeth
This accounts for the 6 sons and daughter Elizabeth named in the will.
Per Charlotte Meldrum the children are:
Abraham
Isaac
Thomas
John Sanders
Elizabeth.
This is the only reference seen to date that reflects "John Sanders" as one person instead of 2 people, John and Sanders. Until further research, I'm listing the 6 sons as a research note for myself.
