MARY AND JOHN - 1630
Master Thomas Squeb Sailed from Plymouth, 20 March 1630. The day of the sailing was the Saturday before Palm Sunday. Landed Nantasket, Massachusetts, 30 May, 1630. 400 tons. 140 passengers 40 - 50 crewmen Ship owned by Roger Ludlow The ship was suppose to land at the Charles river but Capt. Squeb refused to navigate the Boston Harbor, probably because of its islands, sandbars and shoals. He had the passengers disembark at Nantasket Point. June 1630 - John Winthrop sent for Capt. Squeb at Nantasket, where the “Mary and John” lay. He did not record what was said. “[John] Winthrop seemed to think he had ‘ended [the] difference between him [Capt. Squeb] and the passengers’, in token of which Captain Squeb gave the order for a salute of five guns in the govenor’s honour and it was said that Squeb later paid compensation to [Roger] Ludlow.” [Dorset Pilgrims, Frank Thistlethwaite, p.76] There is no official passenger list of the Mary & John.

The Strong Family Association Coat of Arms (The Strong Crest) was approved by the SFAA Directors at the SFAA Annual National Members’ Meeting in August 1977 as the Official Strong Family Association Coat of Arms (Crest). This came about after much research into the background by several of the more knowledgeable SFAA members. From this information, a young SFAA member artist, James Horner Strong of Arlington, MA painted this crest which was subsequently approved by the SFAA Directors. The animal in the SFAA Crest is a wyvern or eagle. Most American references list it as an eagle. It bears a close resemblance to the animal in the Taunton City, Somerset, England crest which is a wyvern.
