On your next trip to England, you might want to visit the Strong Cottage in Chardstock!
 Jarvis Strong trip 2001 Every year there seems to be one to three people, groups, or families that are visiting England and would like to visit the Chardstock Strong Cottage. This cottage was built in the late 1500s, likely for Strongs who later moved to Chard (about 4 miles away).
I have added thousands of individuals, the first few generations of descendants of Elder John Strong. This is just a small portion of the Strong Association database! Click on ELDER JOHN STRONG at the top of this page to see the genealogy for each strong line. Or, click on Genealogy Database to the left, to go to the main search/browse page.

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.
