    Thomas Stratton was born in Watertown in 1670 and married there in 1699. Town records: ?Thomas Stratton son of John and Mary Stratton borne the 26 Day of October? ?Thomas Stratton and Dorcas Maxwel Joyned in married: July: 19: 1699.? Dorcas Maxwell was a daughter of Thomas and Dorcas Maxwell of Boston. She was born February 27, 1867. Thomas Maxwell was a member of the ?Scots Charitable Society? in Boston, which determines his nationality. From 1680 onward for about a quarter of a century, he was a ?Sealer of Leather? in the town of Boston, and in 1683 was a doorkeeper in the ?Great and General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Provence.?
    Thomas and Dorcas Stratton lived in the Western Precinct of Watertown, where nine children were born unto them. December 1, 1727, Thomas was chosen Surveyor of Highways. In 1731 the town paid him for timber from his farm for a bridge near Deacon Livermore's mill. December 16, 1732, he was still living in Watertown, when ?consideration of ye petition of Thomas Stratton and others was adjourned to ye next selectmans' meeting.? The petition did not come up at the next meeting, and the name does not later occur on the town or church books at Watertown or Waltham. No record of the death of Thomas, nor that of Dorcas, has been found. It is probable that they removed with some of their children to some other town and died there.
    Children - born in Watertown.
    James, b.1700; d.1775
    Thomas, b. Feb 12, 1702
    Dorcas, b. Mar. 2, 1705
    Mary, b. Jan.8, 1706; m. in Watertown, Henry Smith of Lexington, Feb. 18, 1730.
    David, b.1708; d.1783
    Samuel, b. Oct. 19, 1709.
    Ebanezer, bapt. July 12, 1713; d. in infancy.
    Ebanezer, bapt. May 15, 1715
    Mercy, bapt. Jan 13, 1717; m. Moses Cutting in Watertown in 1736.
    Of this family David is the only son who settle in Watertown (later Waltham). He seems to have lived on the homestead farm; and some of his children lived there as late, at least, as 1764. Of the sons Thomas, Samuel, and Ebanezer, information is much desired. This may be the Samuel Stratton mentioned in the proprietor's records of Mendon who helped in the survey of the town and had a grant of land April 26, 1736, and who married Mary, daughter of Samuel Walker, of Framingham, November 17, 1737, and in 1741 was in Hopkinton. The compiler has no further record of him.

    Thomas married Dorcas Maxwell on 19 Jul 1699 in Watertown, Middlesex County, Massachusetts. Dorcas was born on 27 Feb 1678. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
