      1 DANIEL STRANG, born Orleans, France, about 1661, for in 1698 the inhabitants of New Rochelle were listed and his age was given as 37 years. He died Rye, N.Y., 1706-7; married in France, Charlotte, born 1668, as the above mentioned census states her age in 1698 as 30 years; died Rye, N.Y., 1722; daughter of Francis and Livinia Hubert, according to the majority of records, but where the baptisms of her children are recorded in the church Du Saint Esprit, New York City, she is said to be Charlotte Le Mestre, so perhaps she way have been a widow at the time of her marriage to Daniel, as there seems to be evidence of her connection with the Hubert family.

      The will of Daniel "Streing," filed. in New York, Liber 7, page 374, is dated Dec. 16, 1706, and proven Feb. 11 following, calls himself "Gentleman," resident of the town of Rye, and after all debts are paid wills the remainder of his estate to his wife Charlotte and makes her sole executrix. Witnessed by Oliver Besley, Isaac Mercier, ____________ Le Conte and Orlando Payne.

      The will of Charlotte "Streing" is recorded in New York, Liber 9, page 436, dated Oct. 20, 1722.. and proven January 31st following. Calls herself a widow and of the town of Rye. Leaves her youngest son, Daniel Streing, her large Bible and 10 shillings; she leaves 10 shillings also to
      Lusian David and Charlotte David, children of her eldest daaghter, Lusian Forgee; gives her wedding clothes to her three daughters, Clorinda, wife of Samuel Purdy; Charlotte, wife of Roger 'Park, and Mary Prudence, wife of John Budd. To her grandson, Henry Streing, she gives "all that lot of land in the Town of Rye purchased by me from George Lane, Sr., with all the buildings tllereon, and he is to pay 30 pounds of my debts." Remains of the estate to be sold and the proceeds divided among the children. Executors, Capt. Oliver Besley and son-in-law Samuel Purdy. Witnesses: James Searle, John Davis and John Carhart.

      The fact established by the above will is, that Charlotte at the time of the making of her will in 1722 was still in possession of her wedding clothes which makes one question the traditional escape from Paris, unless they had been preserved and were sent to her later by her son Gabriel.

      Issue:
      2 Luisan Strang, called Lucy in the tradition, She must have married very young for she is not mentioned with the rest of the family in the census of 1698 whereby it it may be presumed she had a home of her .own. She married Jean David, who is named among the inhabitants of Saint Christopher in 1671. He represented one of the best families in New Rochelle. Before removing to the West Indies, three children are recorded as baptized in the Church Du Saint Esprit of New York City. Jean, born Dec. 23, 1702; Daniel, born Dec. 10, 1704, and Petrus, born April 23, 1707. In her mother's ,will she is called Forgee and the above three children are not mentioned, thus suggesting a second marriage.
      +3 Clorinda Strang.
      + 4 Daniel Strang.
      +5 Charlotte Strang.
      6 Gabriel Strang, born May 7, baptized May 17, 1696, Church Du Saint Esprit, N.Y. City; mentioned as aged two in the census of New Rochelle, N.Y., 1698. About the year 1720, the Regent of France made proclamation that upon personal application of the refugees, or of their personal representatives, their confiscated estates would be restored to them. Gabriel was sent to France by his mother as her representative and it is reported that he secured a goodly share of the estate, but that his remittances were small. He settled himself with Gabriel Hubert, in London, said to be his uncle. About 1754 his son William, a lieutenant in the British Navy, spent much time with. relatives here. He had been liberally educated and was esteemed a man of good abilities, but he had a great propensity for strong drink which had occasioned the abandonment of the purpose of preparing him for the ministry. He was later stationed in the West Indies.
      7 Mary Prudence Strang; mentioned in her mother's will as youngest daughter; married John, said to be son of Joseph and Sarah Budd of Rye Neck and Southold, N.Y.; removed to Roxboro, Morris Co., N. J. Issue: Daniel, married a Purdy; Elijah, married Ursula Sine; Hannah, married Hackaliah Purdy;Mary, married Caleb Horton; Joseph, married a Budd; John; Underhill, died unmarried; Sally, married Thomas Sawyer; Gilbert, died Oct. 14, 1805, aged 85, a surgeon in the British Army; Abigail.
      +8 Henry Strang.
