Individuals from Chrisman Pedigree, page 37

Notes:

Josiah Paine, town clerk and historian of Harwich, wrote that Nicholas and Constance (Hopkins ) Snow had a daughter named for her mother who was the first wife of Daniel Doane of Eastham. However, the Mayflower Families through five generations, vol 6 p. 10, mentions this but does not accept it as proved that she was a daughter. MF 6:10 gives names of Daniel and Constant Doane's children. Note, however, that Nicholas and Constance Snow had three children, still living in 1651 as per Gov Bradford's will, which remain unidentified.

Christopher Strout

m: Sarah Pike

Children:

Notes:

!Marriage: IGI (1984). Two entries, one reading 2 Dec 1680 and one reading 5 Dec 1680. Bot h sent to me by KZIMM@charlie.usd.edu (Karen Pike Zimmerman)

From a Strout Genealogy (On Disk: FTM) sent to me by Sue Andrews and presumably from the collection at the Eastham Public Library: "Christopher Strout, Born ca 1655, married December 2, 1680, Marblehead, Mass., Sarah Pike or (Pick). Sarah, wife of Christopher Strout, married (2) Joseph Collis, who died 1723/4 -- .... Christopher Strout, born probably Cornwall England before 1660, was at Truro, Mass., after October 26, 1712. Died 1715 [err: 1714]. Tradition states that he ship wrecked in this country and stayed.
He settled in that part of Eastham, Mass., which was later set off as Truro. He was in fishing business and some of his sons were known as whale fishermen. She petitioned the Barnstable Probate Court, July 6, 1714 for administration of his estate...

Parentage:
In Sep 1989, Lillian (Strout) Mitchell contacted Katherine (Dickson) Brown at the England Research Center in Truro, England. Katherine found microfiche file A0217 listing the following (all in Egloshayle parish/town near Truro, Co. Cornwall, England):
* Anthony Strowte, son of James Strowte, christened 22 Aug 1602. He married Mary Oliver 23 Jun 1631.

They had a son Christopher christened 12 Sep 1631. He was married once or twice but no names are listed.

Christopher had three sons. Anthony Christened 25 May 1657. Anthony christened 6 oct 1664. And Dirory christened 13 jan 1666.

m: Christopher Strout (ABT 1655-1714)

Children:

m: Joseph Collins (ABT 1645-1724)

Notes:

!Marriage(2-Collins): NEHGR 79:292 "The Knowles Family of Eastham" by Libby.

Strout genealogy, sent to me by Sue Andrews, cites "Barnstable Probate Court Records", October 25, 1716: "Sarah Collins late Sarah Strought administrator to ye estate of Christopher Strought late of Cape Cod deceased and now wife of Joseph Collins of Eastham."

"Beside the gravestone of her son, Christopher Strout, Esq., in the burying ground on Meetinghouse Hill, in what is now South Portland, Maine, stands a small stone, not much larger than many footstones, evidently home-made, with the inscription: "Mrs. Sarah Collins". [NEHGR 79:292]

There is an article on "The John Pike Family" (an early Massachusetts family) in NEHGR 121:161-176 (July 1967). Also of relevance is NEHGR 66:260 (1912) (Although the 1967 article didn't seem to list this Sarah).
