This summer’s reading included “Glastenbury for 200 Years - 1853” by Rev. Alonzo B Chapin and a committee of five other men, descendants of early settlers of the town. The first Strickland the author found any record of here is “Thwait” whose estate was settled in 1670. Followed the names of his children and their birthdates. As Glastenbury was carved out of Wethersfield lands, it’s history is spoken of. It mentions men being dismissed from the church at Watertown MA [to go to Wethersfield] but no John Strickland of Watertown MA is mentioned. A pastor in Wethersfield (1635-1641), the Rev. Richard Denton, is listed as removed [from Wethersfield] to Stamford CT taking a large part of the parish with him. Those names are listed and include Jonas Wood Sr, Jonas Wood Jr and John Seaman but no John Strickland. In 1644 Rev Denton removed with some members of his Stamford congregation to Hempstead LI but no list of who these people were is available. Given we know of Jonas Wood and John Seaman in Long Island we might make assumptions..... Rev. Denton died in 1663. Whether this information is useful to persons concerned with the Wood/Seaman/Strickland relationships, I don’t know, but I thought I should pass it along. I haven’t checked but I believe I haven’t previously heard of a Stamford CT connection for Wood/Seaman families. Joan
