Were you able to determine the age or occupation of your John Strode? Do you know where he was buried? The man I am looking for was a millwright and engineer and, after arriving in North Carolina, built mills and, possibly, canals. His former clerk said that he was engaged there "improving the waters." Thanks! Sincerely, Jerrilynn Eby
