David Thanks for your suggestion of a possible link. I have come across this name of Strangman/Strangeman-Hutchin/Hutchens before but I do not know where the link might be. It is definitely of Quaker origins. Just a reminder to all the Strong and Strang researchers - I would be interested in any references to Strangman that you might come across. Even today I found another official entry that had a "Strangman" spelled as a "Strongman". People doing transcribing and indexing are inexorably drawn to spelling my name Strangman as Strongman. It's almost as if someone is saying in their ear: "It can't be StrAngman, it must be StrOngman, change the entry". That's why my wife says to new acquaintances: "It's StrOngman spelt with an 'A' !
