Hello, I'm looking for any info on the STRATTON family of Bedford Co. Virginia, especially before 1820. In "A Book of Stratton's", I saw a Wiley J. STRATTON, listed as the son of Thomas & Elizabeth (LEFTWICH) STRATTON, married 2 Dec. 1795, Bedford Co. VA. Although I was unable to make a connection to my STRATTON family, my Henry STRATTON had a son named Wiley B. STRATTON. I don't know how common a name 'Wiley' was at that time, and I don't know if these Bedford Co. VA families are related to me. As for my STRATTON family: Henry STRATTON, b. abt. 1804 VA, married prob. abt. 1830, Jane E. (UNKNOWN), b. abt. 1810 VA. Jane's father was born in Ireland. Henry & Jane E. STRATTON probably moved to Tennessee before 1832. By 1850, they had moved to Hardin Co. TN. Their known children: 1. Hyram W. STRATTON, b. abt. 1832. 2. John W. STRATTON, b. abt. 1835. 3. Sarah E. STRATTON, b. abt. 1838. 4. Henry W. STRATTON, b. abt. 1839. 5. Wiley B. STRATTON, b. abt. 1842. 6. Hannah M. STRATTON, b. abt. 1845. 7. Catherine J. STRATTON, b. abt. 1847. 8. Thomas M. STRATTON, b. 1849. I believe these children were all born in Tennessee. I was hoping that someone might see a similarity in their given names. Any info greatly appreciated! Thank you, Brad Aumick aumick@gte.net
