Biography
Disputed origins
The Eleanor who married Walter Deane had been thought to be the daughter of John Strong until William Cogan's will came to light. After a review of the evidence, it is most likely that Walter Deane's wife was named Eleanor Cogan. See this 1993 article in the NEHGR 147:240-254.
Main points:
- In his 1654 will, William Cogan calls his eldest daughter "my daughter Eleanor Deane wife of Walter Deane in New England".
- Eleanor Strong would have to have been a posthumous child of John Strong. The name doesn't appear in his 1612 will (but he does note that a child is expected). The name also doesn't appear in the 1627 will of John's father, George Strong.
Christening
- An Ellen was baptized xii day of October, 1613, Chard, Somerset, England, from the Bishop's transcripts of the Chard parish[1]
