Wilson, March 1998: "For many years it has been stated that John Strong as a young unmarried man arrived in 1630 on the Mary & John and then went back to England to marry. This has never been proved. "We do know he came on the ship "Hopewell," arriving 8 May 1635 Weymouth: 'Jon Strong for himself and family and goods.' "His first wife and infant died about 1635 at Hingham or Taunton, Massachusetts."
