Seeking Revolutionary War records of Strattons

Sylvan,

It looks like Mark Stratton was born in 1812-1889, he is a decendent of Thomas Stratton born in New Jersey 1760 and died in Beaver County, PA 1846. Thomas Stratton was brought up a Quaker serving in Rev War for two years records indicate he enlisted in Continental Army in an Orange County, New Jersey Regiment  under Capt John Sanford in Col William Malcoms Regiment April 1, 1777. Dose this sound like your ancestors. This Mark Stratton could have been named after Mark Stratton the first.

Thanks,

Elliot Schneider
