--Source of information: "A Book of STRATTONS" (Vol 1, page 234); He
seems to be the first of the family to "go west". Taking his tools with
him he went across the country to Bradford County, Pennsylvania. Here he
worked at the carpenter's trade, living in Towanda, at the home of Ezra
and Ann RUTLEY, whose daughter, Rebecca RUTLEY, he married about 1796.
After their marriage they lived for awhile at West Burlington, and then
returned to Towanda. Here he bought a farm, and in company with his
brother Cephas, built a gristmill. In 1809 or 1810 a sawmill ws built;
"He was called Capt. Stratton. He was kind hearted, generous, and much
respected by his neighbors." (History of Towanda) Rebecca died in 1818.
No date of Martin's death has been found.
