Biography
Anne (Derehaugh) Stratton was born in Suffolk, England.
Anne was the daughter of William Derehaugh of Bafingham, Suffolk (where she may have been born) and Mary Wright.[1][2] Anne gave her age as about 50 in a legal deposition of 1640,[3] pointing to a birth year of about 1590, but the 1604 baptism date of her son John suggests a birth year a few years earlier, so it has been estimated as about 1585.
Anne married John Stratton,[1][2] probably in Suffolk where both families lived. The November 1604 baptism date of their son John suggested they were married before that year. They had the following children (all but Thomas and Margaret are named in their father's 1621 Will; their full birth order is uncertain):[4][5]
- John,[1][2] who was baptised at Badingham, Suffolk on 8 November 1604,[6][7] who was old enough in 1627 to be an executor of his father's Will[4] who gave his age as about 34 in 1640[8][3]
- Thomas,[1][2] baptised at Badingham, Suffolk on 8 January 1605/6,[6][7] not mentioned in his father's Will dated 24 September 1621, so probably died before then
- William,[1][2] who was baptised at Badingham, Suffolk on 28 April 1607[6] who died in England between 1628 and 1631,[7] and who was named as deceased in legal depositions of 1640[3]
- Anne,[1][2] baptised at Badingham, Suffolk on 13 February 1611/2[6][7]
- Elizabeth, who married John Thorndike;[1][2][8] who was called Elizabeth Thorndike in legal depositions of 1640, in one of which she gave her age as 26, pointing to a birth date of about 1614;[3][9] and who died before 29 July 1668[7]
- Anthony,[1][2] baptised at Badingham, Suffolk on 4 April 1615[6][7]
- Margaret,[1][2] buried at Shotley, Suffolk on 26 May 1617[7]
- Dorothy, who may have married William Pester[1][2][8] after 1641: she gave her name as Dorothy Stratton in 1641[7]
- Mary,[1][2] alive in February 1622/3 when her uncle Samuel Derehaugh made his Will[7]
Anne's husband died in 1627.[1][2] He left her an annuity of £50 a year.[4][5] After his death, she and her son John sold his residence of Kirkton Manor in Shotley, Suffolk.[10]
In 1629 Anne lent £300 to her brother-in-law Francis Noone (husband of her sister Dorothy), a substantial sum for those days, indicating that she was well-off.[1][2][7]
Anne subsequently settled, along with her children John, Dorothy and Elizabeth, at Salem, Massachusetts by 1637.[8] (Her son John had previously been granted land at Cape Porpoise in December 1631.[11]) They appear to have moved to New England by 24 October 1633, the date of a letter from John Winthrop in which he refers to Anne's daughter Elizabeth being there.[9]
Anne was recorded as a church member at Salem in 1637 and as living there in July 1642,[1][2] when she was a plaintiff in a lawsuit against William Pester who may have been her son-in-law.[12]
In 1641 Anne, her daughters Dorothy and Elizabeth, and her son-in-law John Thorndike appointed attorneys to secure legacies due to them under the Will of Anne's mother.[6][9]
Anne's death date is not known, but she presumably died in Massachusetts.

- Anne (Derehaugh) Stratton is listed in Magna Carta Ancestry as a Gateway Ancestor (vol. I, pages xxiii-xxix). The Magna Carta Project identified several trails from Anne Derehaugh to Magna Carta Surety Barons John de Lacy, Gilbert de Clare, Richard de Clare, Saher de Quincy, William d'Aubigny, and Robert de Ros that were reviewed/approved and badged in Jun 2016. Anne is also the Gateway in a Richardson-documented trail to surety barons Hugh le Bigod and Roger le Bigod (MCA II:62-63 DEREHAUGH). See the trails in the Magna Carta Trails section of her mother's profile.

May we please improve the inline citation now ""English Ancestry of Anne (Derehaugh) Stratton."

Further. at least for me, Battle's article, with its 287 reference notes, is more accessible than Richardson's marvelous works. From a collaboration standpoint, might our profile benefit from referencing (more frequently) Battle's article and including his source of the source.
Reserving that I am unaware of whether or not Richardson made any advancements (my access to those materials is elusive) [to Battle], I note that the child list we report on the profile matches that published by Battle, who provided detailed sources for each event. --Gene.

My 10G Grandmother By Betty Gillespie Pollack Copyright Dec 2018 – Permission to reproduce with credit granted
Ann (Derehaugh) Stratton, daughter of William and Mary (Wright) Derehaugh (my 11G Grandparents) and mother of Anne Bessing (Stratton) Frye, my 9G Grandmother, immigrated sometime after her husband, my 10G Grandfather John Stratton (1583-1627), died in England in 1627. She moved with her son John Stratton to Salem in 1637 where she died in 1642. Son John Stratton, my 10G Uncle, was born about 1606 in Shotley, Suffolk, England, and immigrated to Salem in 1628. In 1631 he received 2000 acres of land in Maine. He is said to be the “first settler of Scarboro”. His former land is still known as Stratton Island. It is published (but not documented by me) that this Stratton line descends from the royal line of Henry I King of France who died in 1060 and his wife, Anne of Kiev.
