In the inventory of his effects d a t ed 2 November 1741, along with such items as 'one locking glas' and s t a ted quantities of 'Ingen corn' and 'ots' were his 'copper toals'. He l i v ed in Rye until at least 1715. His signature, spelled Streing, appear s o n t wo property transfers in which, as a resident of Rye, he bought l an d o n the New York-Connecticut colony line in 1713 from Joseph Budd, f a th er of his sister May's husband and sold sixty acres in Greenwich to S a m uel Brown in May 1715. According to the family manuscript, Daniel and P h e be farmed most of their married life in White Plains near the Court H o u se. County land records show that they sold land in White Plains on 1 9 A p ril 1737. He moved from there about the year 1744 to Cortlandt's Ma no r i n the now town of Yorktown, and from Colonel Philip Verplanck proc u re d three farms: One of which he set himself down, now known by the n a m e of Rye Hoff farm, including the farm where Doctor Elias Inger(?) li v e s called the Saw Mill Farm. Another on the Ridge North of his dwelli n g h ouse and where Benjamin Field has since possessed. And the other i n w h at is called Stony Street now, since possessed by Calib Morgan and n o w i n part only. Daniel built a home there and died while living on t h e R ye Hoff farm, the site of the York Hill development, according to M i s s Mildred Strang. He gave the Saw Mill farm to Daniel, the Field far m t o F rancis and the one in Stony Street to his son Gabriel but that so n d i ed before he was settled thereon. Although his burial plot is unrec or d ed, there are several weather-effaced fieldstones adjacent to his so n ' s tombstone in the little plot on King Street, Port Chester, near the M e r ritt Parkway underpass. One of these may well be Daniel's grave. Da n i el and his sons were fruitful and most of the Strangs now living in t h e U SA and Canada are his descendants. -- MERGED NOTE ------------ Daniel Streing/Strang was born in 1688 in New Rochelle, Westchester, N e w Y ork.
