Notes
General:
HISTORY OF THE DESCENDANTS OF ELDER JOHN STRONG OF NORTHAMPTON, MASS. (Benjamin W. Dwight, 1871), Vol I, pg 17:

"His first wife, whose name and family the author has not been able to ascertain, he married in England. She died on the passage or soon after landing; and in about two months afterwards her infant offspring, a second child, died also. He married in December, 1630, for a second wife, Abigail Ford of Dorchester, Mass."

My comment: There are two interpretations of the text. The child was born in England, survived the voyage, and died about two months after arrival in Massachusetts. Or the mother was pregnant during the voyage, gave birth in Massachusetts, and the baby died shortly thereafter.

In fact John Strong probably arrived in 1635 and married Abigail Ford in 1635 or 1636 after the death of his first wife. The infant was probably born in 1635.
