  Photos		Birth and Baptismal Record for Thomas Strayhorn b.1791 This is from the birth records for the Neshaminy Warwick Presbyterian Church in Warminster, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. It is the only record we have found for this Thomas, who apparently did not survive, because the name Thomas was used again in 1793. This is also the only record of Samuel's first wife, Mary.

  		New London Presbyterian Cemetery, Chester County, Pennsylvania - Old Cemetery The New London Presbyterian Church was founded in 1728. It is believed, albeit absent documentation, that Robert Strayhorn who died after 1820 and his son Samuel Strayhorn who died in 1858 are buried in the Old Cemetery, where many headstones have either disappeared or have been buried. Burials in the Old Cemetery continued until 1887, after which all new burials were in the New Cemetery. Samuel moved to New London prior to 1810 and belonged to the New London Presbyterian Church, and there is evidence for Robert living there in 1820. Samuel's sons Robert and Samuel and their wives were buried across the street in the New Cemetery, and their headstones are intact. Image by Gary Zentmyer
