Some sources report 1595 as the birth year for this John Strange. Others report 1605. It seems that the 1605 date fits better with factors across the generations, such as marriage dates and birth of children. Few sources that give dates provide with original documentation or sourcing.

This John Strange whom I have shown as born in 1605, Robert reports as born in 1595. He also reports that the name of his wife was Mary Arnell, and gives a different date for her birth also, 1607, rather than 1600, which I got from other genealogies.

Robert has a birth location, which, lacking any location from other sources, I am using here: born Hennock, Devon. Other sources have shown Mary with only a last initial, but it was M, rather than A.
