History

US President Gerald Ford was a descendant of one of the Stratford founding families, that was led by William Judson. The goal of these communities was to create perfect outposts of religious idealism where the wilderness would separate them from the interference of kings, parliaments, or any other secular authority. Some of the Stratford settlers were from families who had first moved from England to the Netherlands to seek religious freedom, like their predecessors on the Mayflower, and decided to come to the New World when their children began to adopt the Dutch culture and language. Many descendants of the original founding Puritan families remain in Stratford today after over 350 years; for centuries they often intermarried within the original small group of 17th century Pilgrim families. Other towns such as Cambria, New York New York (now Lockport (city), New York New York) were founded or expanded around new churches by Stratford descendants taking part in the westward migration.
