Give a brief description of the inhabitant. The man. The legend. Do we know any significant details about these guys? If yes, great! Include that here. If not, then this can just be ignored.
John Martin Struder
Settlement
Miley
Grants
D-76 (120 acres, 14 Dec 1789)
John Martin Struder. Origin: Loyalist.
John Martin Struder married Sarah Nelson on New Providence in 1786 and then received a land grant of 120 acres in the Miley area of Long Island on 14 December 1789. This granted parcel was bounded by the land of John McCowan on two sides and by Charles Farquharson and a salina on the other two sides.
As we could find no Old Inhabitants with the last name Struder, and his Long Island grant states that he was exempt from paying quit rent on this land for 10 years, we believe that he was a Loyalist.
