Biography

A tradition states that Christopher Strout was shipwrecked in this country and stayed here. He was in the fishing business and some of his sons were known as "whale fishermen". Christopher settled in that part of Eastham, Barnsteable, MA which was set off as Truro in 1709. Perhaps he was instrumental in the naming of the new town, Truro, Barnstable, MA. Christopher was from Truro, County Cornwall, England.

5. ↑ Historical Note: The Strout family is believed to have lived in the Province Lands (later Provincetown), a fishing preserve and home to "resident squatter fisherman". Local government was essentially non-existent prior to 1714, and a meeting house/church was not erected until 1717, consequently It is unlikely that birth records ever existed for these associated children.
