Eleanor Strong is the second wife to William Cogan. Her first husband was John 'Richard Strong' Sr. She is never named in any document, but today people still call her Eleanor. John nor William never names their wife in the will, except the three children, and the 3rd child named Eleanor Cogan is the daughter of John 'Richard' Strong Sr and Eleanor. Read discussion below...The children are as follows: Eleanor Cogan, from most likely his first marriage that is unknown, married Walter Deane. He names a Joane Cogan (probably also from the first marriage) and then names another Eleanor Cogan. This last Eleanor is intriguing, because she is the daughter of John 'Richard' Strong that he mentioned as the 'unborn child' in his will before he died. The reason she didn't show the last name of Strong is because her legal guardian at that time became William Cogan, and she knew him since birth.
Walter and John Deane, q.v., were brothers, as shown in the latter's will. They are believed to be the sons of William Deane of Southchard, Somerset, whose will dated 22 July 1634 named sons William (oldest), Thomas, John, Walter, and Isaac, and daughters Susan Deane, Eleanor Deane, Margery Strong, and Elizabeth (youngest), and grandson John Strong (one of the witnesses was William "Cogam") (NEHGR 51:432-34). A Walter Deane, son of William Deane of South Chard, Somerset, was baptized at Chard 13 May 1612 (NEHGR 80:336). Walter Deane sailed for New England on the Speedwell from Weymouth, Dorset, on 22 April 1637 with six servants, the same ship carrying Elizabeth Poole, Henry Cogan, and Giles Rickard (NGSQ 71:176). His wife was Eleanor, who joined him in a deed of 20 August 1693 (NEHGR 3:375). The will of William Cogan of Southchard, Somerset, dated 24 April 1654, named his daughter Eleanor Deane, wife of Walter Deane in New England; however, he named another daughter Eleanor Cogan (NEHGR 51:434), and this has given rise to much speculation about the identity of Walter Deane's wife. George E. McCracken, "Early Cogans English and American," NEHGR 110:267-68, points out that Eleanor Deane had been supposed on other grounds to have been the daughter of Richard Strong of Taunton, Somerset. Bristol County, Mass. LR 1:152, dated 26 January 1690/91 shows Walter Deane of Taunton, a tanner, sold land for his beloved brother John Strong, living in Northampton, New England.
Mary Lovering Holman, Ancestry of Col. John H. Stevens…, (Concord, N.H., 1948), pp. 348-49, gives a verbatim excerpt from the will of this William Cogan, who may have been the Cogam witness of the William Deane will, above, and identifies Eleanor, the wife of Walter Deane, as a daughter of John Strong of Chard, Somerset, and sister of the John Strong of Northampton, Massachusetts. However, Mrs. Holman also shows the younger John Strong had for his first wife Margery Deane, the sister of Walter Deane, and thus the "beloved brother" relationship between Walter Deane and John Strong may be a "brother-in-law" relationship. No Eleanor appears in the will of the older John Strong. The will of William Cogan actually left his house and land "(after the death of my daughter Eleanor Deane wife of Walter Deane in New England) unto Eleanor Cogan my daughter and to the heires male of her bodie," and for default of male issue to "Joane Cogan my daughter and to the heires males of her bodie," and for default of male issue to Joane then to "the heires male of the said Eleanor Deane of her bodie." This peculiar set of conditional inheritances suggests that Eleanor Deane had a lifetime interest in the house and lands, perhaps because she had been married earlier to William Cogan's son, but without having male issue by him. If she had also been a cousin to William Cogan's son (not a rare occurrence at the time), this could be a possible explanation as to why the sequence of inheritance would be first to her [p.280] for life, then to the male issue of two daughters of William Cogan in turn, and finally, if they had no male issue, then to the male issue of Eleanor Deane. It is significant that female issue are excluded, and the facts seem to indicate that Eleanor Deane was of the Cogan male line, but was not a blood daughter of William Cogan (even though he called her "daughter." Since she had been a blood daughter, then the male issue of the other Eleanor Cogan and her sister Joane Cogan, would not have been intermediate in the line of succession between the lifetime possession by Eleanor Deane and the final conditional inheritance by her own male issue with any husband). It is an interesting problem that obviously requires more research. For more information on John Strong, who had earlier been a resident and constable of Taunton, see Donald Lines Jacobus, Descendants of Robert Waterman (New Haven, 1939 1:640-43, and the references therein. Not available when that book was published is the fact that John Strong sailed to New England from Dorset on 8 May 1635 (NGSQ 71:173).
