- DNA and history evidence from Nathan Van Wyck shows that the probably grandparents of Jeremiah Mabie (MS#3744) is Jeremias Mabie (MS#403) and Helena Conklin (MS#3261). They had two sons, Jeremias Jr (MS#3941) and Deliverance Mabie (MS# 3942).
Jeremias Mabie Jr (MS#3941) married in 1748, but his oldest known child was born about seven years later, which leaves room for Jeremiah Mabie (MS#3744) to be an earlier son. Jeremias Mabie Jr. had familial connections to the Strangs (via his maternal aunt) and to Westchester County (via his parents and siblings), I think it's conceivable that his children might have married members of the Strang family of Yorktown
Deliverance Mabie (MS# 3942) had two children after his marriage to Catrina Clemens in 1748, a son John, in 1749, and a son Deliverance abt 1751; after that no more is head of his family. Catrina's father's will showed her to be a widow in 1780.
