from THE HISTORY OF CHESTER COUNTY by Futhey and Cope (1881);

Strawbridge, Thomas, the son of James Strawbridge, who settled in Londonderry 
twp in that part now called Penn, prior to 1747, was a native thereof.  He was a 
member of the Convention of July 15, 1776. that formed the first State 
constitution; a captain in Col. Evan's battalion of Chester County militia in 
January, 1777; and appointed sub-lieutenant of the county Oct. 16, 1777.  He 
seems to have been an ardent, active patriot of the Revolution, but we have no 
further record of him.
