Elizabeth's birthplace was listed as "Pennsylvania." Elizabeth Strawn's birthplace on the 1900 & 1910 US Census was listed as "Pennsylvania" by her daughter, Antha Ann Spaulding. In 1900-1910, Antha's mother was deceased, but Antha remembered her grandfather, John Strawn Jr, was born in Penn.

details the history of the Strawn-Buckman family of Billingshurst, Sussex, England, and Bucks Co, Penn. Billingshurt in Sussex County, England, was located near the sea. When the Buckman & Strawn families came ashore from the "Welcome," they had to live temporarily in a cave along the bank of the Delaware River. When they were able to purchase a town lot in Penn's town named Philadelphia, they built a log house. Later, the Strawns lived in Bucks Co, Penn. in a stone house. Bucks Co, Penn. is a rich county lying along the Delaware River. It has many historical towns and architecturally beautiful old stone houses. Strawntown, located near Quakertown, contains a Strawn stone house intact. (from "Early Friends Families of Upper Bucks" by Clarence V. Roberts)
