Place names within the lower West Branch watersheds

This is Stratton Deadwater.

Who was Stratton for whom the pond, stream and headwater might be named?

An appendix in my book will have place names.

My list contains three types of names: current waterways and bodies of water that differ from what is on old maps, objects such as boats, and place names. For place names, I have tried to determine when a name first appeared on maps and who either owned the land or worked in the area at the time and therefore for whom the feature might be named.

The link to the names is:
