Biography
Founder of Strode Station (fort), Winchester, KY[1]
Remains re-interred in Winchester Cemetery in 1965.

John Strode - 1776 -1778
Being a youth from Culpepper County, Virginia Colony, John Strode followed General George Washington and neighbors into the Revolutionary War. He wintered at Valley Forge, crossed the Delaware, took part in the attack at Trenton, and fought at Monmouth.
In early 1776, John Strode came into the Kentucky wilderness, marked, and improved a piece land before he returned to Virginia to fight in the Revolutionary War. He served under Washington in the winter of 1776 when they limped into Pennsylvania. The boys had to build their own shelters to create Valley Forge. Roofs leaked and there wasn't enough food nor clothing to keep warm. Many of the boys died.
December 1776, Washington planned a surprise attack on Trenton, New Jersey. They left the banks of the Pennsylvania side on Christmas Eve. The Delaware River was full of ice chucks. The boys were in their early 20s and late teens. They didn't have enough warm clothing. By the time everyone made it across, it was daylight on Christmas morning.
Washington's boys feared the German Hessians more than the British or Indians. The Germans had hangovers from great celebrating way into the night. After a brief battle, nearly the entire Hessian force was captured, with negligible losses to the Americans. The battle significantly boosted the Continental Army's flagging morale, and inspired re-enlistments.
In 1778, at the Battle of Monmouth, Captain John Strode met Molly Hayes "Pitcher". Years later, he took his daughter Letitia (my GGM), by horseback, to visit Molly "Pitcher". Letitia had asked many questions about the ARW heroine. Being very young and being tired from the journey, Molly "Pitcher" put Letitia in her bed to nap. My 4th GGM, Letitia Strode, slept in Molly Hayes "Pitcher's" bed. (This is a family story passed down by Letitia herself.)
June 1778, Captain Strode fought at the Battle of Monmouth. By 1779, Strode was back in Kentucky, living at Fort Boonesboro. He built his cabin on the waters of Strode's Creek, Clark County. Here he encouraged others to settle around him. By the year 1781, his station included 25 cabin homes. On March 1, 1781, Strode's Station was attacked by Indians. Two pioneers (Jacob Shpar and Patrick Donaldson) were killed and John Judy was wounded. Most of the livestock was destroyed. The first school in Clark County was taught at Strode's Station. John Filson, Thomas Parvin, and Colonel William Sudduth acted as teachers. The stockade was attacked again in 1783 with no casualties in the fort.
Captain John Strode was one of the first trustees for the town of Winchester. In 1793, by commission of Governor Isaac Shelby, he was named coroner for the new town. When Strode died in 1805, he was buried on a hill, overlooking the station.
According to (Draper mss. 12CC61-64 pg79-96): John Filson, author of The Adventures of Colonel Daniel Boone, stayed at Strode Station.
