I don't think there's a connection.

Have you seen Jerry Strayer's site? It seems to be pretty accurate, except some of the early generations don't quite line up with the various censuses.

Daniel Strayer of Stratton, NE is off the Hans Stroeher line, Generation 9, person 51.

Could yours be descendants of Generation 7, person 23, Jacob Strayer? There are no birthdates, but children include both Elizabeth and Daniel.

Under the Johanes Mattes Stroeher line, Generation 3, person 6, Jacob also has children Elizabeth and Daniel.

Why am I still amazed when I run into name duplications like this?
