A John Straw signed a petition in 1746 but his father John was alive and living in Kingston so it could have been him.

In 1756 a John Straw of Sandown served at Crown Point for the Indian Wars. (His father John Straw had died in 1750). A John Straw signed the Association test for Sandown for 1776 and a John Straw served in the Rev War.
Per census of 1776 a John Straw lived in Sandown.

It is possible that he had at least two sons: William born c. 1765 who married Martha Sargent and Sargent-Sargent born 2 June 1772 in Sandown who married a Miss Richardson first and then Sarah Gould.
