Jess -
I have seen those strings many times myself and I often do the same thing - trace the string along it's path until it stops or the remaining stars become too faint to follow. Orion's Belt has several such structures, the obvious one in M45 comes to mind, and yes, Cygnus is chock full of them. Cygnus also has so many doubles that it is impossible to tell which ones are true binaries and which ones are only apparent doubles...(impossible at a glance without charts that is) ...
I guess the string structures are a product of gravitation during the formation process. Perhaps interaction with other stellar bodies influenced a string and tugged/pushed a star out of the string. Or it went supernova like you said. Kind of like an individual bulb burning out on a string of Xmas lights.

Jess, are you missing a few beads?
Jess has all the beads, they are just strung out.
