Marianna Matkin of Mt. Pleasant writes: "Solomon Strickland's brother was Jacob Strickland, Jr. Solomon's son Hardy Strickland, Sr. married Jacob Strickland Jr.'s daughter, Pricilla Ann Strickland--first cousins marrying. Jacob Strickland Jr. born 1783 in North Carolina married 1765 in Guilford County Priscilla Taylor (some say Young) and in 1769 he filed for land in Guilford County, N.C. were he was living in 1790. I have a copy of the land grant. He moved to Wilkes County, GA and settled there with his brothers. This Jacob died in Franklin County, GA and his will April 4/October 1804 (I have a copy of this) listed his children: Faith b 12 Aug 1767 married ???

Jacob Strickland, Jr - Notes:
It appears that this marriage is based on a preponderance of evidence only. There is a Christopher Taylor that signed as one of the Witnesses to Jacob Strickland, Sr. Will.
On 5/28/2000 Jane Strickland Shelton < UGA1mom @aol.com writes to Strickland List "The Priscilla Taylor Young name for wife of Jacob, Jr. has been going around for years. Arthur Taylor's Will leaves daughters with a Jacob Strickland to take care of. But it does not say Priscilla Strickland or indicate that she was married to a Jacob. The Taylors and the Stricklands lived near each other not only in NC but also in Isle Of Wight, VA. It is reasonable that she may have married Jacob, but I just would like to find a more definitive record. It may be impossible. Bruce Howard, genealogist and Pace descendent thinks Jacob may have married a Pace. I need to do some more research to come to decide if I could agree with that.

Yes, date unknown

ASSUMED this is James H. E(dward) Strickland, and that he was called Ed. I made this assumption because Carl Evan's research shows that Ney Carter and his only brother Ed married two sisters, Nora Humble and Elizabeth Humble.

James H.E. and Ney Carter appear to be the only two sons in the family, therefore it seems that James must have been called Ed, unless Carl Evan's research was incorrect.

Not listed on the 1860 Federal census in the household of his parents, Ansel B. Strickland and Mary "Polly" Braswell. However, even though the census appears to have been taked on July 5, 1860, and John Monroe was born in June 1860, the instructions for the 1860 census indicate that: "The name of every person whose usual place of abode on the 1st day of June, 1860, was in this family," insert the name of every free person in each family, of every age, including the names of those temporarily absent on a journey, visit, or for the purposes of education, as well as those that were at home on that day. The name of any member of a family who may have died since the 1st day of June is to be entered and the person described as if living, but THE NAME OF ANY PERSON BORN SINCE THE FIRST DAY OF JUNE IS TO BE OMITTED. The names are to be written beginning with the father and mother, or, if either or both be dead, begin with some other ostensible head of the family, to be followed, as far as practicable, with the name of the oldest child residing at home, then the next oldest, and so on to the youngest, then the other inmates, lodgers, and boarders, laborers, domestics, and servants."

He is listed, however, with his mother and older brothers on the 1870 Federal Census of Clarke County, Georgia.

Marianne Matkin of Mt. Pleasant, Texas writes that:

"In the 1850 Jackson Co, Georgia census, page 17 we find Madison Strickland age 38 farmer worth $4,000 born Georgia wife Harriet age 38, Daniel W. age 14, Mary P age 9, Emily I age 4, all born Georgia.

In the Jackson Co, Georgia 1860 census, page 64 or 221 we find Madison Strickland 47 farmer worth $19,000, Harriet age 48, Mary age 19, George E. Dedwley age 24 farm laborer worth $5,000, Emily I Dedwley 15 all born Georgia. There are some errors here: it shows Madison and Harriet married within the year, but it was George E. Deadwyler and Mary who were married on 22 Feb 1860. Also, Emily I was not a Deadwyler but a Strickland.

The 1870 Jackson Co, Georgia census page 402 gives us Madison Strickland age 55 farmer worth $9,500 born Georgia, wife Harriet age 56, born Georgia with a black cook.

In the 1880 Jackson County, GA census page 643, Millers District we find Madison Strickland age 67, farming born Georgia, parents born North Carolina. Wife Harriett age 68 keeping house born Georgia. Father born London, England (A big surprise, no wonder I haven't been able to find him in the Revolution), mother born Georgia."

Marianne also has a copy of the will of Madison Strickland Jackson Co, GA dated 25 July 1877, proved 6 October 1890.

Sharon Holland provided to me some interesting information recently re: the children of Jacob and Priscillia Strickland originally of Guilford County, NC:

"5. Mary was born October 17, 1773, and married John Gilbert, brother to William, and settled in Franklin County Georgia where he died. She then married James Allen and moved to Habersham County Georgia where she died leaving 5 Gilbert children named: Bill, Jim, Betsy, John, and Nancy, and three Allen children namely Thomps, Bob, and Henry."

The children of William and Mary Strickland Carter can be proven, in part, by gifts that were made to them by their family. The below listed DEED OF GIFT was made by Solomon Strickland (son of Solomon and Amy Strickland) to his sisters children, ath the approximate time of his departure from the Jackson-Elbert County area that later became Madison County, GA. It was contributed to the STRICKLAND SCENE newsletter (Vol 4, No 4, Fourth Quarter 1983) by Lily Carter Thurman:

Between 1627 and 1637

Between 1696 and 1699

In an article entitled "TWO MATTHEW STRICKLANDS", written by L.C. Strickland and published in STRICKLAND SCENE Vol 3, No 2, Second Quarter 1982, the author notes:

"Much of the previously published information regarding the Strickland family is not supported by sufficient evidence. Principally that of the Worth S. Ray Research Collection, 975 DAR, Vol 31, page 16, which states that "Matthew Strickland, Sr. who married Elizabeth Loreen, of Liverpool, England and came to Maryland in 1679 on the HERRON. August 4, 1699 his land was divided between his sons."

The land division between the sons of Mathew Strickland, referred to above, occured in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, and is published by John Bennett Boddie in his book, SEVENTEENTH CENTURY ISLE OF WIGHT COUNTY, VIRGINIA, and has the following paragraph taken from the County Deed Book I: "Mathew Strickland and William Strickland, sons of Mathew Strickland, deceased, have made a division of their lands. Mathew gives his brother, Samuel Strickland, 150 acres and his brother, John Strickland, 150 acres and to his brothers, William and Joseph, 150 acres apiece, 4 August 1699. Barbaby Mackinney, Thomas Marks."

Secondly, upon examination of the document mentioned in the first paragraph of this article from the Worth S. Ray Collection, it will be observed that one person came on the Heron in the year 1678, that six persons came on the Heron in the year of 1679, and two persons, namely a Matthew Strickland and Elizabeth Loreen, came on the GLOBE in the year of 1680. Also note that this warrant granted to John Tanner, Merchant, four hundred and fifty acres of land to him for the importation of the named persons in the document. Consequently, these persons came under bond, or at the expense of someone else; namely, John Tanner.

In a second document, which may be found in the Calvert County, Maryland, Testamentary Proceedings, Vol 16, pages 30 and 31, the following is recorded: Thomas Greenfield came into Court November 1691, Calvert County, Maryland, and requested Letters of Administration of goods and possessions of Mathew Strickland, late of Calvert County, deceased, who died intestate. Whereupon this Thomas Greenfield was directed to give an inventory accounting within three months.

At this point, I introduce evidence which I believe supports the theory that another Mathew Strickland, at an earlier date, 1678, was already on the scene in the Isle of Wight County, Virginia, involved in receiving a land grant of 902 acres of land for the transportation of 18 persons; date of this document 26 September 1678, recorded in Patent Book No. 6, page 653. Then again, this same Mathew Strickland received 1,803 acres of land for the transportation of 36 persons, Book No. 7, page 20, dated 20 April 1680. I must acknowledge at this point that we have not determined how and precisely the date this Mathew Strickland came to this land. Here is a question I pose at this time, would a person place himself in bond to travel to this land during the Colonial Period when he had the means to pay for the transportation of 54 persons?

To summarize, based upon date and documentation currently available, one would have to conclude that the Matthew Strickland of Calvert County, Maryland, whose possessions were inventoried by Thomas Greenfield, as directed by the November 1691 Court, died prior to this date. Also, I would point out that these are all of the records on the Strickland Family that are located in the Hall Records, Annapolis, Maryland, according to the authorities there, and that these documents do not reveal any heirs of of this Matthew Strickland. It cannot be concluded that he did or did not have heirs. There is no documentation to indicate that he did or did not have wife or children. Many records were destroyed by fire in Calvert County, in 1882. It is my opinion that the Matthew Strickland of Calvert County, Maryland and the Mathew Strickland of Isle of Wight County, Virginia were different men. It is reported in GONE TO GEORGIA by William C. Stewart that Mathew Strickland Sr, Isle of Wight County, Virginia, died 1696, which would have been five years after the death of the Maryland Matthew Strickland.

Noah

Abt 1801

1864

In a Query posted in the STRICKLAND SCENE newsletter (Vol. 3, No 2, Second Quarter 1982), "Lily Carter Thurman states that Noah Strickland was born in North Carolina ca 1801. Tradition says that he left with hog-drovers when he was sixteen and came to Mississippi." Her query was as to the identity of his parents.

The family is listed in Kathy Casagranda's SABINE PARISH THE 1850 CENSUS WITH ADDED FAMILY INFORMATION as follows:

Noah 49 M Farmer North Carolina
Mary 41 F Georgia
Nancy 24 F Mississippi
David 19 M Mississippi
Redmon 15 M Mississippi
John 11 M Louisiana
James 8 M Louisiana
Will 8 M Louisiana
Martha 5 F Louisiana
Elizabeth 5 F Louisiana
Nina/[Una] 3 F Louisiana
Mathew 8/12 M Louisiana

Casagranda writes that "Noah Stephenson Strickland was born in Nash County, NC to Henry Strickland and RUTH THOMPSON.....Noah married MARY ELIZABETH CARTER daughter of WILLIAM CARTER and MARY E (Cotton) STRICKLAND."

This does not appear to be correct, as he was born in North Carolina, and the other children of Henry and Ruth Thompson Strickland were born in Georgia.

Noah Strickland's family is listed in Helen Gomer Schluter's 1860 CENSUS OF SABINE COUNTY, TEXAS WITH CIVIL WAR RECORDS as:

Noah 59 M NC Farmer $675
Mary (Carter) 57 F Ga
Nancy 34 F Miss
John H 21 M LA
James W 17 M LA
William L 17 M La
Martha J 15 F LA
Elizabeth J 15 F LA
Anny C (Unice?) 13 F LA
Mathew (Noah) 10 M LA

In SABINE COUNTY HISTORICAL SKETCHES AND GENEALOGICAL RECORDS, it is noted that Noah and his family came to Sabine County, Texas in 1860 and paid state and county taxes in 1861. The book added that the Noah Strickland served in the Civil War, but took the measles after being mustered out and died in Mississippi. (White and Toole, p 59).

The book, OLD TIMERS OF SABINE COUNTY, TEXAS by Virgie Speights (S. Malone Printers, San Augustine, Texas c 1983), says "Noah and "Polly" Strickland had four daughters, Nancy, Martha, Jane and Sarah, and three sons Bill, John and Matt" (p 54). The census lists 6 sons, where as Old Timers only lists 3. Perhaps three sons died as young men, or moved away from home too early for the younger generation to remember. Also, could Jane and Sarah be the middle names of the daughters actually listed on the census? Later in OLD TIMERS it is stated that "(Noah and Polly Strickland's) six children were John Strickland (Dee's father), Bill Strickland, Matt, Jane, Martha and Unice."

Leatha Betts says she has Noah Stephenson Strickland b.c. 1801- 1803 (1850 census states he was 49, born in North Carolina) married c. 1825, to Mary Elizabeth Carter b. 1807 Jackson Co. Georgia (1850 Census) and mentioned in Jackson Co. Ga. Deed book D as receiving household items for estate of Solomon Strickland. Her research indicates that the Noah that settled in the Sabine River area is the son of Noah Strickland, Sr. b.c. 1759 Nash Co. N. Car. and Elizabeth Dew of Nash Co. North Carolina, son of Henry Strickland b.c. 1735 Nash Co. N. Car. (d. 1796, Madison Co. Ga.,He left will in Georgia, listed in Ga. Pioneers, Vol. 6....)

This is supported by the following email from JJudyJam@aol.com on 26 April 2001:

Noah Strickland, son of Henry and Mary Hickman Strickland left a will dated 21 Oct 1809. Proven Nash Co August 1813. In the will he leaves to his son Noah (listed last in the will ,the youngest?): That I give to my son Noah Strickland a certain piece of land beginning at a corner Hickory in Thomas Carter's line and along Carter's line to the river, and down said river to the old spring, then along William Dew Strickland's line to the beginning; also 1 tract of land on both sides of the road containing 80 acres joining Thomas Carter and Roland Williams' lines; and 300 acres of land lying on both sides of Turkey Creek joining Hardy Stricklands and Benjamin Rice's line; also 3 Negroes named Willie, Zaney, and Kinchen; and 1 feather bed and furniture, Noah appointed William Buntin and Henry Adkins as Executors. This was however challenged apparently by Noah's wife (sic-s/b daughter) Mary and son in Law Henry Atkinson from Minute Books Nash CO By Tim Rackley (from excerpts) August Court 1813 - #740 A paper writing purporting to be the last Will and Testament of Noah Strickland was offered for probate by Wiliam Buntin and Henry Atkins Jr, the Executors therein named, and the Same being opposed by Elisabeth Strickland, Henry Atkinson & Mary his wife, Bolling Strickland, and by Edward, Noah, & William Dew Strickland, which three last are infants under Twenty one years of age to whom Elisabeth Strickland is appointed Guardian pro hac vice. It is ordered that a jury be impaneled to try whether the paper writing do Contain the last will & Testament of the Said Noah Strickland. Nash Co Minutes Vol . VII, p 62) 1816, NASH CO NC Land Division of Noah Strickland, Feb. term 1816: Heirs: Elizabeth Strickland Henry Atkinson and wife Boling Strickland Edward Strickland Noah Strickland II William D. Strickland (Nash Co Kin p 58 (Nash Co Will Book 1 p 277)

From "Early Records of Nash Co, NC 1777-1859" page 248:

STRICKLAND, NOAH inventory by Admrs., November 18, 1813, included 20 Negroes. The widow, Elizabeth Strickland, was given a year's allowance. Sale held September 9, 1813, with Elizabeth Strickland principal buyer. Her dower lands were directed to be laid off, August 1813. A sale of Noah Strickland property was held by Henry Atkinson, admr. January 11, 1820.

STRICKLAND, NOAH JR. inventory and sale by Bolen Strickland, admr., December 13, 1820.

MAY 11, 1824, NASH CO NC Bolen Strickland, admn for estate of Noah Strickland, Jr. deceased, bill of sale to Edward Strickland May 11, 1824 (Kinfolk 112)

From these last 3 citings it appears that Noah and Elizabeth's son , Noah II may have died after the land division in 1816 but before December of 1820. Leatha Betts notes that the "Jr." could still be refering to the above inventory...or someone could have transcribed Sr. incorrectly....since the date was one month prior to the settlement outright for Elizabeth. Or this could refer to yet another Noah. Judy noted she was leaning toward this fellow as Bolen in Extr and Edward is buying (from Noah Sr will the lands adjoin) Sorry this is so long, I am still learning what is meaningful and what is not. I am still working on the thought that Noah's wife Elizabeth was dau of Edward Moore. Noah's Daughter Mary named a child Alsey Moore Atkinson and Noah's son William Dew named a daughter Sally Moore Strickland. The name game is a good hint but the Moore name could just be from any generation. Elizabeth was named as Moore in her father Edward Moore's 1783 will and was called Elizabeth Strickland in the estate settlement in 1789.

One further observation. I believe the Bolen Strickland that married Martha Trignith 12 March 1835 was not the son of Noah and Elizabeth. He and Martha are on in the 1850 census with a slew of children ages 13 on down and an older Trigneth/Trigler female. His age is given at 34 making him born years after Noah's will. Any thoughts, help, corrections or gentle disagreement welcome

Judy Moore Welch who is still trying to be a Strickland and still believing that Mark Stricklands dau married the son of Edward Moore.

According to information given to me by my great aunt, Noah, son of Richard Benjamin Strickland Sr. (son of Henry Strickland and Mary Hickman) went to California after first landing in Tishomingo Co, MS with two of his brothers (Richard Benjamin Jr. and Benjamin Perry).

Priscilla Ann

Abt 1777

31 Oct 1841

Many researchers show her as being born in North Carolina. Richard Chapman instead has her place of birth as Franklin County, Georgia

Marianna Matkin of Mt. Pleasant writes: "Solomon Strickland's brother was Jacob Strickland, Jr. Solomon's son Hardy Strickland, Sr. married Jacob Strickland Jr.'s daughter, Pricilla Ann Strickland--first cousins marrying. Jacob Strickland Jr. born 1783 in North Carolina married 1765 in Guilford County Priscilla Taylor (some say Young) and in 1769 he filed for land in Guilford County, N.C. were he was living in 1790. I have a copy of the land grant. He moved to Wilkes County, GA and settled there with his brothers. This Jacob died in Franklin County, GA and his will April 4/October 1804 (I have a copy of this) listed his children: Faith b 12 Aug 1767 married ??? Meyers; Tamar b 13 Oct 1768 m William Gilbert; Isaac b 11 July 1769 d 1851 m 1799 Mary Hargroves; Jacob b 6 May 1772 m Mary Sanders and it is believed 2nd Clarissa Sanders; Mary b 17 Oct 1773 m John Gilbert, a Revolutionary Soldier and after his death Mary married James Allen of Habersham; John and William Gilbert were brothers..marrying sisters was done quite often in those days...travel was by horse or buggy and you didn't meet many eligible ladies. Hardy b 16 Jan 1775 m Susan Pryon; Priscilla m her cousin "Devil" Hardy Strickland and lived in Madison County; Selah or Celia b 11 July 1779 m Robert Young; Henry b 24 December 1781 m Elizabeth Wilkens; Wilson b 14 Jan 1783 m Polly Connelly; Elizabeth b 6 Nov 1785 m John Eubanks; Nancy b 22 Dec 1787 m James Royal or Ryley; Sarah m Berry Vaugha

CAUTION, Not all researchers show Hardy "Devil" Strickland's wife as Priscilla Strickland. Some list her as Priscilla Taylor, and others as Priscilla Young. In his book, PACE OUR COLONIAL ANCESTORS, Bruce Howard argues that she was actually Priscilla Pace, daughter of Richard and Elizabeth Pace and a sister to Solomon Strickland's wife, Amy Pace.

From FindAGrave:

Shown as a son of Charles Pinckney Strickland (1894-1963) and Susie Barber Collins (1898-1991)

Robert L. Strickland was born in Tyrone, Ok. where his father, C.P. was superintendent of schools. Later, they moved to Alvin, Texas, to Troup, Texas and back to Alvin. He attended Hardin-Simmons University until he joined the Air Force early in WWII. He served at the flight school in Liberal, Ks. as a B-24 mechanic and in New York State as a helicopter mechanic. After WWII, Bob finished his bachelor's degree at Sam Houston State Univ. in Huntsville. There, at the Baptist Student Union, he met his wife-to-be Mary Ann Wood. They were married in August 1950 soon after Bob graduated. They attended Southern Seminary in Ky. but returned to Texas to begin a family. Bob worked for a time at Dow Chemical in Freeport while they resided in Alvin and Angleton. Bob returned to his job as a camp counselor at the Salesmanship Club camp for boys near Dallas. He contracted polio in 1953. He spent about a year in the hospital in Dallas and rehab at the V.A. in Houston. He was completely paralyzed from the waist down, had little arm strength but was blessed with good use of his hands. He did the course work for a Masters degree in psychology at the Univ. of Houston but decided that being a stay-at-home dad was his calling. With his strong hands, he built radios and stereos, pottery, painted, made jewelry and cut gemstones. He was a great father. He was outgoing and devout in his faith. His passion was teaching his men's Sunday School class at Gulf Meadows Baptist Church. He served his church as a deacon and teacher. He died in 1988 after a short illness.

From OLDTIMERS OF SABINE COUNTY, TEXAS "In 1906 he was married to Mrs. Essie Strickland O'Riley, a widow with three children. To this union was born five sons. His wife was a good Christian woman and the children were brought up in the church, but he could not feel the conviction of saving grace until his mother died. His wife rejoiced but when he felt the call to preach, about 2 am one morning, and told his wife about it when she was making breakfast, he opened his Bible and began preaching.. she burned the meat and bread. Strickland has been preaching for years up and down the East Texas area has an unshakeable faith and believes in faith healing, citing as examples his recovery from TB and his wife's from cancer, after the doctors had given up on them....The Strickland's are a handsome, dignified couple, and thoroughly enjoy telling of the early trials of his ministry and the struggle to rear their 8 children on a minister's intermittent stipend. "The Lord always provided!" was Brother Bobs's prompt answer to any problem. "I recall once when I was preaching in Nacogdoches, the larder was completely empty and Essie was fretting something awful. I prayed and sure enough, an old colored man delivered a load of groceries." Born near Bronson, Rev. and Mrs. Strickland were second cousins. They attended the one room, three month session schools. "I spent two sessions in the Blue Back Speller before I graduated to a reader, slate, and pencil" recalls Strickland. A lady by the name of Evans was their first teacher, with Miss Jennie Oliphint a later teacher. Later schooling was at Newton with Professor Jim Sharpe as teacher; then there was a year each at Burkville, Jasper, Hemphill, and Timpson. Strickland grew up in a religious home with revival meetings and grove prayer meetings a regular part of his childhood. He worked for Jim Toole at Hemphill in his store, then went to Bronson when his father opened a grocery store and cafe. There he got in with the wrong crowd and lived a wicked life for several years.... The oldest Strickland son died in 1962."

From STRICKLAND SCENE Vol 7, No 2, Second Quarter 1986:

"Sampson Strickland of Revolutionary Wake County, N.C.: A Tale of Tory Determination" Contributed by Franceine Perry Rees

"A great may tragedies, and perhaps as many tales of courage and sacrifice, could be written if those of us who dig into our family's "roots" could learn the complete stories behind the written records of events in our ancestors' lives! We can only wonder about what motivated Sampson Strickland, Sr., middle-aged husband and father, solid citizen and prosperous farmer, to stand up in the Wake County Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions in December, 1777, and steadfastly refuse to swear the Oath of Allegience to the State of North Carolina. By his refusal, Sampson placed himself with the despised Loyalists and was therefore ordered to leave the state. In some parts of North Carolina, "Tories" were numerous and could support each other against revolutionary pressure; such was not the case in Wake County.

The Oath, devised as part of the state's Treason Act of 1777, was unequivocal; "I will bear faithful and true Allegience to the State of North Carolina, and will to the utmost of my power support and maintain, and defend the independent Government thereof, against George the Third, King of Great Britain, and his Successors . . . . "

Unlike other British sympathizers, Sampson Strickland was not a recent immigrant to these shores; as youngest son of Matthew Strickland, Jr. and his wife Anne Bracewell, he descended from several generations of Viriginia colonists. His nearest tie to the pro-British Anglican clergy appears to have been nor nearer than a maternal great-grandfather, Rev. Robert Bracewell, parson of the Lower Parish, Isle of Wight County, Virginia, whose death preceded Sampson's birth by more than fifty years. Neither was he a merchant who profited from trade with the British. For whatever cause, even in the face of overwhelming opposition, this Strickland found himself unable to renounce his loyalty to the English crown.

Born in 1723 in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, Sampson Strickland moved south as a young man, receiving a Granville grant patent May 24, 1756 for 275 acres of land in what was then Johnston County, North Carolina. (The Powell Creek area where he settled was divided in 1770 to create Wake County.) Court records include more than a dozen references to Sampson thereafter; he recorded deeds, witnessed others' land transactions, registered his cattle brand. In addition to his agricultural pursuits, he accepted a number of civic responsibilities, serving as juror, caretaker of an orphan, road committee member and road overseer.

By the time colonial fervor for independence rose high, Sampson Strickland must have been quite thoroughly settled among his Wake County neighbors, doubtless cherishing hopes that eventual reconciliation with the mother country might be achieved. But as the strife between England and her colonies increased, it became impossible for North Carolinians to remain tacit royalists. A rather mild loyalty oath in which persons suspected of sympathizing with the crown swore not to bear arms against or otherwise oppose the rovolutionary government "during the present unhappy contest between Great Britain and America" was ultimately replaced by a much more stringent avowal; all who lived within the colony that had proclaimed itself a state were to be compelled to declare their allegiance to it.

As 1777 drew to a close, Sampson Strickland may have already refused the oath in a muster of men in his militia district, or he may have been singled out and summoned to court as a suspected British symphathizer. At any rate, two other men appeared in court the same day as Sampson; they each swore the oath and were given certificates as evidence that they had "complyed with the law."

Sampson Strickland, however, defied the court, the law, and popular opinion: "...being Cited to appear at this Court to take the Oath of Allegience to this State came into Court, and on said Oath being offered to him her refused taking the same, whereupon the Court Pronounced his Banishment agreeable to Law."

It is probable that Sampson was banished as ordered, but where he went remains a mystery. Did he go to the West Indies or to Nova Scotia, as did other Loyalists? Did any of his family go with him? Was any of his property confiscated?

The records do not offer such information. In fact, he must have died in exile, because his name does not appear in the court minutes from the time he was sentenced until after his death, when his widow Christina reported his estate inventory in July, 1781. In March of the next year, she received fromthecourt persmiisio to act as her husband's administratix, posting bond for 700 pounds. In June the court accepted an account of the estate sale from the deputy sherriff (buyers included Christina, Obediah, Abel, and Hardy Strickland, along with Sampson Strickland, Jr. In March, 1783, Christina sought guardianship of her younger children--Obediah, Abel, Mary Anne, Lot, Braswell, and Matthew, for which she was required to enter bond of 1,200 pounds. In May 1784, Obediah achieved his majority and purchased 250 acres of what had doubtless been his father's land fromthe deceased Tory's eldest son and namesake, Sampson, Jr. Christina, their mother, co-signed the deed with her mark. One of the witnesses, Joseph Strickland, may have been another older son with Sampson the elder and Christina. Lot Strickland's December, 1784, will names his mother and brothers, Braswell and Matthew, with Obediah as executor and Abel and Joseph as witnesses.

It is unlikely that many of Sampson Strickland's legion descendants would agree that his refusal to support the new state was justified; history has certainly shown that the American Revolution was not only inevitable but beneficial. However, those of us who descend from this stubborn Wake County Tory should take some pride in his bravery, and hope we might have inherited a modicum of that quality in his charater which resulted in this sacrifice of home and a comfortable future for principle and loyalty.

The loyalist tendencies of Sampson Strickland Sr did not descend to his namesake. The younger Sampson served two tours of active duty with the Wake County militia, according to documents in a pension claim filed by his children.

The list of the children of Sampson Strickland and his wife Bythe, is from his Revolutionary War pension claim file no. R-10264. He was a resident of Wake County, North Carolina during the Revolutionary War, where he took the oath of allegience on November 24, 1777. In 1780, he married his cousin, Bythe Strickland in Wake County. He died May 16, 1839 at about age 82 years, when a resident of Franklin County, NC to which he had moved a few years before his death. His wife, Bythe, died in Franklin County, date not given.

All of his children lived in Nash County in 1846, when son Eaton Strickland applied for a pension based on his father's alleged five months tour under Captain Collars and six month tour under Captain Carrington, both in the North Carolina Militia. Sampson was reportedly at the Battle of Stono. The pension claim was not allowed, as proof of service as required by the pension law was not furnished.

A Martha Strickland, age 76 in 1845, and then of Nash County, stated that she married into the Strickland family, and that her husband was present at the marriage of Sampson and Bythe.

The following information is copied from Sharon Holland's Family Tree Maker's Genealogy Site:

Genealogy Report: Descendants of David Strickland

http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/h/o/l/Sharon-L-Holland/

"Character Certificates in General Land Office of Texas 2934. San Augustine Sept 1, 1835 No. 182. Samuel Strickland native USA emigrated 1821 married with family 5 persons. Samuel X Strickland.

Samuel Strickland was listed as delinquent ont he tax rolls of Miller County, Arkansas in 1823. In 1824, David Strickland was also delinquent, and by 1825, Samuel, Amos, James and David Strickland, Jr could all be found on the deliquent tax rolls for Miller County, Arkansas. It shows they had removed themselves from the area. Around 1824, they show up in Teneha, Texas Territory.

The interpretor at the General Land Office in Texas explained that Samuel along with his brother, David applied for a Mexican Land Grant in 1835. Within a few months, the Mexican government shut down giving out the land. Both Samuel and David turned around and applied for land in Texas Territory. It was also explained that Samuel arrived to Mexico/Texas Territory in 1821 from Kentucky.

On the 1835 Teneha census Samuel and Mary Strickland are listed, along with children Squire Humphreys, Susan Humphreys, David Strickland, Amos Strickland, and Samuel Strickland."

Sharon also speculated that Samuel might have been named "James Samuel" as was his son, and that he was the same person as the "Tiger Jim Strickland" that was killed in 1842, Samuel dropped off the face of the earth. Samuel's brother, James, supposedly went to Louisiana and lived till 1856. This helps support that Samuel went by "Tiger Jim." His family, stepchildren (Squire Humphreys and Susan Perrima Humpreys West, wife of Hampton West) were involved in the Regulator Moderator War. The 1850 Shelby County census includes not only his children, but the orphaned children of Mr. Stanfield, who was murdered in the Regulator Moderator War. Three year old Samuel is listed by his first name, James.

However, Richard McAuley, in October, 2014 emailed that Sharon's assumption of Samuel Strickland and "Tiger Jim" Strickland being one and the same is incorrect. Richard writes that "My ancestor, Alvey R. Johnson (1803-1862) served as administrator on the estate of the deceased Samuel Strickland, who died in 1847, and was the administrator on the estate of the deceased William Humphries (d1846), Samuel's wife Mary Strickland's first husband. Evidence in support of the latter has been available from the Texas General Land Office since 1866. We can can arrive at a near date of death for Samuel Strickland, who at his decease was administrator on the estate of the deceased William Humphries who died 1846. From the papers of my ancestor, we can rely in all certainty that Samuel Strickland was deceased prior to 31 July 1847 when was found by the probate court that his assets were insufficient to meet the demands of his creditors and that reserved for his heirs, such that the burden fell upon his widow to render reduced portions to the heirs.

Below are some examples of the receipts I possess and form the basis of my conclusions:

1848: January 16, letter from Joseph Rowe to A.R. Johnson requesting the field notes and the certificate of Amos Strickland (for 26 labors of land in Hunt County, Texas). [Note: this is the elder Amos Strickland (1796-1848), third son of David G. Strickland Sr. (1759-1824) and Mary Ogdon? (1762-1837)]

1848: July 31, "Received of A.R. Johnson, administrator of the Estate of Samuel Strickland deceased nine 85/100 dollars in full of Probate fees of said Estate up to date; A.McLamore CCC & Ex officio"

1848, July 31, "Received of Mary Strickland Guardian of David Strickland Et Al two 95/100 dollars in full of Probate Fees of said Minors up to date, July 31, 1848; A.McLamore CCC & Ex officio"

1848, September 18, "Rec'd of A.R. Johnson, administrator of the estate of Samuel Strickland dec'st, five dollars in full of my fees as an attorney in said case up to date; L.H. Ashcroft"

1848, September 18, "Rec'd of A.R. Johnson, five dollars in full of my fees as an attorney in the case of John Perry vs said Johnson; L.H. Ashcroft"

1849: May 8, "Shelby County, Mr A. R. Johnson Sir you will please let H.C. Daggett have the five bags of Cotton that you have in your Gin and much obj you, Mary Strickland Administatrix"

1854: August 17, deed of sale by William Samuel Mann of Freestone County, husband to Rachel Mann (formerly Rachel Strickland) one of the heirs of Samuel Strickland, in fee simple to A.R. Johnson and Nelson D. Walling, for part of the Samuel Strickland HR. Rachel Strickland married Willam S. Mann on July 27, 1854 by Andrew David, minister of Methodist Episcopal Church South, Freestone County, Texas.

1856: March 11, power of attorney by James Strickland of Freestone County to A.R. Johnson, witnessed by J.L. Johnson and S.W. Shaw.

1859: September 25, letter by James Strickland of Prestone [probably meant Freestone] County to A.R. Johnson concerning a power of attorney that Strickland gave Johnson to transact his business in Panola County, and is advising that he wishes to have the instrument back because he is selling out in both counties. [James Strickland (1832-1904) married October 5, 1856 to Miss. Eliza E. Mayberry; G.W. Slaughter, minister, Freestone County, Texas.]

1860: January 26, Letter from James L. Johnson at Greenville, Hunt County, Texas to his father Alvey R. Johnson principally concerning Rowe's purchase of the Amos Strickland HR.

1860: August 24, deed of sale by A.R. Johnson to James Savage for 200 acres ($210) out of the David Strickland HR

1861: April 27, letter from Crosby's General Agency, Austin, to A.M. Truitt, at Truitts Store, concerning Truit's enquiry into the William Humphrey league and labor claim, noting that the certificate was issued to Samuel Strickland as Humphrey's assigns, and was located many years ago in Shelby County, now part of Panola County, but a patent was not issued because the claim conflicted with several other claims.

As for James "Tiger Jim" Strickland, we are much more fortunate, as is shown here. In the Thursday, July 21, 1842 issue of The Red-Lander newspaper, published at San Augustine, carried news that "A friend in Shelby County, who has furnished us additional facts connected with the killing of (Tiger) Jim Strickland, is entitled to our thanks? we shall give the substance next week." We learn from the account published the following Saturday, July 23, more about the death of James "Tiger Jim" Strickland (1787-1842) while his gang was encamped on the Toro Bayou, a tributary of the Sabine River in western Louisiana, about 35 miles southeast of San Augustine, Texas:
"From J.P. Border, Esq., who has recently returned from N. Orleans, we learn the following account of the detection and dispersion of a gang of desperadoes and negro thieves, near Fort Jessup.
It appears that Jim Strickland? better known as "Tiger Jim"? and a man by the name of Metcalf, together with several others whose names we have not learned, were encamped on Bayou Toro; having in their possession a negro man stolen in Mississippi about a year ago. The gang became acquainted with a negro belonging to Mr. Phillips, of Fort Jessup, and proposed that he should assist them in stealing a horse from a Mr. Stoker, and runaway himself, to which he agreed. The negro, however, informed his master of what had transpired, who furnished him with Mr. Stokers horse and his own, and sent him to the place appointed for him to meet the thieves, previously secreting themselves near the place, in order to secure the villains whenever they made their appearance.

They had not remained long concealed before Metcalf arrived, and after a few words with the boy, mounted one of the horses and was about to ride off, when he was hailed by Mr. Stokers and commanded to halt. Metcalf drew a pistol, wheeled, and presented it towards Stokers, when a son of Mr. Stoker discharged a gun at Metcalf, the contents of which were lodged in his side. He died in about thirty minutes.

In the meantime, a person of suspicious character, (a laborer in the employ of Mr. Murphy,) who proved to be one of the gang, came up, and was taken into custody; who, after being threatened with a practical demonstration of the statues of Judge Lynch when put in physical operation, informed the party were "the Camp" might be found. They immediately raised a company of citizens, who, accompanied by four Dragoons, furnished by Colonel Twiggs, went in search of the remainder of the gang. They reached the encampment about daylight; but were discovered by Strickland, who, in attempting to make his escape, was fired at and shot through the head, which caused his instantaneous death. They examined the camp, but found nothing except the negro before mentioned, who was taken and lodged in jail, a tent cloth and wagon cover, stolen from individuals in Fort Jessup. The citizens are still on the lookout for the balance of the gang; and it is to be hoped they will ere long be brought to justice."

So as near a date as we can establish through the newspaper accounts, James "Tiger Jim" Strickland was killed sometime in the latter part of June or possibly the first week of July, 1842 in recognizing the brief announcement in The Red-Lander (a weekly paper), on Saturday, July 16, the above report on the death of Tiger Jim was printed in the following edition of July 23.

http://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth80017/m1/2/zoom/

According to the Telegraph and Texas Register newspaper published at Houston, in the August 10, 1842 issue, reported: "Free Booter Killed? The editor of the Sabine Advocate says: We are informed that the FREE BOOTER, Jim Strickland, was shot through the head, a few days ago, by a company of gentlemen from the Trinity River, who were in pursuit of several negroes, decoyed off by Jim, his brother Henry, and another individual, belonging to the Strickland company, one of whom they also killed. The company has gone in pursuit of the said Henry, who has the negroes hid out." Jim's brother, Henry Ogdon Strickland (born 1805) was killed in 1848.
As you can see by the evidence, Samuel Strickland (1794-1847) and James "Tiger Jim" Strickland (1787-1842) were indeed brothers, and though Samuel's son and namesake may have been recorded in the census as "Samuel Jr.", this convention is anything but indicative that the two were named the same.

Richard McAuley also noted that "according to the link below, Samuel Strickland together with brothers Amos Strickland, James Strickland, David G. Strickland Jr., and their brother-in-law, William Forsyth, and kinsmen Abram Ogdon, Wiatt Anderson, William Humphreys, David Humphreys, Martin Nail, and William Nail were all signatories of a 1825 petition made by the inhabitants of Miller County, Arkansas Territory, praying for measures to be adopted to relieve them of the difficulties caused by the late treaties with the Choctaw Nation, giving the Choctaw lands in Arkansas. Though each of these men are recognized as having migrated to Texas between 1821 and 1828, many of them had first settled in that part of Miller County that was then west of the Choctaw Boundary, such that they settled in that part of Texas that later became Red River County.

http://www.texashistorypage.com/1825-Miller-County-Petition-Arkansas-Territory.html

Furthermore, McAuley noted that much of his recent undertakings have "been directed towards illustrating how the Moderators were interrelated by consanguinity or affinity. For example, these interrelated families comprised many of the earliest emigrants who settled Shelby County, 1819-1830, viz: Bailey Anderson Jr., John English, Christopher Choate, John M. Bradley, James Truitt, William Todd, Joseph G. Goodbread, Samuel McFadden Sr., William Humphries, and of course, David G. Strickland, Sr. For example, Christopher "Kit" Choate's sister was wife of John English, while Kit's widow was the second wife of John M. Bradley, who was the brother-in-law of Joseph G. Goodbread, whose widow Susan Todd married secondly to Alfred M. Truitt (Alvey Johnson's nephew). Wiatt, brother to Bailey Anderson Jr., married to Nancy McFadden, sister to Andrew McFadden Sr., the husband of Jane Humphries, the aunt to William Humphries, whose first wife was reportedly Mary Ann Humphries nee Smith (1799-1849). By her first marriage, she was the mother of Susannah Permina West, Squire (or "E'sqr") Humphries, and also possibly a third, a son who I have only read about. She married, second (1822), to Samuel Strickland and was the mother of David, Amos, Samuel Jr, James and Rachel Strickland; and if you include William's nine children by Polly Berry, it makes for quite a large family.

The information I wish to relate below is that Susan or rather Susannah Humphries West was the only child of William Humphries, or rather in 1861 when her statement was made, she was the only child then living, as is clarified in another document. In the same statement where Susannah West claimed to be the only child of William Humphries, she clarifies that her mother was William Humphries' first wife, and married second to Samuel Strickland (1794-1847), such that the children and heirs of Samuel Strickland, namely: David, Amos, Samuel Jr., James, and Rachel Strickland were her half-siblings.

Indeed, when you examine the 1835 Census, Susannah is evidently enumerated as "Permina Strickland" (16) while her older brother "Squire Strickland" (17) appears with her in the household of their step-father Samuel Strickland (40) and their mother Mary (42). Although William Humphries and his second wife are not enumerated in the surviving pages of the 1835 Census, they might well have also been enumerated on one of the other missing pages of the census when the Old Capitol building burned in 1855? H.P.N. Gammell (1898) The Laws of Texas were among the documents Gammel and his wife salvaged from the fire.

The document which I am referring to is on-file in the Texas General Land Office concerning the balance to a league and labor of land granted to William Humphries (901 acres in Harrison, and 3703 acres in San Augustine County), which was assigned to Samuel Strickland, administrator on the decedent's estate.

http://www.glo.texas.gov/ncu/SCANDOCS/archives_webfiles/arcmaps/webfiles/landgrants/PDFs/3/5/4/354087.pdf

Accompanying these files are various documents relating to a certification made in Wilson County and dated June 24, 1877 by Hampton West and bearing his mark indicating that Martin West is "a true and lawful heir of Wm. Humphries, deceased late of Shelby County, Texas". Also on file is a copy of the 1877 affidavit of heirship by Martin S. West as well as a "Certificate of Heirship of William Humphreys and Samuel Strickland (1878)". There is further contain a conveyance by Hampton West and his wife Sarah West, of Bexar County to Louisa M. Williams, of the head right certificate of William Humphries, Samuel Strickland, Admr No. 244, Class 1st, issued by the Board of Land Commissioners of Shelby County for one league and labor of land. It therein notes: "The said Susan West, being the only child of said William Humphreys deceased," and bears the marks of W.H. West and Susannah West, dated January 8, 1861.

At Austin, there is an October 15, 1866 conveyance by Amos Strickland, together with his brother-in-law, William S. Mann and sister Rachel (Strickland) Mann, they being the children and heirs of Samuel Strickland, for a sum of $960 paid by Louisa M. Williams, relinquished their right title claim to the land and the certificate of their grandfather, David Strickland [Sr], for a league and labor of land situated in Red River County, also the head-right survey of their mother Mary Strickland's first husband William Humphrey's on the waters of Murvalls Bayou, as well as their interest in the head-right to 320 acres of land of their half-brother, Squire Humphries (this being his soldier's bounty for three months service in the Army of Texas, 1836). Also conveyed was the head-right of their own father Samuel Strickland for a half league issued in Shelby County and located on Plum Creek in Shelby, and all rights and titles of the said William Mann and his wife Rachel Mann in her grandmother Mary Strickland's head-right survey also located in Panola County on the waters of Murvalls Bayou.

This, the above document, closely mates to a letter from James Strickland to Alvey R. Johnson, dated in Freestone County, September 25, 1859 concerning a power of attorney that James gave to Johnson to transact his business in Panola County, and is advising he wished to have the instrument back because he is selling out in both counties. Obviously given the late date (1866), the Civil War no doubt had some impact on the continuance toward a settlement I move that one issue is now clear, anent the head-right of the senior matriarch Mary (Ogdon?) Strickland (1762-1837), I have record of sale of the very same land, having comprised 25 labors of land (4,527.5 acres) dated January 17, 1861 by John Strickland, one of the sons and heirs of Mary Strickland, conveying his right title to his mother's land in Panola County to Alvey R. Johnson. Sadly, Johnson's interest in this land had not been settled by the date of his death, and many years later, in 1897, his heirs retained an attorney in Panola County to reclaim the land. I do not yet know the outcome or whether a suit was ever brought in Panola County's District Court?"
