  1. 1.  Solomon Strickland, Jr. was born between 1766 and 1770 in North Carolina; died in 1843 in Henry County, Georgia.

    Notes:

    An article entitled "Solomon Strickland of Henry County, Georgia" by Nancy Cornell appeared in Vol 6, No 2 of the STRICKLAND SCENE newsletter, and is summarized below:

    Solomon Strickland lived in Wilkes County, Georgia in 1790 per the County Tax Digest. He put in a claim for stolen horses in Elbert County, GA in 1802. In 1804, he was given land in Elbert County by his father. Though this "Deed of Gift" is no longer extant, it is referred to in a later deed written by his father in Madison County, Georgia in 1813. Solomon was still in Elbert County when he drew land in Baldwin county in the 1807 Georgia Land Lottery.

    He was one of the first settlers in old Randolph County (now Jasper County, GA). The earliest record of him in Jasper is in May 1808, six months after the county was formed from a part of Baldwin County. This record, titled "Stock Marks" includes Solomon Stricklin. By July 1812, Solomon has become a Justice of the Inferior Couty. Military records at the Georgia Department of Archives & History shows Solomon served as a Private in Capt. Joshua Hagerty's Company in November 1813.

    In Wiley A. Clements booklet, published 1921, and titled HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY MAY 1821-1921 states: "Among the very first to come to the County were John Glenn, Solomon Strickland, and Wiley Heflin who settled on the Towaliga River..."

    In HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS OF GEORGIA, Rev. George White's brief description of Henry County includes a list of the first Superior Court Grand Jurors and includes S. Strickland. From a list of the "Members of the General Assemblies of Georgia, 1777-1958," We find that Solomon Strickland was elected the first Representative of Henry County in the year 1822. He served this two year term alone, and in 1825 was elected along with John Griffin, evidently to fill a vacancy left by Thomas C. Bennine.

    Military Records at the Georgia Department of Archives & History list Solomon Strickland as a Colonel in Henry County from July 17, 1823 to April 20, 1824. For the rest of his life, he was referred to by many as Col. Strickland.

    Wiley Jones James, Solomon's grandson, in a letter dated November 27, 1919, gave the following general description of the family: "The Strickland family are scattered everywhere and all claim to be kin-folks. They cannot be excelled for bravery, but are not as strident and cautious (as others). Politically, they were Whigs, and hated to be defeated on anything and loved their ancestry. Their religion was divided between the Baptist and Methodist. My Mother had three brothers who were missionary Baptist Ministers. Their names were Barnabus, Ephraim and Bedford."

    It is apparent Solomon was a fairly wealthy man, and one who was respected by his acquantances. During this period of time, a mans wealth was primarily judged by the amount of land and the number of slaves he owned. In the Henry County 1831 Tax Digest, Solomon is listed as owning 14 slaves and 500 acres of 2nd quality land on the Towliga River, as well as owning one "big" carriage. Not everyone owned a carriage, so perhaps this is an indication of his wealth. The 500 acres was his "home" or main plantation, and he also owned an additional 1500 acres of third quality land on the Towliga River. The 1837 Henry County Tax Digest states Solomon still owned 500 acres on the Towaliga River, and 11 slaves.

    No record has been found of Solomon's marriage to the mother or mothers of his children. Traditon says he married (1) Frances Diamond and (2) Peggy Diamond. His wife was still living in 1830, but died sometime prior to 5 June 1839, when Solomon married again to Hulda Ann Hardwick of Butts County, GA. Solomon and Hulda had no children.

    In the Pace Society of America quartertly bulletin, No. 132, dated June 2000, Jane Shelton Strickland writes that Solomon m. Frances Diamond who experienced travail of her husband who fathered a child by her niece, Margaret (Peggy). This is documented in Jasper County, GA Court Records.

    The records in the Henry County Ordinary's office shows that on September 4, 1837, Solomon Strickland applied for guardianship of his grandchildren, and it was approved by the court. He was "hereby appointed Guardian of the persons and property of Frances Eliza, Mary Ann Paulina, Nancy Susan, Enoch Solomon and Barnabus Bedford Solomon, minors of Bedford Solomon, deceased." He had been granteded temporary guardianship March 30, 1837.

    Children not listed in his will but known to have been his children were: Barnabus Strickland and Nancy Ann James. Petitioners of a caveat against Solomon's will on May 9, 1844 were Elijah Strickland; John P. Buckalew and Darkas (Dorcas) his wife; Alfred Buffington (who married a Lavina Strickland), Barnabus Strickland; and John P. James and Nancy Ann, his wife.
