Priscilla Ann Strickland

Notes:

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. (p. 146).

Priscilla married Hardy "Devil" Strickland about 1802. Hardy (son of Solomon Strickland and Amey Pace) was born about 1783 in North Carolina; died on 9 Mar 1872 in Jackson County, Georgia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

The (other) Nancy, (who was) dau of Solomon and Amy, in my opinion did not marry. Solomon made no mention of her children in the deed of gift only of the slaves he had given her earlier and stated that Nance wished her bro. Ephrium to have the slaves. The Nancy who m. Edward HARRELL was the dau of Devil Hardy (granddaughter of Amy and Solomon). Nancy was the sister of my ggrandfather. Her descendents have clear connection of her to Hardy and Priscilla. Clare on the STRICKLAND-L list is her descendent.

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.

Madison married Harriet Allan on 13 Nov 1834 in Habersham County, Georgia. Harriet (daughter of James Allan and Mary Strickland) was born on 24 Aug 1811 in Georgia; died on 17 Jan 1895 in Jackson County, Georgia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Most internet trees show that the Ansel Strickland that married first Elizabeth Strickland and later married Amy Braswell is a son of Hardy "Devil" Strickland and his wife, Priscilla Ann Strickland.

Richard Chapman (chapman_richard@bellsouth.net) emailed, in December 2012, that he was "convinced that this Ansel is not the son of Hardy and Priscilla as most trees on Ancestry state. My first clue came from a descendant of Hardy and Priscilla who is reasonably sure (based on oral family history) that Hardy's son Ansel never married. Assuming this is correct, I began a search to find my Ansel's parents. First, I learned that Ancel's first wife Elizabeth was the daughter of Richard Benjamin Strickland. Next, I confirmed that Richard B. had a brother named Bennett and that Bennett had a son named Ansel Butler born abt. 1815 (about the same time as Hardy's son) This meant that Ansel's first wife was also his first cousin. I have discovered many trees which indicate that this Ansel is the son of Bennett Strickland and Nancy Bone. The most credible source is a descendant of my Monroe's brother. She is positive of her information but at this time has not provided her sources. Family names and proximity of families indicate Ansel has more ties to Benjamin and Bennett than to Hardy's family. I noticed that a John F. Wise from Montgomery,Al has made comments about Ansel and he invites reactions"

John F. Wise of Montgomery, Alabama posted the following information on a message board:

I never found or recorded this info. before, so I thought I'd pass it on, i.e., some of you other Strickland researchers may be interested in this finding and conclusion.

While checking the U.S. Census of 1860 info. contained in the "Strickland Scene," Vol 9, No. 4, June 1991, page 67, I ran across the following census entry for Clarke County [GA], Dwelling 222, Family 222, on A. B. STRICKLAND (39 years old), his wife MARY ??? (27 years old), and their six (6) children.

I checked this census entry against my master database [I always do this to clear up unattached "strays"] and found that A.B. STRICKLAND fits the birth date and surrounding county areas, and the name and year-of-birth of the son of HARDY (DEVIL HARDY) STRICKLAND SR. and wife PRISCILLA ANNE STRICKLAND, of nearby Jackson Co., GA. Since this is a good circumstantial and logical "probable" hit, I connected this A.B. STRICKLAND found in Clarke Co., GA. (in 1860) to DEVIL HARDY STRICKLAND SR. in my database.

Of course my info. is in no way proof positive, so I stand ready to be admonished, corrected, etc. If any of you have changes or additions to this finding, please share your info. and update your Strickland kuz'ns (me included).

Born c 1820, in Jackson Co., GA. Son of HARDY (DEVIL) STRICKLAND Sr. (1783-1872), of Guilford Co., NC; and his 1st cousin and 1st wife PRISCILLA ANN STRICKLAND (1777-1841), of Madison and Jackson Cos., GA.
