22111 I34693  Strickland  Nellie P.  Abt 1916  Yes, date unknown  Based on her mother's death certificate, she appears to have married Harvey Elam.  STR06 
22112 I5333  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). My information states he died in California about 1870; however, the birthdate I have for this Noah is about 1820.

22121 I6729  Strickland  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.

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.

22129 I1850  Strickland  Robert Lee  29 May 1880  31 Dec 1966  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.

"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.

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.

"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?"

22145 I67  Strickland  Solomon  Between 1735 and 1742  Aft 1818  In Bruce Howard's book about the Pace family, he notes (pg 137-138) that Solomon and Amy resided at his plantation on Turkey Creek for many years and (this) is where most, if not all of their children were born. The area where they lived was near the Franklin, Wake, Nash county line, or in the southwestern part of Nash County. They were already living on their farm when the new county was created and in the year 1778 he applied for and received a grant for land which adjoined his farm:

Nash County Grant Book, Caveat no. 256 Solomon Strickland enters 250 acres of Land in Nash County, on both sides of the great branch of Turkey Creek above Barniby Barrons, Running so as to Include the Improvements he now lives on. 31st Dec. 1778.

The family lived here until 1786, when they and some of his brothers loaded up their wagons, herded together their stock, and moved to the State of Georgia. Solomon sold his 700 acres of land for 100 pounds of gold and silver on November 4, 1786 to Stephen Young (Nash County, N.C. Deed book 1, p. 342). At the time they came to Georgia the parent county in which they settled was old Wilkes County, which was later broken up to form Elbert and others. Two of the brothers, Solomon and Jacob were in Elbert, and Isaac, Henry and Matthew in the lower part of Franklin, which in 1796 became Jackson County. Solomon during that same period purchased land in Jackson upon which he was taxed, although he physically resided in Elbert.

In "Foxfire 7" edited by Paul F. Gillespie, 1982, Plate 12 (p 74) shows the 12 original members of the Lystra Primative Baptist Church as Timothy Carrington (Minister), Winifred Carrington, Solomon Strickland, Amy Strickland, David Robertson, Amelia Sorrells, William Davis, John Mearon(?), Mary Mearon, Pony(?) Williford, Nancy Williford, and Juda Williford, and was dated 15 January 1803.

Howard Parham, the only remaining member of the Lystra Primitive Baptist Church, recounted its history (p 71): "The church was first built over in Oglethorpe County (GA) across the river. It was and still is a Primitive Baptist church. The people moved over to this place and this building was built in 1820. They built it close to a spring so they wouldn't have to dig a well and close to water for a baptisizing hole. My granddaddy got baptized [in that hole] with ice on the banks. He wanted to be baptized then and didn't want to wait till the water got warm. [After they moved] they changed the name from Skull Shoals to Lystra. So this building is about 150 years old. They were still fighting Indians when the church was established. At that time, there was no community and no roads. The most members they ever had, according to my records, was fifty. They only have one member now and that's me. They had slave members there and a balcony set up for the slaves. They didn't sit down there with the (white) people. Once they turned a slave out for beating his wife. The women sat on one side of the church and the men sat on the other. [They] always did that. They had foot washings up until they quit having services. Every year in August they had communion and foot washings. We always called that Attracted Meeting. We had a three-day meeting in August and foot washings on one day."

In PACE OUR COLONIAL ANCESTORS, Bruce Howard wrote that in 1805, the clerk of the land office in Jackson County, who apparently had a keen eye and a bit of a sense of humor, listed Solomon, Senior as "Solomon (Bit nose) Strickland." This was because he has apparently got into a knock down, no holds barred fight with someone around this time period, and that someone may have got the better of him and bit a plug out of his nose and probably broke some bones (p 139).

Before leaving Elbert County and moving into the easter portion of Jackson County (circa 1805), Solomon made a deed of gift to certain of his children, disposing of his wordly property. Howard speculates that "he was quite a rounder and a good hand at drinking his own whiskey...(and perhaps) thought he was about to die" Howard went on to note that he did not intend to leave the impression that Solomon was one of little morals...he was an educated and energetic man and a very successful planter of the well-to-do class in the South. This eastern portion of Jackson was severed in 1811 to form Madison County. Solomon ratified the earlier gifts he made in Elbert County in 1813, while living in Madison County.

The deeds of gift are reproduced below:

In the Pace Society of America quartertly bulletin, No. 132, dated June 2000, Jane Shelton Strickland writes that Solomon is often shown as dying in 1818, but with no documentation. She believes his date of death could be as late as sometime after 1821.

22146 I1145  Strickland  Solomon  Between 1766 and 1770  1843  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.

Following this trouble, John moved his family to Orange. Dee Strickland moved back to Sabine County and married Luvenia Walker. Two of their three children survive: Mrs. Thelma Strickland Lakey of California and Mrs. L.C. Crouch of Houston. The Stricklands moved around to sawmilling, and lived in Rusk when Mrs. Strickland died.

A Most Distressing Accident

Luella Striffler Instantly Killed Last Thursday

A most distressing accident occurred northeast of Cass City last Thursday afternoon which resulted in the instant death of six-year-old Luella Striffler, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Solomon Striffler.

The younger children who attended the Wright school northeast of town, had, as usual, been dismissed at recess time and Luella and her little cousin, Katie Striffler, had started for home. Mr. Andrews, a neighbor, was coming to town with a load of baled hay and the little girls took hold of the back of the wagon box and trudged along behind. Soon after Luella went around to the side of the wagom and placed her school book which she had been carrying, upon the rig between the bales of hay. It slipped to the ground and she leaned forward to pick it up and must have fallen, for the hind wheel of the heavily laden wagon passed over her little head completely crushing the upper portion. One of her limbs was also broken and her foot crushed. Death was instantaneous.

The man on the wagon had seen the little folks on the way home from school, but drove on unconscious of the awful accident which had happened, not hearing their voices on account of the rattle of the wagon passing over the hard ground. His first intimation that anything had gone wrong was when his attention was attracted by the cries of Katie who ran screaming to tell her mother what had happened.

The accident took place almost directly in front of the homes of Samuel and Solomon Striffler, and the parents of the little girl were among the first to know the horrifying facts. Tenderly the tiny form was carried into the home which she had left so shortly before, but the little spirit had taken its flight.

Anna Luella was the fifth child of Mr. and Mrs. Solomon Striffler, who reside one mile east and one and one-fourth miles north of town. She was six years old last October and an exceptionally sweet and intelligent little girl. She was born on the farm where her parent still reside and for almost a year she has attended the Wright school.

The funeral services took place on Sunday morning in the Evangelical church, Rev. W. Bergey officiating. He preached from the text recorded in Psalms 16:6---"The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a godly heritage," and spoke many words of comfort to the grief striken family. He was assisted by Rev. J.W. Fenn.

The pall bearers were four of the playmates of the little dead girl: Seva Withey, Ella Wallace, Hallie Spurgeon and Carrie Hurley.

The floral tributes were profuse and very beautiful, the casket being completely hidden from view by flowers. The remains were interred in Elkland cemetery.

Besides her parents, she leave three sisters, Alice, Alma and Edna; and three brothers, Frank, of Detroit, and Leonard and Louis.

The sympathy of the entire neighborhood and village goes out to the stricken family in their deep sorrow over the sudden loss of their loved one.

Elkland Pioneer Answers Summons
Christian Striffler Passes Away Monday
Had Resided on the Homestead For More than Thirty Years

One by one the pioneers of this vicinity are answering the summons and are passing into the great beyond. We are called upon this week to announce the death of Christian Striffler, who passed away at this home, three miles east and one mile north of Cass City on Monday afternoon, February 6, 1911. Mr. Striffler had been in poor health for some time, but his condition was not alarming to his friends until a few days prior to his passing away. The end came peacefully and quietly, typical of the life the aged man had lived.

Christian Striffler was born December 8, 1827 in Germany, and while yet a young man came with his parents to America to seek a livelihood in a foreign land. The family located at Lancaster, New York, at that time the home of his future wife, also.

Mrs. Striffler, previous to her marriage, went to White Pigeon, Michigan. She was joined there by Mr. Striffler, where they were united in marriage July 3, 1856. Her maiden name was Mary ROMMEL. After their marriage they returned to Lancaster for seven years, when they again decided to make their home in Michigan, locating near Sturgis.

In the year 1877 they came to Cass City where several of Mr. Striffler's brothers resided and soon after purchased the farm which is now the old homestead, and where together they have toiled for more than thirty years. By hard work they gradually converted the wilderness into a nice farm.

Mr. Striffler ans his wife are loyal, consistent Christians, and members of the local Evangelical church. They were converted under the labors of Rev. Mueller and at that time united with the church of their choice.

The house was blessed with eight children, two of them, Christian and Mrs. S.G. BENKELMAN preceding the father to the homeland. The remaining children are: Samuel W. of Argyle, William D., Mrs. Charles PATTERSON, Mrs. H.L. McDERMOTT, Solomon, and Mrs. Edward HELWIG, all of whom resided in this vicinity. One brother, John Striffler, of this place and sixteen grandchildren, also survive him.

The funeral services were held at the Evangelical church Thursday afternoon at half past one o'clock, the pastor, Rev. J.A. Schweitzer officiating. The pall bearers were his three sons, Samuel, William, and Solomon; and three son-in-laws, H.L. McDERMOTT, Charles PATTERSON and Edward HELWIG. The interment was at Elkland cemetery.

Professor David F. Striffler died on May 29

ANN ARBOR? David F. Striffler, professor emeritus of dental public health in the University of Michigan School of Public Health, and professor emeritus of dentistry in the U- M School of Dentistry, died here on May 29. Striffler, 72, was a national leader in the field of dental public health.

"Students always came first with Dr. Striffler," said Brian A. Burt, chair of the Department of Community Health Programs at the School of Public Health. "He contributed substantially to the development of his discipline, but his greatest satisfaction was always the achievements of his graduates. In his active career and in retirement, he loved to keep in contact with as many of them as possible. He even learned to use e-mail after his retirement to help him do this. He will be sadly missed by all of us."
