  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.
