From the JERUSALEM CHURCH CHURCH BOOK, Mississippi Territory of Amite, 29 Feb 1812
This church was located near the present town of Gillsburg. Organized 29 Feb 1812, when Mississippi was Indian Territory. The transcription is courtesy of Mrs. Alva McEwen, McComb, Mississippi.
Nov 1836: Received by experience, Elizabeth White Oct 1837: Elizabeth White, Pernecia Travis baptized Apr 1842: Members included: Elizabeth White, Emily and Patsy Strickland, Rutha White, Henry Strickland, Elizabeth White (dec'd), Polly (Mary) Travis, William Travis, Nancy Travis, John Travis, John Travis, Sr., Nancy Travis, Mary Travis
Elizabeth Strickland White and 10 others founded the regular Baptist Church of Jesus Christ on the banks of the Housen Bayou on May 29, 1858. This later became known as the First Baptist Church of Hemphill. Elizabeth joined by letter from the Jerusalem Church in Amite County, Mississippi. The other founding members were Richard and Ruth Travis, Henry S and Mary Etta White, Simon and Mary Ann Beckcom, John and Sophronia Everett, and Cannon and Sophronia Travis.
Elizabeth's husband, Edward, did not become a member of this church, founded by his wife and several of his children, until over six years had passed. He then joined on a profession of faith and Baptism in June 1864. According to the minutes of June 25, 1864, "Confarence was adjorned for the Church to meete at Father E Whites at 4 oclock for the purpos of hearing what the Lord had don for his precious sole, after hearing of his Experiance it was moved that Father E White be Received in Christian fellowship."
This experience must have caused him to evangelize, because on July 23d, 1865, "after preching, the privelege of the Church was Extended when too Servint Girls came forward, Amy belongin to Edward White & Charitee also belonging to Edward White. after hearing ther Experience was Received the church and then adjorned to the water" By September, 1865, Father E. White was Moderator of the Conference, though it appears he gave up this reponsibility quickly. He was replaced by Pastor John L Mills in October of 1865. His faith apparently never wavered as it was noted that he "Dyed Jan 13th 1871 in the Faith."
Daryl Woods (lindadaryl91@yahoo.com) emailed on November 8, 2009 that Milly did NOT die young, as is often shown. He states that she was born in 1813, and married Robert Woods and went to Florida. He states her name was shown as Emily Cathairne or simply Catharine in the Madison and Taylor census enumerations.
(Research):Said to be married to Mary Eleanor Barnwell.

Richard Chapman emailed, in February 2012, that Hardy Strickland was born in Guilford County, North Carolina
Many years earlier, Marianne Matkin shared the following research, along with the excerpt from a letter written by Hardy's son, Madison:
In the 1840 Jackson County, GA census, page 37, we find Hardy Strickland with males one 20/30 and one 50/60; females one 60/70. Also same page Madison Strickland males one under 5, one 20/30 and females one 20/30.
In the 1850 Jackson County, GA census page 44, we find Hardy Strickland, 67, farmer worth $5,000 born North Carolina with the John Hambrick family
In the 1860 Jackson County GA census, Jefferson Post Office, we find Hardy Strickland, age 77, born N.C., farmer worth about $16,000, Josaphen age 7 and Elizabeth Defur age 25.
The 1870 Jackson Co, GA census page 382, shows Hardy Strickland age 87 worth $1,200 born North Carolina. He is in the family of Jacob Strickland age 60.
According to Marianne, Hardy's son Madison wrote the following about his father, nicknamed "Devil," in a letter dated 25 February 1871: "Father has not been able to walk for some two weeks from a violent pain in one of his legs. His curseing apparatus appears to be in fine running order...he has a good appetite but it seems that his food instead of going to support his earthly tabernacle is convirted into Dams, God Dams, Hellfire and other little simple phrases of a similar nature."
The following note was posted to the STRICKLAND-L@rootsweb.com in June 2000:
I have absolute (as it can be) proof that Hardy and Priscilla are buried in Maysville, GA. The cemetery is on a hill about 125 feet off Deadwyler Rd and 1.5 miles from the intersection of Highway 52 and Deadwyler, on the left. It is in a pasture. I was just there, made pictures, will have them developed tomorrow. The cemetery is in very bad shape, most stones are on the ground but Priscilla, relict of Hardy Strickland, Hardy , d. 9 Mar 1872 in the 91 or 97th year of his life. (I have looked at the census of 1850,60,70 and consistent age is given and he would have in fact been only 89 years old if the census is right) His tombstone is still standing. Madison b. 25 Sept 1812 d. 12 Sept 1895 (Hardy's son), Madison's wife Harriett 24 Aug 1811 d. 17 Jan 1895 and his son Daniel Webster, also the Josie the dau. of Hardy and his third wife, Martha Defoor whom he married on 3 Nov 1850 in Jackson Co., GA On Josie's tombstone, which is on the ground it says, Josie Strickland b. (appears as this should be d.) 1863 10 years. Thanks Clare (Email to STRICKLAND-L@rootsweb.com, June 2000, from tiafind@aol.com)
His second wife was said to be Elizabeth KING.
Trudy Cox also shows as a fourth wife as Mrs. Patsy Day.

(STRICKLAND SCENE, Spring 1980, Vol. 1, No. 2, p 27).
The descendants of Henry and Mary (Hickman) Strickland are based on the following six trees posted on the World Connect Project at RootsWeb:

It appears that Mary MAY have been too old to be the mother of the younger children, assuming everyone's estimated date of birth is accurate. If possible, a will or probate records should be located to verify these children.
An email from Guy Strickland to STRICKLAND-L@rootsweb.com on April 26, 2001 shows two additional children of Henry and Mary Hickman Strickland:

The following deeds were entered into by some of the children of Henry and Mary Hickman Strickland:
Nash County Deed Book 5, page 251: Samuel BRYANT of Jackson Co, Ga., to Orsburn STRICKLAND of Nash Co., North Carolina. Dated 29 May 1810. 100 acres south of Tar River on Spring Branch, adj. Bryant and Arthur WILLIAMS. Wit: Gideon STRICKLAND, Matthew CARTER.

Nash County, North Carolina was formed from a part of Edgecombe County in 1777. Edgecombe County, created in 1741, as originally part of Bertie County, North Carolina. STRICKLAND SCENE Vol. 1 No. 1 Winter 1980, p 7>
In the notes of Tony Pickett, he cites "Ancestors and Descendants of Robert Easley, Sr,., and Elizabeth Earle Elkins of St. Helena Parish, Louisiana" by Austin Beverly Smith, et al (1993). Page 6 indicates that Henry Strickland donated the first land to build a church in St. Helena Parish, now called the New Zion Baptist Church. The eight children of Henry Strickland and Ruth Thompson were listed as Hardy Strickland, Lt. Ancil B. Strickland, Cade Drew Strickland, Sr, Thomas C. Strickland, Elizabeth Strickland, James Robert Strickland, Nancy Strickland, and Willis H. Strickland. The book further noted that when Henry Strickland married Ruth Thompson, Daughter of Alexander Thompson (RWS) in 1787, whe was disowned by her father. Apparently he eventually accepted the marriage, as he deeded Henry Strickland land in 1802.
According to the STRICKLAND SCENE Vol 7, No 3, pp 45-46, the following deed was located on microfilm at the Georgia Department of Archives & History.
ELBERT COUNTY GA DEED BOOK N, p 5:
This indenture made the twenty first day of June one Thousand Eight Hundred and Two, and in the twenty sixth year of the Independence of the United States of America Between Alexander Thompson Senr. of the State of Georgia and County of Elbert of the one part, and HENRY STRICKLAND of the County of Franklin and state aforesaid of the other part, Witnesseth that the Said Thompson for and in consideration of the sum of three Hundred and Fifty dollars to him in had paid to the Said Thompson by the Said Strickland on or before the Sealing and delivering of these presents the recept he doth hereby acknowledge.

The following query was posted (by mwise@prodigy.net) to the Strickland-L@rootsweb.com: "In the probate records of Madison Co, GA 1816-1841 Thompson C. Strickland and Cade D. Strickland were administering the estate of A.B. Strickland (in another place Ansel B. Strickland) from 1814-1824 James R. or P. Strickland bought property from the estate in 1814 (from) H. Strickland, Isaac Strickland, Willis H. Strickland. Who is this? And how does he related to Solomon Strickland of Madison Co?" Rocky Strickland (RockyIII@aol.com) replied that his undocumented records show "that Ancil B. Strickland, Thompson C. Strickland, and Cade D. Strickland were brothers and three of eight children of Henry Strickland and Ruth Thompson. They were grandsons the Solomon Strickland who was born 1735 in Nash County, North Carolina, and died 1818 in Madison County, Georgia."
His FindAGrave memorial page (ID 98340873) states notes his probably burial place was the Lystra Primative Baptist Church Cemetery in Comer, Madison Co, GA, as his parents were charter members and his mother was buried at this church two yeas before Henry's death.
It further shows the St. Helena Parish, Louisiana census from 1820 as follows:
1820 census, St Helena,? Louisiana
Widow Stricklin 0-1-0-1-0-0 2-1-2-0-1 - Elizabeth Gurley
One female over 45; b. by 1775
One male 18-25; b. 1795-1802
Two females 16-25; b. 1795-1804
One male 10-15; b. 1805-1810
One female 10-15; b. 1805-1810
Two females under 10; b. 1810-1820
According to researcher Kenneth Landry Schaefer, the "Widow Stricklin" listed on the 1820 census was not Ruth, but Elizabeth Gurley of Johnson Co., NC, daughter of Robert Gurley and widow of a Jeremiah Strickland, as shown by probate papers. It's likely then that Ruth was living with one of her children or other relative in 1820:
He married Elizabeth Wilkins of Franklin County, GA and settled in Hall County, GA, where he was killed on the highway by a traveler in a dispute about a dog--leaving sons Clement and Isaac and an unknown daughter.
Henry married Anna Lenoir of Gwinnett County, and they had 10 girls and 3 boys. See Chapter 38 of Pioneer History of Forsyth County, Georgia, 1981, for details on this family.
His Texas Death Certificate, viewable online at FamilySrarch.org, Texas Deaths 1890-1975, shows that he was a Laborer at a Saw Mill, and married. The informant was Mrs. E.M. Farrell.

Mariana Matkin wrote that "Of Jacob's children, Jacob Jr, Hardy, Solomon and Lucretia moved to Georgia. In the book, GONE TO GEORGIA, there is a many page run-down of the Strickland family. Solomon and brother Jacob, Jr. were both Revolutionary soldiers. The booklet THE STRICKLAND FAMILY OF GEORGIA GENEALOGY by Fitzhugh and Lee (1939) gives dates of births, deaths, marriages, etc."
Said to have been first been married to a Miss Wilson.
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 Vaughan.
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.

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.

From Anne S. Wise (mwise@prodigy.net), per her research of deeds of Madison County, Georgia:
28 Oct 1813 Madison Co, GA
...Know ye that the said Barsheba Strickland for and in consideration of the natural love and affection which I bear unto my beloved child Milledge Gilbert Strickland and for *** other good causes have given and granted unto Milledge Gilbert Strickland a certain negro boy called known by the name of Jack which boy was given me by my beloved father, Solomon Strickland....
Barsheba (X her mark) Strickland 28 oct 1813 Test: Allen Daniel, Charles Sorrels, Elisha Johnson
Rocky Strickland (rockyIII@aol.com) replied that according to his undocumented information, Barsheba Strickland had an illegitimate son John Millidge Strickland born 21 July 1811 in Butts County, GA and died 17 Oct 1895 in Carroll County, GA
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.

Joseph Strickland married Frances Brown (maybe the daughter of Dr. Samuel Brown, but I haven't checked that out). (This Joseph is the son of Matthew, Jr. and Ann Bracewell).
Date that will was made in Nash County was March 4, 1779. Probated in April Court, 1781. (died between March 4, 1779 and April Court, 1781, probably in Nash Co, NC.)
Will in Nash Co NC Page 17 Mar 4, 1779 - April Court 1781. Sons: Jesse; David; Daughters: Patience; Mary; Elizabeth Gr Sons: Marmaduke Mason - 100 Acres whereon I live; Burwell Strickland Ex: Sons David Strickland and Ralph Mason (son-in-law). Wit. Dun. Lamon, Arch. Lamon, Mary Lamon
Inventory by Ralph Mason exr., May 5, 1781
Marmaduke Mason was grandson of Joseph Strickland (last will and testament 8/3/1797 of Burrell Strickland). (Nash County Will Book I, p. 17).
CHILDREN Of JOSEPH AND FRANCES STRICKLAND:
Jesse 1726 married a Radford David 1728 married Elizabeth Hunt Patience 1729 Elizabeth 1730 married Ralph Mason and had Marmaduke Mason and others Mary 1731 Joseph Jr married Mary (?)(not mentioned in will so this child is
questionable)
ELIZABETH STRICKLAND, born in Nash Co. NC, married RALPH MASON, born about 1723 in Bertie Co., NC
Ralph and Elizabeth's children: William, James, Martha, Ranson, Isaac, Elizabeth, Obedience, Rebecca and Temperence and Marmaduke (?)
Her tombstone indicates she died at the age of 10. As she was shown as age 7 on the 1860 Federal census, it appears that she was born circa 1853 and died circa 1863.
He appears to be the son of George and Mary STRICKLAND of Williamson County, Texas. At the time of the 1900 census, they are shown as the parents of five children, the eldest being their son, Kerney A. STRICKLAND, born in July 1892. George STRICKLAND was born in Texas in July 1870, with his father born in S. Carolina and his mother born in Mississippi. Mary was born in Texas in August, 1873, with both her parents being Texans.

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.

In the book Genealogical Abstract from the Georgia Journal (Milledgeville) Newspaper 1809-1840, Volume One, 1809-1818, page 358, Issue of February 8, 1815 we find: "Died on Wednesday evening the 25th inst. in Franklin County, Mrs. Mary Allen, wife of Captain James Allen, after a lingering parturition. In the death of this amiable woman, a husband has lost an affectionate wife (made more so by his absence in defense of his country) to her children a tender mother....

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."
Online trees also show Mary and James as the mother of David, Thomps, John and Harriet, without citing sources.
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:

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.
