  Notes	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.
