1742 - Aft 1818 (~ 84 years)
Generation: 1
1. | Solomon Strickland was born between 1735 and 1742 in Nash County, North Carolina; died after 1818 in Madison County, Georgia. Notes:
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.

2. | Ephraim (1) Strickland (1.Solomon1) was born about 1765 in North Carolina; died in 1788 in Georgia. Notes:
He was to have died during the Indian War, at the Battle of Boggs Hill in Athens, Georgia.

3. | Henry Strickland (1.Solomon1) was born about 1766 in North Carolina; died on 6 Feb 1817 in Madison County, Georgia. Notes:
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:

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:
Henry married Ruth Thompson about 1787 in Georgia. Ruth (daughter of Alexander Thompson, Sr. and Elizabeth Hodge) was born about 1763; died about 1860 in Greensburg, St. Helena Parish, Louisiana. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

4. | Solomon Strickland, Jr. (1.Solomon1) was born between 1766 and 1770 in North Carolina; died in 1843 in Henry County, Georgia. Notes:
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.

5. | Mary (Molly\Polly) Cotton Strickland (1.Solomon1) was born on 1 Jul 1767 in Nash County, North Carolina; died after 1820 in Pike County, Mississippi. Notes:
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:

12. | Hardy "Devil" Strickland (1.Solomon1) was born about 1783 in North Carolina; died on 9 Mar 1872 in Jackson County, Georgia. Notes:
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.

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."
Elizabeth married Edward White after 1809 in Elbert County, Georgia. Edward was born about 1781 in Virginia; died on 13 Jan 1871 in Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas; was buried in Travis Cemetery, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

37. | Una (Eunice) Carter (5.Mary2, 1.Solomon1) was born on 24 Sep 1793 in Louisiana; died on 6 Jun 1870 in Sabine County, Texas. Notes:
IGI Records show that Una Carter married Amaziah Vardeman in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana on 12 December 1815. The couple moved north to Mississippi sometime after their marriage, as all three of their daughters were born here.
A woman named "Uny Massy" can be found in Pike County, Mississippi in 1840 (Microfilm #704). Ronald Vern Jackson's index to this census references page 152. It appears that the reference should have been to pg 297, which is what is actually stamped at the top of the microfilm as a guide. The census listing indicates this was a household made up entirely of females. There was one female between the ages of 10-15, two between ages 15 and 20, one between 20 and 30, and one between 40 and 50. Living with them as well was a female slave, who was somewhere between 26 and 56 years of age. It appears that Una might have actually had four daughters, and not just the three currently listed. Una's oldest known daughter, Polly, became 20 years old in 1840. Her youngest known daughter, Jemimah, reached age 15 the same year. This means that either of them might have been classified into two age categories. Therefore gauging the age of a fourth daughter is especially difficult. She could have been born prior to Polly, or after Jemimah. She might even have been a daughter by Una's second husband.
At the time of the 1850 Sabine Parish Louisiana, Una was living alone in dwelling #304, between her daughters Jemimah Amazia Vardeman White and Ann Vardeman White. She is listed in the transcription of the Sabine Parish census prepared by Kathy Casagranda as Unas Massa age 57, M (sic), born in Louisiana.
On the 1860 Sabine County Census, she is living with her daughter Jimimah, and son in law John Reagan White (Household 118). This is next door to Henry Strickland White and his wife Mary Etta Vardeman. On that transcription, she is shown as Una Massa, age 66, F, born North Carolina.
Una married Amaziah Vardeman on 12 Dec 1815 in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana. Amaziah (son of William Vardeman and Ann Ayres) was born in 1790 in Tennessee; died between 1826 and 1849 in Mississippi. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

75. | Madison Strickland (12.Hardy2, 1.Solomon1) was born on 25 Sep 1812 in Georgia; died on 12 Sep 1895 in Jackson County, Georgia. Notes:
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]

76. | Ansel Strickland (12.Hardy2, 1.Solomon1) was born about 1815 in Georgia; and died. 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.

100. | Henry Strickland White, Sr (22.Elizabeth3, 3.Henry2, 1.Solomon1) was born about 1812 in Georgia; died on 10 Feb 1886 in Sabine County, Texas; was buried in Spring Hill Cemetery, Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas. Notes:
On the Sabine County 1854 Scholastic Census, H.S. White was shown as of household with five (5) children between the ages of 6 and 16 enrolled at School District No. 6. They were: Edward, Vardamenn, Mary, Hanibal, and Arrilla. Who was Arrilla, and who was her mother? Could this have been Hanzel, his daughter by Eliza Jones?
Henry S and Mary E White (third wife) were among the 11 founding members of the First Baptist Church of Hemphill, all of whom gathered on the banks of the Housen Bayou, drawing up 12 articles of Faith and 24 articles of Decorum. Henry served as the clerk to the church, recording all church proceedings for a period of some 12 years (from 1858 to 1870), as a delegate to church conferences, and as the moderator of church proceedings. In November, 1868, he was ordained as a Deacon of the Church. The MINUTES 1858-1890 FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH HEMPHILL, TEXAS were transcribed and indexed by Di Ann Vick in 1982, and are available for purchase from both Ingmire Publications, 10166 Clairmont Dr St. Louis MO 63136 and Ericson Books 1614 Redbud St Nacogdoches, Texas 75961.
In 1876, H S and Mary E White left the First Baptist Church and were among the founding members of the Antioch Baptist Church in the Gravel Hill Community of Sabine County. According to a plaque on the front of the Antioch Church, J. S. Lambert and J J Roundtree were the organizers. Other founding members included: George Conn, John Anderson, T.D. Burkhalter, John De Weese, L.W. Hoard, Hosie Baldree, Ann Mason, Sophie H. Wallace, Mrs. C.A. Hoard, C. Baldree
Per the book "Sabine County Historical Sketches and Genealogical Records" by White and Toole, "Henry S. White Sr. was Judge of Sabine County from 1869-1875, serving with Solomon Arthur. (They were called Chief Magistrates until the new State Constitution went into effect at the end of their term). Henry S. White was also a member of the Littleton Fowler Masonic Lodge. As the White Plantation lay just west of Hemphill, he was one of the last of the "Paderos" for the return of run-a-way slaves."
I have been unable to locate a CSA service record for Henry. It is probable that he was considered too old for service, he was almost 50 at the outbreak of the war.
His tombstone indicates he was a Mason.
Note in the 1920 Sabine County, Texas federal census, there was a 50 year old mulatto farmer named Jesse White (#594-616). He noted that his father was born in Mississippi and his mother in Georgia. What is his relationship, if any, to the other White's in Sabine County, Texas?

Presumably the trailblazer in the family. He was the only family member living in Sabine County in 1850. All the other family members migrated from Mississippi at a later date. His two oldest daughters were born in Louisiana circa 1848 and 1849, so he had not been in Texas long. His middle initial is sometimes shown as C and other times as E.

108. | Sophronia Pauline White (22.Elizabeth3, 3.Henry2, 1.Solomon1) was born in Nov 1833 in Amite County, Mississippi; died on 15 Jun 1915 in Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas; was buried in Hemphill City Cemetery, Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas. Notes:
Sophronia was born during an auspicious month. On November 13, 1833, between midnight and dawn, thousands of meteors showered the sky over North America. To the native peoples of the land, it appeared that the stars were falling out of the heavens. Some thought it was the judgment day. Others called it "The Night the Stars Fell".
A young girl who was a slave at the time of the event said "Somebody in the quarters started yellin' in the middle of the night to come out and to look up at the sky. We went outside and there they was a fallin' everywhere! Big stars coming down real close to the groun' and just before they hit the ground they would burn up! We was all scared. Some O'the folks was screamin' and some was prayin' we all made so much noise, the white folk came out to see what was happenin'. They looked up and then they got scared too."
The celestial phenomenon called "the most impressive and awesome display ever recorded" was, in fact, the Leonids meteor shower seen in one of its most impressive years. Viewers witnessed 50,000 to 150,000 meteors per hour, only equaled by the November 17, 1966 display, when the Leonid shower brought 150,000 meteors per hour. Debris from the comet Temple-Tuttle that orbits the sun every 33 years causes the shower.
She was born and raised in Amite County, Mississippi, and can be found on the 1850 census with her parents. Sometime after that, the family moved to Sabine County, Texas.
After her husband's death, she lived with her oldest son, William Hardy Travis. She can be found living with he and his wife, Grace Ener, at the time of the 1900 and 1910 Sabine County census.
Sophronia married James Cannon Travis on 5 Dec 1850 in St. Helena Parish, Louisiana. James (son of William Harrison Travis and Nancy B. Hurst) was born about 1826 in Amite County, Mississippi; died on 20 Apr 1897 in Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas; was buried in Hemphill City Cemetery, Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas.

Could the note below instead be about THIS Ancil Stricklland
Hey Kuz'ns,
I never found or recorded this info. before, so I thought I'd pass it on, i.e., assuming some of you other Strickland researchers may be interest 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 ??? (nee: unknown)(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).
Hope this helps someone, and regards to you & yours,
