Richard Strickland1

Male, #44508, (circa 1811 - )

Research note From Lew Griffin: "It would appear to me that the Richard Strickland in 1840 Lowndes County is a good a match for your 1850 Richard. The names Simeon and James Strickland also appear in 1840 Lowndes, and these were names your Richard used for sons.
     "A Simeon Strickland of Gwinnett County won land in the 1820 Land Lottery in Section 16 of Irwin, most of which ended up in Lowndes. He was probably the “Simpson” Strickland there in 1830. Martha Strickland, widow, of Tattnall, won land in Section 11 of Irwin, which also became Lowndes. And James Strickland, of Wilkinson, also won land in Section 11."

Birth*circa 1811 Richard was born at Georgia circa 1811.1 
Marriage*circa 1833 He married Elizabeth (?) circa 1833. In the 1900 Census, Elizabeth Strickland was living in the HH of Joel Strickland and identified as his step-mother. An Elizabeth had been listed as Richard Strickland's wife in the 1850-1880 censuses. Thus, Richard may have been married to two Elizabeths of about the same age or Richard's first wife had a different name and he married an Elizabeth prior to the 1850 census. One marriage definitely ruled out is: Richard Strickland & Elizabeth McKewn, 25 Apr 1832, Madison Co., GA.
