Edgecombe County Deed Book D, page 17:

The descendants of Henry and Mary (Hickman) Strickland are based on the following six trees posted on the World Connect Project at RootsWeb:
John Crunk's Family Tree 15 Apr 2001 Watson/Geren Ancestors 29 Mar 2001 Moore-Lenert-Loustaunau-Hoff 14 Mar 2001 Taylor Genealogy 11 Feb 2001 Blair and Jones Family of Georgia 25 Nov 2000
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.
