    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.
