Henry Strickland

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:

This indenture made the twenty first day of June one Thousand Eight Hundred and Two, and in the twenty sixth year of the Independence of the United States of America Between Alexander Thompson Senr. of the State of Georgia and County of Elbert of the one part, and HENRY STRICKLAND of the County of Franklin and state aforesaid of the other part, Witnesseth that the Said Thompson for and in consideration of the sum of three Hundred and Fifty dollars to him in had paid to the Said Thompson by the Said Strickland on or before the Sealing and delivering of these presents the recept he doth hereby acknowledge.

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]

Notes:

Lived in Alabama. He was married to Virginia.

Notes:

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]

There was a Cade D. Strickland who fought in the Confederate forces in Louisiana, Fourth Louisiana Infantry, Fourth Regiment, Company G, as a Private. (Ancestry.com, US Civil War Soldiers, 1861-1865, M378 roll 28). Further research should be done to see if this record if for Cade Drew Strickland of St. Helena Parish.

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.

*Schluter and Toole, in their annotated transcription of the 1850 Sabine County, Texas census, show her as "dau of John and Mary Smith and widow of ---- Watkins." Scott Watkins points out that she is actually Mary Kemp Watkins, mother of Mary Morris and Drucilla White. A daughter of John and Mary Smith, namely Elizabeth, was married to Green Berry Watkins, thus causing the confusion.

James married Drucilla C. Watkins on 29 Oct 1846 in Sabine Parish, Louisiana. Drucilla (daughter of Alfred L. Watkins and Mary Drucilla Kemp) was born on 30 Jul 1829 in Ayish Bayou, Texas And Coahuila, Mexico; died after Jun 1860. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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.

Notes:

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,

Why is she not listed with her father and stepmother at the time of the 1850 or 1860 federal census enumerations? She would have been very young, and presumably still in their home.

Notes:

According to her obituary, Ruth White McLemore "slipped in her home in Hemphill, and fractured her left thigh on June 2nd. She was carried to . . . hospital in Jasper (and then) transferred here to the home of her son, Mr. V.E. McLemore of San Augustine, where she passed away on June 11, 1939. She was born December 27, 1859 at Hemphill. She joined the Baptist church when a young girl and was a faithful Christian worker all of her life. She married to J.F. McLemore on December 13, 1883 and was the mother of eight children, four boys and four girls. Six children survive: namely V. E. McLemore, San Augustine; Earnest and Ira McLemore, Miss Mellie McLemore, and Mrs. Herman Commack of Gravel Hill, and Mrs. Mermon Speights of Hemphill. She is also survived by seventeen grandchildren and three great grandchildren. In addition to relatives, local people attending the funeral were: Mr. and Mrs. T.F. Read, Mr. and Mrs. E.B. Jacks, Mr. and Mrs. John D. Clark, Mr and Mrs W.F. Stephenson, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Burkhalter, Mrs. Rosalie Polly, W.L. Polly, Mr. and Mrs. Rob Horn, Mr. and Mrs. J.J. Mitchell, Mrs. E.M. Boyett, Theo Boyett and others."

Melinda McLemore Strong has a maroon and white quilt made by Ruth circa 1880. At Ruth's death, the quilt was passed on to her daughter Millie. Millie added a calico border to the quilt edges which had apparently frayed. At Millie's death, the quilt was passed to her older brother, Vessie McLemore. After Vessie and Nina died, Evon McLemore Tisdale used the quilt. She later gave it to her niece, Melinda McLemore Strong.

(Research):Triphene is a "pseudo-classical" name, often whimsically given to the third child in a family.

Rutha married John F. "Finn" McLemore on 11 Dec 1883 in Sabine County, Texas. John (son of John M. McLemore and Sarah Morgan) was born on 28 Dec 1853 in Decatur County, Georgia; died on 12 Feb 1924 in Sabine County, Texas; was buried in Gravel Hill Cemetery, Sabine County, Texas.

Could Cade be a nickname for Cajabeth? Jack White emailed, in August, 2013, that he is descended from Cajabeth White, who was living in Bute Co, NC with his brother, William, as early as 1766. He had two sons, John and Robert. John White inherited land from a man named John Seagrove, whose will names John White as his nephew. It seems likely that Cajabeth's wife, Frances, was a Seagrove, but this is not proven.

The 1771 tax list for Bute Co shows that Young McLemore, who is part of your family tree, had an overseer named John Seagrove, who appears on a number of documents with members of the McLemore family before they migrated out of Bute (later Warren) Co. I have been trying for a couple of years to piece together precisely how the Seagrove, McLemore and White families may have interacted with one another, but the Seagrove family history is as complicated as that of the Whites.

The thing that interests me about your website is that Cajabeth White was frequently referred to in court documents as Cade, and I see in your website that two sons of Edward White (b. 1781 in Mecklenburg Co, VA) each had sons they named Cade.

Cade married Mary Susan Click on 9 Nov 1875. Mary (daughter of William M. Click and Elizabeth Merchant) was born on 14 Dec 1856 in Arkansas; died on 23 Jan 1909 in Texas; was buried in Gravel Hill Cemetery, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

[Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Jessie Worsham, Daniel's brother-in-law was living with him in 1900. Tony Pickett also shows a marriage to Josephine Montgomery, but this has not been confirmed.

Daniel married Josephine Forse before 1886. Josephine (daughter of John Smith Forse and Lucynthia Smith) was born on 26 Feb 1866 in Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas; died on 1 Jan 1888 in Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Daniel married Martha Jane Worsham on 28 Dec 1890 in Sabine County, Texas. Martha was born on 12 Apr 1870 in Texas; died on 5 Jan 1954 in Smithville, Bastrop County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

In her Rootsweb World Connect File entitled "Descendants of John and Mary Smith," Katherine Freistat shows that Mary White, the wife of Gram Berry Ferguson, is the daughter of James and Drucilla White. I believe that James and Drucilla are the most likely parents of Mary, but there are several discrepencies that should be resolved if possible.

1) The fact that Gram Ferguson's wife was a White is supported by this entry in "Sabine County Marriages 1875-1900 1900-1910 Prior to 1875" by Blanche Toole: White, Mary E to Green B Ferguson ca 1870

However, Green is Gram's twin, and it appears he actually married Lucy Bean in Orange County (source: Pam Mahon, family researcher)

2) A Mary E. S. White is listed on the 1850 Sabine County census as a two year old born in Louisiana in the household of James E. White and Drucilla C. (Watkins) White (#258-258), along with younger sisters Drucilla and Cordelia. However, the Mary Elizabeth Sophronia White shown as the wife of Gram Berry Ferguson by Katherine Freistat is shown as being born 6 years later, in 1854.

3) Another mystery is why she is not listed with her mother, Drucilla, and stepfather, John C. Partin, in the transcript of the 1860 Sabine County census by Helen Gomer Schluter. Her sisters Theodosia and Cordelia are listed. The actual microfilm should be reexamined. She would have been only 12/13 at the time, so it is doubtful she was already married. If she was not married, this means she had either died or was living with another family in 1860. Her grandparents, Edward and Elizabeth (Strickland) White were living in Sabine County in 1860, and an 11 year old girl, shown as L.E. White born in Texas, was living with them, according to the transcript of the 1860 census prepared by Mrs. Helen Gomer Schluter. Could this have actually been M.E. White? There is a discrepency in her birthplace, Texas vs. Louisiana. However, both she and her grandparents might have forgotten that she was born in Sabine Parish and not Sabine County. Additionally, L.E. White does not show up again. She may have either died or married after 1860, and may have indeed married Gram.

4) On a transcript of the 1870 Census of Sabine County (Blanche Toole), Household #25/25 lists:

Ferguson, G. 21 M W Farmer Texas
" , Mary E. 16 F W K.H. Texas

This would make Gram's wife born circa 1854, not circa 1848 as is shown by Katherine Freistat. I read the actual microfilm, and the ages on the transcript match those on the microfilm. It is possible that the census taker made a mistake when recording her age, or that Mary gave him incorrect information.

It could also be that Gram's wife is someone other thatn Mary White, the daughter of James White.

Family/Spouse: Gram Berry Ferguson. Gram (son of Roland Ferguson and Mahuldah Latham) was born on 29 Oct 1849 in Sabine County, Texas; died on 25 Apr 1923 in Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

According to the MINUTES 1858-1890 FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH HEMPHILL, TEXAS, Theodosia Travis was received by experience and baptized by Minister J.J. Rountree on July 26, 1879.

Elder Rountree apparently had more than Bible Study on his mind. In April, 1883, he was investigated for, and found guilty of "gross unchristian conduct. Guilty of Seduction and adultery...all the churches of which Eld. Rountree was Pastor of to be notified of the meeting and invited to send deligates to said meeting to participate inthe investigation and deliberations...Resolved further that this Church withdraw fellowship from Theodosia Travis for gross unchristian conduct." The charges against Rountree were sustained and fellowship was withdrawn from him in June 1883. No mention is made of the charges against Theodosia.

(Note: These references might instead be to Theodosia's older cousin, also named Theodosia Travis, the daughter of R.H. and Ruth (White) Travis who was born in 1858. As is appears that the R.H. and Ruth Travis family moved from Sabine County prior to 1880, they are most likely about this Theodosia).

When he registered for the draft during World War I, he was a resident of Shreveport, and manager at the Southern Farm Co. His nearest relative was his wife, Mrs. Oliva White. She was shown as having gray eyes and brown hair, and being tall and slender.

The Social Security Applications and Claims Index has a listing for a Cade W. White, the husband of Oliva McMichael, and father of Edward Earl White. Cade's older sister, Bessie, was married to Artie McMichael.

(Research):

Could Cade be a nickname for Cajabeth? Jack White emailed, in August, 2013, that he is descended from Cajabeth White, who was living in Bute Co, NC with his brother, William, as early as 1766. He had two sons, John and Robert. John White inherited land from a man named John Seagrove, whose will names John White as his nephew. It seems likely that Cajabeth's wife, Frances, was a Seagrove, but this is not proven.

The 1771 tax list for Bute Co shows that Young McLemore, who is part of your family tree, had an overseer named John Seagrove, who appears on a number of documents with members of the McLemore family before they migrated out of Bute (later Warren) Co. I have been trying for a couple of years to piece together precisely how the Seagrove, McLemore and White families may have interacted with one another, but the Seagrove family history is as complicated as that of the Whites.

The thing that interests me about your website is that Cajabeth White was frequently referred to in court documents as Cade, and I see in your website that two sons of Edward White (b. 1781 in Mecklenburg Co, VA) each had sons they named Cade.
