  1. 1.  Alexander Thompson, Sr. was born about 1739 in Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania; died between 1808 and 1815 in Madison County, Georgia.

    Notes:

    From "Thompson Mill History" by Calvin G. Floyd in STRICKLAND SCENE Vol 2, No 1 First Quarter 1981 (Strickland Research, Inc. 1661 Laurancae Way, Riverdale, GA 30296): "Alexander Thompson, Sr. was born 1739 and died 1815 in Madison County. He married Elizabeth Hodge (1745-1820). They are buried near Thompson's Mill, but no grave markers have been found by the writer.

    Alexander Thompson, Sr. was a Revolutionary War soldier. He received a scalp wound at the battle of King's Mountain which left a permanent scar.

    Alexander Thompson moved his family from Burke County, NC, to Wilkes County, GA in 1788. His sister and her husband, William McDaniel, also came to Wilkes County at this time. (Later he) moved to a place on the east side of South River across from his son's home (James Thompson, Sr.). This was in Elbert County at that time. They built substantial log houses for their families. Alexander Thompson, Sr. built a dam across South River at the shoals. A grist mill and a saw mill were constructed and were operated by water power. His will states that he also had cotton machines. In the book, OUR KIN by Manning, it is written that this was the first grist mill in north Georgia. Lumber was sawed at the mill from primeval timber to build the two story home of Alexander Thompson, Sr.

    He was on the first Superior Court Jury list after Madison County was formed in 1812. He was a member of the first Board of Road Commissioners from Danielsville District in 1812. He bought one of the lots at auction onthe Court House Square in Danielsville, which were sold for funds to build a courthouse.

    A plantation of 1900 acres was operated by the Thompson family. Several slaves were owned by family members. The mills and farms were operated for several generations by descendants of Alexander Thompson.


    From HISTORY OF GEORGIA AND GEORGIA'S PEOPLE by Geo. G. Smith:

    Listed on page 623 are names of revolutionary soldiers who recieved money and those who received land warrants. On page 640, Alexander Thompson and Solomon Strickland, father of Thompson's daughter-in-law Eunice are listed as receiving land warrants. Alexander received land in Washington Co, GA. He was wounded in the Battle of King's Mountain.

    From the book HISTORICAL SKETCHES, PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHES AND EARLY SETTLERS IN NORTHEAST GEORGIA by Rev. Groves Harrison Cartledge, compiled by Jessie Julia Mize and Virginia Louise Newton, Athens GA 1960 pps 72-76:

    Alexander Thompson and his two sons, James and William, were from Burke County, NC and settled on the South Fork of the Broad River about 1790. Alexander Thompson located on the place now owned and occupied by his grandson, Dr. Berry M. Thompson, and built the first mill on the place. He was a man then somewhat advanced in life.

    From HISTORY OF PIKE COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI, 1798-1876, by L.W. Conerly: The Thompson ancestors were from Scotland. Some of them settled in New York, North Carolina and Georgia. Alexander Thompson, Sr and son James, fought in the battle of King's Mountain. he was wounded in the head. A man named Griffith was hot and when Thompson stooped to raise him up a ball stuck him in the forehead, passed over his head under the scalp and came out at the back of his neck, leaving a scar were hair was prevented from growing.

    Alexander married Elizabeth Hodge about 1760 in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. Elizabeth was born between 1742 and 1745; died between 1808 and 1820 in Madison County, Georgia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Notes:

    "James Thompson, Sr., son of Alexander Thompson, was also a soldier in the Revolution. He served for 20 months and 21 days and was also at the Battle of King's Mountain. He was appointed by the Georgia Legislature to the Board of Madison County Academy in November 1812. He was on the first Superior Court Jury list in 1812 of Madison County." (THOMPSON MILL HISTORY by Calvin G. Floyd)

    In HISTORICAL SKETCHES, PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHES AND EARLY SETTLERS IN NORTHEAST GEORGIA, p 72-76, it is noted that: "James Thompson had in his young manhood fought the British and Tories at Cowpens, King's Mountain, and Guilford Court House. He married after the war, Sarah, the daughter of the widow Saye, whose husband had been killed in the Battle of Savannah, Ga, on the 9th of October 1779. James Thompson and his wife, Sarah, raised two sons and several daughters. Two of their daughters became wives of the two Carringtons, the sons of Rev. Timothy Carrington, a Baptist Minister, and perhaps the first pastor of Lystra Church. From these two daughters of James Thompson are numerous Carringtons now residing in Madison County and elsewhere. James Thompson's youngest daughter, then somewhat advanced in life, became the wife of John Bell, of Hall County, GA, a nephew of old Jim Bell.

    Family/Spouse: Sarah Saye. Sarah was born after 1761; died in 1840. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Children:
    1. 11. James Thompson  Descendancy chart to this point was born about 1802; and died.

  2. 3.  Ruth Thompson Descendancy chart to this point (1.Alexander1) was born about 1763; died about 1860 in Greensburg, St. Helena Parish, Louisiana.

    Notes:

    SUCCESSION RECORDS OF ST.HELENA PARISH, LOUISIANA 1804-1854,
    E. Russ Williams, Jr., c1966, p. 31 NOTE (Patricia Ezell): In LA, Succession Records are the equivalent of Probate Records.

    Ruth Thompson, dgt. of Alexander Thompson and Elizabeth Hodge of Elbert Co. GA, married about 1787 to Henry Strickland, b. 1766, N.C., d. Madison County, GA Feb 1817. Henry was the son of Solomon Strickland and Amy Pace.

    In the 1820 census of St. Helena Parish, LA., Ruth Stricklin appears as a widow over 45 yrs of age, has 1 boy age 18-25, 2 girls 16-25, 1 boy and 1 girl 10-15 yrs of age.

    On 10 Apr 1823, Ruth Strickling married Benjamin Bagley in Amite County, MS.

    On 29 Oct 1824, Benjamin Bagley and wife, sold to Elizabeth White, chattel (probably a slave) in Amite County, MS. Conveyance Book I, page 2, p.68.

    On 28 Sep 1826, Benjamin Bagley sold to K. & R. Strickland in Amite County, land Conveyance Book 2, p.172

    Benjamin Bagley had probably been married before his marriage to Ruth as he appears in the 1810 Amite County census with a family. He received a land grant in Amite County on 21 Dec 1811, Township 3 North, Range 13 East, Section 24, 505 acres. He received another land grant in Amite County, MS. on 15 Oct 1816, Township 3North Range 6 East. This 2nd land grant was assigned to Josiah Powell on 1 July 1827 which may be a sign that Benjamin and Ruth moved.... or it could just be that he sold the land.--(Patricia Ezell)

    The BAGLEY family does not appear in the 1850 census for Amite, Wilkinson, or Franklin Counties, MS, nor do they appear in the 1850 census for St.Helena, East or West Feliciana.
    A number of the STRICKLAND children were in the 1850 St.Helena Parish census: Cade, James and Willis (at least).
    There is no succession record for Ruth Thompson, Ruth Stricklin, or Ruth Bagley in the St.Helena Parish records.
    One curious thing is how did Ruth Thompson from GA to MS? With whom did she come? Henry Stricklin died in 1817 in Madison County, GA. (at least according to Albert Casey's book, AMITE COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI AND ITS ENVIRONS, p. 589. It's probably that she came with some of her adult children who had already married while still living in GA., i.e. , like Elizabeth STRICKLAND who married Edward WHITE about 1814 in Elbert County, GA, Nancy STRICKLAND who married Grant Rice TAYLOR in Madison Co. GA on 19 Sep 1818, Willis H. STRICKLAND who married Amy in 1816 in Madison Co.GA (this family went to Tangipahoa LA where he founded Tangipahoa Baptist Church).

    Ruth married Henry Strickland about 1787 in Georgia. Henry (son of Solomon Strickland and Amey Pace) was born about 1766 in North Carolina; died on 6 Feb 1817 in Madison County, Georgia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Bill of sale dated 20 Nov 1805, rec. 24 Dec 1805, from A. Franklin and Isaac Strickland, executors of John Gilbert, to Alexander Thompson, Jr. (?) In cons. of $630, conveys a negro woman named Betty and two of her children, a boy named Nelson and a girl named Celi. Wit: J.I.C. Cleghorn

    Alexander Thompson settled on the place on which John Hopkins lived and died. He was a most excellent man and was one of the first elders of the Presbyterian church of Danielsville before its removal to town, when it stood two miles south of town and was known as Pisgah church. About 1820, Alexander Thompson, Jr. sold his place near Danielsville to a Mr. Towns, and removed to Mississippi, and the subsequent history of him and his family is unknown to me. (From HISTORICAL SKETCHES, PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHES AND EARLY SETTLERS IN NORHTEAST GEORGIA)

    Alexander Thompson, Jr. came to Amite County in 1818 with the Epps, Powells and Wells. They organized the Pisgah Presbyterian Church with Rev. Robt. Smiley pastor. This church is now in Summit with all its records. (From HISTORY OF PIKES COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI by Connerly, pub. 1909)

    Notes:

    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]

    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?

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.

    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.

    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,
