Jacob (His Mark) Strickland

Edward Nicholson

Christopher Naylor

Wm. (his mark) Marten

Nash County - May Term 1790 - the within will was in open court by the oath of Ed Nicholson ordered to be

recorded.

from "A GA Pioneer. . ."

The will of Jacob Strickland, First, dated Aug.18, 1788, Probated and recorded May Term of Court of Nash

Co., N. C. 1790. Lists no wife. Sons, Elisha, Jacob and Jacob (the son of this Jacob), Matthew, Hardy and Henry;

Also grandson, Theophelus Hickman, and son, Solomon Strickland. He listed no daughter.

Jacob Strickland died about March or April 1790. As he was not listed in the first census 1790 of N. C., he

must have died before they took the census. Jacob Strickland, First, was the grandfather of Selah, or Celia,

Strickland, who married Robert Young.

From"A GA Pioneer..." p 89:

. . . it will be recalled that the Strickland family figures in the ancestry of the Youngs, Blakes, and others.

Jacob Strickland’s daughter, Selah, married Robert Young and afterwards lived and died in Hall County, Georgia;

and their daughter, Delaney, married Thomas Blake of Randolph County, Alabama. . . Well, Jacob Strickland, the

elder came from Isle of Wight County, Virginia, along with his brother, Joseph, and secured grants of land in

Edgecombe County, North Carolina - but it was in that part of Edgecombe which was cut off from Nash County

about 1777. Therefore:

Jacob Strickland, of Nash County, N. C., made his will. Dated Aug. 18, 1788. Probated and recorded at May

Term of Court, 1790. See C. R. 69021, Archives Department at Raleigh. He wills Negroes and other property of

various kinds. But he mentions no wife. The legatees were:

1. Elisha. 2. Jacob and his son Jacob (these were the GA Jacobs) 3. Matthew, son

4. Hardy, son. 5. Henry, son. 6. Theophalus Hickman, grandson. 7. Mark, son. and 8. Solomon, son. (The order

of these listings may not be in order of birth -GAH)

Now there were but two Stricklands in Edgecombe and Nash Counties, N. C., of the early days, being stated

above, Joseph and Jacob. And they both left wills in Nash County.
