View Tree for Mathew Jr. StricklandMathew Jr. Strickland (b. 1663, d. July 15, 1730)

 Includes NotesNotes for Mathew Jr. Strickland:
The will of Matthew Strickland, Jr. of Isle of Wight Co, VA, probated in 1730 in Isle of Wight establishes that Matthew, Joseph and Jacob of the 1744 land grants of North Carolina were his sons, rather than the sons of a John Strickland, from England. They could not be the grandsons of John Strickland of 1629 of Dedham, Massachusetts as it is seen from the outline so far, since about 3 generations would have to preceed Matthew Strickland, Jr. for them even to be in the line of descent from this John. More court records are needed from both Virginia and North Carolina to trace all the children of Matthew Strickland, Sr. Especially needed are the early deed records.
