I am trying to put together the Dean, Mercer, Strickland relationships. Matthew T. Strickland is reported to have died in December 1859 in the 1860 Mortality Schedule. I would appreciate any information that on this family. I'm trying to get them up on my webpage CORRECTLY! :) Incidently, my husband's line is through the Jeptha Dean-Malinda Mercer - the Stricklands are just in-laws but they married into a lot of his lines - Berryman, Bond, Bragg, Dean, Guest, Rowsey.
