Hi Jerry. This came to me by way of the Fayette County web site. None of my lines connect. JB Jerryblay@aol.com wrote: I am searching for information about Larkin Stricklin/Strickland. He was born in Tennessee in 1809 and died in southern Illinois in 1862. He married Matilda and they had the following children: John (b. ~1830), Peter (~1836), Albert (~1838), James Monroe (Dec. 3, 1839), Harriet Elizabeth (Mar. 10, 1844), Ellen (~1845), Sarah (~1847), Caldonn (~1849), and Caroline (July 1854). The family lived in Saline, Christian, Washington, Montgomery, and Fayette Co., Illinois.
