I noticed "Strickler" as one of your surnames. I am working on the Shidler surname. William Henry Shidler (born 1895)from Pulaski County, Indiana changed his name from "Strictler" (not clear on the spelling) to Shidler. The only place I have seen William Henry's original name was on his marriage application. It appears his father's name was "R. Strictler" (could be Stridler, Stricttler - penmanship was poor). Believe his first name was Rufus. William Henry Shidler's mother was Mary Floyd. Think there may be a connection?

Stewart Brown settled in Pulaski Co on the Pulaski/Fulton Co line about five miles from Cass Co. Many of his children and grandchildren stayed in the surrounding area; I've found descendants in all three counties. Are we related?
