Surnames: Strickland - Trussell Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/GJB.2ACE/977.1 Message Board Post: Though I have Stricklands in my ancestry, the latest was the John Strickland family who moved from Wake, NC to Robertson, Tn in the earliest 1800's. My ancestor was the daughter of that family who married Benjamin Trussell and last resided in Marion County, Tn. Descendants were in Neshoba, Ms. However I do know there is a large amount of Strickland information, mostly in the vertical files, at the public library in Pascagoula, Ms. The person who organized the genealogy section there was Jean Strickland. She and her husband Ben published many, many books of transcripts from various Ms counties. Naturally they would have received a lot of Strickland correspondence, as their names were rather well known in the genealogy world, though I don't believe they ever filled all of their own Strickland blanks... Pascagoula is the county seat of Jackson County but I don't recall the name of the library. Hope this is of help! Helen Kirkendall
