I sent this message earlier and it appears to have vaniswhed into the ether. Thank you, John Clark In a message on the Strickland page dated 4/5/01 10:26:43 PM, gbyerly@san.rr.com writes: The MATTHEW STRICKLAND you refer to is the son of WILLIAM STRICKLAND JR. This MATTHEW sold his land in 1750 and migrated to Johnston Co. NC. 20 Feb 1750 - MATTHEW STRICKLAND of Johnston Co NC to John Deberry of Northampton Co for 8 pounds (acreage not given) on south side Maherrin River in fork of Correroy (Corduroy?) and Kerby Creek and now in possession of said Deberry, as by a patent to MATTHEW STRICKLAND in 1745, all houses, gardens, etc. Wit: John Brittle, JOSEPH STRICKLAND. R Northampton Co. Feb Ct 1750. J. Edwards C Ct. Abstracts of DB 1-2, by Margaret Hofmann, p 75. My question is do any of you happen to know the descendants of the Matthew Strickland who moved to Johnston County? My Grand mother Martha Jane Strickland's father was Bud C. Strickland, son of one of the Matthews. This Matthew married Nancy Bunn of the Benjamin Bunn family from Wake County. Thank you for any info on this. John Clark, Atlanta Ga.
