Shelly, Hi, again! Thanks for helping. Here is what I need. Wilson Strickland. Parents were Abeil Strickland and Jane Goforth. Wilson had 2 sisters Abigail and Elizabeth Strickland. The family was orginally from Virginia. I would like to know if there is any record of Wilson Strickland arriving in Galveston. Try 1821. Is there any record of Wilson Strickland being one of the original Texas Rangers. Can you tell me when he died and place of burial? How old was he when he died? Is there any record of marriage or children? Wilson was the only one out of the family to leave New Madrid, Missouri to go to Galveston. That was on New Year's Day 1821. Thanks for your help.
