Missouri V. Strickland Sharp, NC (or??), 1864-1920
This Missouri V. Strickland's death cert. (Rockingham Co., NC, 1920) says she was the daughter of Peter Strickland ("Stricklin" in one of the censuses) & his wife Druzilla McKinney, both shown as born in NC.But a persistent family story had it that "her folks were from elsewhere (like AL, MS, or maybe MO?), and part Indian." So was she perhaps a Civil War orphan, or ????, raised by kin?She married Julius Settle Sharp, c. 1885; they had several ch., all in New Bethel Twp., Rockingham Co., NC.Any info appreciated.
