Physical Descriptions of GA/FL Stricklands C.S.A.
Here are some physical descriptions of some of the Stricklands of southeast Georgia, of prior NC/SC lines, who served in the Confederate Army in Florida. These descriptions were as they enlisted. I have added some comments about who I think they are. Please let me know if I've mixed anyone up or if you can identify some that I haven't yet.
