March Term 1857-[Case] Abraham Strickland, Levi Strickland, Richard Pittman(it appears that Altman was wrongly transcribed as Pittman) and wife, et all vs Rachel Strickland Administratrix of Gabriel Strickland deceased.
[Affidavit] 11 October 1855-Rachel Strickland says Gabriel Strickland died about 1844.She is the widow of Gabriel.She says the property in question was acquired by her and the minor children after his death.It did not belong to Gabriel when he died.When Gabriel died he left Rache and seven children: Mary, Gilbert, Willoughby, Albert, George(Georgia Ann), Julian(Julia Ann), Martha Ann Cornelia.Gilbert died before he was of age and left no heirs.Rachel denies the petitioners have any thing in trust in said Estate because they are not the lawful heirs of Gabriel.Gabriel was never lawfully married to Mary, the mother of the petitioner, and they are only bastard children of Gabriel.She heard Gabriel say he was never married to her.
Wm. B. Gaulden, Plff. Atty.
Census show that Gabriel was married or living with a woman in Tattnall closer to his age who died before he married the much younger Rachel in Tattnall Co and fathered these seven children.There are children in Gabriel's household before his marriage to Rachel that match the ages of Abraham, Levi, and Elizabeth.Whether he had married this Mary before they moved to Tattnall Co. is open for debate.I've seen it said that Gabriel married his brother's widow and fathered these children.
It appears that the Levi Strickland was the same one who is found in Ware and Brantley Co.The Abraham Strickland appears to be living in Tattnall Co. in 1850 and to have moved to Clinch Co. in 1860.I've seen it posted that this Abraham married a Mary Connor.There is another older Abraham Strickland in 1850 Tattnall who married a Mary Dukes.He is the one who moved to Bryan Co. and married Eliza Jane Durrance.Elizabeth Strickland married Richard Altman and is found in Ware and Appling Co.
