Dinah Stafford
Related to Abraham Stafford (b. 1750) assuming he is a brother. This is conjecture, and is not documented or proven. Family was most likely from Bath County, North Carolina. Dinah and her sister Ann married in a double ceremony in the old Ebenezer Church in present Effingham County, Georgia (reference Pioneers of Wiregrass Georgia, Vol. IV, p. 395)
Abraham Stafford
It is assumed based on his birth date that he was the son of Peter. There is no evidence to document this as a fact, and it is purely conjecture at this point and time.
John Stafford
Family was most likely from Bath County, North Carolina. It is unclear how John Stafford is related, however based on his birth year, it is being assumed that he may be the father of Peter Stafford.
Abraham Strickland Sr.
1850 Bryan Co, GA Federal Census:
16 70 70 Strickland Abraham 50 M W Farming 150 Ga X
17 70 70 Strickland Mary 50 F W X
18 70 70 Strickland Henry 24 M W X
19 70 70 Strickland Nancy 21 F W
20 70 70 Strickland Polly 20 F W
21 70 70 Strickland Abram 17 M W
22 70 70 Strickland Jesse 15 M W
23 70 70 Strickland Mary Ann 13 F W
24 70 70 Strickland Henry A. 2 M W
It would appear from the large difference in age between Mary Ann & Henry that Abraham married Mary in the late 1840's. Though her age of 50 would seem to make it unlikely she would have given birth to Henry at age 48. But not impossible.
Moved from Bryan Co, GA to Wayne Co, GA & then to Ware Co, GA.
David Jonathan Strickland
Son of John Strickland Jr. RS-NC (1749-1838), of Tattnall Co., GA. David's own family home site was located in the Red Hill area of Bulloch Co., GA. He had lands in both Bulloch and Bryan Cos., GA. He and his wife moved to their Bryan Co., GA home site in early 1850s, where he and his wife retired. He and his ill wife removed to Ware Co., GA in 1856, they lived near their daughter Cynthia. His wife, Treacy Martin Strickland died soon after they settled in Ware Co., GA (in 1856), and David spent the last years of his life as the caretaker of the High Bluff Church. David died in 1873.
Treacy Martin
Said to be a Native American of the old Bladen Co., NC Croaton Tribe -- which until 1926 were identified as a sub-tribe of the Cherokee Native Americans. Since 1926 her people are identified as "Lumbee" Native Americans.
