http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyjeffer/hadwiln.htm «u»THE STRICKLANDS«/u» were a distinguished family among those Friends who came into Philadelphia, Jefferson county, early in the century, probably among the very first permanent settlers of that town. They were from the vicinity of Philadelphia. Pa., where they had long been an important family, and where their descendants still maintain the ability demonstrated by their, ancestry. We give the biography of this entire family in Jefferson county, upon the next page. Miles and Seth, two of the sons of the original John Strickland, filled so important a position in the history of Jefferson county, that we single them out for special mention. We insert their biographical sketches in connection with the town of Wilna, because Mr. John E. Strickland, son of Seth and nephew of Miles, has for many years resided in the village of Carthage, a respected citizen and large property owner and tax-payer. «u»Seth Strickland,«/u» brother of the above, was born in Bucks county, Pa., in 1808, and accompanied his parents when they removed to the Black River country. The farm of his father was his home until he purchased a farm for himself, and entered upon his lifework. He married Miss Jane, daughter of Thomas Bones, another Pennsylvanian, a sister of William Bones, of the well-known iron firm of Budd & Bones, in active operation at Carthage in the forties. Mr. Strickland was a successful farmer, well known and universally respected. He died in 1873, leaving a comfortable fortune to be distributed among his children.
