Michael Kelly STRICKLIN, son of Thomas Strickland and Elizabeth Shock<\/a>, was born 23 Dec 1842 in Boone Co. MO., the 13th of 14 children. He was a sibling of Millie Ann Strickland, of this blog’s direct line.<\/p>\n

He married (1) Mercy Jane Arnold about 1869, then married (2) Gormelia Elizabeth FAIRCHLD b. 1856 IA on Jan 1. 1874 in Alta, Harvey Co. KS. He was about 32 and she was about 18. That year they had Leonidas STRICKLIN. They appear to have been in Chautauqua Co. KS by the year 1879, when Thomas Elmer STRICKLAND, their 4rh child, was born (if not before then). <\/p>\n

My Great Grandfather Michael Stricklin bought Cherokee strip land, Chautauqua
\nCounty Kansas 1881 and lived there until his death 1917. Howard county was
\nsplit 1875 to form Chautauqua and Elk counties. My Handy Book for Genealogists said that Elk County Courthouse burned 1906 and all records were destroyed. <\/p>\n

Michael served with the Union during the Civil War, his wife filing for his pension in 1911 and 1918.<\/p>\n

STRICKLIN, MICHAEL K.
\nWidow: STRICKLIN, Gormelia G.
\nG 7 Kans Cav.
\nDate of filing 1911 May 3, class-invalid, application 422.023, certificate-314.795 State filed-KS
\nDate of filing:1918 July 16? class-widow, 1123.932 certificate-874.552 State filed-KS.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Michael and Gormelia had 11 children: Leonidas, Arthur K., James Oscar, Thomas Elmer, Eva May, Anna Elizabeth, William Herbert, Almon D., Michael Richard, Guy and Mary Ethil.<\/p>\n

Eva May, who married William Reed Alexander, gave herself as being proud of her Cherokee ancestry. So, there are rumors of Cherokee ancestry down this line, thought to have come down through the Stricklands, but we’ve found no proof of such yet.<\/p>\n

The following Stricklands are buried at the Elcado Cemetery in Chautauqua Co., KS:<\/p>\n
