Biography

He was born before 1671 and his parents were Elizabeth and Matthew Strickland (Sr.). His mother's maiden surname is disputed at this time.

By 1697 Mathew Strickland (Jr.) had married Ann Braswell (b: 1674, daughter of Sarah and Richard Braswell) ^[1] Some attribute her as Sarah Valentine Sampson as it is noted that onomastically, having a child named Sampson might have originated from this maiden family name, as is often the case. They resided in Isle of Wight County, Virginia and their children included ...

1. Jacob Strickland, b: c1697

8. Jane Strickland, b: c1716
9. John Strickland, b: c1719

On 06 Jun 1687 Matthew Strickland gave a power of attorney to John Brown to execute a deed to William Evans "by reason of my nonability to travel to court held for this county the 9th if this instant June". This power of attorney was witnessed by Richard (RB) Booth and Elizabeth (S) Strickland.

On 6 Jun 1687 Matthew (X) and Elizabeth (E) Strickland of the Lower Parish deeded to William Evans of the Upper Parish for 4,000 pounds of tobacco in cask, 800 acres in the Lower Parish between the main Swamp of King Sal and Beaver Dam Branch adjoining William Collins (from a tract of 902 acres patented by the said Strickland on 26 Sep 1678, of which (some) acres had been leased to Thomas Jones for 99 years on 06 Nov 1682. Witnessed by John Brown, Richard (RB) Booth and Robert (R) Lawrence. ^[2]

Mathew STRICKLAND, Jr., sells Henry BAKER, merchant, for 2000 lbs. tbco. 100 acres on Beaver Dam Swamp. 12 May 1696. Anthony HOLLODAY, Chas. CHAPMAN. [This is the Matthew STRICKLAND who married Ann BRASWELL.

He inherited all his father's land and in August 1699 the land was divided among his brothers William, John, Joseph and Samuel.

On 14 Jul 1730 he made his last Will and it was proved on 25 Oct 1730 in Isle of Wight County, Virginia. ^{[3] [4]} leaving his wife Ann with 3 children aged 7, 11, 14. The other seven children had become adults by 1730.

His widow Ann died about 1744 in Virginia.

Estate of Matthew Strickland, Sr.

To all persons whom these present shall come, Matt Strickland and William Strickland, sons of Matthew Strickland, late deceased, have made, concluded and agreed for a division between them and either of them, and their heirs forever. Decided and bounded as followeth, I, the said Matthew Strickland, doth give and make over my whole right and title for me and my heirs unto him and his heirs forever, a piece of land whereon my father lived at beginning of the Horse Swamp, SXS running up the Horse Swamp to the Gum Branch, thence running up the said Branch to Col. Pitts line, SXS running the line unto the Plantation whereon the said Matt Strickland deceased dwelt, now all the land above the forementioned, branch joining unto --- Plantation and also all the land that lieth on the South side of the Horse Swamp."

Now I, the said Matthew Strickland, doth give one hundred and fifty acres of land at the Old Plantation unto my brother John Strickland and his heirs forever and never to go out of the name of ye Stricklands."

This appears to be a disclaimer to the English "Primogenture" law which was passed in 1631. This law established that the eldest son should inherit any title and land of the father, and if the eldest died without issue, then the land and title would go the next eldest son, etc. Here, Matthew Jr. clearly and generous disclaims his right to the entire land holdings of his father and chose to share with his brothers.

Also, ye said Matthew Strickland, doth give one hundred and fifty acres of land unto my brother Sam Strickland and his heirs forever and never to go out of the name of ye Stricklands, lying at the head of Watery Branch, joining upon Arthur Whitehead; Next, all the land above the forementioned branch and only the south side of the Horse Swamp, the said Matt Strickland doth given unto my brother, William Strickland, and his heirs."

And the said Matt Strickland doth give unto my brother Joseph Strickland, one hundred and fifty acres of land lying upon the Blackwater between my plantation and the line of M. Woodwards being on the" ... most of the rest is illegible, but it seems to speak about "defrauding" and if defrauded, "shall forfit his own part according to these articles to him or them that shall be defrauded" then something about the 150 acres to John Strickland, and then "of a piece of land joining upon the Black Pond at the head of the Horse Swamp, bargained, and sold from me, Will Strirckland unto Arthur Whitehead."
