It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like...STRICKLETT!!!

Part of the reason I am doing this blog is to update people as to what part of the family I am working on, since I am hand keying everything and it is going soooooooooo slow.

For the past week and a half, I have been working on my Stricklett line.  Before I started researching my family tree, I had never heard of the name Stricklett.

You might ask yourself where the Stricklett's enter into my family tree.  And I am about to tell you...

My 4th great grandfather is William Isaac Ginn.  He married Sarah Jane Thoroughman on 13 January 1800, in Mason County, Kentucky (Lewis County used to be a part of Mason County).

One of their daughters, Elizabeth Ann Ginn (b. 1814, Lewis County, KY...d.unknown) married Peter M. Stricklett in 1831.  Elizabeth Ann Ginn is my third great grand aunt.

The children of Elizabeth Ann Ginn and Peter M. Stricklett are listed as follows:

James Peter Stricklett (1832-1906) (I am entering information for this branch now)

Lewis Stricklett 1834 – 1855
William Ginn Stricklett1836 – 1922
John B Stricklett1840 – 1914
Sarah Stricklett1842 – 1913
Isaac M Stricklett 
Louisiana (Lucy Ann) Stricklett1847 – 1888
Lindsey Boyd Stricklett1848 – 1928
Rebecca R Stricklett1849 – 
Thomas W Stricklett1855 – 1901
As you can see, I have a LOT left to do with the Strickletts.  
James Peter Stricklett married Catherine Carter on 6 July 1854, in Lewis County, Kentucky.  By 1880, or at least the time of the 1880 census, they and their children had moved to Blair, Washington, Nebraska, USA.  James Peter and Catherine remained in Blair for the rest of their lives.  Many of them are buried in Blair Cemetery.  I will try to update on piece of the Stricklett line as I go along, in case there are others researching the Strickletts that want to exchange information or offer suggestions for corrections.
