General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Strickler


The Strickler family of Franklin County, Pennsylvania, is of German-Swiss descent, and is of the same stock as the Stricklers of Hellam township, York County. The records of Lancaster and York counties show that the Stricklers were there between 1730 and 1740. The record of original land grants made by the proprietaries of the Province of Pennsylvania shows grants to Andrew Strickler Nov. 18, 1736, and Jan. 16, 1737; to Henry Strickler July 1, 1741, and in succeeding years additional grants to these same parties, and to other Stricklers. The name of Conrad Strickler appears in the indictment of Henry Munday and Charles Higginbotham in Chester County in 1736, as one of the tenants whose possessions of land west of the Susquehanna were disturbed by these men and others in the interests of Lord Baltimore, as recorded by I. Daniel Rupp in his "History of Lancaster and York Counties," published in 1846. All the Land Grant and Court records found indicate that they settled near the Susquehanna River, some in Lancaster County and others in what is now York County, those on the west side of the river settling largely in the Kreutz Creek Valley, in the vicinity of Wrightsville.
