John STRICKLAND, Jr. (1804 - 1879), son of David (1780 - 1873), married Lydia THOMPSON (1820 - 1892) in Bulloch County in 1844. John and Lydia are my ggg- grandparents. Their marriage license has Lydia shown as "Liddy THOMPSON of Bryan County." Family accounts also place her birth as Bryan County. On the county web site, Bryan County Pioneers lists the early settlers of that county and Lydia THOMPSON (b. c. 1812), daughter of Richard THOMPSON and Lucretia ROGERS, are among those shown. Are the two Lydia's the same person? Does anyone have information that would confirm the two are the same of different people? Or that would put Richard THOMPSON's daughter's birth closer to the 1820 date? Richard THOMPSON's and David STRICKLAND's families were apparently "neighbors" in Bryan County before the STRICKLAND's moved further south into Bulloch County. John and Lydia moved back to Bryan County for a short time before moving to Ware County (that portion that was later Pierce County).
