CULBERSON, MESSER, STRICKLAND, WARREN posted by Herb Griffin on Thursday, December 24, 1998
Seeking information on the families of Eli and Wiley STRICKLAND who moved to Henry Co. from Jasper Co., Ga during the 1820--30's. They later moved to Alabama. Eli's daughter, Lydia, married William WARREN circa 1840. Some of their descendants moved to Cullman Co., AL. Also am interested in James Jackson CULBERSON who married Phoebe MESSER in Henry Co. in 1840. This family later moved to Chambers Co., AL and finally to Coosa Co., AL. I have extensive information on these families and will be happy to share.
