John Strickland - Disputed Origins & Family

Thank you
*sigh

And just to be sure:

*Burke, John (1836). A genealogical and heraldic history of the commoners of Great Britain and Ireland enjoying territorial possessions or high official rank: but uninvested with heritable honours. 1. Colburn. p. 58 [https://archive.org/details/heraldichistory01burk/page/58/mode/1up Archive.Org] no son “John” listed of Thomas Strickland and Margaret Curwen.

Disconnected as child of Sir Thomas Strickland, KB, MP & Margaret Strickland

Still cleaning up children.

The only known children of John Strickland are:

Elizabeth who married Jonas Wood "Oram"
Daughter who married John Lum - mentioned in will
Daughter who married John Smith "Blue" of Hempstead - mentioned in will
Daughter who married 1) Timothy Wood, 2) Samuel Matthews - mentioned in will

Disconnecting as children of John Strickland and his wife, who was not Jane Fenwick :

Edmund Strickland

Elizabeth Seaman

Martha Hartkopf

Thwaite Strickland

Also not known children Samuel Strickland & Sarah Strickland

The Platts are messed up also.

Jonas Platt & Sarah Platt. “ Jonas Platt was born 10 Aug 1667, married Sarah and had four sons, Obadiah, Timothy, Jesse, and Isaac.”

Detaching impossible child:

Phebe Vail

And extra wives: Phebe Platt (children attached, need review) & Mary

Charles Platt's 1963 work, "Platt genealogy in America, from the arrival of Richard Platt in New Haven, Connecticut, in 1638", on pages 28-29, questions the assertion of The Hon. Henry Clay Platt (in his 1876 centennial address at Huntington, NY) that Isaac's on Jonas had four sons, pointing out that HC Platt cited no authority and that Alrick Man, author of the unpublished "Descendants of Richard Platt" and a great grandson of Nathaniel Platt, one of the founders of Plattsburgh NY, called inconclusive.

Indeed, we can learn about Jonas Platt from the Will of his father, Isaac Platt, who died on July 31, 1691. Isaac's Will was probated on 22 October at Brookhaven, Suffolk County, Long Island, New York ( William S. Pelletreau, Early Long Island Wills of Suffolk County, 1691-1703 (1897), 51). In that Will, Isaac makes provision for the division of the residue of his estate as follows:
"Item—All the rest of my goods & chattels with ye valuation of buildings I give & bequeath amongst five of my children Jonas John Joseph Jacob & Mary to be equally divided amongst them after all my necessary charge is defrayed but if my son Jonas chance to die without lawful issue then his lands & meadows to be divided equally amongst the other three brothers".
From this residuary provision, we can infer that Jonas did not (yet) have any children, at least as of the date of his father' Will, i.e., May 22, 1691--when Jonas would have been 24 years old.

Manwaring: Probate record of Thwaite Strickland p 78 in original record. Inventory taken 21 June, 1670. Children: Elizabeth Andrews, age 23 years, John 21, Joseph 15, Jonathan 13, Ephraim 7 years. -- Manwaring, 1902

Thwaite Strickland However shows on geni with extra children, now detached. Can anyone find their correct families?

Jane Strickland

Rebecca Couch

Peter Strickland

Ah - they look to be children of Edmund Strickland and his wife Hannah.

I have a paper trail to Thwaite, but the man - or men? - is confusing. He clearly was there at the start of Dedham, Mass, 1635, but there is a record of him arriving in Mass in 1640. What's going on? https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?_phsrc=Zbh17&_phsta...
