Henry Strickland (1794-1866)
Henry Strickland was born in 1794 in Georgia. He married Sarah Lanier November 6, 1820 in Effingham County, GA. He moved his family to Lowndes County about 1831 and settled in Captain Caswell’s District. The 1834 Lowndes County tax digest shows he owned 930 acres in Lowndes County, 400 acres in Effingham County, 490 acres in Appling, 490 acres in Thomas County, 250 acres in Baker county, 2027 acres in Lee County, and 2027 acres in Meriwether County. Henry Strickland was Justice of Lowndes Inferior Court from 1833 to 1837 and again from 1857 to 1859; December 23, 1835 appointed commissioner to select the site of the Lowndes County courthouse and jail; Major of the 138th Battalion, Georgia Militia, 1836 to 1838 – participated in actions at the Little River; December 22, 1837, appointed to the board of trustees for the proposed Lowndes County Academy at Troupville; Primitive Baptist; affiliated with Friendship Church along with wife, Sarah, soon after moving to Lowndes County; membership received by letter in March, 1846 at Old Antioch Church, now in Echols county, elected church clerk; died 1866.

are all the other wives connected to him proven to be his wives? Seems like the article at the link above would have mentioned if he had other marriage.

Noticing that the link above mentions the Henry Strickland who married Sarah Lanier was born 1794 in Georgia, it seems it's likely two men have gotten mixed together here on Geni.

I did some Googling and it seems that Henry Solomon Strickland who was married to Sarah Lanier was the son of John Strickland and Appa Martin, which is what my DNA couin has in his tree:

JOHN1 STRICKLAND, JR.1 was born Abt. 1749 in Old Edgecombe County, North Carolina2, and died Abt. 1838 in Turkey Creek, Tattnall County, Georgia.He married APPA UNKNOWN3 Bet. 1768 - 1770 in Bladen County, North Carolina.

Children of JOHN STRICKLAND and APPA UNKNOWN are:
i. JOHN2 STRICKLAND III4, b. Abt. 1770, Old Bladen County, North Carolina; d. March 1801, Halifax County, North Carolina; m. MARY TAYLOR4, Abt. 1793, North Carolina, South Carolina?.
ii. JEFFERSON RUEBEN STRICKLAND4, b. Bet. 1771 - 1774, Old Bladen County, North Carolina; d. May 09, 1859, Bainbridge, Decatur County, Georgia; m. (1) HARRIET WILSON4, Abt. 1792, Wake County, North Carolina; m. (2) CLARA (CLOEY) FAIN4, 1826, Tattnall County, Georgia.
2. iii. RICHARD STRICKLAND, b. Abt. 1775, Old Bladen County, North Carolina; d. Bet. 1834 - 1840, Wayne County, Georgia.
3. iv. DAVID JONATHAN STRICKLAND, b. Abt. 1780, South Carolina; d. March 14, 1873, Ware County, Georgia.
v. ELIZABETH STRICKLAND4, b. Abt. 1788, Old Bladen County, North Carolina; d. Abt. 1828, Bryan County, Georgia; m. THOMAS HENRY ALBRITTON, SR.4, Abt. 1802, Bulloch County, Georgia.
4. vi. HENRY SOLOMON STRICKLAND, b. Abt. 1794, Georgia; d. Abt. 1866, Lowndes County, Georgia.

So this John Campbell Strickland and wife Appa Martin would be the correct parents for this Henry Solomon Strickland, which would also resolve some of the issues reported in 2020 about the age difference of him and the other wives connected to him. They aren't his wives. Only Sarah Lanier was his wife.

Additionally, correcting these connections would likely resolve the conflicting Y-DNA haplogroups attached since only one can be correct.

This site lists the children of Henry Solomon Strickland and Sarah Lanier:

HENRY SOLOMON8 STRICKLAND, JUDGE (JOHN7, JOHN6, WILLIAM5, WILLIAM4, MATTHEW3, JACOB OR JAMES2, ???1) was born Abt. 1794 in Barnwell Dist., SC, and died Abt. 1866 in Lowndes Co., GA. He married SARAH LANIER 23 Nov 1820 in Effingham Co., GA., daughter of LEWIS LANIER and ANNE BUTLER. She was born Abt. 1800 in Screven Co., GA, and died Abt. 1866 in Lowndes Co., GA.

That last link above does indicate he was born in SC, whereas all other links show he was born in Georgia.
