Hi William, I ended up here today trying to trace farther back on the Strickland line of a DNA match I have on My Heritage. His tree only goes back to James M. Strickland and wife Missouri Laurisa Strickland (born Poppell). When I got as far back using Hints on Ancestry, there isn't any real documentation or consensus showing for the parentage of this John Strickland.

So I Googled hoping to find some definitive answers and this was really all I found:
1. JOHN9 STRICKLAND (WILLIAM8, AARON7, AARON6, WILLIAM5, WILLIAM4, MATTHEW3, JACOB OR JAMES2, ???1) was born Abt. 1802 in Barnwell Co., SC, and died in date and place unknown. He married ELIZABETH (ELIZA) CHESTER 1 Jan 1814 in Tattnall Co., GA, daughter of ABEL CHESTER and ???. She was born Abt. 1802 in Barnwell Co., SC, and died in date and place unknown.
Children of JOHN STRICKLAND and ELIZABETH CHESTER are:
i. UNNAMED MALE10 STRICKLAND, b. Abt. 1815, Tattnall Co., GA?.
ii. UNNAMED FEMALE1 STRICKLAND, b. Abt. 1816, Tattnall Co., GA?.
iii. UNNAMED FEMALE2 STRICKLAND, b. Abt. 1818, Tattnall Co., GA?.

which lists this John's father as William Strickland
2. this site also listing John's father as William:
WILLIAM8 STRICKLAND (AARON7, AARON6, WILLIAM5, WILLIAM4, MATHEW3, JACOB2, THOMAS1) was born Abt. 1784 in ,Robeson Co,NC, and died WFT Est. 1809-1875 in ,Clinch Co,GA.He married ANNA ? Abt. 1800 in ,Barnwell Co, SC.She was born Unknown, and died Unknown in Clinch County, Georgia.
Children of WILLIAM STRICKLAND and ANNA ? are:
i. JR. WILLIAM9 STRICKLAND, b. Abt. 1801, ,Barnwell Co, SC; d. WFT Est. 1802-1891, ,Effington Co,GA.

I tried connecting my DNA cousin match on the Strickland lines using the lineage back to Rebeuen Jefferson (varies how that's listed) and it makes the connection too distant to fit with the DNA match. I haven't yet tried to connect him via this William's lineage to see if that works. I'll have to work on that and get back to this discussion if that fits with the DNA match.
That said, this site:
https://sites.rootsweb.com/~strickland/Documents/Lineage/Johns/John...
indicates that this John's lineage is unproven and having him as the John who was married to Appa, which I believe is an error because, again, it makes the lineage too far back for my DNA match on this branch of the Strickland lines:
Unproven Lineages
Bladen County, North Carolina:
Was a John Strickland born about 1749 in Bladen County, the son of John Strickland of Halifax or Northampton County?
Was this John married twice ? First to Appa (Unknown) and then to Eliza Chester on 1 Jan 1814 in Tattnall Co.,GA
I'd definitely like to get this branch sorted and correctly connected, but I'm not at all familiar with other branches like I am with my own direct branch, so I'm just trying to figure out the DNA match 'supposedly' from this branch.
Any further assistance appreciated.
