[Strickler.GED] From MennoSearch.com:
He was naturalized as a Mennonite in February 1728 at La ncaster Co. making his mark K on the petition. He apparently could not wri te in 1728. He received 350 acres in Hellam Township, York Co. on 30 Oct 173 6 which was disputed by Maryland. Part of his land was patented to his son Jaco b Strickler in Feb 1767. He sold part (196 acres) of his land with his wife Bar bara to his son John on 29 Jul 1765 for natural love and then later John sold t his land to his son Ulrich.[25] In the deed part of his land was in the posses sion of Jacob Strickler in 1765. Conrad probably arrived in Pennsylvania with h is brother Abraham in 1726. Conrad had sons John, Jacob and Conrad who all live d in Hellam Township and he is probably the father of Henry, Abraham and Ulrich Strickler who all moved to Rapho Township, Lancaster Co.. Conrad possibly h ad daughters as well. Conrad was living on the west side of the Susquehanna Riv er as early as 1732, when he, Nicholas Beery, Michael Tanner and others were ca ptured by the Maryland authorities and thrown into jail in Baltimore over a lan d dispute. They paid a fine and were released. (From Frank Duff):[RES]
When Did Conrad Strickler Arrive in America?
This question has been the source of much argument and speculation. There are many theories that have evolved. None have been proven. One suggested that Abraham and Conrad Strickler came to Ameri ca with the Brubaker family, arriving at New York Harbor 16 June 1710. However, when Richard W. Davis of Provo, Utah looked into the 16 June 1710 immigrants, he could find no Brubakers or Stricklers arriving at that time. H.M. Strickler suggested they arrived in America in or about 1700. This date is much to early for Abraham or Conrad to have arrived in America. Based on known data about Ab raham's birth, Abraham would have been 6 or 7 years old in 1700 and Conrad not more than 5 years old. Plus most German Mennonite Immigrations to America did n ot occur until after 1717. Another theory again includes the Brubaker family. On 27 September 1717, Johannes Bruppacher and Christian Hershey took up a warra nt of 1,000 acres on the Little Conestoga Creek in West Hempfield, PA. This lan d was near where Abraham and Conrad Strickler first appear in records. The Brub aker family has ties to Ibersheim and Friederichstadt, Germany and to the same locations in Switzerland as the Strickler family. This theory is based on the i dea that families who had moved together for so many years, also came to Americ a together. The conclusion here being the Stricklers arrived in America about 1 717 with the Bruppachers. Abraham Strickler and Conrad Strickler both took oat hs of Naturalization in March 1728 in Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania. It was often a few years before an oath of allegiance was taken. This indicates that Abraha m and Conrad Strickler, arrived as early as 1723 to 1724. Abraham and Conrad S trickler may have arrived in America about Oct 1724. They may have lived for se veral months with the Brubaker family. In 1725, the Strickler and Brubaker fami lies had all grown and room was limited, so Abraham and Conrad ventured out on their own. In 1728, they purchased land from John Daugherty. They each lived th ere with their brother Heinrich Strickler. Conrad then moved south to York Co. and Abraham further south into the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. From Stricklers of Pennsylvania:
The name of Conrad Strickler appears in the i ndictment of Henry Munday and Charles Higgenbothem in Chester Co. in 1736, a s one of the tenants whose possessions of land west of the Susquehanna were dis turbed by these men and others in the interests of Lord Baltimore, as recorded by I.Daniel Rupp in his History of Lancaster and York Counties. published in1 846.
