From Forerunners: A History or Genealogy of the Strickler Families Their Kith and Kin, by Harry M. Strickler (Harrisonburg, Virginia: 1925), pp. 114-116: |
David Strickler's land is located in Horseshoe Bend and adjoined his brother Joseph's land. David's home was located on the public road near the Creek at the left heel of the horse-shoe, and was of brick. It burned down some years ago. David had a mill near by, probably on the same spot where Snapp's mill is now located (1917). David's eldest brother John of Egypt inherited all the land owned by their father Jacob, but John agreed to divide with his brothers, and we find John conveying land to each of his brothers as they became twenty-one years of age. In 1786 he conveys 253 acres to Samuel; 215 acres to Joseph in 1787; 223 acres to David in 1794. These three tracts adjoined and lay on both sides of Smith Creek, about a mile east of New Market. Joseph and his wife, and David, are buried in Horseshoe Bend, near the former's home which still stands. The head-stones are still there. I think that David was accidently killed by the falling of a horse... Under a clump of trees just to the south of the Joseph Strickler home in Horseshoe Bend is the grave of David Strickler. Here are buried also Joseph and his wife. The stones were there in 1914. The spot should be marked, for soon no one will know where they were buried. Christian Strickler, officer in the war of 1812, is buried here also. But I found no stone for him. No fence surrounds the old burying ground. The spot is unprotected except for the trees that stand guard day and night and thru all kinds of weather... According to Adam Strickler's Bible record David's full name was Harvey David Strickler. Division deed among the heirs of David Strickler mentions all his children -- saw mill and chop mill mentioned.
