Notes:

From Forerunners: A History or Genealogy of the Strickler Families Their Kith and Kin, by Harry M. Strickler (Harrisonburg, Virginia: 1925), p. 325:

John Strickler married Nancy Kauffman, grandaughter of Martin Kauffman, the Baptist minister mentioned in Sempler's History of Virginia Baptists, and a half sister of Hom. Martin R. Kauffman of Frederick County, member of the the Virginia Legislature during the Civil War. She lived to a ripe old age, and was the mother of twelve children. They lived for a while after their marriage at the Martin Shirley home, later in a small house in the yard at Locust Grove, and when his father died he occupied the mansion house where he spent the remainder of his life. He was buried on the old homestead at the spot where his father Isaac is buried. His grave is carefully marked with a vault about two feet high, overlaid with a marble slab, and I have been told that this vault was erected by the friends of John Strickler. An iron fence surrounds it.

John Wesley Strickler, son of John of Locust Grove, never married, was a soldier in the Mexican War, dug gold and practiced law in California. He was a very handsome man, I have been told. He returned to Luray in his old age and died there.

David Coffman's home on the Hawksbill was owned by Harrison Long about 1890. David Coffman had the following children: Nancy m. John Strickler, Sarah m. Harrison Wood, Maria m. Kite, George whos widow lived in Massanutten had a son John, Hon. Martin R. Kauffman, and Eliza m. Harrison Ruffner.
