Notes:

The year of his birth does not match with the marriage year of his assumed mother.

From Forerunners: A History or Genealogy of the Strickler Families Their Kith and Kin, by Harry M. Strickler (Harrisonburg, Virginia: 1925), p. 259:

Abraham Strickler of White House

...Abraham Strickler, known as Abraham, Sr., lived on the hill at the south end of the bridge and opposite the White House. His home still stands, as well as the White House where his son Henry lived. Abraham, Sr. and other members of his family are buried near the old home on the hill. After the death of Abraham, Sr. his son Abraham, Jr. lived here and he gave the White House across the river to his son Henry. The land opposite the White House is a part of the 1000 acre tract first occupied by Abraham Strickler and was part of his Egypt Plantation. Fairfax conveyed it to Benjamin Strickler, son of Abraham, the pioneer, as his portion of his father's estate in 1756. Benjamin conveyed it to Abraham Strickler, whose widow and eldest son and heir in law, sold it to Abraham Strickler, son of Joseph in 1794.

 

 

This appears to be the White House built by Martin Kauffman, Jr.
