Probably were more children. From Forerunners: A History or Genealogy of the Strickler Families Their Kith and Kin, by Harry M. Strickler (Harrisonburg, Virginia: 1925), p. 295 - 296:

From the account of Adam Strickler we learn that John Strickler, son of Abraham, the pioneer, "located land on the west side of the river between Newport and Grove Hill."

..I have located his patent which is in the toe of Pitt Spring Bend opposite Ingham Station and East Liberty Church. The patent was dated 1754, for 230 acres, and is found in BK. 32 at p. 361...

The Old Homestead.

Proceeding down the left bank of the river from Grove Hill bridge toward the old homestead of John Strickler we notice a rather steep bluff rising from the water's edge, and immediately below the bridge this bluff is very precipitate and rough and covered with trees. As we proceed down stream the bluff becomes less steep and is free of trees, and at a point nearly opposite Ingham station and East Liberty there is a wide depression in this bluff where the land slopes gently to the river. In this depression was the home of John Strickler. The higher ground to the north and west protected it from the north winds, and several hundred yards to the east flowed the Shenandoah, lined with a growth of magnificent trees. This is in what we might call the toe of the horse-shoe bend which I have called Pitt Spring Bend. The bed of the river at this point is rather rough, and the waters, passing over the boulders, sing a continual song. It is a very secluded and quiet spot, and the stillness of the place is only disturbed by the rippling waters that flow forever down the valley on it way to the sea. There are many beautiful spots along the river, but it seems to me that this is the most beautiful. The road follows the river, on the right bank, all the way from the Grove Hill bridge below this old homestead, and affords a wonderfully picturesque drive.

The old home was burned when Capt. David Strickler lived here, but I understand that the brick residence which stands there now is near the site of the old home.

The Old Burying Ground.

Just to the south of the brick house on the brow of the rising ground overlooking the river is the family burying ground. Here John Strickler and his son Martin and many members of their family were doubtlessly buried, altho their graves cannot now be located. The oldest stone is that of Capt. David, grandson of John. I am told, however, that Martin, son of John, was buried here. And it is reasonable to suppose that John was buried here also. Capt. Geo. Summers, who was executed (or rather murdered) by the Federal authorities below New Market after the war was over, is buried here also.
