Daniel Strickler was a witness along with David Beaver to John Strickler's will (probated Sept. 13, 1802)

From Forerunners: A History or Genealogy of the Strickler Families Their Kith and Kin, by Harry M. Strickler (Harrisonburg, Virginia: 1925), pp. 189-190:

Col. Daniel Strickler of "Stone House"

...Col. Daniel Strickler died in 1845, leaving a will which mentions the following children: Mary Solomon, Nancy Stover, Sally Huffman, dec'd; Phoebe Shanks, John B. Harrison, Isaac, and Hiram. He makes Harrison executor. He mentions Philo Shank and Daniel Huffman, presumably grandchildren. He gives each child 325 acres and $2,000 in cash, and his widow is bountifully supplied. I have not seen this will, but the substance of it was given to me.

...According to marriage records in Shenandoah County, Ann Strickler married Joseph Stover in 1813, Sarah Strickler married David Huffman about 1820, and Pheobe Strickler married Abraham Shenk in 1827. These were no doubt the daughters of Col. Daniel.

Adam Strickler in his account says: "He (John Strickler eldest brother of Col. Daniel) also helped his half brother Daniel to a good on the river at Newport now (1885) owned by some of the Koontz family. Daniel traded it to Abraham Heiston for the stone house property near Bixler's Ferry and died near there." In 1787, Abraham Heiston married Magdalene Strickler. This was either the daughter or the widow of Jacob Strickler and therefore the mother or sister of Col. Daniel. In some of the older deeds, Col. Daniel is referred to as "Stone House Daniel" to distinguish him, no doubt, from other Daniel Stricklers.

Phoebe was probably the daughter of Col. Daniel's sister, Magdalene who died a young woman leaving an infant which Col. Daniel raised.

Col. Daniel was an officer in the War of 1812. He was a justice of the Shenandoah County Court for a long time, twenty-five years or more probably, for I recall seeing that he took acknowledgements to deeds as early as 1818, and he was the presiding justice in 1842 when he sentenced the Bell negroes to be hanged in Page County. He was a man of influence in his County in his day, being a jurist, soldier, patriot, and large land owner. He was in the State Legislature several terms.

His stone house is in a good state of preservation and occupied by his grandson, McKendra Strickler. The house is a beautiful old mansion, strongly built, probably as a protection against the Indians, but it has no fort cellar. His son Harrison, an honored citizen of Page County, lived here during his life, and hence it has been in continuous possession of Col. Daniel's decendants until the present day.

Col. Daniel married again, after the death of his first wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Painter, 1802-1863, widow of Jacob Painter, 1800-1829. No children were born to them. Mrs. Painter had two children by her first marriage:

1. Cornelius Painter, 1827-1862.

2. Reuben Painter, 1821-1906-2ch.
