Notes:

From Forerunners: A History or Genealogy of the Strickler Families Their Kith and Kin, by Harry M. Strickler (Harrisonburg, Virginia: 1925), p. 43 - 45:

  JOHN STRICKLER OF EGYPT
 
  I. Abraham  
    II. Jacob  
      III. JOHN STRICKLER (1762-1802) m. BARBARA BRUMBACK, dau of Henry and 1st wife Ann Kauffman of Spring farm.  
        1. Henry dy s about 1823.
2. Frances m Ephraim Salvage (2) Abram Miller.
3. Susan m Henry Shaver on fe 6 1812.
4. Elizabeth m John Stover (ac Miss Ball).
5. Ann m David Beaver (ac deed).
6. Barbara m James Rice (ac Ct R)
7. Mary m Abram Coffman (ac deed).

 

Miss Emily Ball says that one of John Strickler's children was Rebecca Miller Rice, But I find no record of John having a daughter Rebecca. He does have a daughter Barbara who was married to James Rice in 1812. Miss Ball states that Mrs. Rice lived at Point Pleasant, W. Va.

It is not known if John's widow had any children after second marriage. There was quite a large family of Coffmans living on Linville Creek, one of whom is at present an Admiral in the Navy. His name is De Witt Coffman, son of Dr. Samuel A. Coffman...

 

John Strickler's will was probated Sept. 13, 1802. (W. Bk. F. p. 30). Daniel Strickler and David Beaver witnesses, John Broombaugh, executor, Henry Broombaugh and Christian Forral (Farrer) sureties. He only mentions his half brothers, Daniel and Issac. From this will we learn that Egypt was in the Parish of Beckford.

In a deed dated Sept. 6, 1806 (D.B.-P. p. 263) all the children of John are mentioned, viz: Ann, wife of David Beaver, Mary, wife of Abram Coffman, Elizabeth, Barbara, Susannah, Fanny and Henry.

Here are some of the articles found in the inventory of the estate of John Strickler, dec'd. filed by John Roads, Martin Kaufman and Strickler (in German) [Possibly John Roads, the grandson of the John Roads who was killed by the indians, and Martin Kaufmann, Jr. though more likely his son, Martin Coffman].

A list of books: Dictionary, Younyman's Companion, 2 Psalters, 4 Testaments, 1 Bible and Hymn book, Ready Reckner, Hymn book, medicine book, sermon book, history book, moral book, hymn book, confession of faith, everlasting Gospel and other small books, Hennings Justice.

The above Confession of Faith was likely the Augsburg Confession drawn by Luther and adopted at Augsburg in 1530, modified and adopted by the Reformed Church. It seems that the chief difference between the Lutheran and Reformed Churches is to be found in some of the articles of the original and modifed form of the Confession of Faith.

I found the head stone at the grave of John Strickler in Egypt under three lone cedar trees... It is the only remaing stone.
