Henry Solomon STRICKLAND
This Henry is considered one of Tattnall County's most extraordinary and outstanding men. He was a large plantation owner, a Unionist, a slave-owning planter, politician (i.e., State Senator and Convention Delegate,a Judge,and Statesmanby every meaning of the word. Henry achieved and contributed much during his lifetime, and he left a large contingency of prominent descendants that are stillin present day Tattnall Co., GA. He was known by most of the old time Tattnall, Bulloch, Bryan, Ware, and Wayne county Strickland relatives as their "rich and influential" "uncle" from Tattnall County,GA. In actuality, he was an older 1st and 2nd cousin to most of them.
In the early 1800s, Henry came as an infant with his widowed mother, from the Turkey Creek area, Creek Indian Land area of (now in Laurens Co., GA) Georgia,to live with Strickland relatives who settled in homesites between the Mushroom Creek and Watermelon Creek area of TattnallCo.,Ga. Speculation is that his father died soon after arriving in Georgia andin the Turkey Creek area of Creek Indian Lands, i.e., a location that is now in NE Laurens Co., Ga. Recorded as being raised in the Ohoopee River area of Tattnall Co., Ga.,and on lands that were evidently gifted to his family from his Strickland relatives. Henry became a very prosperous, distinguished, and influential plantation owner, politician, and leading citizen of Tattnall Co., Ga.
Henry built and developed a large plantation along the Ohoopee River, TattnallCo., Ga. He owned 5,000 acres of farm and timber land, forty-six slaves, and accumulated considerable personal property. On 1 January 1818, he was listed as a Petit Juror in Tattnall Co., Ga.
On 1 July 1819, he was certified eligible for two (2) land grant draws based on wife and one (1)child Allen. He is listed in the U.S. 1820 Census, Tattnall Co., Ga., pg. 116. On 1 August 1820, he was recorded in the U.S. 1820 Tattnall Co., GA. Census as Head of Family. He is listed in U.S. 1830 Census, Tattnall Co., Ga. as Head of Family, pg. 372.
Henry established himself on Ohoopee River, just up River from where it joins Altamaha (overlooking the present day GA. State Prison, SW of Reidsville).
Secured from StateLand Grants in Tattnall Co., GA., as follows: 1838 Grant Book T-5, Pg. 50-53, 4,000-acres; 1848 Grant Book W-5, pg.310, 100-acres. Note:It is of interest that the law covering Land Grants stated 200 acres for the Grantee and 50 acres for each wife, child & slave, with a maximum of 1,000 acres. Henry and his 1st wife had 11-children by 1838, plus a large number of slaves.
Served as a Ga. State Senator 1840-1842, a Tattnall Co., GA. Justice of the Inferior Court 1850-1853, a Tattnall Co., GA. Ordinary of the Court,1856-1860, and a Tattnall Co., GA delegate to the State Convention of 1850, and to the Georgia Secession Convention of January 1861.
James Allen STANFIELD
James Allen was an active member of the Watermelon Creek Baptist Church, located near Glennville, Georgia. His birth and death dates were found in the IGI and in Ancestral File #AFN:3GSM-51. This file also listed another wife: Mahala Padgett Anderson, AFN:C7P3-SK & AFN: 1MQ9-P84. Another source of birth and death dates were given in notes on the Stanfield Family History by Julie Fielding, daughter of Embree and Helen LaVerne (Stanfield) fielding - LaVerne is the daughter of Scarborough Washington Stanfield and Jennie Allen Phelps. This information was also confirmed through "Stanfield and Related Families 1792-1933" compiled by Estelle Durrence Swain. James Allen, nicknamed "Jima", was born in the Abbeville District of South Carolina in 1831. This information would approximate the time frame of migration from South Carolina to Tattnall County for parents John and Rebecca, since second born son, William W. is reported to have been born in Glennville, Tattnall County five years later in 1836. Jima married Miriam Priscilla Strickland, daughter of Allen Strickland and Nancy Caroline Kennedy, in 1852, Tattnall County, when he was 21 years of age. Jima and Miriam were appointed guardian of Allen Strickland's two younger sons, J. Jasper Strickland, and Allen Robert Strickland. They were Miriam's youngest brothers, and their father had died in 1847, the year Allen Robert had been born. Her grandfather, the Honorable Henry S. Strickland, Ordinary for Tattnall Co., signed the legal document on April 4, 1859. This was 12 years after the death of Miriam, Jasper, and Allen Robert's father. Their mother, Nancy Caroline Kennedy married again in 1851 to a John Booth. This was just one year before daughter Miriam left the household to marry our Jima. Since we do not know for sure when mother Nancy Caroline died, we could assume that her death was around 1859. Perhaps this is what prompted the children's paternal grandfather, Henry S. Strickland, to appoint his granddaughter, Miriam Priscilla Strickland and her husband James Allen "Jima" Stanfield, guardians of her two young brothers. Miriam died on November 2, 1902 and is buried at Watermelon Creek Cemetery, Tattnall County, Georgia. James Allen "Jima" later married Mahala Padgett Anderson. She was the daughter of Hopkin Padgett (1812-1893) and mary Ann Dubberly. Mahala married (1) Thomas P. Anderson. After his death, she married "Jima". James Allen died on April 21, 1923. The Watermelon Creek Church Centennial Book - June 1839-1939 - listed Jima Stanfield as Clerk of Church from 1853 - 1858.
