     "John Strickland of Long Island and his sons-in-law," by Herbert F. Smith. In The American Genealogist, v. 11, pp. 81-87, 206-208:
     p. 82-83: ... the original, verbatim ... "The Testamt. of Mr. Jno. Sticklin Septimber th: 5: 1672. The Last will of Mr. John Stiklin as followeth.
Being in great payn yet through gods mercy perfict in Sencis doe now Comit my body to the ground and my Soule to god that gaue it and for my esteat I doe dispos of it as followeth that out of my esteat first all dews & debt bee fully satisfied and for the Remainer:

I doe make chouce of my Sonn John Smith, my Sonn Samuell Matthews, John foster & Beniemin Coe as my executers and that this is my Last will & testiment I doe own by subscribing my hand the day and date above written. Jo[?...] S[?...] [footnote: The J is well written; the rest, after making a couple of small loops, straightens and becomes indefineable]
It is to be understood that thos two Cows mentioned to John Loums daughter & to Jonathan Mills ware my wives and shee gave them as shee saw good and I promising her to performe her will have acordingly disposed of them. Attested by John ffoster, Benjamin Coe"
     The substance of the original will is that Mr. John "Sticklin," then a resident of Jamaica, New York, on September 5, 1672, caused his will to be made; and the disposal of his estate was either directly made to the following or to their heirs:
     Another heir of the estate was Henry Howard, according to a short account at the end of the official copy. The foregoing are the sole heirs mentioned in the will.

     ... In the History of Charlestown, Mass. (1845), by Richard Frothingham, Jr., it is stated on page 20 that the inhabitants who first settled that place in 1628-9 and who were brought into the denomination of an English town, included among others John Stickline.
     Simon Hoyte and John Stickline were admitted freemen in 1631 (ibid, p. 23). According to the NEHGR, III, p. 90, "Seargent Strickland" took oath to become a freeman at a General Court held in Boston, May 18, 1631. It seems to be assumed that Sergeant Strickland and John Stickline were one and the same person. In Bond's Early History of Watertown, vol. II, page 113, in an article on the descendants of John and Elinor Whitney of Watertown, Mass., it is stated that Whitney purchased a sixteen acre homestall, which had been granted to John Strickland, who was dismissed from the Watertown church, May 29, 1635; it goes on further to say that Strickland was one of that colony from Watertown that removed to colonize Wethersfield.
     From this it may be inferred that John Strickland left Watertown in 1635 to aid in the founding of the new settlement on the Connecticut River; the dismission of "Jo: Strickland" with others from Watertown is referred to in the first recorded meeting of magistrates of the new colony on April 26, 1636, with the statement that Stickland and the others had carried out their commission "to forme a newe in a Ch: Convennte. in the River of Conectecott" .
     He was next mentioned at a Court held Nov. 1, 1636: It is ordered yt. Srieant Stickland is to haue for 7 days seruice to the Rivers mouth, aboute Cattle of Mr. Michell & the lo: or their Agents, 21 s. The rest yt went in the same seruice 14 s. a peece ...
     This was in the troublesome days preceding the declaration of war against the Pequots, which occurred May 1, 1637, and it appears from the above record that Sergeant Stickland led a small military company to aid Mr. Matthew Mitchell and others who had been annoyed by the depredations of the Indians at Saybrook.
     He had a homelot in Wethersfield, Conn., which had on it a house and barn when he sold it on March 28, 1640 . This was probably the approximate date of his removal to Fairfield, where the first settlement had been made in 1639.
     "John Sticklin" was one of the fourteen Deputies who attended a General Court of the colony on Sept. 9, 1641 . The places served by each deputy were not specified in the early records, but four of these deputies can be identified with Hartford, four with Windsor, and four with Wethersfield. The last two named in the record were Jehu Burr (misprinted as John Burr) and John Sticklin. Burr was an early settler in Fairfield, and we may conclude that these two men represented that town, although we do not find Fairfield represented again until April 1643, when Henry Gray was the sold deputy .
     A reason for the sending of deputies to the September 1641 session of the General Court lied in the dispute between Stratford and Fairfield regarding their mutual bounds, and it is significant that the deputies at this very session appointed a committee "to settle the bounds betwixt Paquanucke and Vncoway ."
     The will of William Frost of Fairfield, made Jan. 6, 1644/5, refers to land which he bought for his son Abraham from "John Sticklin" .
     We have seemingly traced John Sticklin or Strickland from Watertown in 1635 to Wethersfield, thence by 1640 to Fairfield, whence he removed before 1645. His identity is proved by the fact that in 1659, being then of Huntington, L.I., he testified that he formerly lived at Uncoway now called Fairfield and was deputed with others to treat with Stratford men about town bounds .
     The record of John Strickland or Sticline begins on Long Island apparently in 1644 when he was a Patentee of Hempstead, New York, with others. He appears in Hempstead for about fourteen years until 1659. In the first volume of the printed town records of that place the name appears predominantly as Stickline or Strickline. On December 27, 1658, he is still recorded as Mr. Strickline. If anything, this spelling seems more frequent by far than the other variants and has led the present writer to conclude that possibly the name was Stickline or Stickland, rather than Strickland. [Because all printed compilations refer to him as John Strickland, in order to collate the present article with such he has been so called. There are Sticklines and Sticklands in England; the latter appearing frequently in Dorset and Surrey. The assumption that he was descended from the well-known Strickland of Westmoreland in England does not find any support in all material examined by the present writer]. He held forty-one acres of land there in 1657 and is listed in the same year as having six cows and "one man." Only Mr. Hicks exceeded this rating upon the Hempstead lists. He is mentioned in a record in Southampton, N.Y., in 1650 as "Mr. Sticklin" in calling Johnas Wood his son-in-law ...
     He signed, as a witness, the articles of agreement between the Governor of the New Netherlands and Tackapousha, March 12, 1656; and was magistrate for Hempstead with Mr. Richard Gildersleeve, March 5, 1658. The holding of this office is probably responsible for the title of "Mr." as he appears frequently in Hempstead records without it; and while he was a man of wealth and resource greater than that possessed by many of his contemporaries, his apparent illiteracy denies for him a higher education. That he was able to obtain a magistracy indicates no doubt a man of innate sagacity and of high qualities of leadership.
     ... In 1657 John Stickline or Stiklings appears in Huntington, New York, and he was a resident there by 1660, removing possibly in 1659 or shortly before; on march 2, 1663 the Huntington records call him of Jamaica ... On March 2, 1663, John Stiklan, widower, and of Jamaica, sells to Gabriel Finch " ... all my acomedations in huntington, onely my halfe neck of meddow, excepted: I say have sould to him, his eyers, exseketers, adminestrators and assigns, all my right and titell of house, house lott, barn yards, garden, frute trees, with all previliges and apurtenances thereto belonging, lying and being betwixt Thomas Seidmore and the lott yt was formerly Joseph Smiths: ..." (Printed town records, I, p. 54).
     From the tenor of this deed it seems apparent that John Stickline was living in Huntington until as late as December 2, 1661, and probably until shortly before March 2, 1663. On March 8, 1666, John Stickland made over to Jonas Wood of Huntington a deed of sale for Copiague neck; the former was then of Jamaica.
     ... He resided in Jamaica the rest of his life, dying there between September 5 and December 13, 1672.

     "Strickland notes," compiled by Donald Lines Jacobus. In The American Genealogist, v. 20, pp. 207-10: p. 208: John Strickland, or Stickline as he was often called, was among the early settlers of Charlestown, Mass., and was Sergeant as early as 1631 when he was admitted freeman of Massachusetts Bay. He may by then have been resident in Watertown, Mass., from the church of which town he was dismissed 29 May 1635 to join the settlement at Wethersfield, Conn. The following year, he was active as Sergeant, leading a small contingent to Saybrook because of Indian depredations there, and presumably saw service a few months later when war was declared on the Pequots (May 1637). He sold his Wethersfield homelot 28 Mar. 1640, and seems to have removed that year to Fairfield, Conn., for as Deputy to the General Court in Sept. 1641 there is reason to believe he was representing Fairfield rather than Springfield as sometimes claimed. This session of the Court appointed a committee to settle the bounds between Fairfield and Stratford, and in 1659 Strickland testified regarding the bounds, which he had been active in settling.
     He remained not over four years in Fairfield, and sold his homestead there to William Frost before 6 Jan. 1644/5, when Frost referred to the purchase in his will. In 1644 he was one of the Patentees of Hempstead, L.I., was active there for a few years, being Magistrate there in 1658. He drew land at Southampton in 1650, but his son-in-law, Jonas Wood, was his agent in this transaction, and no evidence has been seen that he ever lived there. He removed from Hempstead to Huntington probably early in 1659, calling himself of Huntington in the Fairfield testimony of that year. In 1661 he was named first among petitioners who sought a house in Elizabeth, N.J., but he never resided there. In Huntington he served as Magistrate in 1661, but in 1663, when he sold his Huntington homestead called himself widower, of Jamaica. He remained in Jamaica until his death between 5 Sept. and 13 Dec. 1672.
     ... The son most persistently attributed to John is Thwaite Strickland. Hatfield's "History of Elizabeth, N.J.," pp. 59-60, in the account of John Strickland, categorically states that John "removed to Wethersfield, Conn. His son, Thwait, settled there; but the father ... removed ..." We shall have occasion, when considering the history of Thwaite, to dispute, not only that he was son of John, but that he ever lived in Wethersfield. ...

In 1644 he was a Patentee of Hempstead, L.I., where he still lived in 1653. His son-in-law Jonas Wood drew a lot for him at Southampton in 1650. He lived a few years at Huntington, then rem.
