New subscriber: I am looking for Ripley Co surnames of Miles and
Strickland. Paul Strickland was born in Cape May NJ son of Michael and
Elinor Cullen Strickland. He moved to Clermont CO OH in early 1800's
and married Amelia Anderson. Then they moved to Ripley CO IN in 1830's.
Paul had a son Marquis Lafayette Strickland that own a mill in Ripley
Co. Paul and Amelia also had Paul F. who fought in the civil war. Paul
married a Crawford Co woman named Almira Wiser. They settled in Ripley
co and had a daughter Martha Strickland. Martha married Obed Miles.
Obed's father was William W. Miles who fought in the civil war also.
His parents were James D. and Tamar Pool Miles. Tamar was from NC and
her parents were Thomas and Rebecca RUSH POOL.
William W. Miles married Sarah Clarkson, daughter of Lawson and Louisa
Denton Clarkson. Wm's brother married Sarah's sister, Martha.
anyone with info on these families please contact me. Thanks. Donna
