My 94 year old grandmother did research for many years in the 50s on the STRICKLANDs and COLLINS families. She has asked me to inquire about a lead she never fully followed regarding a Strickland Plantation in Rose Hill. It is very important to her to find out about it, but impossible for her to travel there, so any information would be greatly appreciated. For instance, did the a Strickland Plantation exist? Who did it belong to? What does any one know of that family and their relations? My grandmother is Inez Strickland Palmer, sister of Ben Strickland, sister-in-law of Jean Strickland

I have not heard of a Strickland Plantation near Rose Hill in Jasper County, Mississippi, however I do find a Simeon Strickland who patented land very near the town of Rose Hill in 1846 and a Simeon Stricklin in the same area. Also a John Strickland and John Stricklin patented land in the same area in 1841. The total acreage patented by the Stricklands/stricklins is 640 acres and all within 2 miles of Rose Hill, Mississippi.
