She married 19 Sep 1764, Edgecombe Co., NC to Solomon Strickland, son of Jacob Strickland and his wife Lucretia Lemar ___. (Some say her maiden name was Pitts, but without a definite source. The name Lemar was passed down in the family).

Amy appears to have been the daughter of Richard Pace and his wife Elizabeth of Edgecombe Co., NC, although others claimshe was the daughter of Thomas Pace and Sarah Woodlief.

Together, Amy and Solomon would raise a family of fifteen children.

The biography below was pieced together using materials from many researchers, which I have credited where I could identify the authors. I anyone can supply more names, please let me know.

"In Bruce Howard's book about the Pace family, he states (pp. 137-138) that Solomon and Amy resided at their plantation on Turkey Creek for many years and that most or all of their children were born there. This was near the Franklin, Wake, Nash county lines, or in the southwestern part of Nash County. They were already living on their farm when Nash county was created, and in 1778 Solomon applied for and received a grant for land which adjoined their farm."

The Revolutionary War – still in Edgecombe Co., NC?:

1776 - According to tradition, Solomon Strickland was an ardent patriot, fought in the Revolutionary War in the North Carolinia Militia as a private, and was at the Battle at King's Mountain, serving under General Elijah Clark. While no official record, either service or pension, has been found for him so far, he may have later received a land warrant in Georgia for his revolutionary service.

1778 – Nash Co., NC
"Nash County Grant Book, Caveat no. 256 - Solomon Strickland enters 250 acres of Land in Nash County, on both sides of the great branch of Turkey Creek above Barniby Barrons, Running so as to Include the Improvements he now lives on. 31st Dec. 1778."

1780 - It's possible Solomon served at this time:

George Handley Papers, 1783-1788. 8 items. Augusta (Richmond County), Ga.
"Letters and papers of George Handley, soldier in the American Revolution and governor of Georgia, concerning routine military matters; letter from General Elijah Clark, 1788, requesting state troops for Franklin County, Georgia, to protect people while gathering their crops; and extracts from the minutes of meetings of the Executive Council of Georgia, 1785."

Solomon received land in Wilkes (later Elbert) Co., GA for his war service? Or was this his friend Alexander Thompson?:

HISTORY OF PIKE COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI 1798-1876, by L. W. Conerly).
"Alexander Thompson and Solomon Strickland (father of Alexander's daughter in law) are listed as receiving land warrants as Revolutionary Soldiers. He was given land in Wilkes County, Georgia between 1783 and 1785 (History of Georgia and Georgia's People, by George G. Smith, page 623 & 640)."

[source?]
Broderbund World Family Tree CD ROM, Volume 4, file #3752. "Alexander Thompson, Sr. fought in the battle of Kings Mountain. A man named Griffith was shot and when Alexander Thompson stopped to help him a ball struck him in the forehead passed over his head under the scalp and came out at the back of his head leaving a scar where hair was prevented from growing."

1786 - Solomon and Amy move to old Wilkes (later Elbert) Co., Georgia.

[need source]
"The family lived here until 1786, when they and some of his brothers loaded up their wagons, herded together their stock, and moved to the State of Georgia. Solomon sold his 700 acres of land for 100 pounds of gold and silver on November 4, 1786 to Stephen Young (Nash County, N.C. Deed book 1, p. 342). At the time they came to Georgia the parent county in which they settled was old Wilkes County, which was later broken up to form Elbert and others. Two of the brothers, Solomon and Jacob were in Elbert, and Isaac, Henry and Matthew in the lower part of Franklin, which in 1796 became Jackson County. Solomon during that same period purchased land in Jackson upon which he was taxed, although he physically resided in Elbert."

Elbert County in 1786 was a completely undeveloped frontier on land only recently ceded by the Creek Indians. There was literally nothing there. Farming was subsistence only.

Archives of Elbert County - From the editors of Roadside Georgia
"Established 1790.
The land that today is Elbert County was ceded by the Cherokee and Creek Indians in 1773, in part to repay loans made by white traders... In 1777, in the midst of the American Revolution, the state of Georgia consolidated it as Wilkes County...
The first permanent settlements appeared in the last two decades of the 18th century. Although early manufacturing census records are incomplete, by 1810 the county had a wagon works, two gunpowder mills and three bark mills in addition to the normal blacksmith shops, distilleries, and grist mills."

1786 – Creeks declare war against Georgia and attack settlements:

From "The Creek Indians of Georgia, Part III
By Larry Worthy
Exclusively for Our Georgia History
"Meanwhile, the American demands continued. Unsatisfied with the Creek land cession of 1783, commissioners for the United States (then organized as a confederacy), tried to negotiate another cession at Gauphinton in October, 1784. When the Creek failed to show up in sufficient numbers the commissioners left in disgust. However, Elijah Clarke was not as discriminating as the U. S. commissioners and he coerced the Creek into signing a treaty ceding the land from the Ocmulgee and Oconee River south to the St. Mary's. This treaty also validated the 1783 Treaty of Augusta.
On April 2, 1786 the Creeks declared war on Georgia and attacked settlements on a wide front. Americans, who wanted peace but were unwilling to give back Creek lands gotten at Augusta and Gauphinton. MacGillivray's wide front included attacks as far north as the Cumberland River. The Creek chief refused to negotiate with the Georgians until they recognized the boundary of Creek and Georgia land to be that of the Augusta treaty of 1773, something the Georgians would not do. He then signed a treaty with the settlers in the Cumberland area while continuing to attack Georgia."

http://www.aboutnorthgeorgia.com/ang/Creek_History
"Creek History - About North Georgia"
"During the American Revolution the Creek Nation was generally successful in maintaining its neutrality, although factions of the tribe fought on either the British or American sides. In November, 1783, two minor chiefs (Tallassee and Cusseta) ceded Creek land between the Tugaloo and Apalachee Rivers. After the cession, relations between the state of Georgia and the Creek Nation worsened and on April 2, 1786 the Creek Nation declared war. Attacks against settlers on Creek land were carried out. In spite of two attempts at treaty (Shoulderbone, 1786; New York, 1790) there was no sustained peace on the Georgia frontier until after the War of 1812. Although most of the incidents were relatively minor, settlers on the boundary between the Creek Nation and the state of Georgia were always fearful of a raid."

http://m.georgiaencyclopedia.org/articles/history-archaeology/creek-indians
From "New Georgia Encyclopedia - Creek Indians"
"Creeks largely avoided the American Revolution, but their lives changed dramatically thereafter. The deerskin trade collapsed due to a shrinking white-tailed deer population. The new state of Georgia consequently viewed Creeks as impediments to the expansion of plantation slavery rather than as partners in trade. Under pressure by Georgia, Creeks ceded their lands east of the Ocmulgee River in the Treaties of New York (1790), Fort Wilkinson (1802), and Washington (1805)."

1787 –
10 Nov 1787, probably Elbert Co., GA. Son Barnabas Strickland married Rachel McKie. She was from Burke Co., NC; Barnabas from Edgecombe Co., NC. These were half the state away from each other.

Was this fighting the Creek Indians? Was this really in 1786, not 1788?

1788 – Son Ephraim was killed in Battle of Boggs Hill, Athens, GA against Indians. Son Barnabas put in claim for seven horses (stolen by Indians?).

http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaelber2/
Elbert Co. Ga was created by the Georgia State Legislature on December 10, 1790 from part of Wilkes County which had included lands formely ceded by the Cherokees and Creeks in 1773. It was named for Samuel Elbert, noted general in the Revoluntionary War and Governor of Georgia in 1785.

1790 – Solomon is not listed on the North Carolina census.
The Georgia census records for 1790, 1800, and 1810 were destroyed in the Civil War.

Solomon couldn’t sign his name. In the Elbert County, GA Deed Book C, page 140, dated 27 Feb 1795, Solomon Strickland sold property to James Rodgers:

"Timothy was a co-founder and the first minister, and he and Winney were charter members of the Lystra Primitive Baptist Church which was constituted January 15, 1803, at Scull Shoals in Elbert County, Georgia. Lystra was originally called Scull Shoals Baptist Church. Lystra Church was a topic in the book, Foxfire 7, and was featured in at least two newspaper articles over the years. Church records indicated that Rev. Timothy Carrington performed a marriage in Elbert County on Sep. 24, 1807."

In "Foxfire 7" edited by Paul F. Gillespie, 1982, Plate 12 (p 74) shows the 12 original members of the Lystra Primative Baptist Church as Timothy Carrington (Minister), Winifred Carrington, Solomon Strickland, Amy Strickland, David Robertson, Amelia Sorrells, William Davis, John Mearon(?), Mary Mearon, Pony(?) Williford, Nancy Williford, and Juda Williford, and was dated 15 January 1803.
Howard Parham, the only remaining member of the Lystra Primitive Baptist Church, recounted its history (p 71): "The church was first built over in Oglethorpe County (GA) across the river. It was and still is a Primitive Baptist church. The people moved over to this place and this building was built in 1820. They built it close to a spring so they wouldn't have to dig a well and close to water for a baptisizing hole. My granddaddy got baptized [in that hole] with ice on the banks. He wanted to be baptized then and didn't want to wait till the water got warm. [After they moved] they changed the name from Skull Shoals to Lystra. So this building is about 150 years old. They were still fighting Indians when the church was established. At that time, there was no community and no roads. The most members they ever had, according to my records, was fifty. They only have one member now and that's me. They had slave members there and a balcony set up for the slaves. They didn't sit down there with the (white) people. Once they turned a slave out for beating his wife. The women sat on one side of the church and the men sat on the other. [They] always did that. They had foot washings up until they quit having services. Every year in August they had communion and foot washings. We always called that Attracted Meeting. We had a three-day meeting in August and foot washings on one day.""

1804 -
Madison Co GA - Solomon Strickland made gifts to his children in the following manner:

[need source]
" I give to my daughters Unah Thompson and Barsheba Strickland one Negro woman by the name of Isbel and her increase which by the said instrument they are to be possessed of after the decease of myself and my wife Amy
Strickland but from diverse good causes and considerations I have and hereby at this time deliver up to my daughter Barsheba Strickland and to Alexander Thompson husband of my said daughter Unah four Negro children part of the increase of the said Negro woman Isbel to wit EVE a girl, SUKY a girl, FRANKY a girl and JACK a boy... this sets precedent for the gift made by Barsheba Strickland to her
(illegitimate) son Milledge of the child Jack.

1805 – Solomon and Amy moved to Jackson Co., GA to land that became part of Madison Co., GA in 1811

[need source]
"In PACE OUR COLONIAL ANCESTORS, Bruce Howard wrote that in 1805, the clerk of the land office in Jackson County, who apparently had a keen eye and a bit of a sense of humor, listed Solomon, Senior as "Solomon (Bit nose) Strickland." This was because he has apparently got into a knock down, no holds barred fight with someone around this time period, and that someone may have got the better of him and bit a plug out of his nose and probably broke some bones (p 139).
Before leaving Elbert County and moving into the easter portion of Jackson County (circa 1805), Solomon made a deed of gift to certain of his children, disposing of his worldly property. Howard speculates that "he was quite a rounder and a good hand at drinking his own whiskey...(and perhaps) thought he was about to die" Howard went on to note that he did not intend to leave the impression that Solomon was one of little morals...he was an educated and energetic man and a very successful planter of the well-to-do class in the South. This eastern portion of Jackson was severed in 1811 to form Madison County. Solomon ratified the earlier gifts he made in Elbert County in 1813, while living in Madison County."

[need source]
"Family tradition story is that Solomom Strickland is sometimes referred to as "BIT NOSE" Strickland. He was involved in a fight with a man who bit off half his nose. Told by Marion Watkins to Maxine James Collins. See page 74 in "Foxfore 7" Publication."

1808 – Jasper Co., GA – this was Solomon Jr.? Jasper is near Henry Co.:

"Some of the 1808 owners who registered their stock marks were: ROBERT RICHARDS, THOMAS BLACK, SAM BLACK, MICAJAH SANSUM, SAMUEL WALKER, SOLOMON STRICKLAND, JACOB WHITE, ZACHEUS PHILLIPS, THOMAS GAMMAGE, JAMES JONES, SILVANUS WALDER, AND JAMES BAKER."

1805 - Did Solomon and Amy ever go to MS? Or was this Solomon Jr.?

Leatha A. Betts writes: '"Solomon Strickland then received a land lottery in 1805 for Wayne Co. Miss. He migrated to Amite Co. Miss. where many of his children were married. It is believed Amy Pace Strickland died there.Solomon Strickland went back to Madison Co. Ga. where he lived with Solomon Strickland Jr. (Gov. of Ga.) and saw his brother Jacob Strickland Jr.'s family. He died there in 1815."

Madison County Chamber of Commerce
"Madison County was created by the Georgia Legislature in 1811 and was formed from portions of Clarke, Elbert, Franklin, Jackson and Oglethorpe Counties. It is the 38th county in the state and was named for the nation’s fourth president, James Madison.  The first meeting of county government was in January 1812 at the "Strickland House" has also been used as the offices of the Chamber of Commerce and Industrial Authority. [This was Henry Strickland’s house.]
In 1773, the Cherokee Indians ceded to the Colonial Government of Georgia a large tract of land, whose western border included what is now Madison County. Governor James Wright sold farms of 100 to 1,000 acres to settlers who came to Georgia from similar areas of Pennsylvania, Virginia and North and South Carolina.
These early residents probably were hunters, squatters, traders and cattle-raisers. Although they did not leave written records, landmarks, such as churches, trading places and cattle raising centers are known to have been in existence since 1790."

Archives of Madison County - From the editors of Roadside Georgia
"Established in 1811. Named for James Madison, who was President at the time.
Botanist William Bartram accompanied the men who surveyed the boundary of 1773 land secession from which part of the county of Madison would eventually be formed. Although the land did have earlier settlers, his descriptions provide one of the earliest written descriptions of this county.
Land grants to Revolutionary War veterans and others were the most popular way of disbursing the land. Among the more famous was a grant to Count D'estaing, Frenchman who helped the freedom fighters of the American Revolution lose the battle of Savannah.
Organized originally as Wilkes County, The lands to the west were acquired from the Cherokee in the Secession of 1783-4. At that time a string of forts marked the western boundary of the Georgia expansion. Four of these forts were in present-day Madison County including Jones Station.
Farmers grew corn, beans and pumpkin at the start of the 19th century. Cotton production had not made it this far west at the time, and for most farming was a subsistence life. Starting about 1800 the agricultural base of the county began to diversify and products expanded to in cotton, beef, dairy and oats.
The county was created on Dec. 5 1811 from portions of Clarke, Oglethorpe, Elbert, Franklin and Jackson counties. The Henry Strickland home was used as the first courthouse. James Long of Danielsville was well recognized in the early history of the county. He was one of the first "bankers" albeit without the bank. He would loan money to the farmers, who would pay him back when the crop came in."

1813 – Madison Co., GA. Both Solomon and Amy are still living.

[need source]
"Solomon Strickland declared in the Madison County Court on 28 Oct 1813, that he had on 14 Jul 1804 made a deed of gift to his children Ephraim, Barsheba, Unah, Linny (Now Linny Ware), Ezekiel, and Nancy property of record in Elbert County, to be possessed after his death and that of his wife Amy. This deed of gift is on file with the Superior Court of Elbert County, GA. according to Solomon Strickland."

"Several comments here:
I have copies of the several documents Kathlynn has, also.
Madison Co was formed partly from the counties of Oglethorpe, but also from Clarke/Elbert/Franklin/ and Jackson. It was a complicated "division/consolidation"! If you go there today and go to the cite of the Old Lystra
Primitive Baptist Church you are in the area of Danielsville and out near Comer, GA, and that is in the heart of what was left of Madison with Danielsville being the county seat. In looking at the map I believe it was more than a walk away.
The Concord PB Church was in Jasper County. Jasper was formed from old Randolph in 1808 and 1812 renamed Baldwin. It was some distance away where Solomon's son Solomon, Jr. settled after drawing land there in the lottery, if I remember correctly. Monticello, GA is the county seat. Descendants of Solomon, Jr. had identified this person in Jasper Co. as the son of Solomon and Amy.
Following is a transcription of some information re. these Stricklands in these church records as transcribed from the microfilm. If they were different bunch, does anyone know who they were?

Comment: This appears to be the wife of Solomon Strickland, Jr. as his first wife was Frances Diamond.
Yes, Solomon and Amy were charter members of the Old Lystra Primitive church. I have seen the actual church minutes book with the page listing the charter members and have a copy. I will be glad to share with anyone interested in having a copy. I think these Concord church records are ones that have only in the last recent years been discovered - a good example of never to give up on finding documents regarding the history of our families. Glenn Strickland was the uncle of Claire Magbee, I believe, from whom she received her
information. I knew Glenn through Strickland Research, Inc. where we attended meetings together and via postal mail. I don't think Glenn was aware of the possibility of iscovering Solomon and Amy living in Jasper Co. near Solomon,
Jr. No one would have thought that would have happened, probably. But after he gave his deed of gifts and was getting up in years along with Amy maybe they decided to move near by. They still could very well have been
buried back in Madison County near their home of many years and where their membership was in the Lystra church. I don't doubt that at all. That's just my 2 cents worth!!
I have also read that they went to Amite Co., MS and lived and died there. But I have seen no evidence for that. Is there some concrete evidence for this "theory"?? I would be interested in having it. I really don't believe the Old Lystra church became the Concord church. I have seen the Old Lystra minute books from 1803 to 1976? I don't remember
the date it no longer was an active church, but in the 1970s. I talked with Mr. Parham in an extensive conversation and he has all the records for
the Lystra church. No other church is included here.
I think it is great that we are discussing possibilities. There very well may be other information/evidence that some of us has not seen but would
like to see. Let's keep sharing! With the many border changes through the years it certainly makes things complicated to decipher!!

been able to document his death date. On June 4, 1814 Solomon and Amy became members of the Concord Primitive Baptist Church in Jasper Co., GA where their son, Solomon lived and was a member. Amy died while they were living
there, and she is listed in the dead members of the church listed in the Sept. 1818 annual meeting minutes of the church. It appears that Solomon was dismissed from the church noted in the Sept. 1818 annual minutes of the
church as dismissed by letter. So after Amy died it appears that Solomon moved from Jasper County. Where? I would guess back to Madison Co, but I
have no documentation for that.
1820 Madison Co., GA census
Both Solomon and Amy were deceased by this time????"

Strickland Family Biography
"Jacob [and Lucretia]'s sons Solomon Strickland and Jacob Strickland Jr. received land in Nash Co. N. Car. which they exchanged for land in Edgecombe Co. N. Car.
Solomon Strickland married Amy Pace dau. of Thomas Pace and Amy (Amelia)(Mildred)Boykin of Northampton Co. N. Car. They were married 19 Sept 1764 in Edgecombe Co. N. Car. She had lived in Edgecombe Co. after the death of her father with her brother Thomas Pace who owned land in Edgecombe Co. N. Car. Solomon's brother Jacob Strickland Jr. married Pricilla Taylor Young.
Solomon Strickland migrated with Amy, to Elbert Co. Ga. where their names are carved as first members of Primitive Baptist Church. Solomon Strickland also served as militiaman, during Revolution. He and Amy migrated or was divided into Madison Co. Ga. where they appear on
rolls of Old Lystra Primitive Church, 1803.
Solomon Strickland then received a land lottery in 1805 for Wayne Co. Miss. He migrated to Amite Co. Miss. where many of his children were married. It is believed Amy Pace Strickland died there.
Solomon Strickland went back to Madison Co. Ga. where he lived with Solomon Strickland Jr. (Gov. of Ga.) and saw his brother Jacob Strickland Jr.'s family. He died there in 1815."
