Wylie J. Strickland was born about 1820 somewhere in Alabama and died on February 21, 1863 in Tyner's Station, Chattanooga, Tennessee. Actual date of birth is unknown. He lived to be about 43 years old.
His daughter, Josephine stated in the 1880 census that her father was born in Alabama and her mother was born in Georgia. Past down in the family is the Knight name, that appears as her name on her son, Henry's death certificate,
