PITTMAN, SCOTT, STRICKLAN, STRICKLAND posted by Jackie Sites on Sunday, November 30, 1997

The following is a summary of Lear Vesta STRICKLAN.  Lear was born in Ar. Oct. 13, 1882.  Her father was a John STRICKLAND, who had homestead land in Ar. in Garland and/or Montgomery counties.  I do not know her mother's name.   Lear married a William Ace Scott of Wiggs, Garland County on Aug 30, 1903.  Lear also listed Wiggs as her address.  Lear & Ace had three living children: William Earl SCOTT, born Aug 16, 1906, Ethel Leona SCOTT, born July 8, 1904 and Janie Lily Bell Scott born May 13, 1909.  All three kids were born in Ar. Lear's husband, Ace, died May 22, 1925 in a sawmill accident on his homestead.  Ace's mom was Becky Scott, no maiden name. Ace' dad was a John Scott.  I have no futher information on Ace's parents. Lear had a broher named Early STRICKLAND,  a brother named George STRICKLAND, a sister named Roxy STRICKLAND, and a sister named Lizzy or Elizabeth STRICKLAND.  According to family stories, George and Early STRICKLAND  moved to Oklahoma.  Unknown dates.  At some thime after Ace's death, Lear moved to Ok.   I can remember my grandmother, Janie Lily Bell taking me to lear's grave when I was a small child and telling me that this is where her mom is buried.  Lear is buried at Foster, Ok. in an unmarked grave.  Lear died on Feb. 18, 1929. Janie Lily Bell STRICKLAND married a Charles Forrest PITTMAN. On their marriage license both listed Lindsey as their address. I have no idea where George and Early went in Okla. possibly in Altus, or Blair, Ok.  I have no contact with the STRICKLAND, SCOTT, OR PITTMAN side of the family other than William, Leona, and Janie Bell SCOTT'S side. My mother, Wilma Joyce PITTMAN, and one of her brothers were born in Chickasha, Ok.  I also have reason to believe that Becky SCOTT lived in Chickasaw.
