- From MennoSearch.com:
He was naturalized as a Mennonite in February 1728 at Lancaster County making his mark "K" o n the petition. He apparently could not write in 1728. He received 350 acres in Hellam Townsh ip, York County on 30 Oct 1736 which was disputed by Maryland. Part of his land was patente d to his son Jacob Strickler in Feb 1767. He sold part (196 acres) of his land with his wif e Barbara to his son John on 29 Jul 1765 for natural love and then later John sold this land to his son Ulrich.[25] In the deed part of his land was in the possession of Jacob Strickl er in 1765. Conrad probably arrived in Pennsylvania with his brother Abraham in 1726. Conra d had sons John, Jacob and Conrad who all lived in Hellam Township and he is probably the fat her of Henry, Abraham and Ulrich Strickler who all moved to Rapho Township, Lancaster County . Conrad possibly had daughters as well. Conrad was living on the west side of the Susquehann a River as early as 1732, when he, Nicholas Beery, Michael Tanner and others were captured b y the Maryland authorities and thrown into jail in Baltimore over a land dispute. They pai d a fine and were released.

When Did Conrad Strickler Arrive in America?
This question has been the source of much argument and speculation. There are many theories t hat have evolved. None have been proven. One suggested that Abraham and Conrad Strickler cam e to America with the Brubaker family, arriving at New York Harbor 16 June 1710. However, whe n Richard W. Davis of Provo, Utah looked into the 16 June 1710 immigrants, he could find no B rubakers or Stricklers arriving at that time. H.M. Strickler suggested they arrived in Ameri ca in or about 1700. This date is much to early for Abraham or Conrad to have arrived in Amer ica. Based on known data about Abraham's birth, Abraham would have been 6 or 7 years old in 1 700 and Conrad not more than 5 years old. Plus most German Mennonite Immigrations to Americ a did not occur until after 1717. Another theory again includes the Brubaker family. On 27 S eptember 1717, Johannes Bruppacher and Christian Hershey took up a warrant of 1,000 acres o n the Little Conestoga Creek in West Hempfield, PA. This land was near where Abraham and Conr ad Strickler first appear in records. The Brubaker family has ties to Ibersheim and Friederic hstadt, Germany and to the same locations in Switzerland as the Strickler family. This theor y is based on the idea that families who had moved together for so many years, also came to A merica together. The conclusion here being the Stricklers arrived in America about 1717 wit h the Bruppachers. Abraham Strickler and Conrad Strickler both took oaths of Naturalizatio n in March 1728 in Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania. It was often a few years before an oath of al legiance was taken. This indicates that Abraham and Conrad Strickler, arrived as early as 172 3 to 1724. Abraham and Conrad Strickler may have arrived in America about Oct 1724. They ma y have lived for several months with the Brubaker family. In 1725, the Strickler and Brubake r families had all grown and room was limited, so Abraham and Conrad ventured out on their ow n. In 1728, they purchased land from John Daugherty. They each lived there with their brothe r Heinrich Strickler. Conrad then moved south to York Co. and Abraham further south into th e beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.
From Stricklers of Pennsylvania:
The name of Conrad Strickler appears in the indictment of Henry Munday and Charles Higgenboth em in Chester County in 1736, as one of the tenants whose possessions of land west of the Sus quehanna were disturbed by these men and others in the interests of Lord Baltimore, as record ed by I.Daniel Rupp in his "History of Lancaster and York Counties." published in 1846.
