David Strickland's company, Lt. Col. Longley's regiment of infantry
militia stationed at Camp Commercial Point, Dorchester, going as a
substitute for his brother Zorah. After the war, being then eighteen
years old, he left home and went to Newport, N. Y., where he
learned the carpenter's trade. About 1820 he came to Rutland,
N. Y., and was engaged in building for some ten years. He pur-
chased a farm near Black River, on which he lived until 1859. He
then retired from active labor and moved to Watertown, purchasing
a place on upper State street, where he continued to reside until his
death. He took the premium offered by the agricultural society for
the best kept farm on several occasions. The stone walls built by
him upon his Rutland farm, five miles in length, are still standing.
The Methodist church being the only one near him after he came to
this county, he united with it and continued a faithful member
through life. He was a trustee of the Methodist church at Black
River, settled in 1845, and was assessor and commissioner of high-
ways of the town of Rutland. In pohtics he was independent in
early life, and was among the founders of the Republican party." *
