William Strickland (farmer)
William Strickland, 6th Baron Boynton, esq. (February 18, 1753 – January 8, 1834) was an 18th-century gentleman farmer and writer from Yorkshire, England. He was the eldest son of Sir George Strickland of York, England, from the ancient English Strickland family of Sizergh. He established his own farm at Welburn in York and, in 1808, succeeded his father as the sixth baron of Boynton.〔(''Notes on Conversations with William Strickland, May 1795 by Thomas Jefferson'' )〕

At the end of the 18th century he travelled to the United States where he made a survey of agricultural land, prices and wages, which he published as a ''Journal of a Tour of the United States of America, 1794–95''.〔(''Along the Hudson and Mohawk: The 1790 Journey of Count Paolo Andreani'' ), p. 17〕 The account was also published in the Farmer's Register〔(The Farmer's Register, Vol.3 ) Retrieved February 2013〕 and in the 1800 ''Communications to the Board of Agriculture''.〔(''Communications to the Board of Agriculture'' ), p. 145〕 His trip covered the period from September 20, 1794 until July 29, 1795.〔(''The D. Brent Pogue Collection, Part II'' ), Lot #2041〕 His travels included meeting with Thomas Jefferson in May 1795 who took notes of their conversation.〔(''Notes on Conversations with William Strickland, May 1795 by Thomas Jefferson'' )〕
Among his many observations on the state of American agriculture was a less than flattering commentary on the slave economies of Virginia and Maryland:
:Nothing can be conceived more inert than a slave; his unwilling labour is discovered in every step he takes; he moves not if he can avoid it; if the eyes of the overseer be off him, he sleeps. The ox and horse, driven by the slave, appear to sleep also; all is listless inactivity; all motion is evidently compulsory.〔(''Communications to the Board of Agriculture, on Subjects Relative to the Husbandry and Internal Improvement of the Country'', Board of Agriculture, Great Britain (c1790) ), p. 145〕
