| - James Strickland was the Chief Marshal of Hill Valley in 1885, and the paternal grandfather of Robert Strickland, Edna Strickland, and Stanford S. Strickland, the Hill Valley High School vice-principal in the 20th century. Along with his son Roger (presumably the father of Robert, Edna, and Stanford), the Marshal was first seen attending the festival that celebrated the clock tower being constructed. He arrived in Hill Valley in 1874. He and his deputy made sure that no one went to the party armed, although Strickland missed a small derringer pistol hidden underneath the hat of Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen. Tannen snidely told the Marshal that he ought to smile since it was a party, but the stoic lawman simply replied he would only smile when he saw Tannen hanged. After Tannen and his men left, Strickland turned to his son and told him to always remember to value discipline above all else. Later, at the party, Strickland showed up armed with a shotgun during a tense moment between Tannen and "Clint Eastwood" (who was Marty McFly in disguise), breaking up the confrontation and getting the party back on track. In the 1890s, Marshall James Strickland and his deputy, along with Zeke and Jeb, respond to a report that Doc Brown is causing trouble outside of town. Doc has hired a group of railroad workers to lay down fifty yards of track, seemingly without a train. Marshall Strickland, by this time well aware of Doc's eccentricity, tells Doc that he is knows that it is for an experiment, but that it doesn't make any sense. Doc tells him that the future doesn't always make sense, as he leaves with his sons, Jules and Verne. He likely died prior to 1931, as Edna Strickland stated he had been shot and killed by "Mad Dog" Tannen. In 1931, Edna Strickland gave Emmett Brown the suit that her grandfather wore on his wedding night (which would later be destroyed due to action taken by Marty). Sometime after arriving in 1876, Edna informed Marshal Strickland of a Palace Saloon being built by Beauregard Tannen, only for the Marshal to do nothing. This resulted in Edna attempting to burn the building herself, only to be stopped by Marty and Doc. In the 1931A timeline, Edna kept a picture of her grandfather, and in her deluded state mistook her cactus for him after a mop top and hat were placed on it.
