Searching for Elijah Strickland

I am searching for information on the following person.

Elijah Strickland
Born 14 Feb 1790 in Connecticut
Died 10 May 1877 wither in Brooklyn NY or Huntington NY

I kknow that he is my 3rd Great Grandfather and that he was married on 14 Jul 1814 to
Eliza Quereau
Born 26 Feb 1798
Died 24 Apr 1878

My family tree is public and this link should take you to Elijah in that tree if you need any other information about him.

Mainly, I am looking for information on his parents and those who came before him. I seem to have run into a brick wall. I would appreciate any information you might have.

Thanks in advance
