For those who do not know,Lincoln's New Salem, ILL.State Historial site located on Hwy. 97 outside of Petersburg, ILL.,has a wealth of info concerning Wm. Price "Bill" Clary and his family including the Armstrongs and Greenes & others and their association with Abe Lincoln. Just ask any of the personel in the site's office or on the historic grounds and they will enlighten you with their exploits. I highly recommend visiting the site, it will take you back in time, especially the reconstructed tavern/grocery store that Bill Clary owned. Carl Sandberg/burg described those who made Bill's tavern their destination as "sons of the frontier" who engaged in all manner of "rude sports." Please go, you will not be sorry! Regards,
Willie Gail Riddles-Rotzoll=Arlie Thelma Norris=Pearl Givens=Margjory/Margorie Phalba Clary=Enoch Barnett Clary=William Price "Bill" Clary=John S. Clary.

TO Harvery E Clary..are we distant cousins?
1. My GGgrandFather was John Clary jr, & GGgrM was Rhoda Armstrong Clary.(Rhoda was the sister of Jack Armstrong).
2.MY GGF was John's son,. William Carroll Clary,born to John Clary jr & Rhoda Armstrong Clary, in Feb 1823 .William Carroll Clary (William C.(Dr. Bill) was a natural with animals & a successful vet.,..who married GGrM Elizabeth Watkins,in Aug.19th,1847,in Petersburg Ill.
3. MY Grandfather(who died well before I was born) was Henry Leeper Clary,who was the 7th child of Williams's "5" sons & this while married Elizabeth Watkins is first wife.,They,. had 8 children altogether.Elizabeth was my Great Grandmother.
Then after Elizabeth died, William(the Vet) married Angelina Geneva Hayes in Brownville Nebraska & went on to have 5 more children!( Mr.Rowland who wrote the thick blue soft cover geneology book is a descendant from one of those 5 William C. Clary/Hayes younger children.)
My Grandfather Henry Leeper Clary, was born 1861, in Auburn Nebraska,(a school master , farmer & restaurant owner ,but listed as a laborer in the census.Grandpa also played several musical instruments by ear .He Married Louise Prante in Friendship Indiana,but they lived in Auburn & Nebraska City,Nebraska all their year together. .They had 8 children G,B,G,G,G G B(my father 06),B. ,. 4. MY father Ernest Henry Clary,being the only surviving son of Henry's,who had children.. graduated from University of Nebrasaka in 1939 with his degree in Geolology .Dad was a consulting & civil Engineer as well as a land surveyor all his life& living out his days in S. Nevada . Ernest with Lillian , ,had just one son & one daughter .I am that only daughter ,Joan Elizabeth Clary .
MY Father,. Ernest Henry Clary was born May 21,1906 in Lincoln Nebraska & married my mother Lillian Roth(b.Nov. 1907) in December of 1930,both of them in their early 30ties. They had been friends appearing in HS musicals !Ernest & Lillian Clary, moved to Nevada in 1942 ,then,the following June had their first child a son,my only sibling & older brother, Patrick Clary, ,in 1942. My father & mother are both deceased now & buried in Las Vegas.Dad passing in September of 1981 & my Mother in June of 2000..
5. I am Joan E. "Clary" Davidson,(married to my only husband in LV in 74 ). born in CA in 1949 & a retired teacher & mother of 3!(MY father was 43 & mother was 41 at the time I was born,work the math .
My father(Ernest) helped with the dates & stories in Ralph Shearer Rowland's "Clary Geneology book" & was so proud of "all the Clary history .He told me many stories,from the time I was old enough to remember it, & until ,before he died in September of 1981,on all his Clary& Armstrong. extended family history ! Ralph Rowland was a distant half cousin of Dad's& fascinated by the Clary & Armstrong family history.Angelina Hayes(William Carrol Clary's second wife) would have been Ralph's Great grandmother.. !
So you might say , I at ayouthful age 60, am a Descendant & cousin of yours ,,esp. since my GGGF was John Clary jr, & GGGM was Rhoda Armstrong. Yes, Jack Armstrong was my GGG uncle & John Clary Jr.(of the Clary Grove boys ) Brother Of Bill Clary)was my GGGF.
Since my parents had me so late in life,. I am closer up i the tree limb (or the food chain) to some Clary's & Armstrongs! I also was a El Ed teacher,play piano by ear,& can teach & heal most kids & animals like William C.Clary,.Been told I have a Clary sense of humor ,a gift of gab, plus can spot a phony ,a knock the nonsense out of them from a mile away,,like all GGGrandfathers & uncles!I also have a GREAT MEMORY for my age& have been told I have the Clary legs & strong arms!Yes,. I am an true Irish.. CLARY,although there is some Desiree.. French Clary thrown in there !
