My ancestor is Eleanor Clendening who m. Abraham Johnson in Harrison Co., VA
in 1805. According to information in the Taylor Co. History, she was a
sister-in-law to Stephen Pool. However, this is probably Stephen Poe, who
married Margaret. There was also a brother, George. They are supposed to be
descended from Charles or Archibal. Is anyone researching these families?
I¹d like to find proof of their ancestry.

Okay,
I have kept quiet on this forum for quite some time now but I've got to object.
Sandy, some of the information that you post below is incorrect or NOT PROVEN! I understand why you have it listed as you do, but we need to make some corrections.
>>1 Charles CLENDENIN b: Bet. 1712 - 1715 in Dumfrieshire, Scotland
> d: 1790 in Kanawha Co., VA Burial: 1790 Fort Lee, Kanawha, VA
> .. +Mary Ann PATTERSON b: Abt. 1715 m: 1735 in Lancaster Co., PA
> d: Abt. 1788 in Greenbrier Co., VA Father: James PATTERSON
NO proof has been found that Charles Clendenin (of any spelling) married a Mary Ann Patterson. It is BELIEVED that he did, but not proven.

> *1st Husband of Mary Ellen CLENDENIN: Only PROVEN husband of Mary Ellen-Eleanor-Nellie Clendenin

>> 2 Ann CLENDENIN b: 1756 in Virginia d: March 1801
> .... +William BOGGS b: 1751 d: 31 March 1849 in Knox, OH
Here we're going to have real problems: 1. There is no proof at all that there even was an Ann Clendenin. Secondly regardless of who William Boggs' wife was, he died in Kentucky c 1830 without having remarried and did NOT die in OH in 1849.
I have researched the lines of Mary Ellen Clendenin and William Boggs extensively because they are both are my direct ancestors. Mary Ellen's son, Charles, married William Boggs' daughter, Margaret. I have a copy of the consent to their marriage from Clark Co., KY. The deeds distributing a portion of George Stephenson's estate to his granddaughter, Paulina Clark, wife of John of Putnam Co., IN, along with consent of Charles Stephenson for his daughter, Paulina, to marry John Clark, prove that Charles Stephenson was the son of Mary Ellen Clendenin and George Stephenson.
There is also no proof that Charles Clendenin is the son of anyone in Ireland or Scotland. Obviously he had parents but no documentable proof has been found naming those individuals. I have researched from here in the US and Pat Bird, whose wife was a Glendenning has researched from England making personal trips to Ireland to search the original records.
If ANYONE has documentable proof taking the West Virginia Clendenin families back 2000 years I would like to see that proof. I am not talking about someone's book. I am talking about copies of original records or published transcriptions of original records. I have spent hundreds of dollars looking for proof of Charles (WV) Clendenin's lineage
We do NO one a service when we continue to post lineages without documentable proof or even a preponderance of evidence. That is why the format of the Clendinen Family Research website was changed from listing lineages to listing public records which had been located.
I will be happy to send anyone who would like to see the proven lineage of Charles Clendinen of West Virginia a copy of my database but not for publication or redistribution. This is my research and I will NOT have it put out there as gospel. It does contain unproven but SUSPECTED information.
