At the above website I found the following information:
William Glendinning, or Glendenning, was a very odd person. He had preached in the traveling connection for about ten years but had to give up because of mental aberrations. Evidently he worked to get back into the active ministry, as this letter indicates.
[LANES, VIRGINIA]
[December 23, 1791][ This notice to William Glendinning seems to have been written from the Virginia Conference, which met at Lane's Chapel, Sussex County, Virginia, on Friday, December 23, 1791. The preachers listed here were in that conference. (See also letter of November -, 1792.) Some preachers did not sign.
[To William Glendinning}] [The Minutes show that William Glendinning was admitted to the ministry in 1776 and traveled until 1786, when his name is listed among those "who desist from traveling." He was on the Brunswick Circuit, Virginia, in 1785 and developed a mania of some type. In 1784 he had been appointed to Nova Scotia but refused to go. At that conference he was refused ordination because of "want of gifts." Asbury records in the Journal, Sunday, December 26, 179O, at Newcastle, Hanover County, Virginia:
"William Glendinning spoke after me: I am clear he is not right in his head or heart, and am therefore resolved he shall speak no more at my appointments." The Minutes show that he secured a pension in 179O of £8 6s. lOd. (Jacob S. Payton.)
Hi everyone,
Gail R. Blancett affiliated with the Turner Y-DNA project is looking for male Turner descendants of James Turner and Rebecca Clendenin for testing purposes.
If you are a Turner male descendant or know someone who is would you please contact Gail at ablancett(a)atlantic.net.
Thanks everyone,
Sharon
Just so there is no misunderstanding. We have been having quite a go-round looking for information since our latest 37/37 match was made.
When anyone joins the surname project for testing, I request from them a lineage from the individual being tested back to their earliest known Clendenin (v/s) ancestor. Both of the ladies' who sponsored the participants for the 37/37 match have done so and their participants' (a brother, in one case, and a father, in the other) lineages are listed on the website at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~clendin/.
By going to the comparison chart you can locate the 37/37 match for two men named James. Clicking on the kit number in the left hand column takes you to the lineage for that participant.
The posting of lineages is only required on the website in conjunction with the project testing. Posting of lineages for non-participants is encouraged but is voluntary. The link Lineages will take you to a list of lineages that have been posted.
If there are any questions, please contact me.

I am involved in a DNA study at Duke University seeking a genetic basis for
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). I received a copy of an obituary for my
GGGrandfather, William G. Clendenin, indicating he died of "Consumption". I
am looking for obituaries of James J. Clendenin d.7 Mar 1897, Iredell Co.
NC, and William Samuel Clendenin, d. 2 Aug 1924, Rowan Co. NC. to try to
determine the cause of death. Any help will be appreciated.

You know, I thought for sure my email inbox would be full of messages regarding this 37/37 match that was just reported through our DNA testing. But there has not been one response.
Are you just tired of the whole thing? Don't want to hear about it unless it involves you? Given up that anything of value will come out of the DNA testing?
Somebody -- all of you, any of you -- talk to me. Please.

I apologize to all of you. My original message was supposed to have the above URL included so that you could go to that website and see what the Benedicts are doing and to let me know if you thought it might be a good idea for us as well.
The original message read:
As you all know I have been beating the bushes and surfing the web trying to locate individuals who could be tested in order to try to get across the Atlantic and hopefully tie some of our North American families together.
I came across this today and I would like to know what you think about running this type of contest. I have enough money in the General Fund (my contribution) to test one individual for 37-markers.
If you think it is a worthwhile idea then perhaps we could get enough contributions to fund a second individual. At any rate, let me know what you think. What questions might you have? What concerns would you have? Would you be willing to serve as a judge?

I apologize to those of you who are subscribed to more than one of these lists but I wanted to make sure this information had the widest possible dissemination.
This has been a very active evening as far as DNA results are concerned. Tonight we got a third panel set of results and I discovered that we had a 37/37 match between two people for whom a MRCA has not been discovered. Let me quote some percentages to you: There is a 99.55% probability that these two men shared a common ancestor within the last 300 years; a 99.93% probability that they shared a common ancestor within the last 400 years; a 99.99% probability that they shared a common ancestor within the last 500 years and a 100% probability that they shared a common ancestor with the last 600 years.
Both men are named James: the older of the two was born before 1748 in the U.S. and emigrated to Canada. The second was born c 1752 and lived in PA. They are most likely not brothers since they have the same name but they could be uncle-nephew; cousin-cousin or possibly father-son.
My only suggestion for the researchers of these two lines is to attempt to push back at least one more generation to see if that is where the common ancestor is.
My congratulations to both.
