Some time ago someone posted information on a Christopher Clendenning/Glendenning in one of the Virginia counties.
Does anyone have a copy of that posting or remember which county he was located in?
Christopher is not a traditional Glendenning name and sounds rather English to me. I'm trying to determine if this Christopher was a descendant of the Jno Glendening who was transported in 1715/-16 landing at Yorktown, VA.
Thanks,

We have known for some time that a John Glendening/Glendenning was transported to America on the Elizabeth & Anne, master Edward Trafford, and was put ashore in Virginia in 1716.
On the Scots-DNA website today I found John's name included in a list of men (1301 in number) who were Jacobites, had been captured and imprisoned. 639 of these men were transported to America or Jamaica. The lists were compared to each other and only those who were transported were included in the list that was posted.
I finally found John listed as Jno. Gledening when transported; as Jon Glendenman while imprisoned in Wigan. The important part of this was the listing of his home parish and county: Ramsey, in Northumberland (England).
While this doesn't tell us what happened to him after he arrived in America, it at least tells us where he was from originally. This is a step in the right direction.
