Hi Michael and all. This is what I have. According to Kanawha Co. Records:
Allen M. Clendenin born abt 1879, son of B. P. Clendenin, died December 7,
1924 in Charleston, WV of gunshot wounds at age of 45 yrs. He was a widower
and a blacksmith by trade (this occupation is common in my family). He
married Ellen Ann McGrath June 6, 1901. Their children are: 1. Paul, who was
born December 25, 1913 at Carbon, WV and died May 8, 1954 in So. Charleston,
WV at the age of 40 yrs 4mos 13 days. He was a florist. 2. Baby Clendenin
born December 25, 1915 and 3. Frances Clendenin born December 15, 1916.
The B. P. Clendenin, whom I believe to be, Ballard Preston Clendenin is my
gggrandfather. I believe this Allen to be the brother of my great grandfather
Bennett J. Clendenin, who may have been nicknamed, Buz, Buzz, Bus? There was
an inquiry way back when about these nicknames. Does anyone have any info?
Thanks, Martha

The James Clendenin who married Mary Fullerton is my ancestor. They
lived in Harford County, Maryland. His son John E. Clendenin was born
in Maryland, but he and most of his children (and their families) moved
west to Illinois. Another of James' sons, Adam, remained in Maryland
and founded a branch of the family there. I have this family on my web
site. It includes all the details that are in my database and
references and source citations whereever possible. (I will shortly
update the web site to include the data from Donald's transcript.) Go

Dear George, I got so far behind from my obsession with the massacre
that I am still over 2000 e-mails behind but am slowly getting caught
up...Thanks for the information about the inscription on the monument--I
hope that you posted it to the list--if not please do or remind me to
correct what I had sent out..I assume that I sent it to the whole list?
In fact I will try to do that right now....Yes I have access to the
Draper manuscripts--at least the microfilm copy...I have been trying to
read one more account, but it is extremely hard to read--I am probably
going to have to put it off until January or February as the copies are
impossible so the entire thing will have to be perused while sitting at
the reader--it is handwritten--very small and not a very clear
copy...The family Bible I have not seen in person and cannot at this
time put my hands on where I found the information--I'll try to get
around to refiling my Clendenin things in the next day or so and get
back with you. Marsha
I started to post this to George only then decided to post to entire
list in case George had not sent the following information to the whole
list....I apologize if it is repeat of information, but I am only at
10/29/98 in catching up on e-mails and it may be 1999 before I get back
to these that I want to do something else with.,..
Here is what George wrote to me:
> >Here is what the monument says on it, George:
> Pontiac's War
> Massacre of white families on Muddy Creek and of the Clendenins near
> here by a band of Shawnee Indians let by Chief Cornstalk, in 1763,

> Valley. <

Good morning,
Last week while I was out of town, a co-worker of my daughter's tried to
help me out by installing an additional 1.2 Gb Hard drive that I hadn't had
time to install. I'm not sure whether it was a case of murder or accidental
homicide but he messed it up big time.
Apparently when the computer would not recognize the existence of the second
drive he tried using a recovery disk and reinstalled Windows. The only
problem was that apparently a low-level reformat was done on the hard drive
and suddenly there was nothing there but the factory-installed software. No
saved mailing list messages, no web pages, nothing!
I was furious to say the least and spent all day Saturday trying to recover
my data (I hadn't bought a tape back up yet either). Okay, my fault but
thought you ought to know the situation.
Luckily, I guess, for the past two weeks I've been on the road as you
all know. When I'm away from home I use the govt supplied notebook to
receive e-mail. I then save to a floppy disk and erase the original
message (I'm not supposed to use the machine for personal purposes).
What does this mean in the long run? Well, I have lost some unposted web
pages I was working on and I'm having to reconstruct my current year
finances (luckily I had backed that up in August) but I think we will be
okay. As best I can tell, the loss of the data is not going to affect the
web pages.
The web sites are OKAY! I can download them from the web in order to have
the pages to modify, correct, whatever. It simply means it will
take me a while to get some new material on the sites as I will have to
recreate some things.
The installer ... oh, he's all right even if I did commit murderous acts
to his being in my mind.
Keep smiling and stay well while I get this thing up and running again.
Sharon
Footnote: This is a brand new machine and with it came manuals (on-line)
which I had not had a reason to look at. Lo and behold! Complete
instructions for installing additional drives to the machine (with pictures,
no less). So I am going to TAKE the time to do this myself.
I hope you all have a good week. It's looks like Santa is going to bring me
a tape backup as an early Christmas present.
:) :)
I uploaded some photographs taken of the Steenbergen-Clendenin Cemetery in
Gallipolis Ferry, Mason Co., WV. They were taken in October 1998. You can
get to them from my William Clendenin page by clicking on the link "William's
Grave" at
http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Estates/3443/clendenin_william.html. The
monuments are on page

This link may work for some:

They are photographs so they may take a few minutes to load. If you would
like to download and use the pictures, please let me know. I would like to
add a paragraph to each picture and will do so if someone will please send one
to me directly.
(Geocities is getting slower and they are increasing their adds, so I may be
looking elsewhere for a web page--but I'd have to pay for it.)

Hi Sharon and et al.
I saw your e-mail concerning William Clendening from Ireland and
the question you posed as to his parentage. This a subject a little
closer to my research of genealogy as there is a possible
relationship to William of Castle.
My research indicates that if William was probably born in the
1590's. He is mentioned in the Register of the Great Seal, Vol VI
(1614 I believe), this probably indicates that he was of age. It would
make him rather aged to be marrying and having children in the
1670's. To my understanding and supposition the above would
suggest there is a missing generation or two.
Adam, the father of Richard and Bessie, may be the same Adam
who married a Rebecca Bennet and may have gone to Ireland and
settled in Queen's County near Mountrath or Mountmellick. I
mention Adam because it appears he fits somewhere in the
scheme of things yet I am not certain as to how. He is possibly a
son of William of Castle.
G.T. mentions Alexander Clindenin in Killyleagh was a teacher and
a master of a school at Mountmellick. This indicates that he may
have known family there.
We have verified G.T.'s notes and have found several missing
children. Most of the material he used is available at University of
Guelph library here in Ontario. It has the best Scottish collection
of material outside of Scotland.
If you wish to discuss this further please let me know and we can
pass on information as best as possible.
Steve Clendenan.
P.S.
The descendants of this family immigrated to Canada and settled
in Prince Edward County, Ontario in 1821.
The following is a 1905 letter to the editor of the West Virginia
Historical Magazine. I'm sorry I don't have the volume or page numbers, etc.
Virginia
WHO WAS MRS. GEORGE CLENDENIN?
Editor of West Virginia Historical Magazine:
In your interesting number for July, 1904, in an article on the Clendenins,
page 191, the author states that Jemima, the wife of George Clendenin, was
said to be the sister of Thomas Ewing of Ohio.
I wish to correct the inference from that statement, for I presume the
author would not publish all the said to bes that she has heard and is
giving weight to this tradition of publishing it.
There is only one Thomas Ewing, of Ohio, unless some qualifying phrase is
used. His life, to a longer or shorter extent, is published in every general
biography and the impossibility of the statement could easily have been
ascertained. He was born December 28, 1789. His father, St. George Ewing,
was born in 1754, eight years after George Clendenins birth, according to
the article in question.
While Georges wife might have been younger than himself, she was many
years older than any of the Thomas Ewings sisters, for in the year 1796,
when your article states, that George Clendenin visited his married daughter
in Marietta, Thomas Ewings eldest sister was but fifteen and was not
married for some years later. His eldest niece was born in 1810. Thomas
Ewings grand-children are not ignorant of his family, either near or
remote, and there was neither aunt, grand-aunt, nor cousin, nor any relative
on this side of the water, who ever married a Clendenin.
The probable explanation of the mistaken association is to be found in the
interesting article contributed by Mr. A. E. Ewing, of Grand Rapids, when
ancestors were associated with the romantic period of Virginia history and
were connected by marriage with the Clendenins.
Thomas Ewing was born in Ohio County, Va., but was taken to Ohio as an
infant; and his sole connection with the State, matrimonial or otherwise,
was his boiling salt there in 1812-14 to procure a means for a college
education.
Yours very truly,

On 12 October Marsha asked about the burials in Gallipolis Ferry, Mason
County, WV cemetery ( The Steenbergen-Clendenin Cemetery). I visited and
photographed this place several weeks ago. The cemetery is on a beautiful
grassy knoll near the Ohio River and very well maintained with a few recent
burials. Nearby is the Clendenin community center and Philosopher's House log
cabin. My notes are from Violet Machir's work and follow:

Hi everyone,
I am back to trying to scope out the parentage of William Glendinning who
died in Co. Down in 1764.
Okay, Clindining said in The House of Glendonwyn that the William who died
in 1764 was the son of a William Glendinning who Clindining said was born c
1614. He did not have information on a marriage for this William. We know
that he was born 1596 or later, because in 1595 his supposed father's
estate was entailed, all except for the holdings at Langholm; they appear
to have been set aside for William who became known as William of Castle.
If this William was born 1614 he would have been on legal age (21) in 1635.
He is supposed to have died c 1684 or so at Castle. He is supposed to have
had a friend from his military days, a John Cranston, living at Castle.
There is a record of a James Glendining marrying a Janet Cranston 03 Aug
1676.
During the time that the sons of William Glendenning,listed below, were
being baptized, there were two other adult males whose children were being
baptized at the same parish: Adam (Besse, 22 Sep 1672; Richard, 22 Oct
1676) and a John. There is a marriage between a John and Janet Murry 09 Jan
1679. Children baptized at the same parish, probably of John & Janet Murry
are John, 08 Jul 1679; Jean, 07 Oct 1680; Isabel, 24 Jan 1682; John, 11 Mar
1683; Janet, 06 Jul 1684.
The William Glendenning (below) who married Margaret Glendinning in 1670
could conceivably be a son of the above William.
William Glendenning m. Margaret Glendinning 1670
Children: Andrew Glendenning, bap 5 Apr 1671
John Glendenning, bap 30 Mar 1673
Thomas Glendenning, bap 22 Apr 1677
William Glendenning, bap 16 May 1680
HERE IS MY SUPPOSITION:
William, b c 1596/1614, married and had the following sons:
John, m 1679? Born c 1654-1659
Andrew
Thomas
James, m 1676, born c 1651-1656
Adam, m c 1671/72?, born c 1646-1651
William, m 1670, born 1645-1650?
We know there was a John, Andrew, and a Thomas living at Castle as they are
listed as witnesses to the baptisms of William Glendenning's children.
Can someone out there look at this information and let me know what you
think.
