and Hannah Ford (daughters); John Farr (son by former marriage)
QUESTION: Does anyone have photocopies of these wills? I'm not looking for
an abstract or extract but a copy of the full testamentary document.
Can anyone identify Isabell Clendenin who is listed here in Orange County?
Can anyone identify Matthew Clendenning in Iredell County?

Counties:
001 - Alamance County: Formed 1849 from Orange County. There has been no
significant loss of either recorded or original wills of the county.
054 - Iredell County: Formed 1788 from Rowan County. In 1854 fire destroyed
most of Statesville, the county seat, but will books and most of the
original wills survived. Surviving original wills appear to have been copied
into the first 275 pages of Will Book 1 about 1810: thereafter wills appear
to have been recorded as they were proved. As of June 1, 1986, surviving
original proved to 1870 were in the State Archives; original wills after
that date were in the custody of the Iredell County clerk of superior court.
073 - Orange County: Formed 1752 from Johnston, Bladen and Granville
counties. Recording of wills began as early as 1757. According to tradition,
when the British army approached Hillsborough in 1781 records of the county
were buried in the woods a few miles away. As a result, some were reportedly
destroyed. The books in which wills were recorded appear to be complete,
although may of the early original wills are missing. As of May 1, 1986,
Orange County wills probated through 1855 were in the State Archives; all
others probated after 1855 were in the custody of the county clerk of
superior court. In a few instances, wills bearing dates after 1855 that were
not probated are also in the State Archives.
099 - Wake County: Formed 1771 from Johnston, Cumberland, and Orange
counties. Recording of wills began with the organization of the county.
Wills were entered into record books that were initially identified by
letters. By 1836 Book Y was filled and the county then began using double
letters to identify will books. By 1875 the identification of will books had
reached the double letters KK. At some time later, the record books were
copied and renumbered with numbers 1-35. Record Books B and C were combined
into Record Book 2 at the time of copying. After 1875 wills were registered
in will books that were identified by letters.
"AR" in the original column - indicates that the original will or a copy is
in the North Carolina State Archives, Raleigh.
Hello everyone,
It has been a rough four weeks that I have been at home. I came down with a
cold that began to sound like the pneumonia I had last summer. It seems to
be okay now but the sinuses are going nuts with all the lovely spring things
in the air.
I, of course, can not stay out of my flower beds which is not helping
matters but I live to see my flowers bloom so I enjoy them as much as I can.
I've also had my upper teeth pulled and due to a lack of time for fittings
etc., and my job which requires me to enunciate carefully the new plate was
put into place just after the pulling. My mouth is extremely sore - think
bear with a toothache. Doing what I can to endure this.
I am also on my way out of town on Monday 4/3 for basically six weeks. I am
in Maryland for two weeks, come home, and then fly out to Philadelphia for
two weeks and then straight to Pittsburgh for two weeks. I'll be teaching
two different classes while I'm on the road and I have been trying to make
sure that all of my lesson plans are updated, etc.
In other words, besides the health problems I have been extremely busy. I
apologize for not having any more time than I have had to update the
websites. Hope you will bear with me. I'm hoping to get some things done
this weekend.
I think I have figured out how to have my email forwarded automatically from
this machine to the one that I travel with (a work computer). But please
understand that I will not have any reference materials with me and won't be
able to answer general or, for that matter, specific questions.
Have a good Spring
Sharon
Hi Cousins,
I have a photographer friend in TN who is willing to take headstone photos of the Clendenin Cemeteries along with any locations that they are buried. Can anyone help me in TN who knows where the major cemeteries are located where the Clendenin's are buried.
It would be greatly appreciated.

There is an L.K. CLENDENON, photographer, listed in the 1873 Bushnell's Des
Moine City Directory. L.K. does not appear in any existing Directories
available to me prior or after this date. L.K. was born in Ohio. Does

Could those of you who are Clendenning (James) and Bledsoe (Elizabeth
"Betsy") please contact me giving your line of descent?
I have some Bledsoe information from the TN CD including information on
Betsy's step-father, Nathaniel Parker.
Thanks,
Sharon
Could this be Lewis Kasooth Clendenon, son of Isaac and Mary Ann
(Barnes) Clendenon? Lewis appears with his parents in the 1850 and 1860
censuses in Morgan County, Ohio. The 1850 census gives his age as 3
years, but _Billy and Me_ by Chester L Clendenon, states that his
birthdate was 23 Jun 1845.
Isaac, father of Lewis Kasooth Clendenon was son of Isaac and Hannah
(Worrall) Clendenon. You can see my listing of the descendants of Isaac
and Hannah at http://www.netins.net/showcase/treadway/genealogy/index.html

Sandy and others,
This was a direct quote from one of the new CDs. I copied it verbatim and
only picked up on it because of "(Mrs) Ann Clendenning. I cannot vouch for
the accuracy of the material -- just reported what I found.

I have a question on Rodgers family.
I have a Freda Clendenen Rodgers in my line. She was daughter of Berton
Thomas Clendenen son of Thomas Gory Clendenen. I am not sure what her
husband's name was but I wondered if he may be related to John Rodgers. So
cousins can any one tell me what Freda's husband's name was too?
Cyndy
Would those of you who are descended from William of Orange Co., NC please
contact me? I have a gentleman who is descended from William and who may
have found the original Bible.
Thank you,
Sharon
PS: Please tell me what your line of descent is. Thanks.

I had four brave cousins decide to try this. I so hope this works because
the pages print out beautifully in Word. You have a photo image of the page
from the book it came from.
As soon as they report back to me, I'm going to make some changes in the way
I've put it together in each file and we'll be ready to start sending these
out.
PRAY!
Sharon
Okay, here's the situation. When I tried to include the images as part of
the message it would not open it.
I have put the Clendenin information into separate files which correspond to
the CDs from which the information was gathered. I THINK I can send them as
attachments.
However, I am not allowed by Rootsweb regulations to send out attachments to
the entire mailing list. And I know that some of you don't like to receive
attachments, so what I propose is this.
If one brave soul out there will respond I will reply and attach one file to
my reply. When they receive it they can open it and see if the material is
readable. If so, then I'll know I've got it put together right.
If you then want the material from one of the CDs you will have to
specifically ask for the file.
Let's see if this will work.
Sharon
Jimmy,
I made the assumption that it was the same. My reasoning was the fact that
the notation (Mrs) had been included. I reasoned that the compiler was
trying to indicate that John Rodgers wife, Ann, had been the wife of a
Clendenning previously.
If anyone thinks different or has a list of John and Ann's kids can you post
it please?
Thanks,
Sharon

I discovered, quite by a fluke, that it is possible to access the library
card catalog of the LDS through their website. So I went looking for
Clendenin in any spelling expecting to see the titles of those books that we
already know about.
I did see them, but I also found these listed:
Fauskee, LaRayne Penny Plum. The affinity and consaquinity[sic] of my
"swans."
deFrance, Irving A. DeFrance family record: family of John Henry DeFrance
(ca 1728- 1793), a Huguenot, from Flanders, France to Pennsyslvania,
Dauphin, Landcaster [sic] and Northumberland Counties, Pa., ca 1740.
Private, 1st New York Regiment, Rev. War, 1779-1783.
MacRae, Lawrence. Descendants of Duncan & Ann (Cameron) MacRae of Scotland
and North Carolina.
Miller, George F. Descendants of Ulrich Muller of Zeibruchen, Germany, c
1698-1900s, compiled from various sources.
Woldt, Grace Shaw. Family records of Arthur F. Shaw and Josephine M. Moore:
including Karl Hale Dixon and Clarice Clendenin Shaw, ancestors and
descendants.
Midjaas, Mildred B. Family Records.
Wilson, Larry M. Genealogy of the family of Deaton.
Shriver, Samuel S. History of the Shriver family and their connections,
1684-1888.
Chew, Dorothy Clendenin. John Chewe: some descendants in Virginia, Maryland
and Ohio.
Andrews, Alfred S. Supplement to Andrews, Clapp, Stokes, Van Cleve, Wright
genealogies.
Myers, Patty Barthell. Ancestors and descendants of Lewis Ross Freeman: with
related families.
Larson, Adelaide M. The Clendening clan from 1798.
Olney, Clark W. An Olney genealogy: from Thomas Olney (1600) to Clark W.
Olney (1977).
There's a possibility that these books may be available through an
inter-library loan program through the LDS. You can do a custom search; just
click on custom search on the LDS home page.
