Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
USgenweb also has for the two oldest (1753) listed on these tax lists from sawdustsuzy info on wills, tombstone inscription etc.
My computer at home is down right now, but as I remember the James Clendenin is born about 1718 died in 1799. There is a will listing his children and wife Isobel. Her grave is near his in Octara Presbyterian Graveyard. He had three sons listed in his will, he was to have had a brother John also. Though I know that is not verified.
The Isaac is a Quaker with son Robert. Wills for both are available as well as Quaker records all on USGENWEB.
I think the Alex moves from Sadsbury to Peter's township in Cumberland later on. Unless there is another Alex???
I know I have no information on the William listed in Sadsbury.

Hi everyone,
Diabetes, arteriosclerosis, and a tendency to cancer runs in both my
parents' families. We would never had known about the diabetes had it not
been for my getting a copy of my grandfather's death certificate for lineage
purposes.
Since my mother died from kidney failure and congestive heart failure, both
of which can be attributed to the diabetes, I am really getting kind of
persnickety about making sure that my children and grandchildren have
information on the physical genetics from our family tree.
I received this this morning and wanted to pass it along. We all should have
this type of information at hand.

This one is on the two pages following that last one. It more or less
starts out the same but seems to be just as confusing. I can't even tell if it is
just a rewording of the one preceeding it or if it is dealing with another
tract of land. I wouldn't take offense if anyone out there just assumes I'm
dumb as a post and wants to take the time to enlighten me as to what exactly
has happened here and/or what is happening with this deed. Before you come to
any conclusions though, you may want to wade your way through the other deeds
and transfers I am posting starting with the earliest date first. Please
keep in mind that when you start to notice the confusion and headache setting
in as you try to read these that it's nothing compared to trying to decipher
and transcribe them.
I am attempting to underline some of the parts of the deeds that seem to
have actual, if confusing, information in them.

Georganne,
Go to this website for more information on this company: http://blacksheep.rootsweb.com/shame/morphcorp.htm
I know Jeff Scism who operates the Black Sheep organization. He is a respected genealogist and operator of one of the Indiana Gen Web sites.
It would appear that this is just one more SCAM.

Have any of you heard of this or received this letter? I wonder who is publishing it and what info they have. I saw a similar book at Bill's mom's purchased awhile back and it did not contain very much that I could see. Let me know what you think and know. Hope you can read the attachment.

PSSSSST!! Don't tell anybody.................I got LUCKY! Actually I tired
of looking through those stupid, uninformative and very frustrating court
order books and decided to wander forward (and in what I thought was a different
direction), a few years and see if I could find what happened to Adam's land
in Montgomery Co. since there was no clear record of a sale or transfer of
the land after Adam & Isaac migrated to Kentucky. I had assumed that Adam's
son Robert had "absorbed" the land and then sold it as part of his own land to
Gore in 1817.
The major find in this deed is that it clearly shows for the first time on
record that the mysterious Rebecca Clendenen Coe is actually another daughter
of Adam & Winifred and also for the first time documents that Robert & Martha
(Anderson) Clendenen did in fact have a daughter Nancy Clendenen m. Philip
Ballard. Up until now the only record I had for this daughter was an
unverified family record.
Also apparent is that whoever provided the information for this deed missed
the fact that Rebecca Coe had died in 1821, Amanda Clendenen had married James
Russell (prob. 1837/38) and four of the children of Robert Clendenen had
migrated to Missouri in 1839/40. They didn't seem to be very up to date on
this record.
Wow!!!!!! Cathy, we can't thank you enough for having waded through all this
microfilm looking for the truth of the matter.
Folks, sometimes you have to keep right at it until you find the final
