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
You may know this but I would try to find them in the 1870 census. They were
probably living with their parents then. If no luck there, try the 1880
census for a clue of their birthplace.

Hi,
Just thought I would take a chance and see if there is any new members with the surname spelling CLENDENING who have roots in Indiana?
I traced back to Columbus, Indiana Bartholomew County to Henry Frank and Mary Alice Ames CLENDENING. Frank born in or around 1853 and Mary Alice 1861. (Do not know actual date or location) Their wedding date---February 3, 1878
I sure would like to go back further, or even find bros and sis of Frank, let alone his parents.
Thank You,

http://users.zoominternet.net/~midkiff/History.html
at the above website you're find this fun anecdote about George Clendenin:
On reaching the rivers of the great Kanawha, the supply of food gave out and
it was then that the lad (Spencer Midkiff) began to hunger and worn out from
the long tiresome journey. Nevertheless, his determination to find a
better place and his ambition to succeed in life, encouraged him to continue
his journey and to not give up. On going down the Kanawha to a point six
miles east of the present site of Charleston, night again overcame the lad who
was very much alarmed when he perceived that he was being pursued by a large
number of timber wolves. Young Midkiff took to his heels as fast as he could,
but was soon overtaken by the angry beasts, and being forced to climb a tree,
narrowly escaping death the wolves kept the boy treed al night until the sun
peeped over the hill tops and then proceeded on his journey reaching a point
now near the present site of Charleston on the east side of the river. To
his surprise, he came upon the home of a white settler who came from the
Green Brier Valley and had settled there and his name being Willis Clendenin,
a possible relative of George Clendenin, one of the founders of the
Capitol City. Here the lad enjoyed the hospitality of his new acquaintance for
a few days, feasting on corn cakes, dried pumpkins and venison. The
meeting proved to be an interesting one and one that both parties enjoyed very
much. Young Midkiff and Clendenin told each other their adventures and
discussed their plans, each boasting of their future plans. Clendenin laughingly
said that he had been quite fortunate at his new settlement and that he
had purchased his cabin home and a large boundary of land from a friendly
Indian, for which he gave an old flint lock gun and a bushel of corn meal that
he had made by pounding the Indian corn, and it was no trouble to go out
and find plenty of game which served two purposes, food and bedding. Young
Midkiff lodged with Clendenin some three or four days, sleeping on a huge
bear-skin at night, which was spread upon the floor, and eating of the
wholesome food, which seemed to be plentiful, to which he was awarded a hearty
welcome until he became rested and ready to proceed on his journey. He then,
started across the mountain in the direction of the Guyan Valley and after two
days journey reached a farm house of an old settler, T. J. McComas, or Jeff, as
he was commonly known. Here the lad stopped and applied for a job, which he
secured upon condition that he would be obedient and a dilligent worker.

Hello,
Have you checked the mailing list archives?
http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/CLENDENIN/1999-07http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/CLENDINEN/1980-07
Please notice the difference in the spelling of the surname. Not a big
difference but there are so many ways to spell the name.
I don't remember whether there has been conversation here or not but there
is a very good chance of it.
From my database I have the following:
James Clendenning, b unk; d 10 Mar 1820, Sumner Co., TN m 10 Jun 1789,
Sumner Co., TN to Elizabeth "Betsy" Bledsoe, b c 1768; d c 1814, Sumner Co.,
TN. Both are buried in the Patterson Cemetery, Sumner Co., TN.
I have the following children listed for James & Betsy:
Anthony b c 1790
Rachel Eugenia Clendenning, b c 1790 m William Bledsoe Patterson, 1812
Sumner
James b c 1794
Martha A. Patsy Clendenning, b 20 Apr 1798, Sumner m James H. Patterson 1816
Sumner
Eliza Clendenning, b c 1799
Thomas Clendenning, b 06 Apr 1800; d 10 May 1834 Sumner m Elizabeth Frazor 5
Jul 1824, Sumner
Sally Clendenning, b c 1801
Perhaps someone else will be able to fill in the blanks for you.

There is no attribution for this website. I hate to dispute someone's
genealogy unless I know who they are and where they got the information.
William Clendenin, son of Charles Clendenin, was born, 23 May 1753, VA and
died 16 Feb 1828, Mason Co., VA/WV
He married Margaret Handley, dau of John Handley, c 1783. Margaret was born
10 May 1762 and outlived William, dying in March 1835 in Mason Co., VA.
Their oldest daughter, Elizabeth, b 28 Aug 1785, probably Greenbrier Co., VA
married John Bing, c Nov 1803.
If anyone else has information about William's family will you please share
it? It would be nice to find a living Clendenin male descendant who could be
DNA tested.

I finally was able to run down a copy of the Annals of Bath County and it
includes the following regarding the Clendennin's:
"Archibald Clendennin lived on the John Walker survey, and was buried there
is 1749. He left half the farm to his son, John, then about five years old,
who later went to East Tennessee. The boy had a sister, Margaret, and James
Burnside was a half brother. Archibald, Jr., a son by the first wife, moved
to Greenbrier and was murdered by Indians in 1763. His wife was a Ewing.
Five of his six children were also killed, but the wife escaped to the
Cowpasture. George and Charles seem to have been other sons. The latter
gave his name to the capital of West Virginia."
From the Annals of Bath County, by Oren F. Morton, page 192.
Land surveys mentioned:
Clendennin, Archibald - 195 acres, Cow Pasture, near mouth of Stuart's
Creek, patent 1750, Thomas Thompson.
Clendennin, Archibald - 130 acres, adjoining his other tract, patent 1750,
Thomas Thompson.
From the Annals of Bath County, by Oren F. Morton, page 28.
Walker, John - 340 acres Cow Pasture below Daugherty, patent 1759, John &
Archibald Clendennin.
From the Annals of Bath County, by Oren F. Morton, page 32.
Clendennin, Thomas, survey of 1754, 68 acres, Warm Springs Run, patent 1757,
sold 1797, by Thomas, Jr. (son) to Anthony Mustoe and William Chambers for
$150 Virginia pounds.
From the Annals of Bath County, by Oren F. Morton, page 33.
The Dickenson settlement may be considered as extending along the Cowpasture
from the gorge below Fort Lewis into the bend at Griffith's Knob, and as
including the lower course of Stuart's Creek and the occupied part of
Porter's Mill Creek. The more conspicuous of the earlier names associated
with this belt are Abercrombie, Beard, Clendennin, Coffey, Crockett,
Daugherty, Dickenson, Donally, Douglass, Gay Gillispie, Graham, Hicklin,
Insminger, Kelso, Kincaid, Laverty, Madison, Mayse, McCay, McClung,
McDannald, Millroy, Mitchell, Muldrock, O'Hara, Porter, Ramsey, Scott,
Simpson, Sitlington, Sloan, Stuart, Thompson, Waddell, Walker, Watson.
From the Annals of Bath County, by Oren F. Morton, page 36.
Referring to remarking surveys it gives the following:
About 1768, Samuel Hamilton marked for the following men between his house
and James Beard's: Andrew Sitlington, John Dickenson, William Sprowl, John
Donally, Hugh Coffey, Joseph Watson, Andrew Muldrock, William Daugherty,
John Clendennin, and William Mayse.
From the Annals of Bath County, by Oren F. Morton, page 65-66.
Personal property books of Bath County of 1872 are the oldest that have been
preserved. It lists the following:
List by Captain George Frazier, Cowpasture, below Botetourt Line (1783):
Clendening, John - 1 slave, 8 horses, 17 cattle.
From the Annals of Bath County, by Oren F. Morton, page 116.
There may be more references to Clendening's in this book that I haven't got
to yet. I am descended from John Clendening, mentioned above, that left to
go to East Tennessee.
Kamy Gamble
I believe my James and Margaret (Anderson) Clendenin family lived in the
vicinity of Cowpasture. I base that on the fact that People James associated
with lived near there.

While some of the above is not accurate....Archibald Clendenning Jr was
killed in the 1763 incident. The sentence about William Daugherty's
wife Elizabeth being a heroine is EXTREMELY interesting to me....I hope
that there will be more information about it somewhere. My own
Clendenning family may have been in the Cowpasture Valley in this time
frame (I don't have that in my head and don't have time to do any
digging right now). It is possible that their escape from a similar
fate from Archibald's might have been due to the bravery of Elizabeth
Daugherty.

Hello,
In 1785 a Genet McCowan signed her will and then in 1792 added a codicil. The one witness who signed both the will and the codicil was a Chas. Clindennin. Also as witnesses to the will were Wm. Clindennin, and Thomas Bradshaw.
She had two daughters: Jean, wife of John Johnston and Agness, wife of John O'Donal (sic).
Does anyone have any information on this Chas. Clindennin? Is he the brother of Wm. Clindennin and/or brother in law of Thomas Bradshaw?
Or is he the son of Wm. Clendenin and his Graham wife? Or perhaps a nephew?
There is no Charles mentioned in Wm. Clendenin's will, written in 1790 and yet this particular Charles signed the McCowan codicil in 1792.
Any help would be appreciated.

January 2005 I viewed film #1870170 in my local Latter Day Saints Family
History Library. It is the Personal Property Tax list of 1792 for
Montgomery County, Va.
I had ordered the film because I believe that my Jacob Elliott may have
moved his family to Montgomery County, Virginia temporarily because of a
close call during the Revolutionary War events in NC. Jacob was a
Quaker and it is my belief that he was almost shot for refusing to join
the battles on the Tory side. My research has shown that his family did
not want to be a part of the Revolution at all--their Quaker beliefs
discouraged or even forbid their taking part in the war. He and his
family are found on several lists in Randolph County, NC refusing to
take oaths and refusing to pay taxes to support a war that they did not
believe in.
I made very sketchy notes....mainly just listing the names of people
that I recognized or surnames that I was interested in. As background,
Montgomery had been an enormous county in 1780 reaching from the NC
border up into what is now WV. But in 1790, Wythe had been carved out
of Montgomery making it much smaller, but still much larger than it is
today. While it did not touch the NC border any more, it still reached
up into what I would now call the WV coalfields. It was bordered by
Greenbrier County, Kanawha, Botetourt, Wythe and Henry and Franklin.
And by the tax of 1792 it was still the same size as in 1790, but the
other counties touching it had broken into more counties...Giles County
is formed in 1806 out of three counties....one of them is Montgomery.
So Many of the stories that have things happening in Giles County could
have been families who were already living on the land in 1792 in
Montgomery who would call their county Giles 14 years later.
I would like to see how many of the people that I jotted down we can
identify. If you have buddies on other mail lists, feel free to include
them. I'll add what I know about any of them as well....and if you find
errors in my assumptions, I consider it a favor to be corrected.

Charles Hensley
Robert Hensley
George Martin
John Martin
Isaac Elliott--I don't have an Isaac Elliott in my data base, but other
researchers say that my Jacob and his brother Abraham had a brother
named Isaac who died young. Perhaps Abraham had a son that he named
Isaac....perhaps none of these Elliott's belong to me...
Moses Justice
Chrisley Hansley
Patrick Morrison--could easily have been father-in-law of Soloman
Hensley (Soloman is said to have married Elizabeth Hensley daughter of
Patrick Henry Morrison b. circa 1750)--
Any ideas to help me with this tax list? Marsha in WV

Subject: Re: Anybody Know Who This David R. Clendenin Is?
David Ramsay Clendenin is my 3rd Gr Grandfather (and I am a cousin to Doug Osgood who also replied).
I wanted to add that R G Clendenning that you found in the census record is really: Robert Gardner Clendenin, David's brother.
Robert left PA in 1836 and ended up in Lyndon, Whiteside Co., IL. where he became and served many years as Sheriff of that town. There is extensive material written about him.
Like Doug reported, we do not have any proof yet as to where their grandfather John Clendenin (b. 1733) was born but probably Scotland and imigrated to America through Ireland. We do not know and have not confirmed what Clendenin line they are from, if with any of the "brothers" that most of you are connected to.
Our line is:
John Clendenin b. 1733, m. Margaret Steele
David Clendenin b. 1781, m. Mary Patterson
David Ramsay b. 1830, m. Sophia D. Ford
Paul Clendenin etc
Elizabeth Clendenin Osgood etc....
etc.. I don't include these later lines and info since most of you won't have an interest.
But, if anyone does have any info on this line of ours, please please help us!!! We need to find other descendants that might have new info to share.
I cannot remember how to post this message to the Clendenin-L Rootsweb page so everyone can see it, can you help?
Many thanks,
Linda Mesinar, shelbygma(a)aol.com
David Ramsay Clendenin is my 2nd great-grandfather. He was born 24 Jun 1830
in Little Britain, PA. Died 5 Mar 1895 Oneida, IL. Married Sophia Diadema
Ford 15 Feb 1855, b. 23 Nov 1836 in Pultney, NY.
David Ramsay was the 8th child of David Clendenin and Mary Patterson. David
b. 29 Jul 1781, d. 22 Aug 1849. Mary b. 17 Apr 1789, d. 1 May 1848, They were
married 11 Apr 1811.
David was the 10th child of John Clendenin and Margaret Steele. John b.
1733, d. 12 Jun 1796 in Oxford Township, Chester Co. PA. Margaret b. 10 May 1739,
d. 1 Feb 1813. They were married Abt. 1758.
John may have immigrated from Ireland to Lancaster, PA in 1746. We have not
been able to determine who his Father and Mother are. Family tradition is
that he was the brother of Charles and Archibald of WV. But the dates do not
seem to support this.
The military history of David Ramsay Clendenin is in "History of the Eighth
Cavalry Regiment Illinois Volunteers, During the Great Rebellion" by Abner
Hard, M. D. Press of Morningside Bookshop Dayton, Ohio 1984.
Doug Osgood
Military documents pertaining to this military trial (it was considered an
act of war) list him as Lt Col David Ramsey Clendenen of the 8th Illinois
Calvary. He was born in Pennsylvania in 1830 and is listed in the 1850 census in
the home of R G Clendenning. I do not know who R G Clendenning is, but suspect
he may be an uncle or other relative because of the way the census is listed.
1850 Census Whiteside, District 37 Illinois
R G Clendenning 38 Farmer Pa
Hannah 37 NY
Francis (Son) 9 Ill
William (Son) 5 Ill
