I just received a list of descendants of the Clendenon-Henry marriages (Tennessee).
Are there any living male Clendenons from these two marriages out there who would be willing to test to establish the bloodline DNA signatures of these two men?
Let me know.

Hello,
I was contacted by the Henry Y-DNA project coordinator. She was telling me that two Henry sisters married Clendenin brothers in Jefferson Co., TN in the mid-1800s.
If you are descended from one of these marriages and will contact me, I will give you her name and email address. She has that Henry line back to about 1734.

Hello all,
I received an email today from the editor of Dubh Ghlase, the Douglas clan newsletter.
He received an emailed story which he wants to serialize in the newsletter but through an unfortunate computer glitch has lost the name of the individual who submitted it to him. This occured some time in the past year.
The story was written by a James Archibald Gendinning of Celina, Texas. He was born in 1869 and died in 1943. His wife died earlier and the story was written at Christmas 1942.
If you are the person who submitted this document please contact me. Glendinning was descended from the marriage of Agnes Glendinning to James Murray of Conheath who assumed the name, Glendinning, and the title to preserve them. I have a brief family tree of this union.
If you are descended from this Glendinning family I would like to have Y-DNA testing done. It might, hopefully, help us sort out the divergent haplotypes which have shown up already in our project.
Thank you,
Sharon
There was an obituary for Maxwell Murray Clendenen in the Knoxville, TN News
Sentinel this past week. He was 87 years old - born February 1, 1919 in
Cherokee County, NC and was the son of E.B. and Mary Texas Clendenen. He
was preceded in death by his son Michael Clendenen, parents, and brothers
Fred Clendenen, Wad Clendenen and sister Maude Clendenen Cox.
Does anyone know who this Maxwell Murray Clendenen descends from? The
spelling of his name is the same as my family here in East Tennessee but I
have never heard of him and wondered what "branch" he is from. Also if
anyone would like the complete obituary, I would be happy to scan.
