"Adam Clendennin b. 1740 Augusta Co., Virginia" both born to parents

This Adam Clendennin b. 1740 Augusta Co. VA was NOT the son of Charles
Clendennin & Mary Ann Patterson and he most likely was NOT born in Augusta Co. VA.
Just wanted to clear that up.
DNA proves he was not the son of either Charles or Archibald Clendennin (who
both show up in Augusta Co. in 1743 records) and I have found nothing to
indicate that this Adam Clendennin was in the Augusta Co. VA area before 1774.
Other than that, I know a whole lot more about where he wasn't than where he
was before then.

James Clendenning was my grandmothers father in Broome County in New York
His wife was Marjorie, I don't know where he came from, perhaps PA or where
he went, I cannot find much of anything. Polly Clendenning was one of his
children.

Looking for information on James Clendenning. Am guessing he was born about 1750 to 1755 as he was in the Revolution on the Tory side.
Two Clendenning women in my tree - daughters/sister or nieces. Catherine, age unknown but married a James May b. 1794 so most likely a daughter and Eva May Clendenning b. 1768 d. 1797who was the first wife of Peter May, b. 1765 Coxsackie, NY.
Found a few Clendennins on the Virginia Muster Rolls, but no idea if they are connected. Any help or suggestions gratefully appreciate.

> DESCRIPTION: Nathan W. Murphy, Ph.D. candidate at the University of Utah,

> NOTE: The approximately 10,000 immigrant servants currently in the

> PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS:
> - Three search engines: SIMPLE SEARCH (queries all text in database),
> ADVANCED SEARCH (search by any of more than 50 fields in database), and
> LETTER SEARCH (browse through lists of servants arranged by the first
> letter of their surname). The search engines are equipped with SOUNDEX,
> which retrieves servants with surnames that sound alike, i.e. Murphy,
> Morphew, Murfee, Murfew, Murfey, Murphew, and Murphey all come back as
> possible matches with the surname "Murphy."
> - LEARNING CENTER, includes a copy of Murphy's ARTICLE "Origins of
> Colonial Chesapeake Indentured Servants: American and English Sources,"
> published in
> the March 2005 edition of National Genealogical Society Quarterly, which
> provides tips for tracing the immigrant origins of English indentured
> servants; GLOSSARY of terms associated with the practice of indentured
> servitude; extensive list of LAWS from Colonial Virginia pertaining to
> indentured servants; lengthy BIBLIOGRAPHY identifying sources Murphy has
> used and hopes to use to build this database (includes references to 12
> personal accounts of immigrant servants); and a list of LINKS that will
> interest researchers of immigrant servants.

> Comments and suggestions are welcome.

> Mr. Murphy would love to hear more about any of your ancestors who came to
