John, re: CLENNEY of Anson Co. NC. Can tell you that many of the Clenney people buried in Bethel Cem., Decatur Co. TN were from Anson Co. NC or descend from Clenneys who came from Anson Co NC.
I am reserching the 2nd wife of this man:
Name: Alva Harkins "Hark" Clenney
Sex: M
Birth: 3 APR 1825 in Anson Co., NC
Death: 5 DEC 1915 in Scotts Hill, Decatur Co., TN
Burial: DEC 1915 Bethel Cemetery, Deactur Co., TN
His tombstone says that Alva came to Decatur Co. TN when he was ca 14 yrs. old from Anson Co. NC.
Alva CLENNEY married Francis E.M. GATHINGS, she is sometimes referred to as "Minerva". Minerva was born 1834 in probably Perry Co. TN. She was buried in Bethel Cem. DeCoTN. Here's where it gets interesting. Minerva's parents are believed to have come from Anson Co. NC. Speculation is that her father was John Gathings/Gathing from Anson Co. NC and her mother was probably Margery UNKNOWN Gathings ?b NC.
Maybe above info will be of some help to you.
