Still looking for Zacharias and James D. Clevenger. Zacharias married Nora Belle Perkins in 1886 in Anderson Township, Madison County, IN. I believe the moved on west to the next County, Delaware County, IN sometime in their lives. Zacharias is buried in Muncie, Delaware County - died 1926.
Did Zacharias and Nora Belle Perkins have any children?
James D. clevenger married Nora's sister, Melissa Perkins. James died 1923. Did James D. Clevenger and Melissa have any children?
thanks

Jane,
There is a wonderful article and picture of a William M. Clevenger, who was 91 in about 1937, in the Daviess County Centennial Edition, 1837-1937. I will have this book until June 30, 2001 if you would like the information. My email is kasam(a)mtayr.heartland.net.

Allen Clevenger was married to a French and Cherokee woman whose parents were a French fur trader and a Cherokee princess. Allen's son Asa married a Elizabeth Hanks. Nancy Hanks, Abraham Lincoln's mother, was Elizabeth's niece. I am a direct descendant of Asa Clevenger and his family. Hope this helped.

GEORGE M. CLEAVENGER
George M. Cleavenger, residing in Mullen, Hooker county, Nebraska, is one
of the leading and substantial citizens of that thriving town, highly
esteemed for his unswerving integrity and sterling worth.
Mr. Cleavenger was born in Hardin county, West Virginia, in 1847, and is
of English and Irish descent. His father, Thomas, was a farmer and
blacksmith, and he followed his calling in Hardin county, West Virginia, for
many years. The family moved to Ohio in 1851, remained there for about two
years, then emigrated to Iowa, settling in Union county, where they were
among the pioneers and spent several years on the frontier, our subject
growing up in that vicinity. When he reached the age of eighteen he left home
and went to Kansas, locating in Washington county. At that time the country
was full of Indians, also buffalo and other wild game, and a great deal of
his time was spent in hunting. He took up a tract of land and developed a
good farm, living there for twenty-two years. He was married while in that
region, in 1871, taking as a wife Belle Lavering, daughter of William
Lavering, an early settler in Kansas. Mrs. Cleavenger's mother was Ann
Snyder, and the former grew up and was educated in Kansas. Our subject
succeeded in accumulating a good home and farm in Kansas, but in 1888
disposed of the farm and moved to Montana, settling in Custer county, the
family driving through the country to their new location from Whitewood,
South Dakota. As soon as they reached Montana he took up a desert claim and
began to open a ranch, starting at once in the stock business. His ranch was
situated one hundred and twenty miles from the county seat, Miles City, which
was also his nearest trading point, and his nearest postoffice was a distance
of forty miles. Mr. Cleavenger succeeded well in the ranching business, and
remained on the place for ten years, then came to Nebraska, settling in
Hooker county. This trip was also made by team, they being on the road for
forty days, camping out along the way, sleeping under their wagon and cooking
their meals over camp fires. As soon as he arrived here Mr. Cleavenger bought
land and began to start a ranch, also farmed some from the beginning, and has
been following the same work for the past ten years. He deals principally in
horses, raising the animals for breeding and market purposes, and is
considered one of the best judges of horses in the region, well known all
over this county as an authority on all matters pertaining to horseflesh.
Mr. Cleavenger's family consists of seven children, who are named as
follows: Elvery B., Carrie May, Georgia, Frank, Charles, Grace and Estelline.
Our subject has always taken an active part in local affairs and is known
throughout his locality for his liberal views on all matters of public
interest. He was elected county commissioner of Hooker county in 1899 and
served in that capacity for five years.
