I am looking for a George Clevenger born in England in 1600. He died in England in 1654. His wife was Sarah and she was born in England in 1603. I am a descendant of George that is in my Spencer-Adkins line. I believe the closest I have is Polly Clevenger as my great-great-great grandmother or possibly 4th great grandmother. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you. Diana
