I have just joined the list and would like to know if there is anyone who is
trying to research the same Clintons that I am. Actually, I'm working on two
different Clinton families. My mother is descended from Richard Clinton,
for whom the town of Clinton, NC is named, through his son William Sampson
Clinton. William's son James Kenan Clinton was her great grandfather. My
father's grandmother was Teresa Clinton, whose father, Peter, emigrated to
NYC from Annagassan, Co. Louth, Ireland. Peter had a brother and sister who
emigrated to Alabama. The sister married Joseph Meighan, whose son was
Mayor of Birmingham. Do these people sound familiar to any of you? TIA,
Pam

Thanks for this info Rob. I would very much like to have whatever info
you have on the Clintons. Both in England and Ireland. My daughter
sent for an ancestry history and coat of arms, for George Clinton. It
showed he was Irish???"
Verbal family history has it that our ancestors arrived here on the
Mayflower. One of my aunts traced our history. She told all of us that
we descend from DeWitt Clinton. My g'grandfater, paternal side, was
also named George Welmond Clinton. He was born in Essex, NY. Moved to
state of Washington sometime in the 1880s, and married Cora Estelle
Ramsdell, my g'granmother. The younger George was City Manager of
Tacoma, WA., in 1892. He was a staunch Republican and lost everything
on the Presidental election in 1892. My g'g'mother left him. So far, I
have been unable to find his date of birth, or anything else about him.
I would appreciate any info, anyone might have.
Thanks.

I've never seen anything about the Clintons being "on" the Mayflower.
However, I read "somewhere" recently that the Clinton family in England
owned the company that owned the Mayflower. Perhaps, that's where the
Mayflower story came from. I'll to find the item I read concerning this
subject and post the info here.
Also, in published records (I believe in the book "McDowell Genealogy"), I
read that Charles Clinton had a ring with the family crest or coat of arms on
it. He requested that the coat of arms be carved on his gravestone, and it
was done. When it was researched, the coat of arms turned out to to be the
same one used by the Earls of Lincoln, which proves that Charles Clinton's
(who brought the colonists to Cape Cod) ancestry went back to the English
Clintons even tho his family had lived in Ireland for some time.
The book, THE MCDOWELL GENEALOG is available at the LDS library on film - has
a very good account of the Clintons and McDowells from Ireland to New York.
There is another book available at the LDS - this one on fiche. It is
ANNALS OF OUR ANCESTORS. It is quite interesting and covers the history of
the family in England.
This is a very interesting family - One of the Earls of Lincoln was /is
buried in a chapel in St. George's Hall at Windsor Castle - this is the same
St. George's hall where the fire occurred some years ago. He was buried
there at the request of the queen - this goes way back. There is also one
story about one of the Clinton men who married a woman his father did not
like - so the father cut off all funds to the son. The son wrote a letter to
the king asking him to speakd to the father - that is included in the book
ANNALS OF OUR ANCESTORS. The king did prevail upon the father to support the
son and his wife.
Happy hunting everyone!!

Hi, I am new to the list, and not sure if I am sending this to the right
place.
Hi, George. You are absolutely right. The Prez was born: William
Jefferson
Blye. His stepfather's name was Clinton. Virginia, his mother, had
another
boy, named Roger, with the stepfather. Then the stepfather adopted
Bill.
Sheila Clinton-Reed
Yes, you are correct. He was adopted.

There is a copy of the above book, written my Mr. Guy Clinton, on film with
the LDS library. Several years ago, I made a photo copy of this book. In
the section on: SOLDIER'S RECORDS PENNSYLVANIA, MARYLAND, AND NEW JERSEY,
its says:
""" Certain Warranties for land donated to soldiers for their revolutionary
service were found in the original records of the Land Office, Dept. of
Internal Affairs of the State of Pennsylvania Vo. 24, pg 201. Four hundred
acres of and in Luserne Co. were granted to each of the following Feb. 18,
1793: Peter Clinton, Joseph Clinton, Paul Clinton and Henry Clinton.
In "New Jersey in the Revolution" appear the names of Benjamin Clinton and
George Clinton who served in Capt. Waldron's troops of Light Dragoons from
Monmouth, NJ. In "The Old Records, etc.", it is also stated that George
Clinton served in Waldron's troops. Peter Clinton was a private in Captain
Imlay's Company of Dayton's Battalion of the New Jersey Forces. He enlisted
March 26, 1776 and was discharged Oct 1, 1778""
Still qoting from the same book:
""Ref. Pg. 10, William Clinton and his wife Sarah were witnesses to a baptism
in the Deerpark Dutch Reformed Church in Ulster Co. NY June 25, 1757.
Alexander Clinton, son of General James Clinton, was born at Deerpark in
1765. These facts suggest that contact if not relationship of these two
families. In the New Haven (Conn.) Vital Records we find that Wlliam, son of
Joseph Clinton, was born May 15, 1726. This would be about the time we would
expect the Pennsylavania William Clinton to be born, and as the records do
not contain any other William Clinton of this approximate age, we may
reasonably associate the two.
Another William Clinton, a weaver, reports his property for taxation in
London Grove (Avondale) Twp, Chester Co. 1765 to 1768. He is probably the
same as he who bought and sold a 200 acre tract of land in London, Britain
Twp. of the same county in 1762.
Hope this helps someone.

There is an item: JOURNAL OF THE VOYAGE OF CHARLES CINTON FROM IRELAND TO
AMERICA, 1729 can be found at:
www. frontiernet.net/~nrepard/shiplis1.html
It contains a list of the passenges, the ones who died, and the survivors,
plus some notes. Its 5 printed pages.
Joanne
This is what I found in the Chester Co. PA Tax Lists today:
CLINTON, Robert
1754 Newlin (?) Inmate
CLINTON, Archibald
1734 London Britain
CLINTON, James
1751 New London
1756 A - London Britain - Inmate
1756 B - London Britain - Inmate
1758 A. - London Britain
1758 B - London Britain - Inmate
CLINTON, Robert
1756 A. Newlin - Inmate
1756 B. Newlin - (Crossed out)
CLINTON, William
1748 - London Britain
1751 - Same
1753 - Same
1754 -
Same
1756A - Same
1756B - Same
1758A - Same (entered twice)
1758B - same
James Beaty was there from 1756- 1758 - Nantmeal
John Beaty was there from 1734-1756
Robert Beaty was there from 1751-1758
Samuel Beaty was there from 1734-1758
William Beaty was there from A748 thr 1758
Robert Beattey was there 1749/50
David Beatty was ther in 1753
James Beatty was ther ein 1754
William Beatty was there in 1737/38
David Beaty was ther efrom 1748-1758
The Beatty/Beaty's were in the towns of Wichlan(?), Nantmeal, W. Nottingham,
London Britain, Fallowfield, Caln, New London, and Sadsbury- basically the
same towns that the Clintons were in. What does "Inmate" mean??? Were
they incarcerated or in some institution???

This comes directly after the narrative that I transcribed in Digest #11. I
looked through the material I have and could find no connection to William
Jefferson CLINTON, our President.
"23rd Gen. Charles Clinton resided successively in Frederick, Washington,
and Alleghany Counties in Maryland, then in Fayette and Greene Counties, PA. He
was a Captain of Maryland Militia which participated in the Revolutionary war; he
was later (1792) Captain of the Militia in Fayette County.

Co.
until some time after 1800. 1816 he was in Jefferson Co., Ohio and 1820 he lived

daughter under 10 and one daughter under 5. He then married Hester Baxter Oct
28,
1841
7. Nancy, Mrs. William Norris
8. _________, Mrs. William Norris
9. DeWitt Clinton, of whom there is no later record.
10. William Clinton (1804-1860)
25th Gen. John Clinton, Jr., third son of John Clinton, above. He
migrated to Jefferson County, IA in 1844 and resided there until his death in
1884

8. Liddie, Mrs. Urey. She died in 1933 at age of 91.
9. Amanda, Mrs. John Aten. Her sons were Blanchard and Harley. The
former was killed in early manhood. Her daughters Mary, Carrie, Iola and Mable
married and some of them still reside in Council Bluffs, IA
10. Eliza, Mr. Aldrich.
It will be noted that pioneering and a preference for frontier life
persisted through several generations of Charles Clinton's descendents.
25th Gen. William Clinton (1804-1868) He was the fifth son of John
Clinton who settled in Ohio and died in 1838. He was a blacksmith in August Twp
of
Carroll Co. His wife Catherine was born in Maryland. The census records shows
the
following:
1. John Clinton (d. 1832) was a blacksmith

on her
father's side was a descendant of General Israel Putnam. They resided first
in Davis

both died.
1. Mattie, Mrs. Jacob Branstine They had a large family. She now

5. Phoebe May (1869-1904)
6. Della Elizabeth (1871-1904) She became Mrs. Jesse George
7. Ella Iola, Mrs. Isaac Greer She lives in Seattle, WA"
This is the end of the "Other Branches". I have the generations of Clintons
from
which the Governor of NY and DeWitt Clinton, Father of the Erie Canal, are a
part.
I transcribed this exactly as it was written. If something doesn't seem
right, I probably can't help. In some cases, you can guess where the author
found
her sources, but she never actually listed her sources. It appears these
CLINTONS spread out all over the country, from CT, MD, PA, SC to Ohio and points
west. They seem like a very interesting family. Jane

Well!!
According to Howard Clinton in his book on the Clinton family, the father.
of Walter, John Henry, and Thomas Clinton was Henry Pelham Clinton - Howard
didn't have the name of Henry Pelham's wife.
Thje parents of Henry Pelham Clinton were supposed to have been William and
Elizabeth Clinton. Howard also claims William S. and Elizabeth were also the
parents of Richard Clinton of Sampson Co. NC. (There is some difference of
opinion as to who the parents of the Sampson Co. NC Richard Clinton were).
Per Howard Clinton:
"Walter (above) was born ca 1756, was the eldest son and served in the Amer.
Rev. After the war, he took up a land grant in what is now Jackson Co. TN,
and settled there with his two brothers, John Henry and Thomas. No record
found for a wife or children were found for Walter, but it is very likely
that Walter married in SC and taht one or moe of their children were born
there. It is believed that he had a son named William B. Clinton.
Unfortunately, Howard Clinton doesn't quote any sources in his book, so
anything of interest should be verified elsewhere.
Any comments welcome.

In his book, THE CLINTON LINEAGE & RELATED FAMILIES, by Howard Clinton, pg.
8, he says:
"and three brothers, Walter, Thomas and John Henry Clinton, from South
Carolina settled on the Hilham Road near Celina north of Cookeville in 1781.
There were , of course, many more (settlers). As far as is known, these
three Clinton brothers were the first Clintons to settle in the State of
Tennessee".
Anyone know anything about these Clintons?? Any descendants?? I'll keep
reading and post whatever I find.

Hi, everyone. I am new to both genealogy and to the rootsweb. I have
just begun receiving letters to this list. Please forgive me if I don't
know what I am doing. {:-D
My maiden name is Clinton. My father is Ralph Welmond Clinton. He was
born in Los Angeles County, CA., 11 January 1914. His father was Ralph
Welmond Clinton, Sr. who was born in August 1889, in Tacoma, WA. His
father was George Clinton, who was city manager of Tacoma, in the late
1880s. Family info says that George was from NY. Also, that his line
goes back to Dewitt Clinton, who was governor of NY. I believe that
George was born about 1857.
RWC, Sr.'s mother was Cora Estelle Ramsdell, born 1869 somewhere in
Minnesota. Her father was Henry Ramsdell, and her mother Mary Ellen
Carver. Cora traveled to Washington State, and lived with her sister.
She met George, fell in love and they married. I assume this took place
near Tacoma, WA.
I am just beginning my family research. Cora gave me a scrapbook which
she kept for years. I spent a lot of time with her, during my first 13
years. She told many stories. So, some of my info is from those
stories, and some from her scrapbook. News clippings, family letters,
etc.
I am sharing all of this in hope of connecting with someone who has some
information about some of these relatives. My g-grandmother's daughter,
Grace Clinton Stillgenbauer, told me in the late 1940s, or early 1950s
that she had traced our ancestry back to the Mayflower. She did it to
join the DAR. I asked for a copy of what she had learned, and she said
she would send it. She developed Alzheimer's Disease, and no one was
able to find her information!
A few years ago my daughter was an intern in Washington D.C. and went
to the headquarters of DAR, but was unable to learn anything. Also, ran
into the same dead end, at the National Archives. So, I do not know if
Aunt Grace actually submitted her info on our family to the DAR, or lost
track of it.
Any information about this will be appreciated by me. I am in process
of sending for birth certs for my father, and his father. Thank you.
Sheila Clinton-Reed
Does anyone on the list have any info about the David McCants Mc Cance whose
estate include Ruthey Clinton?? This was Henry Co., GA.

Good evening
I have some pages entitled CHESTER CO. QUERY. One item is listed as William
Clinton of London Britain Twp, source quoted: HISTORY OF CHESTER COUNTY,
William Clinton, Archibald's son, born 08-11-1761, age 8 moved to SC.
Applied for a pension in Caldwell Co. KY 05-20-1831. Sons of Archibald
listed are: James, Dan'l, Ezekiel, Archibald, Samuel all of KY. This is the
oldest source I've found that lists these men as the sons of Archibald.
Also from the HISTORY OF CHESTER COUNTY - (of which someoen has sent me only
a few pages) I find that per the "Second Archives, ii, 506, commissions
were granted to officers of the two Associate Regiments of Chester County on
Feb. 8, 1747. There are a number of people listed, including William
Clinton, and Andrew McDowell. (Was this Andrew McDowell related to the
McDowell's who came on the George & Anne with the NY Clintons to Cape Cod,
Mass. in 1729??)
Then, on pg 182 of THE HISTORY OF CHESTER COUNTY, under "London Britain
Taxables, 1753". Thmas Denison, William Clinton, and John Dennison are on
this list - among others. Were these Dennison/Denison's related to the
Dennisons who wer also on the George & Ann?? William Neal is listed under
the twp of Londonderry - prob. the William Neal/Neil/Neill who was married to
Archibalds, dau, Mary.
>From another source, I find that Wlliam Cliton was taxed in London Britian
Two from 1748 to 1758. By 1790, there supposedly, were only two Clintons in
the census: Ann at Broad & Lodg. in Phila, and Charles Clinton, Union Twp.
Fayette Co.
Can anyone shed any light on any of thee folks??
I have the Chester Co. Tax lists at the LDS FHC now, and will go there this
week to have a look.

Hi Jane
I am very interested in this group of Clintons and anything you could post to
the list would be most welcome.
I have been trying to find parents and siblings for my ggg gf Zachariah
Clinton for a long time. The first record I have of him is 18 Nov 1821 in
Hopkins Co. KY when he married Sarah Hanks. Also getting married in Hopkins
Co. in Jan of 1822 was Ezekiel Clinton. Both couples were married by the
same minister, the Rev. Thomas Hanks. Archibald Clinton of Chester Co. PA
had a grandson named Ezekiel Clinton thru his son James. And this Ezekiel was
also supposed to have been in Hopkins Co. KY. Supposedly got a land grant
for his service in the Rev. War. But the Ezekiel who was married in Jan
1822 was born between 1790-1800 - as was my Zachariah who was born in SC in
1795. This makes me think that possibly my Zachariah and the Ezekiel who was
born 1790-1800 were the sons of the older Ezekiel, but I have no proof nor
anything that places two Ezekiels in Hopkins Co. at thate same time.
I am gathering as much info on the Clinton family as I can. I have recently
been given some paperwork indicating McDowels and Dennistons being in Chester
Co. PA at the same time as Archibald Clinton was there. Both of these
families were connected to the NY Clintons, with people of these surnames
being on the George & Anne with the Clintons when they came to Cape Cod in
1729. and also married into the Clinton family.
Any help, suggestions, clues from anyone would be most welcome.
Thanks
Joanne
I thought I would contribute some CLINTON information that I found in my searches
for my own CLINTON family. The following are not my family, but they may be of
interest to someone else. The following was excerpted from The Genealogy of the
Clinton Family found at the DAR library.
"Nothing has been found to show the migrations of history of the Clintons who
resided in the Carolinas during the revolutionary period. Tradition connects the
Clintons of Ipswick, MA, New Haven, CT, Dutchess County, NY, and those of
Pennsylvania. It cannot be shown that Lawrence and Rachel Clinton were the
ancestor of all them; there is much to indicate that their descendants were
rather numerous. Unfortunately we have no list of the names of their sons; but
Lawrence Clinton, the father of the Lawrence born in 1737, Jacob Clinton b. in
1705, Joseph Clinton, the father of the William b. in 1726 and Thomas Clinton the
father of the Thomas who was b. in 1719 were all the age of his younger sons or
older grandsons. If William Clinton b. 1726 is the same as the Capt. William
Clinton of Chester Co., PA who was active in the Indian War of 1747, we may
fairly place Charles Clinton of Frederick Co., MD, William Clinton of London
Grove, Chester Co., James Clinton of London Britain, Chester Co., and Samuel
Clinton, the boat-builder of PA in the 23 generation. Most of the revolutionary
soldiers were of the next of 24 generation.
There is no definite connection in the record between Capt. William Clinton
of Chester Co., and Capt. Charles Clinton of Frederick Co., MD (who migrated on
westward by stages). They are, however, associated in our minds because of their
personal traits and history.
Although Pennsylvania was one of the last colonies to be settled, its
development was so rapid that at the time of the French and Indian War, it was in
the front rank and was scarcely behind any of the others in population and
wealth. Besides being a refuge of many oppressed people of Europe, it was looked
upon as the land of opportunity for settlers from the older colonies. A very
considerable part of her English speaking people came from Connecticut. Under
the generous rule of William Penn peace and prosperity reigned; his sons were
much less successful, and Pennsylvania became one of the principal areas of
conflict in the Indian Wars.
As we have already shown, William Clinton was schooled in the hard lessons of
frontier life. He was first a Captain in the Chester Co., forces for defense
against the Indians in 1747-1748. In 1758 he was a Lieutenant in Col. James
Burd's Battalion which was a part of the army under General Forbes that captured
Fort Duquesne and practically concluded the war in America. The knowledge gained
by him in this expedition must have aroused his interest in plans of the English
to occupy and settle western Pennsylvania and the Ohio Valley. We would expect
some of his sons to share his interest in such an enterprise. As we have seen he
died about 1765 about three years after he had purchased an extensive tract of
land near Harrisburg. Capt. Charles Clinton showed the same restless character
and enterprise. At first we find him (1771) in Antietam, now Washington Co., MD,
then (1775 and 1776) we find him in Cumberland Hundred (district), now a part of
Allegany Co., MD, about a hundred miles west in the most mountainous part of the
state, later (1784) we find him at Uniontown, Fayette County, PA on the Braddock
route to Pittsburgh. While there he became a Captain of the Militia and a leader
in frontier life. Even in later life he ventured to go on farther into the newer
frontier of Green County, Circumstances already recited make it fairly certain
that he was the ancestor of the following line. He was contemporary of Henry
Pelham-Clinton and of General James Clinton, and we therefore assign him to the
23 generation counting from the Clinton who served William the Conqueror."
I think I have a brief description of each of the whos and wheres of the 23
generations, if you are interested. I didn't include it here because it is quite
lengthly. But if you're interested it may be worth while to include it in
another post.

Hi Steve and All
I went to the website to look at the books and found the one you mentioned.
It looks interesting, and I sent an e-mail to check on the price. Then I
went to Ancestry.com and did a search on Clintons in SC. Two of the items
that came up were documents on the Dawes report. There were several Clintons
listed.
If you go to Ancestry.com and do a search on Clinton in SC there are 16 pages
of items just from the So. Carolina Magazine of Genealogy Research (think I
got that title right). Some of the items are for towns and counties named
Clinton, but there are many references to the family name also.
Joanne
Apparently Clintons married Indians, and were possibly
White traders, as I found the Clinto family in an
index to a South carolina Indian and Indian Trader
book.
The book is at http://members.aol.com/rarebk
Then, go to the booklists page, scroll down till you
see the book, and invoke the index.
Lots of neat Indian genealogical info at the site,
like the 1835 cherokee census that yu can read (in the
tutorial) and other things.
