LEWIS DODD CLINTON
Lewis Dodd Clinton was born in Edgar county, Illinois, November 18, 1842 and died at his home two miles from Tescott, Kansas, October 14, 1921, aged 78 years, 10 months and 26 days.
On February 4, 1869 he was united in marriage with Martha J. McGavran. To this union were born ten children, three dying in infancy. Laura, the eldest, grew to womanhood but died at the age of 31 years. The six surviving children are Rose Crawford of Lincoln, Kansas, Charlie of Beverly, Kansas, Lida Raplee of Salina, Kansas, Elmer of Wichita, Kansas, Jewell Neaderhiser of Longford, Kansas and Elsie Giersch on the home farm near Tescott, Kansas. With his wife, these children, with a number of grandchildren were all present at the funeral which was conducted by the Rev. Mr. Salts of Lincoln, Kansas.
L.D. Clinton united with the Christian church at Homer, Illinois in the early seventies, and in 1877, with his family moved to Kansas locating on a homestead five miles southeast of what is now Tescott. In the spring of 1883 he moved to his farm near Tescott. Becoming weary of farming, he bought property in Tescott, built a home where he resided for fifteen years. His children having married and gone, and he with his wife growing older and more feeble and alone, moved back to the farm with their daughter, Elsie. He was active and industrious, honorable and upright in all his dealings, kind hearted to all, generous in his family and social relations, and helpful in all public matters. The great number of the immediate citizens of the community that attended the funeral gave evidence of the respect in which he was held where he had lived so long and showed their sympathy for the bereaved family.

While I know that our Clinton families are not the same, you might want to look at my Clinton1 family that has been posted on ancestry.com and read Auld Lang Sang. It is really interesting if you can keep in mind that I entered it just as it was written as John Clinton traveled by ship with his family from Scotland to New Orleans.

Thanks for the reply. I have read from North Carolina history books that the piedmont region consisted of Scots-Irish people that migrated from the coastal region after the Revolutionary War. They were said to be loyal to the British crown. Also the regulator movement also happened near the area where John was born. That movement wanted to tax their whiskey and there was an uprising over it. Yes I do believe I will check out the pilgramages from Ireland and Scotland. Amy
