Hi Pat,

I don't recognize any of the names from Bogalusa that you included in your last e-mail message to me. My late father does have a sister named Gladys Irene (McClendon) Stone Dinsmore, but I'm pretty sure that she is younger than he was (my father was born in 1917 and died in 1990). Also, the last I knew, Aunt Gladys was living somewhere in Orange County, California, which is where my mother also lives. Gladys has one daughter, Ursula Jane (my first cousin), and Ursula has 3 sons: Brett Mitchell, Blair Nathan, and Clark David (all surnamed Smith). Clark is a detective on the police force for the city of Orange, California. He was unofficially "adopted" by my parents and reared pretty much like another son. I was already in college when they started taking care of him as a toddler.

Hi Patty:

-- snip --

Thanks for all the helpful stuff on using the net. As you probably remember, I don't know a lot about it so I'm looking forward to a new adventure. Our cousin in California (Artena - Artena@mindspring.com) has been in touch about the family tree. -- snip --

You really put in some time on the family tree. I'm totally impressed. I do have an update, however. I've come to the conclusion Shadrack is not our ancestor, but most likely a brother to our ancestor. Last fall while snatching a few moments at the library, I came across the 1860 census report from Washington Parish, LA with a listing for William McLendon, age 38 from South Carolina, wife Mary, age 31 from Louisiana with children John age 8, Ginena (handwriting difficult to decipher) age 7 female and <<***TA-DA***>> JOSEPH age 3. Now, I believe this is our Joseph. He's the right age and in the right location but that would blow our info from Dan Lott that Joseph's father was Jesse.

Of course the census taker used only one "C" but, hey, that's a familiar story with our name. I still haven't had time to research it completely and I couldn't find the family in the next census but, if the story that Joseph's father died when he was only 6, then Joseph may be listed under another household. What do you think?

Shadrack did have a son named William (as well as one named Jesse) but they would have been a lot older than 38 in 1860. I wanted to sort all this out before I tried to explain it, but alas and alack, I haven't. I want to locate Joseph in the 1870 census, when he was 13. His mother may have remarried or they may have lived with her parents or near her parents. Or maybe they lived with William's father who could have been Jesse. (thus explaining why Dan Lott came up with the name Jesse as Joseph's father). Anyway, I will try to find some time to work on this so we can be sure our info is accurate. -- snip --

Hope I'll be getting back with you soon. I miss talking to you.

Love from your Mississippi Cuz,
Donna (Donna McCLENDON McGuyer)

Hi Pat;

My Name is David Paul McClendon born (date removed to prevent Identity Theft) in Harristown, Illinois.

Hi Artena & Pat:

Just an update on our elusive ancestor Joseph. Maxine sent the following info. The dates on her William and Mary and Joseph still aren't matching up with the 1860 Louisiana Census or with Joseph's tombstone---SOOOOO--I've got to go back to the library and search some more. I think I'll try to locate Mary and the children under another name. (maybe she remarried after William died, or lived with some of her family) Also, I need to check the death records for both William & Mary.

Also, since Joseph was married to Laura Perry after our ggrandmother, I'm going to try to find their marriage license in hopes of finding his parents' names. The census record I located on three-year-old Joseph might not even be our Joseph, but it is the most concrete document I've come up with so far.

I'll keep you both posted on what is going on but as of now, it looks pretty definite that Shadrack is not in our lineage, maybe a relative, but not our direct ancestor.

Your Mississippi cuz,
Donna McClendon McGuyer

Hi Donna:

I have reviewed my records and turned up the following info on Jesse. Jesse was married to Harriet Bennet on Oct. 12, 1813 in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana.

He was married to Esther Cotton on April 15, 1819 in Claiborn Co., Miss. Jesse was living with Lewis at the time of his death and a lot of their property was jointly owned. Documents regarding the succession are dated in 1856 which would put his death 7 years prior to the 1863 date. The documents are hard to read but I quote from one that he left "no heirs either in the ascending or descending line and that his succession falls to collateral kindred to wit" his only brother, Lewis and to 4 sisters, one of which was dead but that her children were to get her share of the estate. It further states that Lewis was the only heir living in Louisiana.

Esther was still living when Jesse died because she brought suit against Lewis who was appointed administrator of the estate.

There are so many Jesses in the McClendon family that it is hard to keep them separated. In my notes I have one listed in the 1820 census of Pike Co., Miss. with 6 children. He would have been 36 years old at the time. He was 29 when he married Harriet and 35 when he married Esther. He and Harriet could have had a child a year for 6 years and certainly he would have needed a mother for the children if Harriet had died. I am just thinking of possibilities if the death date of 1863 is incorrect.

Shadrack did have a son, William, b 1813, d 1850, m 1834 to Mina Franklin. They lived near Jackson, Miss. but later moved to Texas. They had a son, Livingston. I have no record of other children.

I have a record on a William M McClendon, b 1809, m to Mary Ann Pederson in 1832 and d 1868. He was from S.C. and was in Wayne Co., Miss. at the time of his death. They had 8 children - John, Martha, Mary, Elizabeth, William II, Rebecca, Edward and Joseph, b 1850.

A miscellaneous note that I have dated 1858 in Catahoula Parish is regarding death of Armisted L. McLendon. John McClendon of that parish stated that Armisted was his nephew and a William McClendon was administrator of the succession.

I did not follow up on many of these notes because I determined at the time that I was doing the research that they were not my direct line. I have never lived in Catahoula Parish but many of my lines were there early on. I do plan to go back to Harrisonburg which is the parish seat to do further research and I shall certainly keep your Jesse, William and Joseph in mind.

Hello, Pat,
Just wanted to bring you up-to-date since my 97-11-12 e-mail where I was searching for Melba Goff Allen. Had the good fortune to make contact with her and she now has an excellent web site at the following address: http://members.tripod.com/~mallen4896/Index.html with McClendon and other families. Also, was able to obtain a copy of her book, THE MCLENDONS OF AMERICA, which has been very helpful. (see next message)

Thanks for posting my request for help on locating Melba.

Hi
My name is David Allen McClendon (age 51) and I reside in Hawaii. My parents (Woodrow Wilson McClendon and Ratchel Bass) divorced when I was only one yr old. I was raised by my mother and my stepfather and never knew my real dad.

My mother told me his name was Woodrow Wilson McClendon and he was from Texas and his mother was an Indian. With a name like his I believe we may be related. I never knew anything about my Dad and his side of the family.

He and my mom while married (briefly) ran a greyhound bus depot in Bakersville, CA prior to divorcing. He was in his 30's when I was born. Any information you can share with me on his whereabouts (if still alive?) or about him in general (marriages, kids, etc,) would be appreciated. Also, if you need information about myself feel free to ask. Looking forward to your response. Best wishes.

[Pat McClendon's note:
I wrote David and told him that I have an uncle Woodrow McClendon (of Bogalusa, Louisiana) who married Margaret Nel (or Nell) Seal. After checking out the birth dates, etc., we ruled out my uncle as being related to David.]

Thank you.

Pat's Note: Yes, either Mississippi or Louisiana, I believe. There are genealogy mailing lists at Genealogy Resources on the Internet : Mailing Lists. Here is a "cut & paste" about two of mailing lists for the GRAVES surname:

GRAVES. A mailing list for the discussion and sharing of information regarding the Graves surname and variations (e.g., Graff) in any place and at any time. Mailing address for postings is graves-l@rootsweb.com. To subscribe send the word "subscribe" (without the quotes) as the only text in the body of a message to graves-l-request@rootsweb.com (mail mode) or graves-d-request@rootsweb.com (digest mode).

GRAVES-FAM-ASSOC. A mailing list for the discussion of activities, research, publications, and programs of the Graves Family Association (GFA). The GFA is an international organization for descendants of all Graves, Greaves (and variant spellings) families. You must be a member of the GFA and a subscriber to post to the list and posting instructions will be provided when you subscribe. To join the GFA or to subscribe to the list, send a message to Kenneth Graves at kgraves239@aol.com  describing your interests in the Graves surname and requesting that you be added to the list.

I have not joined them, yet, because I'm swamped with e-mail and web sites stuff.

I went to McCain Library today, looking for evidence of William McClendon. I didn't find him, but did find an 1824 public land claims map. Guess who owned 640 acres in Washington Parish -- John McClendon. That name John sure is popular in our family. What is making this so hard is the courthouse fire that took the records. I'm still looking though and will let you know more later.

Hi Pat,

I am hoping that you or someone you know can help me find an old friend. I am looking for John Blanche McLendon, Jr. "Mac" is an African American who served with me in the US Navy in the early 1960's aboard the destroyer, USS Fletcher, DD-445. I remember his address as being 248 Custer Ave. Youngstown OH. I have tried on several occasions to locate him and have had no luck. My street atlas shows the 200 block of Custer avenue as a freeway ramp system, and my letters have all been returned as undeliverable.

Since I have tried just about everything else, I thought I would try the Web. I was not able to find him but I did find you and it looks like a posting might be helpful. The Navy department will not give out any information regarding the whereabouts of an ex-serviceman, neither will the IRS. I have yet to try the Social Security Administration, but don't hold out much hope there as I do not have his SS#.

I tried looking him up in one of the Phone Disk programs but found that there are literally thousands of John/J. (B. or none) McLendons (Jr. or none), and many do not have addresses associated with them.

Thank you very much for your time,
