I'm needing information that you may have on this family. Joel Allen Williams was b. abt. 1873 and lived in Dutch Creek, Yell, AR. His son is Morris Marl McCoy Williams b. (date removed to prevent Identity Theft). I think Joel could be the son of Morris M. Williams. I found a Martha J. McClendon b. Sep 1835 TN? as the mother of John Williams, b. 1864, in the census of Dutch Creek, Yell Co., AR. in 1900. Do you have anything on these Williams? I think they were from LA. I'm seeing the name of a Hardy Williams, also. Thanks, Ina

I was wondering if you had any information on Joe Henry McLendon from somewhere close to Mobile, AL. I think the name of the town starts with a C, but I do not know any towns close to Mobile. My husband has never met his father who is Joe Henry McLendon. He should be about 79 or 80 years old. I think he was born on (date removed to prevent Identity Theft). My husband name is Charles Olin McLendon, and his mother's name at the time of the marriage to Joe, was Dorothy Tomlinson, of Sarasota, FL. Charles was born on (date removed to prevent Identity Theft). If you have any information, could you please e-mail me back. We would love to find him. Thank you for all you can or will be able to do for us. Thank you. Linda McLendon

Subject: From a descendent of the founder of McClendon Texas


Dear Ms. McClendon -

My grandmother was Eula Powell Shytles. Before she died at 97 years old she told me that her grandfather founded that community with a general store and blacksmith shop. Both my grandparents on the paternal branch of my family stated that their people came to Texas out of Tennessee around the Selmer area. An interesting side to my contact with you: I was researching Col. Zack Miller of the 101 Ranch in Oklahoma when the link sight referenced me to the McClendon name which would establish a connection to the Edmond, OK area.

The town in Texas in which you are interested is in Rockwall County just northeast of Dallas. It is now incorporated as McClendon-Chisholm on our state registry.

I don't know for sure if you and I are related but if we are I think it is quite interesting that I just completed my first degree in counseling from Texas Wesleyan University here in Fort Worth, Texas. This to complement the prison ministry and gang intervention mediation that I perform. I also work as residential counselor for the Masonic Home and School here as well. I apologize if I have unduly burdened you with additional E-mail, but I do hope that some of this information will be of use to you. His light shine on you.

My great Aunt Margie (Margorie) Hock was married to R. C. Mac McClendon and lived in Bogalusa, LA. Mac and Margie had two girls, Marilyn and Sherri. Marilynn lives I believe in Florida and Sherri is married to Michael Tolle, and they currently live in Kenner, LA. Mac and Margie worked for the paper company and Mac also had a water pump company for many years.

Margie was the youngest daughter of Jean Raoul Hock and Marie Justelia Euphrosie LeBlanc (my great grandparents). She was born April 13, 1916 and died Nov 4, 1994.

Am looking for additional info on R. C. Mac McClendon's parents and siblings.

Dear Pat:

Thank you so much for the information. I lived with Mac (R. C. Mac McClendon) and Margie in 1970 while I attended Southeastern Louisiana University. I never knew Chuck McClendon, he died in an oil platform accident in 1969. Mac told me that he fell off an oil platform and ruptured his spleen and bled to death on the way to the hospital. I did meet Dee McClendon and his wife Betty and I believe their son Greg McClendon. On the weekends when I was in Bogalusa, I used to help Mac with his pump work. I saw more of Louisiana and Mississippi that semester, traveling with Mac to fix someone's water well pump that in the six years I lived in Baton Rouge after I graduated from college. Last time I saw Mac and Margie was at Margie's sister's funeral in 1974.

We're having our first Baughman and allied family reunion on Saturday, March 27, 1999 at the Paul B. Johnson State Park, 14 miles south of Hattiesburg, MS. We sent out over 250 invitations to relatives. I sent one to Mike and Sherri and hope they can come. If she does, I hope to fill in some of the other gaps that I have. I'll send you whatever I am able to find.

I am looking for information on my GG Grandfather J.P. (Jeremiah Pearson) McClendon. He was born 17 Feb 1828 and died 21 Aug 1888. He is buried at Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Jonesboro, Georgia. He served in the Confederate Army as a Pvt. in the 63rd Georgia, Co. G, Volunteer Infantry. He was wounded in the Battle of Franklin in Tenn. but survived the War to apply for a Soldiers Pension. He is listed in the 1850 Census Records as living in the house of Adams, Mary S. 52 and married to Sarah E. 16, with two children, Sarah 1, and Mary 2 mos.

I am responding to an e-mail I received from Pat McClendon this morning. My name is Stephen McClendon, originally from Memphis, TN.

My father is from Helena, AK and his parents were Audrey (Minton) and Hollis McClendon, also of Arkansas.

Thank you for the information that was sent to me. I find it quite interesting, and I often wonder how this whole McClendon gang settled in America. Actually, I will help how ever I can, and I would appreciate any information you can give me.

I live in Stillwater, OK and currently teach military science at OSU, Oklahoma State University.

Thank you,

Good morning Pat,

Yes, that is my grandfather's (Hollis McClendon) information that you looked up, and actually my grandmother, Audrey, is still alive and resides in West Memphis, Arkansas. Her maiden name is Minton, but of course she still goes by McClendon.

My father lives in Winston-Salem, and he has one sister named Barbara Carruth, who lives in Germantown, TN.

I have two brothers and one sister. My older brother, Robb McClendon, was born in (date removed to prevent Identity Theft) and lives in Independence, MO and he has three daughters. My younger brother is married without children and his name is John McClendon. He was born in (date removed to prevent Identity Theft). I have a younger sister, Amanda McClendon Norris, and she is also married. She was born in (date removed to prevent Identity Theft). They have one daughter and one son, and live in Wilmington NC.

I have some more information at my house regarding my great-grandparents. It is just a matter of me being able to locate it. I do believe that my great-grandfather was probably born in Hot Springs, AK, as that is the only place I remember the family talking about. He died in Hot Springs a few years after my grandfather passed away. (1984 or 1985). His wife's name was Pearl, and she preceded him in death by maybe 10-15 years. I vaguely remember her.

Let me know if you want, or need, any more information. My number here at OSU, Oklahoma State University, is (405) 744-1946. I normally teach one class everyday, a lab on Wednesday afternoon, and then I also attend some classes for my own benefit as well. Feel free to call.

Sincerely,

Steve McClendon

Hi Pat,

Here is the information I found on my great-grandparents from the McClendon lineage. As I previously informed you, my grandfather was Hollis McClendon, and his parents were Luther Otis McClendon, and Pearl Ivory (Brantley) McClendon. My great-grandfather Luther was born in Pike County, Arkansas in 1889, and my great-grandmother Pearl was born in Hot Springs, Arkansas in 1895. Pearl was also part Indian, as her grandfather was 100% Native-American.

I obtained the above mentioned information from my grandfather's sister Neddy McClendon, who lives in Arkansas. Pearl and Luther McClendon had four children, three of which are still alive. Neddy McClendon lives in Arkansas, as well as her sister Elgin (McClendon) Dawson. Her other sister is Virginia (McClendon) Webb, and she lives in Memphis, TN.

Once again Pat, I want to thank you in advance for your interest and your assistance. Any information from yourself, or anyone else, will be greatly appreciated.

Steve McClendon
