• To whom it may concern: The material herein found is the work of about 45 Clingan researchers. Much of the material I've included is copied from other studies made before our group of researchers came into being.

INTRODUCION TO THE CLI NGAN BROTHERS This is the story of what I, through other Clingan researchers, the internet and personal research have been able to find out about a group of brothers who came to this country c.1739 from Donegal Ireland (This according to: http://rabyfunk.tripod.com/Robt_McFarland.htm) c1739. Nancy Bier one of our Clingan researchers has found a book by Egles called Pennsylvania Genealogies in which he states the Clingans originated in Grenshawe , County Down, Ireland. It seems the origin is not, at this time, nailed down hard and fast and awaits future research.
I have been told there were five brothers, but, to this point only three have been confirmed: George, Thomas and William. My son, Paul Clingan, has found a query about another man named Orrin Clingan who is reported to have migrated from Scotland in 1771, and is said to be the brother of William.
I have found a James Clingan who married An Elizabeth Stauffer c.1786 in Lancaster County PA who appears to have moved to Mercer County PA and had at least one child, one James Clingan. I believe it is very possible that this James was one of the five Clingan brothers. He was born c.1732 which would make him younger than George, 1920;Thomas, 1922; and William,1924.
James was the second husband of Elizabeth Stauffer and I believe it probable he also had a first wife as well, although I have not been able to prove it to this date. Elizabeth was the daughter of German parents, Jacob and Magdalena Stauffer and was married first to one Abraham Hackman by whom she had ten children. According to Family Search they were married in 1755. The Hackman's youngest son was born about 1775 so, as I said earlier, I do not believe James married her until after that. If I am right that they moved to Mercer County PA after their wedding, and I believe I am, they had a son named James and a daughter named Jane which would sow they were married previous to 1778.
I believe James and his first wife, were parents to at least three sons in Lancaster County, before her demise or departure. There was a son named James who was born circa 1755 and died in 1805. In his will, we discover that this James was married to a second wife, first wife and children were not named, but the widow was Nancy Clingan and the son was Thomas. It is possible that the son left with Nancy was from James' first marriage since he is said to speak the German language, as we remember that his grandmother was of German desent. Other Clingans to be found on the 1790 census are: Philip Clingan,Pikeland Township, Chester County PA; John Clingan, Pikeland TWP Chester Co. PA Charles Clingan, was married to one Ann Smith October 14, 1775, which means he was born circa 1755. He died in 1777 at York County PA. John Clingan Northumberland James Clingan Northumberland William Clingan John Clingan Philedephia County John Clingan Richard Clingan Washington County Anne Clingan Philedelphia County These names were all in the 1790 census. Any or all could have been James' children.
I recently came across another Clingan whom I can't place. His name is Rueben and he was in the 1880 census at West Fallowfield, Chester Co PA His family was listed as follows: Rueben Clingan 1837 +Martha ??? 1846 2.William Clingan 1865 2.Sadie Clingan 1868 2.Clara Clingan 1872
Another possible son is a man named William Clingan living in Lancaster County,Pennsylvania. His name was William Clingan Esq. b. c 1756 in Ireland, died intestate in 1826 and lived in West Fallowfield twp. His family looks like this: 1.William Clingan b.c1756 d.1826 in West Fallowfield A.+Margaret b.c1763 d.July 6,1787 age 24; buried Faggs Manor Cem. m. c1783 probably in Chester Co.PA.

Attended public schools, studied medicine; was graduated from the Jefferson Medical College at Philadelphia PA in 1837 and commenced practice in Cochranville PA; elected as a Democrat to the Thirty-Second Congress (March 1851- March 1853); inspector and appraiser of imports and drugs at the port of Philadelphia 1853-1861. resumed practice of Medicine in Cochranville PA in 1861-1865; engaged in agricultural and mercantile pursuits and again resumed practice in Cochranville PA. He died there July 25,1904, internment at Fagg's Manor Presbyterian Church, Chester County PA. I found the information concerning his wife and children in another biography sometime back which I failed to copy and cannot seem to find it again.

James Best's parents were:Thomas and Elizabeth Henrietta Hutton Best His siblings were: Rachel; Thomas; Elizabeth; Mary Ann; William; Lydia; Jane A. and Hannah
This William and most of his family are all buried at Fagg's Manor Presbyterian Church Burial ground. I have been told, he and his two wives lay side by side, Margaret on one side and Jane on the other.
William was a hatter and peddler by trade and used one end of his home for a store which later became a post office as well. The location of the post office gave the name of the area in the town of Gum Tree in West Fallowford Twp., Clingan PA. After the death Of William Clingan, Samuel McClean became postmaster. It continued to be known as Clingan PA until June 3,1823 when it was moved to the west end of Gum Tree and renamed Gum Tree.
Another interesting detail of this William's life was this: After the death of William Clingan, the eldest of the three brothers, in 1790 he, William esq., was elected on Sept 4,1792 to take the brother's place as a Justice in West Caln and West Fallowfield. I thought it strange that we would have one William Clingan replaceing another. It no doubt shows the high regard in which the bearers of the name were held in those days.
Now to get back to Jame's, I think I will make a genealogical outline as to his proposed family:
1.James Clingan b.1731 +???? m.circa 1752 2.James Clingan b.c.1755 d.c.1806 +???? m..c.1776 3.Had unknown # of children +#2.Nancy ???? Clingan 3.Thomas Clingan spoke the German tongue +#2.Elizabeth Stauffer b.Dec. 7,1735 Warwick TWP Lancaster Co. PA m.after 1775 +#1.Abraham Hackman b.1733 died after 1775. She was the daughter of Jacob and Elizabeth Hess Stauffer and the granddaughter of Hans Stauffer, all of Ibershiem, Rhein Pfalzz, Germany They had 10 children, the eldest being born in 1775.
It is my belief that James and Elizabeth moved to Mercer County PA shortly after their marriage, although it can't be proven at this time. Further discussion can be seen on my Word program on the Richland County Ohio line found on "The Clingan Connection"
I've found another William Clingan who was around during these early days, I do not know where he fits in, but I want to include him in this report:
The Tuscarora Valley Church was organised on Saturday, May 17,1794, by Elder Lewis Richards(of Baltimore) and Elder William Clingan. The day was set apart by Prayer and fasting, and the members assembled at the meeting house. Persons offered themselves as candidates for baptism, after being examined and giving evidence of the love of God shed abroad in their hearts by free grace, then proceeded, with a conciderable number of people, to the bank of Tuscorora Creek, where Elder Richards preached and Elder Clingan baptised the candidates...... Elder William Clingan was the first pastor. taken from Primitive Baptist Family History Assistance The history of the Clingan family can probably be traced, in time, to the medieval German area known as Saxony as far back as 1100 AD. I'll include a segment of a report taken from "1993 Hall of Names International Inc." which my son Paul sent to me. "CLINGEN The surname was recorded in Westphalia, where the name emerged in Mediaeval times as one of the notable families in the western region. The complete history, not only includes,in full color, the most ancient family name coat of arms, but traces the surname origin back to the eleventh or twelth century, including any nobility, titles, castles, branches in Europe, settlers around the world and any other recorded events pertaining to the family surname if available." Another reference from the same book reads: "McClingane The surname was recorded in Ayrshire where they were seated from early times and their first records appeared on the census rolls taken by the ancient Kings of Scotland to determine the rate of taxation of their subjects...."
The name itself has been used with many different Spellings. For instance in West Prussia in 1856 there as a Klinger. In Germany there was Kling, Klinbeil, Klinge, Klingel,Klingler and Klinger, klingan. When the family was forced to move to the British Isles they settled first in Scotland and then moved to Ireland where they acquired the nickname "Scotch Irish" or "black Irish". There the name was Clingan and Clingen and were common Galaway surnames. There were such various uses as MacClingan, William Clingane, Ladieland, Dumfries 1658, Edward Clingzean Castletown, Kirkcudbright 1680, Alexander Clingane in Kirkcudbright 1684 and Clingen 1684. The Irish and United Kingdom Genealogy surname list showed Clingan in 1850. In the states I have seen it spelled Cling, Clinging, Clinger, Clingham,Clinghan, Clingman,etc.
A letter from one of George's distant descendants reads like this: CLINGAN HISTORY: A Scottish-American segment. By The Rev. Ralph Garlin Clingan,Jr. The medieval migrations of Clingans from Saxony led to the settling of Clingans in Scotland. Black's Dictionary of Scottish names lists Clingan as early as the 13th century in Kirkudbrightshire of the region of Galloway in SW Scotland. Some of the Clingans were forced to migrate during the 17th century "clearances", first to Ulster Plantation in Northern Ireland, and then, with Rev. John Roan, Minister of the Church of Scotland (Presbyterian) in the 18th century to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Five Clingan brothers migrated with Rev. Roan(Pronounced Row-an) After George Washington's retreat into eastern Pennsylvania during the revolutionary war, he gathered an additional army of men taken largely from the so-called Scotch-Irish population, including William Clingan Jr.,the son of Thomas, one of the five Clingan brothers. Prior to the successful campaign, he had been elected by the Upper Octorara Township as a member of the continintal congress and signed the articles of confederation, he died without progeny. (I must stop the letter and add a note of my own) We know this is not correct! Thomas’s brother William was indeed elected to the Continental Congress and did sign the Articles of Confederation. Also He did not leave any children when he passed on. It is possible, I suppose, that the father of the three Clingan brothers was Thomas, but it has not been proven as far as I know. However, the William spoken of in the letter, was, In fact, the son of Thomas, William Jr. of whom we will speak of later on. Now back to the letter:" Another of the five brothers, George, was the father of David. One of DAVID'S sons was the reverend Thomas Kind Clingan a minister and educator of Dayton Tennessee in the 1820's. He is celebrated in Chatanooga, and in Cleveland Tennessee there is a road named in his honor.(Clingan Road). My family is desended from this line. (I stop the letter again to say he may be mistaken once again). In a geneological study I've received from another family of descendants, we are told Thomas Kind Clingan was the 6th son of EDWARD, the son of George. I'll type a portion of what this report says: Edward Clingan b.June 3,1750 d.June 17,1807 married two times 1. Elizebeth Patton d.April 15,1792 m.Feb. 15,1774. Her parents were John and Mary McCracken Patton. 2. Jennett Kincaid b.March 26,1774 d.Feb.9,1855 m.Oct.11,1792.
Children by first wife. it lists five of whom we will not write at this time and continues on:
Children of the second marriage with Jennet (Jane) Kincaid. The above Edward's grandson, Thomas Jefferson Clingan says Edward was a schoolteacher and that he married Miss Kincaid in Virginia. (From what I have learned from other genealogists he was married in Jefferson County Tennessee)This will be proven to be true as we get down to the record of Edwards life. 6. Thomas Kind Clingan b.Aug. 26,1793 d.Feb.13,1850. He was a teacher and preacher at Smith's Cross Roads(Now Dayton Tennessee) and later died in Marion County Tennessee.
I think this might be a good place to include a portion of a book by Floyd Bullock called "The Clingan Clan"
"Thomas Kind Clingan taught a school at Smith's Crossroads in 1819. He was a minister of the gospel and several of the early marriage licenses in the George D. Barnes co;;ections of Rhea County manuscripts show he officiated at marriages in the county".
A copy of the contract made between the patron of the school at Smith's Crossroads (Now Dayton Tennessee) and Thomass K. Clingan is interesting because it shows how the citizens of the Tennessee valley of about a century and a half ago met their educational problems.

His wife,Diane, was found in the 1850 census living with a family whom Sue Maxwell thinks is possibly the daughter of Thomas and Diane Carter Clingan. Their names were: Henry and Diane Fedricks. Mrs. Clingan was 53 at the time of the census. Thomas Kind Clingan had three sons,Thomas, Darius and William and two daughters whom we have not identified to this point. One may be the Diane Fedricks listed above. Another may be one Martha Jane Clingan. I am in contact with one Dorothy Fields Sherwood who wrote me the following message on the Fields message board in response to a quiery concerning one Thomas Fields:
"I think I have something for you, Thomas Monroe Fields, who married Martha Jane Clingan was born 11-15-1827 in Hamilton County TN and died 3-8-1903 in what is now Craig County OK. He was the son of George Fields and Sallie Daniel". Dorothy Fields email address is: [email protected] .
I checked Thomas Fields out on roots web and found his siblings to be Richard,James,Nannie,Elizabeth, Louisa,and Mary Ann. Thomas was born in the East Cherokee Nation NC in 1827 and married in 1859 Delaware district OK in 1859.
Sue Maxwell writes: It is possible that she(Martha Jane Clingan) is the daughter of Thomas Kind Clingan. He has two daughters we have not been abe to identify that would fit that age bracket. He was in Hamilton County until after 1840 when he moved to Marion County TN.
I am told, the genealogical section of the library of congress has four volumes of Clingan genealogy on file, all(Clingans) descended from five Clingan brothers from Scotland. You can take this letter for what it is worth, as it seems to have a lot of errors. However, I have used it as a vehicle with which to pass information. ------C CHAPTER ONE WILLIAM CLINGAN
William b.about1723, was married two times: 1. To Catherine Clingan who died on Feb.7, 1785. The records from Upper Octorara Presbyterian Church Reads: Buried there Catherine Cingan, who died at an advanced age Feb,7,1785, and William Clingan who died at an advanced age May 9,1790 age 77.
2. Rachel Clingan was the daughter of John and Hester Broome Gilleylon. Married in 1742 in Philedelphia at the First Presbyterian Church and the widow of Andrew Buchanan. Her siblings were: William.Susanna; Esther;Maria;Jacob,John,Peter, and Jane When she entered into marriage with William she was the mother of five sons and one daughter. Andrew Buchanan made his will May 16, 1785 naming his brother Samuel Buchanan and his wife Rachel as Executors. Since Rachel was still the wife of William in 1785 and William Clingan died in 1789 she was not married to Clingan for very long. Her burial site is at the Piques Churchyard;Salsbury twp. Lancaster County Pennsylvania. The church record says her tombstone reads,”In memory of Rachael Clingan who departed this life July 18,1848 in the 87th year of her life. Sue Maxwell writes concerning this,”There appears to be an error in the year of her birth. More than likely the stone was hard to read, making it impossible to tell an 8 from a 3. Since her will was probated in 1843 it is more than likely that she died July 18,1843 at the age of 87. (The tribute below bears this out) This would have made her about 31 at the time of her marriage to William, assuming a marriage date sometime after the death of Catherine in 1788.
I found a tribute for her on the internet put there by some of her desendants which I will share:
IN MEMORY OF RACHEL CLINGAN WHO DEPARTED THIS LIFE JULY 19,1843 IN THE 87th YEAR OF HER AGE.
ANDREW BUCHANAN, SON OF MATTHEW AND MARTHA BUCHANAN MARRIED RACHEL GILLEYLON, DAUGHTER OF JOHN AND HESTER ROOME BUCHANAN. THE COUPLE HAD SIX CHILDREN, JOHN, MARTHA, ISAAC, ANDREW, DAVID AND ANDREW. ANDREW DIED IN 1785 AND RACHEL REMARRIED TO WILLIAM CLINGAN. WILLIAM DIED MAY 9, 1790 AND IS BURIED IN UPPER OCTORORA BURIAL GROUNDS, PARKERSBURG, CHESTER COUNTY PA. RACHEL IS BURIED WITH SON ISAAC'S FAMILY. Sometime during the Revolutionary war someone stole two of William’s horses and he put this catchy little advertisment in the paper: Item #64825 October 13,1779 The Pennsylvania Gazette
March last but one, the fifteenth day, My horse and filly were stole away; The horse was good, the filly pretty, And ta to Philidelphia city.
They by my neighbors there were seen, The horse join with a British team, The filly rising two years old, There by a refugee was sold.
The buyer hearing how she came, He soon return her back again; The thief with her some time did stay, Then with the British went away.
Her color bay, with a white face, Her size more than fourteen hands high, One hind foot white, and one wall eye; Her other eye some part the same,
When she from me away was ta; Head neck and body neat and clean, As of her age was to be seen.
She was not shod, rode, docknor brand, was very tame, would lick one’s hand; Her age I know is now three year, No doubt doe geneely appear.
The rogue was poor, I knew him well, beyond a doubt he did her sell. But, where I cannot yet relate, whether in this or Jersy state.
I make no doubt he sold her cheap,and perhaps an honest man did cheat, Such I would pity, with all my heart, And of his loss would bear some part;
But if he does conceal my brute, I freely will him prosecute, If ever I can prove the same, I will expose him to his shame.
If any honest man that know, the aforesaid filly do me show. His kindness I shall still regard, and ONE HUNDRED POUNDS give him reward.
By Lancaster road, near the waggon sign, Pray ask for me, you may me find; I did not tell my name beginnig, In Chester County, William Clingan.
The poets great for wit and art, Perhaps may call me silly But I can bear that and some more, If I but get my filly.
I think we can learn something of William’s humor, determination and grit from this little poetry.
I have William's last will and testament which I'll type here: William Clingan. Chester Co. Feruary 12,1789-May 13,1790
In the name of God Amen.

February 12, 1789
This advertisement for the sale of William’s plantation by his wife Rachel has been found: A valuable plantation, containing 120 acres, 80 of which are clear.

His second wife Rachel died in 1883. She is buried in Piquea Churchyard, Salisbury TWP. Lancaster County,PA Her stne reads: In Memory of Rachel Clingan; who departed this life July 18, 1843; in the 87th year of her age. She left her will which reads:
In the name of God Amen. I Rachel Clingan of Chester County, being sound in mind and memory, thanks to God for the same and calling to mind it is appointed all men to die, do make and ordain this my last will and testament. First of all, I recommend my soul into the hands of Almighty God that gave it me. And as touching such worldly goods as it pleases God to bless me with in this life. I dispose of the same in the following manner by my executors.
I will and bequeath to my sons John, Isaac, Andrew, David and James one hundred and fifty pounds each. I will and bequeath to my daughter Martha's three children one hundred and eightty pounds. If the child of my grand daughter Adaline dies before she arrives at age twenty one leaving no lawful heir then her part comes back to William C. Bryan and Elijah Bryan. If the child lives to age twenty one, it's part is not to go out of the hands of my executors, but is to be put to interest until she comes of age.
I will and bequeth 100 Pounds to the foriegn missionaries for the spread of the gospel. As there will be niether trouble nor difficulty in settling any of my affairs, my executors are to have no commission any farther than to defray reasonable expenses. They will recall I did the same for them.
The rest of my estate is to be equally divided between my six children. Lastly I do hereby empower My sons John and David and grandson, Robison Buchanan the third as my executors.
The above mentioned hundred pounds which I willed to the missionaries is to be put in the hands of the Rev. McLatta of Waynesburg, He will know how best to fix it.
Rachel Clingan July 26, 1843 Witnessed by William and Martha Buchanan
We have seen that William's first wife was Catherine, we see in the last line of his will that Rachel is a second wife. Neither Catherine nor Rachel provided him with any children, although as we pointed out earlier, she had five boys and a daughter by an earlier marriage to a man named Andrew Buchanan.
William Clingan was quite prominent in political affairs of the early years of our democracy. He was elected by the people of Upper Octorara as their representative to the Continental Congress serving from 1777 to 1779 and was one of the signers of the Articles of Confederation in 1778. He served as justice of the peace from 1757 to 1786 and for the last years of his life was the president of courts. One article concerning him said," He was a sterling, patriotic citizen and magistrate. From other sources we learn he had a devout spirit and a reputation of being an honest, highly trustworthy member of his community. He and his first wife Catherine are buried in Upper Octorara Presbyterian Cemetery located one mile north of Parksburg, PA.
A short history of the Church William attended may be of interest to you. This is supplied for us by Robert Clingan of Mississippi. A very enthusiastic Clingan genealogist. The Octorara Church was organized in 1720, prior to it's organization the Church was supplied by Pastors David Eans and David Magill. It's first regular pastor was Adam Boyd a native of County Antrim, Ireland,who was installed in 1724. Ten days after his ordination Mr. Boyd married Jane, daughter of
Craighead, also a preacher. Pastor Boyd died in 1768 and was succeeded by William Foster. He pastored the church until his death in 1780 and was followed by Alexander Mitchell who carried on until 1796. The church at Octorara was without a regular minister from 1796 to 1810 when James Letta was installed as Pastor.
This is about all we know about William to this point but, from his will we know of a surety that he had brothers named George and Thomas.
CHAPTER TWO THOMAS CLINGAN "Notes and Queries of Pennsylvania" gives Thomas' family this way: George, I take this to be the Doctor George Clingan of William's will, I have found some information on a Doctor George Clingan which shows he was a rather ribald fellow and quite a womanizer. He was instrumental in the formation of Franklin County PA and served as its treasurer from 1785 to 1790. Mary, Jenny, and William, this would be William's nephew William Jr.
About all I know about Thomas Clingan b.1722 d.1788 According to John Blair Lynns archives he was born in Donegal Ireland. m. Margaret McFarland Aug.14,1752. I understand that this was Margaret's second marriage. She was first married to a James Macfarland.

Robert Clingan, Clingan Genaologist, who has visited Thomas'grave at Donegal cemetery says: The book "An Authentic History of Donegal Presbyterian Church" gives the inscription of his stone which reads: "Here lies the body of Thomas Clingan, who departed this life the fourteenth day of October 1788 in the 66th year of his age". This is in graveyard #63.
I have a copy of Thomas' will which I will type in at this point:
In the name of God Amen. I Thomas Clingan of Donegal Township in Lancaster County of the state of Pennsylvania, being sick and weak, but sound of mind and memory, thanks be to the almighty God, and calling to mind that it is appointed for all men once to die, do hereby make and ordain this my last will and testament. And principally and first of all, I commit my soul into the hands of God that gave it nothing doubting but that I shall receive it again at the last day by the mighty power of God through the merits of Jesus Christ my all sufficient savior and my body to the earth to be buried at the discretion of my friends and as touching such worldly estate wherewith it has pleased God to bless me with in this life, I give and dispose of in the following manner:
It is my will and desire that all my debts and funeral expenses be paid.
I give and bequeath to my beloved wife Margaret, the first built end of the house, upstairs and down during her life with the two thirds of of my household furniture that belongs to me.(Only the best bed with it's furniture to my daughter Jenny). I also give to my wife two hundred pounds to be paid at a rate of twenty five pounds a year until it is paid out. I allow her the use of a horse to ride when and where she pleases together with the maintenance as usual on the place, with her firewood cut and placed in her room for her. And if my wife chooses to maintain herself then she is to have out of my estate fifteen pounds a year and the milk of such cows she shall choose with the use of the aforesaid horse.
I will and bequeath to my beloved son George five hundred pounds, two hundred pounds one year after my decease, the rest to be paid in yearly amounts of fifty pound a year until it is all paid out.
I will and bequeath to my beloved daughter Mary Scott one hundred pounds to be paid one year after my death also to her five children I will twenty pounds apiece when they reach the age of twenty one years.
I will and bequeath to my beloved daughter Jenny four hundred pounds to be paid one hundred pounds one year after my decease and fifty pounds a year thereafter until the whole be paid. This together with the maintenance as usual in the house till married and a horse worth 20 pounds with best bed and furniture belonging to me.
I will to and bequeath to my beloved son William Clingan the whole of the remainder of my estate real and personal and already bequeath heirs and assigns forever on the condition that he pay the several legacies herein bequeathed to the legacees to whom it is bequeasted.
Last of all I do appoint my beloved son William Jr. and George to be my executors...
William Clingan Jr. was perhaps the best known of the early Clingan family. I do not know why Thomas named a son William Jr. Perhaps the Jr. was given him to identify him as a different man than his uncle William, or perhaps it was given to honor his brother William seeing that he had no issue. Nevertheless, William Junior made his mark in the world of his day. 1. Thomas Clingan b.c1723 d.1788 2.

Here is an article I found in "Notes and Queries of Pennsylvania" concerning William Jr. and His new bride, Jane, aka Jean, Roan.
Jane Roan, the second daughter of John Roan and his wife Anne Cockran Leckey Roan was born May 3, 1753, in Derry Township, Lancaster PA. Her father was for thirty years the honored and revered pastor of the united congregations of Derry, Paxtang and Conewago, and whose remains are interred in Derry church graveyard. Her mother was a daughter of James Cochran and his wife,Anne, having had for her first husband William Leckey. She is the sister of Dr. John Cochran, one of the most distinguished surgeons of the revolutionary army.
Jane Roan, besides being one of the most beautiful of frontier women, was well educated and of refinement. Her marriage on the eleventh of June 1778, was the occasion of a notice in the Pennsylvania Packet which was so characteristic and unusual for that or any newspaper of the period that is herewith embodied: "Was married, last Thursday, Mr. William Clingan Jr. of Donegal, to miss Jenny Roan, of Londonderry, both of the County of Lancaster. A sober, sensible, agreeable young couple and very sincere Whigs. This marriage promises as much happiness as the state of things in this our sinful world wi redmit." This was truly a Whig wedding, as there were present many young men and ladies, and not one of the gentlemen but had been out when called on in the service of his country, and it is well known that the groom in particular had proved his heroism, as well as Whigism, in several battles and skirmishes. After the marriage was ended, a motion was made and heartily agreed to by all present, that the unmarried young ladies should form themselves into an associationby the name of,"Whig Association of the Unmarried Ladies of America," in which they would pledge their honor that they would never give their hand in marriage to any gentleman until he had first proved himself a patriot, in readily turning out when called upon to defend his country from slavery, by a spirited and brave conduct, as they would no wish to be the mothers of a race of slaves and cowards. Mr Clingan had already participated in the battles of Trenton Princeton and Brandywine and Germantown, and subsequintly served several tours on the frontier. He was the son of William (This is erronious,it should read Thomas) of Chester County, whose services to his country are a permanent historic record. After the war of the revolution, Mr. and Mrs. Clingan removed to the Buffulo Valley where they resided until their death. Their home in that locality was widely celebrated for their hospitality, and none shown the brighter in all that adorns women,than Jane Roan Clingan. Mr. Clingan died May 24,1822 at the age of 66 years while his wife survived until May 7,1838. They left 7 children of which five married and left families. Their desendents are scattered over the union. "Notes and Queries of Pennsylvania"
As we have seen William Jr. married the daughter of John Roan, the man with whom his father and his father's brothers came to America. I have an abstract of the will of Anne Roan, the wife of John Roan which I will type here with the hope it might provide some information for other researchers down the road: Chester County April 21, 1788 -- Oct. 14, 1788
To my three daughters Jean (Jane)Clingan, Elizabeth Clark and Mary Roan a tract of land in Northumberland County. All my arrearages due me from the widows fund and all my books to be divided by my brother in law Rev. Alex Mitchell. To daughter Elizabeth And Mary & grandson Richard Mcclure all arrearages of my dower due from estate of my former husband Alex Lackey of Sadsburg.(She was married to this man before marrying John) To son Flavel Roan 15 pounds. To grandaughter Anne Clingan bed and to grandson John Clingan a book. Executors to set a stone over grave of my late husband Rev. John Roan. This is the inscription which was placed on the stone she ordered in her will: "Beneath this stone are deposited the remains of an able and faithful, Couragous and successful minister of Jesus Christ. The reverend John Roan pastor of Patton Derry and Mount Joy Congregations from 1745 til October 3,1775 when he exchanged a militant for a Triumphant life in the 59th year of his age."
This information sent from Jean Pizzaro, family genealogist is taken from Pennsylvania Genealogies pg.605-610. John (Roan) and his brother Andrew, were sons of Archibald Roan, a native of Scotland, who settled in Grenshaw, Ireland about 1690. This is where John was born, the genealogy says Andrew migrated to America in the year 1739, in company with his brother, John Roan. Andrew's son Archibald lived with John after Andrew's death and later moved to, and eventually became the second governor of the state of Tennessee.
Another genealogist passes along this information concerning the Roans:
Rev. John Roan was born in Greenshaw, Ireland April 30, 1717. He began the study of the languages, (Hebrew and Greek, and probably Latin, the Languages of the Bible; My note) September 25, 1729. He left Ireland July 6,1739 and landed in America the following Sept. 3.

CHAPTER THREE GEORGE CLINGAN We don't know a great deal about George Clingan. He was born c.1720 in Ireland or Scotland and died at an advanced age circa 1778. Sue Maxwell shares this: “His will was dated March 20,1778 and was probated April 29,1778”. As you noticed earlier, I believe, though others may disagree with me, he and his brothers traveled to America wiht John Roan in c.1739.
In the book, "The Clingan Clan" By Floyd Bullock, we are told that Thomas Jefferson Clingan, in a letter to his brother, Robert Lee Clingan, said the first Clingans settled in Mercer County PA near where present day Sharon PA stands. It is interesting to me that Thomas Jefferson says George was the patriarch of the family and names only three sons as his family. William, John and Edward. Bullock says,"in searching American Revolution records from the state of PA we find the following listed: George, Thomas, and Michael(and it gave his birthplace as London England), William and James. Most,if not all were from Lancaster County PA. The only new name we find in the list is Michael.
According to our present day research,George was born c.1720, came to this country c.1739 and acquired his first known recorded property in the Lancaster area, a land grant in East Caln, Chester County PA. in 1744, therefore, if what Thomas Jefferson Clingan wrote has any basis, we would have from 1739 to 1744 for a journey into Mercer County and the return. We are told in the query we saw earier by Russel Webb the Edward and two older brothers took a trip to Mercer County at Edwards 16th birthday. It is possible that they made a trip up there to take care of some business for George which was started between 1739 and 1744. I personally believe George never went there after his initial visit, but remained in Lancaster PA area all the rest of his life. I believe the story of the three older sons going there in 1768 and doing their business has merit. It is possible that William and John stayed up there since we evidently have no record of them in the Lancaster area. Why would they stay? To take care of things. I do know in the Mercer counties census there were a John, William and Edward Clingan at one time or another.
Nevertheless, why is it that Edward, Thomas Jefferson's ggrandfather, never mentioned any of George's children with the exception of William and John, two older brothers? Is it possible that he never had anything to do with his father's second family or his wife Margaret Kirkpatrick. I believe that is a very good possibility. And would dictate to all Clingan researchers that we should be looking for evidence that there was a first marriage. Then again, why did James Clingan pick up and move his new wife, Elizabeth, to Mercer county shortly after his marriage. I submit the possibility that he went there to take over some property George or his sons may have acquired in their days in Mercer County.
However, if what Thomas Jefferson Clingan wrote is truth. All of our present day research is out the window and trumped up, we can't all be right! Read this exerpt form a letter Thomas wrote to Floyd's grandmother, Levia Bullock and I quote:
Levia, I have wrote a history of the Clingan family. It reaches back to 1750, when my ggrandfather (Edward Clingan) was born and comes down to the present. Some of my ggranfather's writing is a 147 years old, and is as plain as print. He was a school teacher by profession. If I was able, I would have it printed in pamphlet form and give all my children a copy. My ggrandfather Clingan's father's name was George. My ggrandfather (Edward) came from England about the year 1768 and settled in Pennsylvania ( of course we know that this was not true, Edward returned from Mercer County about this time, but as we have already seen, he was born in this country in 1750) and went from Virginia to Tennessee about the year 1790, and settled in Rhea County Tennesse, where your grandfather Clingan was born and raised.; and he moved to Bradley County Tennessee, about the year 1832, where we were all born but your uncle George, who was born in Arkansas. My ggrandfather's given name was Edward, same as your grandfathers.
Once again, before I go on, my opinion of the opening chapter of "The Clingan Clan". Between the four contributers there appears to be a scrambled conglomeration based on hearsay, mythical stories and the ramblings of a man in his last years, trying to remember what was said in his gggrandfathers Bible which had been been destroyed by a house fire.
Besides the property George acquired in East Caln, Chester County PA he recieved some land in 1762 in Donegal Twp. Lancaster PA. His name appears on the tax records of Lancaster County, Donegal twp. 1769-1772. He purchased a tract of land known as Carroll's Delight which at that time was a Maryland property and was first recorded in Fredrich County Maryland in their deed book page 46 or folio 46. Evidently as a result of further survey of the area it was found that the Plantation was actually in York County PA and was then recorded in the deed book of York County. Robert Clingan ([email protected]) of Mississippi has found a record of the transfer of the Carrol's Delight property from West Virginia to Pennsylvania. It is Tract MM-540E of Carrol's Delight first recorded in Fredrich County, Maryland, then transfered to Adams County PA. he thinks this was done when it was determined that the land was actually in Pa.
A history titled Clingans and related Families has this to say. "George Clingan ...... moved from Donegal Twp., Lancaster County to the western part of Marsh Creek Settlement west of Gettysberg PA about 1772. Although the Mason Dixon line had proved the land lay in PA, a deed of 1772 in the Fredrick Courthouse conveyed (Transferred)375 acres for 1650 pounds from John Hall to George Clingan of Donegal Twp. The tract began next to South Mt. at a chestnut tree bearing 12 notches at the corner of John Withrow's plantation. In 1764, this tract had been granted to Charles Carrol Esq. of Annapolis, to William Lockery and in the same year to John Hall". An earlier discription of the same property was given in 1755 when it was sold to William McClean. He bought two tracks of land of 200 acres each in Caroll's Delight from Daniel Caroll. (The deed is indexed William McClane (McClean) at the Fredrick Courthouse). The first tract started near the south branch of Marsh Creek and lay west of the land belonging to Ephriam Johnson. The second tract started at a beech tree with 12 notches on the north side of the south branch of Marsh Creek. This place was at the corner of Land where Hance Patton lived and was the easternmost corner of Carroll's Delight.
I believe he married a lady named Margaret Kirkpatrick. There are those who would question Margaret Kirkpatrick as the true wife of George, but until I am given unrefutable proof that she was not the lady I will not change the history.
A query I found by one Russell Webb, hints at the idea that George may have been married before he married Margaret. We are told in the query that Edward, born in 1750, moved to Mercer Co PA in 1768 with two of his brothers, John and William, (we know there were no brothers in the family of George and Margaret with those names. Therefore, the query was either wrong, or George had children by a previous marriage).
There are records saying there were men in Mercer couny named John and William. It does not say they were brothers, simply that they were there. If they were Edward's brothers, they apparently opted to remain there when Edward returned to Lancaster County to claim his bride prior to 1774. Because there is no further mention of them.
If,indeed,this is true, it lends credance to the possibility concerning a notion I have had for sometime now that my ggggreat grandfather,John Clingan, came from Mercer County to Bourbon KY. And it would mean that I am also from the family of George Clingan. The Clingan family conducted a DNA test of five Clingan lines this year, 2002, to see if there was any possibility that we all might be of the same roots. They were represented by: Robert Clingan of the PA line, myself of the Tipp City Ohio line, and three others of the Iowa line, the Trumbull County Ohio line and The Allegany Co PA line now based in West Virginia. The results returned showed that all five of those tested were exact matches means we are of the same roots within a space of 300 years. This is intrigueing, showing that this senario could actually be true. I invite you to look at my Word program of my Tipp City line on the Clingan Connection for a further discussion of this topic.
George Clingan's first family might look something like this, if, indeed, the query has any credance: 1.George Clingan b.c.1720 +????? 1721-c.1751 m.1741 2,William Clingan b.c.1743 2.John Clingan b.c.1746 2.Edward Clingan b.1750
Margaret's father, Hugh, died c.1766 to 1768. She had a brother, also named Hugh Kirkpatrick, who possibly migrated to North Carolina and Tennessee with her son Edward. (See Edward's Chapter) Another of George’s sons, Thomas, married an Elizabeth McClean and moved over to Frederick County Maryland. There is some question in my mind as to whether he moved to Maryland or Maryland moved to include him. I have been told and also read that the borders of the two states were constantly in a state of flux until after 1800. I have also been told, I believe by Robert Clingan, that the move he made was only about 8 miles, which certainly makes a boundary change feasable.
Here is a reproduction of George Clingan's will, as closely as I can make it out:
IN THE NAME OF GOD AMEN the twentieth day ofMarch, in the year of our Lordone thousand seven hundredand twenty seven, I George Clingan of Hamilton Bann township, in the county of York, and the province of Pennsylvania...... ,being very sick and weak of body, but in pefect mind and memory, Thanks be given unto God.

From "Notes and Queries of Pensylvania" I have the names of George's family, his children are: 1. George Clingan +Margaret Kirkpatrick (Name is from wills and deduction)
As we come to the family of Thomas Clingan we learn that he was the executer of his father's will. He was only 12 years old at the time and carried a huge wieght of responsability. I. He was to see that his mother received 20 pounds every year for five years. 2.He must see that his mother has horses and a carriage to drive, and he was to maintain them. 3. He must supply a driver for the carriage. 4. He was to see that Margaret continued to enjoy the service of their slave girl, Dinah. 5. He was instucted to pay 100 pounds to his sisters, Mary, Margaret. Hannah,Elizabeth and Catherine.
An article entitled "Within The Vines" producedd by one Cynthia Swope http://.www.cynthiaswope.com/withinthevines/mccudy/mcrobert/gen2.html
Says, if I understand her correctly, that Geeorge Clingan was the son of Michael Clingan. I have read this in two other articles on the net and I am about convinced that this is true.
In 1791, Thomas and his wife, Elizabeth McClean Clingan of Hamiltonban Twp., sold to Benjamin Reed a tract of adjoining lands of David and Thomas McClellan which they had bought from Godfrey Lenhart (York deed 2G-129). Also in 1791 a deed at York conveyed 238 acres of Carroll's Delight (Bought from Carroll in 1764) from Thomas Clingan Sr. of Hamiltonban Twp to a group cosisting of Dr. George Clingan, son Thomas, The brother of George, Moses McClean, of Franklin Twp., Ebenezer Finley, and David Agnew of Hamiltonban Twp. In 1793, another deed, the right of Elizabeth to 225 acres to the same group. They immediately sold the land to John Ray.
Since the Clingans and the McClean families were so closely allied in the Marsh Creek area and tied together by matrimony, I feel led to give this article taken from the McClean Exchange. This page appeared for a time on the internet during the 1990s but passed from the scene about 1999 or so. For some of you who never read it, this may be a help.
Adams County, PA
R 718 book: Some early settlers of Frederick and Carroll Counties, MD and Adams County PA, also descendents cerca 1725-1985, Volume 1; C.E. Shnildknecht, Editor page 275-279.
Early McClean families: "THE MCCLEAN FAMILY FILE" IN YORK HISTORICAL SOCIETY shows clearly that Elizabeth McClean or McClane married Thomas Clingan (The son of George Clingan b.1720) was a granddaughter of the prominemt Scottch- Irish pioneer who in 1733 married Elizabeth Rule in Londonderry, Ireland. These newly weds left at once for America along with his brother Archibald.
Prior to the Scotch rebellion several McCleam families had moved from Scotland to Ireland. William McClean, the immigrant to Pa, had been born on the Isle of Mull of the west coast of Scotland. The file at York has a picture of the McClean clan's Cross at Iona near the Isle of Mull. William and (upon their arrival in PA) then settled in the Marsh Creek area west of the present Gettysburg. A file in the Adams Historicaal Society has a picture of the William McClean house in Highland TWP northeast of Fairfield PA. It had an elongated shape charactistic of North Scotlanm Nowegian and Viking houses. It was here that his children were born, with the exception of the eldest.
In1755, William McClean bought two tracts of land (each about 200 acres) in Carrroll's Delight from Daniel Carroll (indexed as McClain in the Frederick County Courthouse) The first tract started near the south branch of Marsh Creek and lay west of the land of Ephraim Johnson. The second tract started at a beach tree with 12 notches on the north side of the south branch of Marsh Creek. This place was at a corner of land where hance Patton lived and was the eastermost corner of Carroll's Delight. The next deed in the book at Frederick is that of Charles Carroll, lawyer of Annapolis, to John Miller, who started the inn in Present day Fairfield.
The Children of William McClean 1702-June 13,1785 and Elizabeth Rule 1707- July 17, 1784 were as follows:
1.William Jr. Dec 26,1733- Sept. 12,1807 m.Jane Withrow. He was a Captain in the Revolutionary War. Born in Montgomery County.
2.Archibald, Oct.26,1736 - April1786 a lawyer and leading citizen of York PA and Grandfather of Archibald Clingan.
2.Moses Jan.10,1737- 1810 m. Sarah Charlesworth Children: John, Sarah, Rachel and Rebecca.
Between these two marriages, Mose was captured and held captive for a period of 7 years.
(Apparently nothing is known of the disposition of his first family. at least nothing is said concerning them). m#2. Sarah Watkins or Collins 8 Children. Children: William, Moses Jr., Archabald, Alex, Sarah, Hester, Lucy and Margaret.
Moses Descendants are given in the file at th Adams County Historical Society in Gettyburg. In Later life Moses moved tto Chillicothe Ohio.
4.John May 11,1740- Sept.14,1825 moved to western PA.
5.Samuel Sept 30, 1744 lived at Fayette Co PA
6.Alexander Nov.10,1746 m.1775 Sarah Holmes; lived at Uniontown PA
7.Elizabeth Feb.6,1749 -Oct 6,1776 m.James Johnson.
8.Joseph July 1,1752 -Oct.6,1776
William and Elizabeth are buried at Lower Marsh Creek Cemetery west of Gettysburg.
Seven of William's sons became surveyors, of whom Archibald aand Moses are the most remebered as leaders in early PA. There is more information on Moses, including his maps and surveys at Gettysburg and more on Archibald, the layer and father of Elizabeth McClean Clingan in the records at York PA.
Archibald McClean was born on the McClean farm north west of present day Gettysburg. In 1759 he married Ann Trump d.Sept.4,1770. She was of Dutch descent
He and Moses assisted Mason and Dixon in laying out the PA boundary with the Delaware and Maryland. Their work extended from a circle near New Castle to the mountains westward where it was stopped by indians in 1767. Along with David Rittenhouse of Philedelphia and Captain J. Montressor of the British Army, Archibald was comissioned to establish the latitude and longitude of New York City.
In 1773, Archibald was elected chairman of the committee of safety of York County, of which my ancestor Thomas Fisher was a member (George Clingan was also a member of that group). In 1776 he was elected to represent York County at the first PA Assembly held in Philedelphia.
Archibald was prohonorary of York County from 1777 to the year of his death, 1786, and was succeeded by his son-in-law, Jacob Barnitz. Archibald was prsident of a meeting in York on June 18, 1779 oppossing depreciation of Continental currency. The McClean family lost much of their wealth as a result of that depreciation of currency.
After the death of his wife, Ann Trump, Archibald married a second time in 1777 to one Mart Jean Trout of Abindton PA. She died in February of 1779. Archibald and his family lived on the Northeast corner of the Center square in York PA. later known as Spahr Corner.
When the Continental Congress met in York, the McClean house was temporarily the office of the Treasury Department.
In his later life, he returned to the home of his youth, west of Gettysburg. He built a mill at the foot of North Mountain where he died in 1786.
According to a letter from a Mrs. Luella Swigart, in the file at York the children of Archibald and Mary Ann (May 4,1743- Feb 28,1785) were as follows: (1) ELIZABETH, b. April 25, 1760, m. THOMAS CLINGAN, Jan. 3, 1762- Dec. 21, l839 (2) MARY, Jan. 3, 1762 - Dec. 21, l839, m. JACOB BARNITZ (3) LEVI, b. Sept. 6, 1764 (4) ANN, m. SAMUEL LEACH (5) ALEXANDER, b. July 8, 1770 (6) REBECCA, m. SAMUEL ERWIN (7) HESTER RULE, b. Jan., 1785 (8) JESSICA The file at York states that MARY BARNITZ was born in the house built by her father on the corner of York Center Square and North George Street. Her mother MARY received an official vote of thanks for her work in caring for soldiers in the Rev. War. The files of the York Historical Soc. show that McCLEAN families also used the spellings McCLANE and McCLAIN. For example, a WILLIAM McCLANE (1762-1798) was buried in Prospect Hill Cemetery in York. SAMUEL McCLAIN (1809-64), wife ANNA MARIA (1807-83) and children are buried in the Lutheran Cemetery in Shrewsbury Twp. SAMUEL H. McCLAIN and wife LILLIE are buried at Mt. Qion, Springettsbury Twp. In the York file is a tremendous collection of newspaper clippings concerning PA descend- ants of McCLEANs using many spellings.
The statement in the McCLEAN file at York that ELIZABETH, daughter of ARCHIBALD McCLEAN and granddaughter of WILLIAM McCLEAN, settler in the Marsh Creek area, married THOMAS CLINGAN is in accord with the following records: GEORGE CLINGAN, son of MICHAEL, moved from Donegal Twp., Lancaster co., to the western part of Marsh Creek Settlement west of later Gettysburg about 1772. A deed of 1772 in the Frederick Courthouse conveyed 375 acres for 1650 pounds from JOHN HALL (wife ELIZABETH) to GEORGE CLINGAN of Donegal Twp. The tract began next to South Mt. at a chestnut tree bearing 12 notches at the corner of JOHN WITHEROW's plantation. In 1764 this tract had been granted by CHARLES CARROLL Esquire, lawyer of Annapolis, to WILLIAM LOCKERY and in the same year to JOHN HALL. I found no other CLINGAN deeds in the Frederick Courthouse before 1830 except two to WILLIAM. (Balance of article deals with the CLINGAN family and will not be presented here.)

I believe this might indicate that the first wife probably died in childbirth.

"The Clingan Clan" says that Clingan Kincade was in Anderson County, TN in the 1830 census between ages 30 and 40 also listed was a Thomas Kincade, between the ages of 80 and 90. This was no doubt his father. In the 1840 census Thomas was not listed, so we might assume he passed away at that period of time

The following is pretty much of a guess, but I feel it has validity: 4.Andrew Jackson Clingan b.1820 Williams adopted son. He raised his family in Madison County Ohio, in and around London Ohio. A web page on Andrew may be found on most search engines. Paul Sweeet has convinced me that Andrew was truly the adopted son of a William Clingan and one Sarah Guyton widow of Henry Guyton. He found it in "Washinton County, Maryland Marriages, an Index 1799-1860" In the same book is found the marriage of Henry Guyton and Sarah Simpkins December 25,1805. Mr. Sweet feels Andrew was probably the offspring of this marriage. Mr. Sweet says that on February 25,1829 Andrew Jackson Guyton of Washington County Maryland changed his name to Andrew Jackson Clingan.his source is "Mary Keysor Meyer, divorces and Names changed in Maryland(by act of the Legislature 1634-1854 Chapter 133, published 1970" The only problem we have with this William being the father of Andrew is that Elisabeth McGoffin Clingan did not die until 1848. Meaning, for this to be true William would have had to have a divorce before 1825, so this remains a mystery until further information can be found

CHAPTER FOUR EDWARD CLINGAN Jean Pizzaro, another Clingan Genaologist sends along this item from the Jefferson County marriage records: Edward Clingan to Gennet(Jennet)Kincaid 4-10-1792, bondsman Charles Hodges. Sue Maxwell says the date of Marriage should be October 11,1792. I do not know,we have two different researchers at odds so I’ll put both dates and let time be the judge. Hugh Kirkpatrick to (Married to) Ruth Temples 2-27-1793. Bondsman was David Kirkpatrick.
Robert Clingan [email protected] ,another Clingan family genealogist, sends along this info:
Hugh Kirkpatrick grant, registered November 17, 1793. Henrietta Kirkpatrick who delves in both the Kirkpatrick and Clingan genealogies, and Sue Maxwell says that Hugh and David, sons of Hugh Sr. were not in Tennessee, Henrietta says that Hugh Jr. settled in Maryland and Sue is of the opinion that the Hugh, David and John found with Edward are sons of David, son of Hugh Sr.. Since I do not know the age factor I can not dogmatically say one way or the other. grant #875 Territory south of the Ohio river, Jefferson County, state of North Carolina. Grant Number 875 for 100 acres at ten pounds per 100, to Hugh Kirkpatrick .... lieing and being in the county of Green on Bowman's branch a fork of Lost Creek in Clyingan improvement, beginning at a post oak and pine along John Kirkpatricks line,(Don't know who this man is yet, possibly another brother)then north ninty poles to a post oak thence west 104 poles to a stake and then a course to the beginning. Granted by Alexander Martin, Governor at Fayettville
Hugh Kirkpatrick Sr. left this will: From Pennslyvania Will Extracts. 1682-1834 Philidelphia County Wills. pg.53 Kirkpatrick, Hugh West Nottingham.
March 19,1766 May 18,1768 To son John all real estate and personal. To David, 5 pounds. To sons Hugh and William, daughters Margaret Clinging, Hanna Barkley, Elizabeth Nisbet, and Mary McConnel 20 shillings each, they having had their portion already. Witnesses:Robert Givens; James Patterson
This will proves three things: 1. One that Hugh Kirkpatrick Sr. was father to Margaret Clinging(Clingan). 2. That Hugh Jr. was the brother of Margaret. 3. That Margaret Kirkpatrick was the wife of a Clingan. Since we know the wives of William and Thomas and since we know that George's wife's name was Margaret, it leaves us little room for doubt.
Edward Clingan married his second wife Jennet Kicaid in Jefferson County NC 4-10-1792 or Oct.11,1792, it is possible, perhaps probable, that the Clyingan improvement spoken of in the grant to Hugh Kirkpatrick in 1793 was the Property of Edward Clingan.
I do not know that we know the exact date Edward traveled south to the NC and Tennessee area(As I understand it, the area they moved to in North Carolina which later became Green County Tennessee and later still Jefferson County Tennessee.) The reason for this being that the state and county lines were in a mode of perpetual change in the early days of statehood. The boundaries did not become a permanent until the early 1800's
Here’s an article from the internet which will give you an idea of the changes going on at that time: Most of us have found that researching the early settlers of Tennessee can be quite perplexing. Although Tennessee did not become a state until 1796, many of the eastern counties were formed much earlier than that date. Washington County was the first formed in 1777, then Sullivan (formed from Washington)in 1779, Greene in 1783(Washington changed to Greene) and then Hawkins was formed in 1786 from Sullivan. History books tell us that these four counties were in the southwest Territory or “The territory south of the Ohio River” which was created around May 1790. By direction of the territorial governor, militia captains took a census in July 1791, the county lines had not changed from 1790. What does that mean to you? Many things. The one thing is that if you find your ancestor in , say Greene County in the early 1790’s, but in Cocke County in the early 1800’s, they did not necessarily pack up and move. Depending on the area of Cocke County they lived in between 1790 and 1800, they could have lived in the following Counties: Greene 1783, Jefferson 1792, or Cocke 1797. Nevertheless, Edward was married in 1792 after his move south. It seems probable that Hugh Kirkpatrick and David,his brother, who served as bondsman at Hugh’s wedding to Ruth Samples in 1793, went south with him. We need to keep in mind that these guys, David and Hugh Could be either brothers, or as Henrietta said above , father and son. The Kirkpatricks, Hugh and David, may have stayed with Edward until his marriage to Janette Kincaid in 1792 forced further arrangements. For example the taking of Hugh’s land grant and his marriage the following year. Perhaps more research will give us more facts.

Geneologist Sue Maxwell [email protected] offers this word of helpful information: "My ancestor, the son of Edward Clingan, George Washington Clingan, and his brother both had land in Washington County TN when they sold it and moved (north about 1810). John Patton Clingan went to Harrison County Indiana" George went to Hamilton County Ohio) my brackets. "The Civil War records concerning my grandfather, James (son of George Washington) says he was born in Hamilton County, Ohio." This is in the Cincinatti area. I have not been able to find any kind of land record in this area for George Washington Clingan. Now this is located on the Ohio River and actually, not that far from where John Patton Clingan lived in Harrison County Indiana. Therefore, I am wondering if it were some kind of river work they were doing. (A word of comment by me) "I believe it was about this time the work on the Erie Canal which flowed from Cincinnati to Cleveland Ohio was underway, This could have been the motovation for the move to Ohio".
George's brother, John Patton Clingan married Margaret Kindle,the daughter of George Kindle and Maria Crecelius When George,her father died, Maria Crecelius married again to George John Patton Clingan married Margaret Peggy Clingan c.1810. Margaret was Harmon, making him the step-father of Margaret Kindle. John died between 1816 1nd 1818. His widow married Steven Westfall in 1818.
I have a record sent from one Wayne Cole, gggreat grandson of Margarita and Joseph Cole, which states John Patton Clingan was private in the 2nd Regiment (Lillard's) of the East Tennessee Volunteers during the war of 1812, fighting against the British in the Battle of New Orleans under General Andrew Jackson in January of 1815. He found this information in the National Archives, Washington D.C., index to Military service, m602, roll #41.
He also states, John Patton handled a land transaction in East Tennessee early in 1818, as we noted above, he had land in Washington County Tennessee, perhaps he didn't sell all of it at the time, before moving to Indiana. Since his wife, Peggy, married Stephan Westfall on May 2,1818. It is highly possible that John may have died while making that trip to East Tennessee.
Chapter Five GEORGE WASHINGTON CLINGAN 1.George Clingan +Margaret Clingan 2. EDWARD CLINGAN +Elizabeth Patton 3.George Washington Clingan b.Oct. 26,1789 d.10-14- 1830 +Jeanette Cloyd m. abt.1810 in Washington TWP TN d.1830 Dau. of William & Jeanette Barr Cloyd
Edward Hamin Clingan moved to Arkansas about 1841 to live in Clark County near the home of Edward Clingan Jr. He was known to everyone around him as "big Ed".
William Cloyd moved his family from Pennsylvania to Washington County Tennessee shortly after 1800, several of his children married in that location two of them married Patton people and one married George W. Clingan. After George and Jeanette's marriage and the birth of Edward Hamin "Big ED" Clingan about 1811. George and Jeanette and possibly John Patton Clingan and some others move north. John with his new wife Peggy Kinell moving to Harrison County Indiana and George and Jeanette to Hamilton County Ohio. Sue Maxwell said she found land records for Washington Co TN. Which showed Peggy Kindle and John Patton Clingan were married and lived in Washington County TN . She also says there is a possibility that John was a Methodist preacher.
I'm thinking the thing which precipitated this move back to Ohio was the news of good, steady work which revealed that the Erie Canal was in the process of being built from Cincinnati to Cleveland Ohio. We know that George first went to Cincinnati, Hamilton County Ohio because some of his children were born there, Sue Maxwell says George and Jeanette never went beyond Hamilton County Ohio. I will bow to her superior experience in genealogical work and go along with it. However, I do believe work on the Erie Canal was the purpose of their move north. The work on the canal was completed somewhere in the area of 1826 to 1829 and George and his family was back in Tennessee at the 1830 census.
Here is a short study on William Cloyd and his famiy which will probably be a blessing to some:

George Washington Clingan 2 b. 1821 and some of his brothers and sisters moved to Tishomingo Mississippi around 1840 and served in the civil war. This information comes from one of their descendents named Sarah Holcombe and her brother Robert. George Washington Clingan 2 and another George Washington Clingan Jr.,probably the son of George 2’s brother William, enrolled at Cape Horne on Bear Creek MS on June 30,1861. They were marched 25 miles to Luka to muster in to Company h, 26th Mississippi Vols. George 2 was forty and George Jr. 17 at the time. Muster rolls show that George 2 was wounded at Fort Donnelson and sent to Nashville avoiding capture. George Jr. was taken sick and taken to Nashville. The elder Clingan was furloughed while George Jr. was attached to the 32nd Mississippi Vols and participated in Bragg’s invasion of Kentucky. He was killed in action, probably at munfordville. George 2 did not return to the army, his regiment was detached and ordered to Virginia on December 15,1863 and George was listed as absent without leave from March 1884 to the wars end.

Floyd Bullock had a little to share on Jeanette Clingan Webb, daughter of George Washington Clingan in his book"The Clingan Clan":
We have recently learned that Jeanette Clingan was the daughter of G.W. Clingan..... let me start at the beginning. On July 15,1964, I received the following letter:
Dear Mr. Bullock:
In a back issue of the "Genealogical Heelper" I saw your announcement that you wish to exchange data on, among other families,that of Clingan in PA VI and TN.
I am seeking information of Jeanette Clingan who was born in Hamilton Co TN in 1927. She married Benjamine Webb in 1848 and had eight children. Sha died near Figure Five, AR in 1923.....can you help me? signed Anne Galloway
Ann Galloway herself finally found the evidece concerning Jeanette’s relationship to the Clingans in Goodspeed's "History of Northwest Arkansas":
"Mrs. Jeanette Webb was born in Hamilton County TN, and is the daughter of George W. and Jennette Cloyd. George.....was probably born and reared in Ohio and immigrated from that state to TN in 1825, when part of the country was still in wilderness. He lived in TN until his death, August 1830. The mother, Jeanette Cloyd was born in Ohio, and coming to TN died a week after her husband did...... Mrs Webb, the subject of this sketch, was born April 20,1827, and passed her early life with an uncle on the Hiwassie Purchase. After two living two years among the indians in the Indian Nation, she was taken to Hamilton Co TN and made her home with Joseph Roark, until her marriage, in 1847, to Benjamin Webb.
Mrs Webb resided in TN until 1871 and then lived one year in Missouri. Since that time she has lived in Crawford Co AR, and since the death of her husband, July 22, 1881, has continued farming on the old place. She is a lady of more than ordinary business ability, and is an active member of the Missionary Baptist Church."

All of George Washington Clingan Sr.'s children were born in Hamilton County Ohio except for Jennette and Margaret and Edward Hamin Clingan his firstborn
George Washigton Clingan was born in Jefferson County Tennessee October 26,1789. According to Clingan genealogist Sue Maxwell. The Clingans began their southern trek Pennsylvania to Tennessee sometime around 1789, which was the first year Edward's name appeared on a Greene County tax list. As we saw earlier he must have been involved in what was called the Clyingan improvement. Elizabeth and he no doubt worked shoulder to shoulder during the twenty years of life together in Tennessee. Twenty years after they arrived in that place she passed on to her reward.
Edward's sons, John Patton Clingan and George Washington Clingan owned land patents in Washington County Tennessee in 1810. A record of Tennessee men who served in the army during the War of 1812 shows that Elizabeth's sons John Patton and George Washington and Jennet's sons William Davidson Clingan and Thomas Kind Clingan served for a period of time in that war. The duration of time we do not know.
Somewhere between 1811 and 1819, Jean Pizzaro reports, George and John moved to Hamilton County Ohio where all but two of their children were to be born. She also says that John Patton Clingan settled in Harrison County in southern Indiana. George Washington’s last son, William was born in 1825 in Ohio and Jennett was born in 1827 at Hamilton County Tennessee, which means between 1825 and 1827 George and Jeanette moved back to Tennessee where George Washigton died in 1830 and his wife died shortly thereafter during the same year. The only one of George's sons which remained in Tennessee was James who lived in Sale Creek Tennessee, Hamilton County,Just outside Chattanooga TN. James is buried in the Shelton Cemetary in Sale Creek. The stone simply reads 1849-1920. Actually, this tombstone belongs to James the grandson of George W, but the birth date is still incorrect as he was born in 1847. Apparently all George Washington’s children went back with him to what had been Rhea county when they left, but in 1819 had become Hamilton County Tennessee. Nevertheless, four of the Children moved on to Tishimingo Mississippi after the death of their parents. John, George Washington 2 and William all made the move, along with their sister Margaret. I believe at least some of George 2's children moved there with him because I found two George Washinton Clingans on the Regimental Roll call of the 26th Mississippi Regiment Co. E and another George Clingan in the same Regiment; company A, during the days of the Civil War. I also Found a George Washington Clingan serving with the 6th Arkansa Calvary. Benjamin Webb, who I believe was a Cherokee Indian, took Jenette and moved to Clark County Arkansa. As I understand it the areas where these early Clingans lived were in the Indian Territories of North Carolina and Tennesse. This is probably why Jennette married into the Cherokee nation.
Sue Maxwell has found this informtion in the book "Tennessee Tidbits 1778-1914 Vol.3 page 71: Clinghan, George W. Died before 7 February 1831 when Alexander A. Clinghan and Thomas K. Clinghan were appointed administrators with Samuel Gamble and James Cowan as security. The wife of George W. Clinghan is also dead(Rhea TN. Ct P&OC/113) Alexander A. Clinhan was appointed gaurdian of Elizabeth Clinghan, George W. Clinghan, James Clinghan, Jane Clinghan and Margaret Clinghan, minor heirs with Robert Bell and William Russell as security(ibid 117)
CHAPTER SIX
EDWARD AND JENNET’S FAMILY Now on October 11,1792 after Elizabeth had died in April of 92, Edward took his second wife Jenett Kincaid. One genealogical study I have quotes one of Edward's grandsons, Thomas Jefferson Clingan, as saying Edward was a schoolteacher when he married Jennet.
Ron Bulloch sends along this tribute to Jannet Kinkaid, which I feel would be a blessing to any Clingan genealogist or interested observer:
I would like to write of one of my favorite Clingan ancestors. She was a Clingan by marriage, acually, but I think she shoould still count.
Her name was Jannet Kincaid Clingan, she was born March 26,1774 in PA and died in Clark County, AR February 9,1855, at the age of 80. She was the daughter of Thomas Kincaid and his unknown first wife. Following her mother's death she was likely less than six years old when her father married Hannah Clingan, daughter of George Clingan and Margaret Kirkpatrick.
Edward Clingan, Sr.(Son of George, and perhaps the half-brother of Hannah Clingan Kincaid) (My note here, The half brother comes from the assumtion and possibility, that George had a first wife and family before he married Margaret Kirkpatrick of whom Edward was probably the youngest.) Moved with Thomas Kincaid and his family from PA to TN about 1790. The first wife of Edward, Elizabeth Patton, died in TN on April 15,1792 leaving behind five children between the ages of from 2 and 17. (Edward was a school teacher and a good keeper of records so we are fortunate to know these dates)
Edward at the age of 42, married Jennet Kencaid,age 18, in Jefferson County Tennessee. This might have been a marriage more or less arranged by Hannah Clingan Kincaid, however this happened, Jennet became the mother of five at the age of 18, and more of her own children would soon follow, as born to her were:
Thomas Kincaid Clingan b,August 26,1793 William Davidson Clingan July 4,1795 Edward Clingan February 16,1797 David Clingan February 2,1799 Alexander Adams Clingan February 20, 1801 James Cowan Clingan May 6,1803 Matilda Clingan February 20,1805 Edward Clingan January 1808
Edward Sr. died on June 17,1807 at age 57, leaving Jennet, a 33 year old widow with 7 children between the ages of 1-13. Her eight year old son, Edward Jr. was not born until seven months after his father had died. As you can see from the list, there was an earlier son named Edward, but he had apparently died before January of 1808, when he was no more than ten years of age. Jennet never remarried, and it must have been a struggle to raise her children.
Edward Clingan Jr. married Frances Caroline Tims on May 1833 in Rhea County Tennessee and together they had seven children born to them between 1835 and 1845. These Children were born in Tennessee.
In 1846, Edward Jr. and his family left Tennessee in a four horse wagon, headed for Arkansa. Jennet Kincaid Clingan was 72 years old then and had several children in Tennessee with whom she could have, no doubt, stayed, but instead she piled into the wagon and came to Arkansa, and it is a good thing she did, because another child was born to Edward Jr. in Clark County Arkansa on May 1, 1848, But his wife Frances (Fanny) Tims Clingan died on December 23,1848, leaving behind eight children between 8 months and 13 years of age. Thus, Jennet was called upon to raise her third set of Clingan children, five of Elixzabeth's, 8 of her own, and now 8 of Edward Jr.'s.
One can look at the 1860 census of Clark Co AR and see the household of Edward Clingan age 42 and his 8 children, as well as his 76 year old mother, Jannet Clingan. She had journeyed from her home in PA, to Tennessee and finally to Clark County Arkansa. At some point a crossing, by ferry, of the mighty Mississippi River was made and later on the crossing of the Arkansa River at Little Rock. This was not a trip for the faint of heart.
Jennet lived until 1855, when the older daughters of Edward Jr. were able to care for the younger children. It is hard to see how they would have made it without thier Grandmother Clingan.
She lies buried in an unmarked grave somewhere in Clark County AR. She is gone but not forgotten. In addition to my own mother, I usually include Jannet Kincaid among those I remember on that day. Ron Bullock

Ralph Garlin Jr. sent this along in a form letter: Samuel Jefferson Clingan married Nancy Jane Irwin and moved to Arkansa to work in the coal mines, first in Russelville and then in a section of south Clarksville called Jamestown. Sam Clingan was born in 1880; his wife, Nancy, was born in 1888. Of their eight children, six survived to childhood, the youngest of which was my father, Ralph Garlin Clingan Sr. b.4-18-1914 in Russelville.
Ralph Sr. started working in the coal mines with my older brothers and father until the formation of the Civil Conservation Corps. With the start of the second world war, he enlisted in the Army, and participated in Patton's North African campaign, as well as the invasion of Italy. He was captured by the Germans in the Brenner Pass of Austria and spent six months in a Stalag in Munic, Germany. Awarded the Bronze Star for bravery, he returned to Arkansas, and moving next to Okmulgee OK to work at the American- St.Gobain Glass Factory. He served a sunion president, and on the contract team at the national level, as part of the AFof L/CIO Glass and ceramic workers.

He stated that his grandfather was the above named David Clingan, husband of Martha gross. He also said that David and Martha died in an epidemic in 1882 and left three children 6,4 and 2'. They are listed above under my outline of David’s family. Obviously he is confused in his thinking. As the David who married Martha Gross was the son of Elijah. We have a report of three Clingans from a Roark family named Henry, John and Marcane A. Clingan who may fit the bill for the three missing children in David's family. Time will tell.

Martha Blythe was the daughter of William Blythe and Nancy Fields. William Blythe owned and operated Blythe's ferry, a historic crossing place in pioneer days on the Tennessee River, and his wife Nancy, was the daughter of Richard Fields, a Cherokee chief who lived origionally on Sale Creek in Hamilton County TN and later became famous as the leader of the Texas band of the Cherokee tribe. Upon the formation of Bradley County after the Cherokee cessation of 1835, Alexander A. Clingan settled on a farm three miles northwest of Cleveland Tennessee on the present Georgetown Road where he lived until his death. He served the first sheriff of a newly formed Bradley County from 1837-1838 andd again from 1840-1846. Martha Blythe's gandparents were named: Ludovic Grant and Susanna ???. Since Martha Blythe was a full blooded American indian and Alexander Adam Clingan was white, all the children were half breed Cherokees and were eligable, under Government laws, to receive,in later years, a section of land in the soon to be formed Indian Territory as well as other benifits. From the book,"The Clingan Clan" by one Floyd Bullock I enclose a letter from a Peggy Clingan Hood to Edna Clingan Hanson regarding the matter of indian descendancy:
Chattanooga Tennessee January 18, 1965
Dear cousin Edna,
May I say thank you for your reply to my letter. I am sure the Lord directed me to you. In your letter today, you gave us some information which was a must, the maiden name of Grandmother (Martha)Blythe, who we now know to be the daughter of Richard Fields. This was the one question that had blocked us. Please continue to help us. I realized after writing you that our indian blood comes from the Blythe side, and not on the Clingan side; however,had it not been for you and all your knowledge of our families we would have been unable to qualify. No, you did not send me a copy of the 1952 genealogy and would you be lind enough to mail us one soon, as this too, may help us further. We think the payments are for the state of Oklahoma, which was never settled, however, we diddraw one small payment and only one, soon after my father died, as my father had all the papers finished before his death. My father was 20 years older than my motherr, leaving her with three small when still a girl. I will help you with all the information I have and can get on our Clingan family. Though I know veryu little, because they were all dead before I was born. There were 16 children in my father's family. In my life, I have never seen but one member of the immediate family, and I was too small to remember her, Martha Clingan Norman, who came from Muskogee Oklahoma, when my father died. She had a daughter, Mary and a son, Cyrus. One Cowan married two Clingan girls, his first wife died.
The family plot of Clingans lies on the old Clingan estate known now as Clingan Ridge, near Cleveland Tennassee, and only 30 miles from Chatanooga. I shall go there soon and see what I can find on the old tombstones. I should have this information for my own benifit anyway...... My brother was named for William Keith Clingan.
My Peggy was divorced from Larry Howell, no children. She is now 31 years old and a very beauutiful girl......
What we really need for information concerning our indian claim is more history on Grandmother Clingan. We know now she was Nancy Fields, but who was her mother? Her mother will conclude prooof of our indian blood, as we have only to show proof of three generations. I hope you friend can qualify, but I found it not easy to run down ancestry.
We will be looking forwardto hearing from you real soon. What we do about our claims will have to be done quickly, time runs out March 20th, and time is going by fast......
Lots of love,
PEGGY HOOD
Alexander was also named as a delegate from Bradley Couty to serve at the cessation convention at Knoxville where he voted no to the cessession of Tennessee from the union, of course his vote was overturned and most of Tennessee became a part of the Confederate States of America.

WILLIAM DAVIDSON AND MARY JANE BAUMGARNER CLINGAN
Clingan Ranch was well known for the cattle. William D(Davidson) Clingan was born November 25,1833, one of 16 children born to Alexander Adams and Martha Blythe Clingan in Bradley County Tennessee. His mother was the daughter of William and Nancy Field Blythe. Nancy Field was the daughter of Richard Field, a Cherokee Chief, who lived originally on Sale Creek in Hamilton County Tennessee, and who later became famous as the leader of the Texas band of the Cherokee nation.
William Clingan received his education and lived with his parents and 15 siblings,6 brothers and nine sisters, until The outbreak of the war between the states. He served the Confederate army s a First Lieutenant in Company K,15th Texas Calvary under General Beauregard.
After the war ended he served in the postal department. His next move was to Fort Gibson, Indian Territory. After due time he met Mary Jane Baumgarner and married her at Perryville, Choctaw Nation, on February 6,1870.
May Jane was the daughter of Samuel and Margaret Vicory Baumgarner, and was born on January 18,1845 on the Grand River. Going Snake District. Her family was well established near Fort Gibson, however the young couple set up housekeeping near Falls City, present day Okay, and six miles from Wagoner. Family descendants continue to live on the original home site that extends from the Verdigras River to a point three miles north.
At the time the young couple settled the land, one could possess all the land he could fence. The Clingan Ranch was known for the fine breed of cattle they raised. William was honored to run as the Democratic representatiive for Wagoner County, Indian Territory circa 1870.
The couple had six children, three sons, Willie,Samuel and Sherman, and three daughters,Martha Evelyn Lamon, Cora Mary Belcher and Adeline Wasson. When their home burned down in 1910 they were unable to rebuild because of their advanced age and moved into Wagoner. They set up a home on 8th Street where they stayed until William died March 31,1912.
Mrs. Clingan went to live with her daughter, Martha Lamon, until her death, March 3, 1923. Both are laid to rest at Elmwood Cemetery in Wagoner Oklahoma...

4.Thomas Jefferson Clingan b.Feb.4,1841 in Bradley Co TN His family moved to Clark Co ARK in 1847 when he was 6. d.March 27,1931. Fought in Civil War. Floyld Bullock's "The Clingan Clan" give this word concerning his life during and after the war. Served four years after he enlisted in 12TH Arkansas July 17,1861. On June 1,1862 he waS ATTACHED TO THE 33ARKANSAS, REGIMENT company H. He was promoted to 1st Seargeant August 1,1863. He was wounded in battle, shot in the left arm in Louisiana.
He was in Grinsted's Regiment.....Grinsted was killed at the battle of Jenkins Ferry and is buryed at Camden in the Old Confederate Cemetery.
Thomas was in several battles, but was wounded in the battle of Pleasant Hill, Louisiana, on the 8th day of April, 1864. Generals Kirby-Smith and Taylor led 1200 confederate troops in an indecisive batlle against 28,000 Federal troops led by one General Banks. The battle marked the last skirmish in Louisiana from that date to the surrender of the Trans- Mississippi Department on May 26,1865.
Thomas was honorably discharged from the service by parole on June 5,1865 In his pension record, found at Little Rock, the following entries discribe his war wound: Gunshot wound of the biceps of left arm, destoying part of said muscle.
On August 16,1902, he was awarded the huge pension of 25 dollars per year. This was raised to 100 dollars on July 12,1909.
He served two terms in the Arkansas legislature as a representative from Clark County. He served one term in 1881 with J.F. Biggs, and one term in 1883 with Gordon Deaton.
Thomas told Floyd's mother this story:
One fourth of July he(Thomas) was laying out by some corn. About that time,Kay Burton and ky Cash came by chasing a fox. He just couldn't stand it, so he quit plowing right then, unhitched his horse and left the plow right where it was, got on the horses back went on the fox chase with them.
Floyld's first cousin wrote this essay for a school assignment on May 15, 1962:
THE RACE THAT PREVENTED A CAPTURE
"He could hear the rider yelling orders to his horse, as they came through the woods close behind him. Tree limbs were popping and breaking. He had the feeling that any minute he 'd be run down. He knew he couldn't outrun a horse and get away, but he couldn't give up either. Without stopping or hardly thinking he ran through the thickest part of the woods. He went through briars and heavy under growth, ripping his clothes and skin as he ran, but he realized he was getting away. The rider had to find a path for his horse and was getting farther and farther behind. My great Grandfather, Thomas Jefferson Clingan, was the one who outran the horse. The Arkansas River didn't even stop him! When he got to the river it was already dark, but he swam, across anyway, knowing he would be safe on the otther side. This is how my great Grandfather kept from being captuered by the northern soldier." Kathy also wrote this: "He was a grand old man, and I'm proud to have him as one of my ancestors." Floyd continues: Thomas Jefferson Clingan wrote a letter to his half brother (Robert Lee Clingan) on August 5, 1925 of which I will quote certain portions:
"I have raised a nice set of children, of which I am truly proud. I have been honored by the people among whom I have lived nearly ever since I have been a man. I held office in The church, schoo; and state. I served four years as amember of the legislature, wrote law that taxed the railroads. I haveserved Ouachita County 24 years as Justice of the Peace, and was elected again last election, but refused to serve on account of my age. I served the countyone year as road Commissioner. I have retired from public service am trying to take life easy in my later years."
I go to Sunday school every Sunday. I am now living by the day. I am past 84 yeaars old, and Robert, I partly attribute my old age by always being cheerful and always looking at the bright side of things. I tell folks I will be a boy as long as I live. I am still straight as an Indian.
Well Robert, you say my day of usefulness is past. I am now to old to take part in public affairs. But, I try to keep abreast of public issues. I spend the most of my time reading, but my memory has become so faulty it does not retain much I read. My eyes are good yet. I do not have to use glasses to read. I can beat the boys now at shooting a gun, but you notice by my writing, I am nervous.
Thomas Jefferson understood how to deal with the young people of his community, as Floyd's following story will illustrate:
Several boys had stolen some watermelons from a certain man's patch. He had them arrested, and they were tried in my ggranndfather's J.P.Court. After hearing the case. he questioned the man bringing the suit.
When you were a boy, did you ever steal a watermelon?
"Yes sir", He had to admit
He dismissed the case saying,"I'll dismiss the case this time." Then he gave the boys a lecture, cautioning them not to do it again.
It really amused the boys, though to hear the man who had them arrested admit that he had done the same thing when he was a boy. But Grandfather did get his the lesson across to boys that they had done wrong. 4.Thomas Jefferson Clingan +Emaline Charlotta Bridges b.1841 d.

I take to time to share Floyd Bullocks remembrances concerning Levia Ella Clingan:
My grandmother was Levia Ella Clingan, she was born in Clark County AR in 1969. She married my grandfather in 1889. Their marriage record is on record at the Clark County Courthouse, Arkadelphia AR. The were married by her uncle Dave Pennington, who was a Methodist preacher. Uncle Daves wife was Matilda Clingan , sister to great grandfather Thomas Jefferson Clingan.
Grandma's mother in law Elizabeth Ann Bullock Frost made her home with them. Her brother, John Halsell Jr. once said to my mother, "If you and Levia ever have a fuss, I'll know it was your fault. She lived with Elizabeth all those years, and never had a falling out. If she can get along with Elizabeth she can get along with anybody. 5.

Bullock ofers this concerning Alfred Adams Clingan:
When Uncle Adams was a young man living in Chidester, he was working for the railroad--- I don't know the company. He was offered a job as as section chief by the roadmaster., but it had a string attached to it. In those days, 1$ a day was a good price for common labor. The job of section chief payed 50$ a month. The roadmaster offered the job to Uncle Adams, provided he would kick back 10$ amonth. That would still give UncleAdams a better than average salary! But, we are proud of him for telling the roadmaste he couldn't buy him off.

Mr Bullock tells a couple of stories I want to share:
Thomas Jefferson.was a Methodist, James Polk was a Presbyterian and Geoorge Washington was a Baptist. It is said, when they got together, they had some rather warm discussions concerning their beliefs.
His grandmother tell of a Baptist church that was holding a revival near the home of David Pennington, a Methodist preacher. Well, they weren't haveing much success. One of the peoplecommented about it and said,"If we had Bro. Pennington here, he would warm things up. They decided to invite him to come finish the meeting and she says,"They had a wonderful revival. On the last Sunday of the meeting they were preparing to serve a communion service. Uncle Dave asked them, " Is that a Baptist table, or the Lord's table" They said,"It's the Lords Table! Uncle Dave said,"I am one of his children so I'm going to eat with you." Rather than allow that to happen they took all their equipment and elements away, and did not hold communion that day.

A Sad Story
A damper was thrown over the Christmas rejoicing of hope, last Friday evening as the report spread that Edna Lee Pennington had been accidently killed by Wesley Crossnoe, and a message was sent to her parents, who reside at Fulton, that their daughter had been shot.
Edna was a bright girl of thirteen who had come up on the early train Friday, to spend the holidays with her aunt Mrs. Andrew the wife of Dr. Andrews, antisipating a happy season with her relatives and young friends. She, with other children, among whom was Wesley Crossnoe, a boy of about her age, were playing near the home of Dr. Andrews, the boy having a small target pistol, when in an unthoughtful moment he pointed itfirst at one and then at another of the children. How it came to fire when he pointed it at young Edna is not known, but that it did is certain and a short time later the joyous child lay a corpse.
The crys of the mother, when she arrived on the next train and learned that her only child was dead were indeed distressing, and many hearts were sore from sympathy
Wesley Crossnoe is the son of a widow, and she too bears a sad, sorrowing heart to know that her loved son has, even so unintentionally, taken the young life of his playmate. May the kind Heavenly Father who tempereth the wind to the shorn lamb, comfort all the sorrowing hearts, and bless the seeming severe affliction to t he good of the bereaved.
4.Milton Henry Clingan b.April 23,1868 d. April 9.1932 Texarkana ARK +Bouchie Culley d.April 9,1933 A couple of interesting items were mentioned in the "Clingan Clan concerning Milton. He was a carpenter working for the railroad. He installed the doors and windows o a school building which was still standing in Ocalona Arkansa at the time of the writing of the book.
When the Clingan father died in Ireland, there was no heir to his estate. so Milton got the permission of all his relatives to get their share if he would go over there and claim it. He got all the papers in order, and just as he was about ready to leave, he discovered he lacked the names of the deceased Clingans in Ireland. He never did receive the desired information and had to drop the whole thing.
The following was copied from a pocket book once owned by 3. Edward Clingan Jr. 2.Edward 1.George; in the possession of Louis Eugene Clingan of Arkadelphia Ark.: Here lies the body of Darius A. Clingan. He was born in Bradley County Tennessee October 17,1837. He volunteered in the first Arkansas Regiment and was in the battle of Manassas. Died July 29,1861. His father through filial duty has consecrated this stone to his memory Edward Clingan Sr.
Also from the records of Louis Eugene Clingan. Edward Clingan Jr. December 13,1926 My father was married May 23,in Ryea County Tennessee. In the year of 1847, he moved from Bradley County Tennessee to Clark County Arkansas in a big four horse wagon. He settled 7 miles west of Arkadelphia and homsteaded the northwest quarter of section 8township 7 range 20. He raised eight children from his first wife 6 boys and 2 girls, all lived to be grownexcept one died at 15. His first wife died Sept.23,1848, in the year, Jan.24,1860 he married Zillah Ann Witt and raised 5 children 4 boys and 1 girl, all of them lived to be grown. He died October 16,1881. In the year 1889 mother sold the old place to Jim Clingan. She died on the 22 of July,1892 at Fulton Arkansas.
Floyld sent us some interesting tidbit concerning Edward Jr.'s life I want to repeat for you:
When he was young he keel-hauled toNew Orleans. After taking a load of supplies to New Orleans, Edward would sell his boat and walk back up the river. Some of the boys stayed in town all Winter and spent all their money, but he didn't.
As grandfather(John Edward Clingan) put it, "as soon as he finished his business, he lit for home."
He worked as a cabler on a large boat. His job was to jump out on the shore with a rope and tie the boat to a tree. As the boat slowly turned around, he slacked the rope a tiny bitto keep it from turning to fast and toppling over.
Once he was sick, the new man didn't give enough slack and the rope broke. The boat ran wild down the river and got stuck in a suck ho;e. It took a long time to get it out because it had no power of its own; it was run by poles.
The year before his marriage, he was digging a well and saw the stars fall. It was in May. They fell a day and a night. He couldn't see them in the daytime when on the ground, but he could see them from the well. He watched the evening star, but it didn't move at all. This last story I heard Grandma Bullock tell.
Edward Jr, also had his own ten commandmennts to guide his children.
"Hear me, your father, children, that you may be safe. My Ten Rules of Conduct,"
First, Tell the truth in all things Second,speak wit to no person. Third,always attend to your own business, and let others alone. Fourth,be benevolent to all persons in distress. Fifth,be careful not to promise anything you can not perform. Sixth,keep out of debt, and you wil be safe. Seventh,to labor and be content with what you have, is a sweet life. Eighth,do not covet anything tht is not your own. Ninth, be faithful and kind to your companion and you ill have peace. Tenth,above all, serve the Lord God and it will be well with you in thy last days. FROM EDWARD CLINGAN Jr.'S BOOK OF RECORDS
Much of the later history of this paper has been compiled and contributed by Mrs. Edna Clingan Henson; who at the time her work was done, lived at 2903 Champa Street, Denver 5, Colorado. Several attempts have been made to reach her, but to no avail. This work appears to have been done in the late forties and it is possible that she has gone on to her reward.
Here are a couple families which may not be too far removed from George's line. If you have any information to add to any of them please feel free to do so and share:
Now I will try to broaden our study of the Clingan family by sharing some things about our Ohio Cousins. There are at least four groups of Clingans in Ohio, perhaps more, but three that I know of. There is the James Clingan family of Richland County Ohio, a group whose originator appears to be another William Clingan, a man from Ireland. He first settled in Poland Ohio, where I am told there is a road called Clingan Road. And finally there is my family at Miami County Ohio.
This is the Richland County group: The tradition that prevails concerning James Clingan, as passed along in a short genealogy by a Martin Matheny Mansperger of Romney WV, is that he was born in Ireland in 1778 and traveled to America at the age of twelve aboard a cattle boat. Traveling west, he settled in Richland County Ohio. He applied for citizenship at Richland County Common Pleas court at age of 40 stating he had been a resident of the United states before 1-29-1795 and that he had been born in County Craven, Ireland. This must have been about 1818.

2.Robert N.Clingan b.Nov.30,1830 d.July 10,1883 3.Nelle E. Clingan lived at 621 N. Baker St. Santa Anna Cal. in the forties. There's the James Clingan family of Richland County Ohio up to as far as the forties. It's a bit thin I'll have to admit, but if anybody runs across some information that would tie in, add it on and some day we may be able to connect. This is also from the records supplied by Edna Benson Gibson. I have done nothing about looking into this family at all.
Then there was a group of Clingans, living, or who have lived, whatever the case may be, up in the Youngstown Ohio area of Moholing, Columbiana and Trumbull Counties I've run across some of them from time to time on the internet, but have done nothing as far as trying to connect them or to build a genealogy on them. What little I have done seems to indicate that they also are the offspring of another William Clingan who came to this country from Ireland. There is a little town south of Youngstown called Poland Ohio where they have a Clingan Road. Some day I hope to get up there and see what I can find. However, right now I am too involved with the Clingan brothers and my line to think about another line.

The above info and what is to follow came from Wilbur Clingan in Downey CA. Some of the names were not clear, but I have put them down as close as I could make them out. There is a reference to James Clingan made in the following list. I do not know what the connection is, but it looks like he is saying he is the father of Margaret Clingan. I don't believe that would work out however for this reason: James was the second husband of Elizabeth Stauffer who was born in 1735. Even assuming James was as much as ten years younger than she he would have been in his late seventies when Margaret was born in 1815. He married Elizabeth in 1782,according to the Stauffer papers,(In the 1760's accrding to the LDS paper) which would mean they had been married 33 years when Margaret was born, so I do not think that's what he means. He has it placed beneath the name of John Clingan who was born in 1782. which would make it about right for John to be his son. If James and Elizabeth were about the same age, it would put him at near the age where he could be one of the five Clingan brothers. They were born c.1720,22,23. They came to the states with preacher Roan c.1739 so James would have been 4 years old at the time and the three brothers would be 19,17,16. If James were 10 years older than Elizabeth he would have been 14. I don't know, but it would be interesting to find out. Nevertheless, I will put it down in the most reasonable manner I can. and pretty much the way it is outlined for me in Walter's papers.
