Notes for MARY L. "POLLY" CLINKENBEARD:
      One source shows a William Hooker (b. 1785 in No. Carolina) as the husband of a Mary "Polly" Clinkenbeard.[a] However, court documents identify this Mary as being unmarried as of 9 May 1833, thus clarifying that it was not she who was the wife of Wm: Hooker.[b]

Notes for WILLIAM C. CLINKENBEARD:
      The 1840 U.S. Census Schedule showed William and his family living in Pike County, Missouri, no township listed.

[1840 Fed. Census (Missouri), Nat'l Archives Pub. No. M704, Roll 228, p. 106.]

Notes for NANCY MILDRED STONE:
      Nancy was the daughter of Kinzea Stone (1771-1836) and Sarah Watts and was one of six boys and five girls born to them, including Howard Stone (born 1803) and Edward Stone (born 1817).
      The 1830 U.S. Census index for Bourbon County, Kentucky, lists "Kinzia Stone," with the following male members: two b.1820/24, one b.1815/19, one b.1810/14, one b. 1800/09, and one b. 1770/79.[a]
      On 29 April AD 2000, Nancy Catherine Walker (fourth great granddaughter of Kinzea Stone) wrote that the following story was taken from either the ENTERPRISE or KENTUCKIAN CITIZEN newspaper, date unknown. The Edward Stone mentioned in the article was the brother of Nancy Mildred Stone:[b]
            "Slaves Were Once Chained In Dungeon Of 'The Grange'
            Beautiful Old Bourbon County Home of Ben Harbeson"
                        by Gene Maner
      "One of the most beautiful old houses of Bourbon county is The Grange, home of Ben Harbeson, on the Maysville road four miles north of Paris. Of historic and architectural interest, the house was completed in 1818 by Kinzea Stone Sr. who came here from Albermarle county, Virginia in 1800.
      "Here, too, begins a fate of murder.
      "Today the well-kept rolling acres of farmland and the heavily wooded grounds surrounding the house from a picturesque and peaceful scene. Bird feeders on many of the old trees attest Harbeson's interest in preserving wildlife; quail scurry around an old spring house.
The one and a half story house has a Doric portico and deepset doorway with fan and sidelights and handsome dormers. An unusual feature is the slightly curved front walk of the pavilions, pierced with Palladian windows with fluted frames and with shutters designed to cover the sidelights as well as the central windows.
"Kept Name
      "Harbeson brought the place 30 years ago. He kept the name, The Grange, given it by Mrs. May Stoner Clay of Paris, the former owner. Stone called the place Oakland and in the middle of the last century it was changed to Brentwood when Hugh Scott Brent bought it, after the tragic death of Edward and Howard Stone, sons of the builder. Directly beneath the entrance hall is a dungeon, unused since the Stone family lived in the house. From this dungeon, where daylight has never entered, comes a story of human misery and death.
      "When Kenzea Stone came to Bourbon he built a cabin and set up a kiln where he made a hard, glazed brick with which to build his house. The kitchen and stables were built first. The family lived over the kitchen as work on the main structure continued. The work was finished in 1813.
      "Stone and his wife, Sarah Watts Stone, had 11 children, six boys and five girls. He died in 1846 [i.e., 1836?]. Twelve [i.e., two?] years later his sons, Edward, 41, and Howard, 55, were murdered by slaves they were transporting down the Ohio River to New Orleans to sell.
"Slave Traders
      "The Stones had developed a lucrative business with a method of their own, as slave traders. Unruly slaves and those who had done criminal acts were bought cheaply. The Stones took them home with them and chained them to rings set in the walls of the dungeon. They left the slaves in total darkness on bread and water until their spirit was broken. There are no records to show how long this took to accomplish, or how the family functioned in the house overhead as noises rose from this place of misery. The slaves, chained together, were marched along the old Maysville Turnpike on the 50-mile trip to the boat at Maysville.
      "On one such trip, as the Stones transported between 70 and 80 slaves down the Ohio in 1838, a mutiny occurred on the boat about 100 miles below Louisville. Edward and Howard Stone; David Cobb of Lexington, and James Gray, who were transporting the cargo, were murdered as was a passenger named Davis.
"Sentenced to Death
      "The slaves were rounded up after the mutiny and a trial was held at Hardinsburg. The four responsible for the mutiny were sentenced to death by the court and hanged. Lewis Claggett, 19, a holy servant of the Stones, attempted to warn his masters when the mutiny occurred and fought the others single-handed until he was overpowered. He was exonerated by the court. For his loyalty to his masters he was given his freedom to effect when he was 21.
      "Claggett returned to Bourbon county with his master' watch. cuff links and personal belongings. In addition to his freedom he was given a tract of land and a sum of money, said to be $10,000. Later claggett was persuaded to move to Indiana where he was cheated out of all he possessed. He returned to Bourbon county and was cared for by his friends for the rest of his life.
In the meantime, Oakland was sold and name changed by the new owner."

52. ISAAC R.7 CLINKENBEARD (EDWARD6, JOHN5, WILLIAM4, JOHN3, WILLEM2 KLINCKENBERG, [WILLEM?]1) was born June 1821 in Indiana381, and died Unknown.

Notes for ISAAC R. CLINKENBEARD:
      The 1900 Federal Census shows Isaac to be living with his son John W. and family in Grant Township, Jackson County, Kansas, on 16 June 1900. Isaac's father was shown to have been born in Massachusetts(!!!) and his mother in Pennsylvania. (Was it actually just the reverse? Or an outright error?) If correct, Isaac may have descended from one of two sons of William (b.1649) of Bucks County, Pennsylvania---William or Josiah, or even from our direct ancestor, John Clinkenbeard (b.1696).
      On the other hand, Jefferson County, Virginia, Appellate Court record includes an "Isaac" as an additional son of Susan Ronemus and Edward Clinkenbeard, and that Isaac may be this Isaac, for the date and place of his birth fit perfectly. Therefore, pending evidence to the contrary, this Isaac (b. 1821) will be considered to have been Edward and Susan's son.[b]

  Notes for JAMES ALLEN CLINKENBEARD:
      The 1900 Federal Census schedule shows James living in Alexandria, Leavenworth County, Kansas, on 16 June 1900, with his wife Mary.[a]
      Entries in the LDS BOOK OF BAPTISMS FOR THE DEAD show James's relationship to the following persons:
---He was the Great-grandson of John Clinkenbeard (1755-1837).
---He was the Nephew of William Clinkenbeard (1819-1894) of Winchester.
      Actually, James was the first Cousin once removed of William, since William has to have been the son of one of the brothers of James's grandfather Isaac---apparently John Clinkenbeard Jr. With the lack of sophisticated knowledge regarding technical family relationships in farming communities at that time, however, it was not uncommon for one to call an older cousin "uncle." In this case, William was fifty years older than James.
      The full list of James's relations in this record is as follows:
Grandparents:
---ISAAC CLINKENBEARD (b. 20 Nov 1801; d. 19 Aug 1850)
---IVY ALLEN (b. 30 Mar 1808; d. 29 Mar 1874)
---JOHN CLINKENBEARD (b. c.1786 Va.; d. 26 Feb 1837)
---MARY CARTER (b. c.1788)
Great-grandparents:
---JOHN CLINKENBEARD (b. c.1760 Va.)
Uncles and Aunts:
---ISAAC CLINKENBEARD (b. 1824; d. Nov 1903)
---WILLIAM CLINKENBEARD (b. 15 Feb 1819; d. 5 Mar 1894)
---MARY ELIZABETH CLINKENBEARD (b. 11 May 1829; d. 27 Feb 1885)
Great-Uncles & -Aunts:
---LUCAS CLINKENBEARD (b. c.1788; d. 13 Jul 1833)
---Mrs HARRIET (CLINKENBEARD) b. c.1790; d. 27 Apr 1836)
---PHOEBA CLINKENBEARD (b. 1807; d. 27 Apr 1830)
Great-great-Uncle:
---WILLIAM CLINKENBEARD (b. c.1788)
      The following entries are not correct and were, presumably, guesses:
Great-great-grandfather:
---JOHN P. CLINKENBEARD (?)
Great-great-great-grandfather:
---JOHN CLINKENBEARD OF HOLLAND
      (James's proxy for the male relatives was Paul Enos Clinkenbeard, and for the female relatives, Cynthia D.B. Barney.)[b]

  Notes for ROBERT BARTON CLINKENBEARD:

Clinkenbeard, b. 1874, of Winchester" and "Sylvia Almira McKanna, b. 1880."[a] Another source gives Robert's name as "Barton Clinkenbeard."[b] Elizabeth Meek, who wrote that "Sylvia's mother, Lucinda Guyan [sp? Gogan?], was a sister to my Great Grandmother," said that Robert and Sylvia died without issue.[c]
