Clevenger Connections
Genealogy : Ancestors and Descendants
The object of this homepage is to help
people interact with others researching the same line and to exchange
information of the various lines of the Clevengers. In 1980 George Griffith
published his book CLEVENGER Pioneers & Descendants. This was before
computers had made their impact on genealogy and since that time a lot of
information has become easily available to the avid researcher.
My long range project is to bring George Griffiths's
book up-to-date. So far two books have been published. Then I
was interrupted by being able to obtain a download of the vital records of
Brown County, IN from the Health Department there. This resulted in two books
published by the Brown County Public Library which contained more that
seventeen thousand records. This was followed by the publication of the 1870
Brown County, IN census record. This would have been a rather simple task
except that the unnumbered sheets for Van Buren Township apparently were left
in a stack on a table and were blown off by the wind. The pages must have been
gathered
up without checking their sequence and were filmed in this helter skelter order.
As a result children at the top of one page some times did not belong to the family on
the preceding page. It took quite an effort to figure out a reasonable order for
the microfilmed pages.
The current research is concentrated on the Clevengers who originated in Tennessee
- mostly from Cocke Co, McMinn Co, and Meigs Co - and who either stayed in
Tennessee or went west. At present we are collecting material on:
The Clevengers in eastern Tennessee in 1800 and
their descendants,
The West Virginia Cleavengers and their
descendants,
Edward Clevenger of Greene County, Pennsylvania
and his descendants.
Clevengers in Southwestern Ohio and their descendants.
