General Notes: Husband - John Clendenin

---

He lived upon and farmed the land bequeathed to him by his father, and in time acquired other lands in the same vicinity. He served in the war of the Revolution with distinction. He was a member of the 6th Company, 3d Battalion, of Cumberland County Associators, and on July 31, 1777, was commissioned first lieutenant in James Semple's company, Col. William Chambers Regiment. Col. Chambers' regiment was a part of Gen. James Potter's brigade, which was one of the most active and efficient brigades in the different engagements about Philadelphia. It was in the Battles of Brandywine, Germantown and Chestnut Hill, and when Washington withdrew from White Marsh to Valley Forge it was sent to the west side of the Schuylkill river to protect the left flank of the army against attack from Lord Cornwallis. He rose to the position of captain. The sword, blue coat and big hat he wore in the service he bequeathed to his son John.
On April 3, 1798, Gov. Mifflin appointed him justice of the peace for East Pennsboro township, which position he held until his death.
