General Notes: Husband - Judge John Clendenin


He grew to manhood in the district in which he was born and never resided outside of its bounds. His father, during his latter years, had acquired a farm a short distance down along the mountain, which afterward was long owned by Emanuel Neidich. This farm he bequeathed to his son John, and upon it he lived for many years, engaged in farming, tanning and raising hops. He had no special educational advantages in his youth, but possessed rare qualities of mind and great strength of character. On March 2, 1813, Gov. Snyder appointed him a justice of the peace for East Pennsboro, which office he continued to hold while he lived. He had much to do with settling estates and acting as trustee for estates, and in business of this nature his name occurs upon the public records more frequently than any other in the lower end of the county. On March 11, 1847, Gov. Shunk commissioned him an Associate Judge, which office he filled the balance of his life, and in history he is distinguished from the other Clendenins as "Judge John Clendenin." He was a deeply pious man, was a member of the Silver Spring Presbyterian Church, for many years an elder and one of the most punctual attendants. It is said of him that on Sunday mornings he would walk from his home at the North Mountain to the church, a distance of over four miles, and sweep and make the fires in time for morning services. In December, 1825, he moved to Hogestown, abandoning the tanyard on the farm.
