General Notes: Husband - John Clendenin

---

In January, 1743, some of the inhabitants of "ye township of Pennsborrow" petitioned the Court of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, for a road, and among the names appended to this petition was that of "Jno Glendinnen." Pennsborrow township then included all of the valley lying between the Big Spring on the west and the Susquehanna river on the east. John Glendenin, then, was an inhabitant of that part of the valley as early as 1743, and may have been there earlier. Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, was formed in 1750, in January, and among the taxables of East Pennsboro township that year was John Clendenin. East Pennsboro then included all of the county lying between the Stony Ridge on the west and the Susquehanna river on the east. After this John Clendenin appears regularly among the taxables of East Pennsboro at every assessment.
The first partition of East Pennshoro township was made in 1762, when Allen township was taken from it, after which John Clendenin continued on the tax list of East Pennsboro. In 1825 Silver Spring township was formed out of East Pennsboro and after that John Clendenin was assessed in Silver Spring. He was located in the extreme northwest of Silver Spring, in the angle formed by the Stony Ridge and the mountain. His land was later included in two adjoining farms owned respectively by B. F. Garman and Leonard Zeigler. John Clendenin made his will in August, 1783, and in it occurs the following passage:
"I being in possession of a piece of land held whereon I have lived for some time and made considerable improvement, I give and bequeath the same to my two sons, John and Samuel."
According to this he held the land by possession and the improvements he made upon it, and not by warrant or patent. The records show that the parts, as designated in his will, were surveyed to his sons, John and Samuel. [BACC, 758]
