General Notes: Husband - William Clendenin

---

During his life-time the father of William Clendenin became seized of a farm, lying on the State Road in the northwestern part of East Pennsboro (later Silver Spring) township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, which afterwards was for a long time owned by Daniel Fought and his heirs. Captain Clendenin made his will in May, 1802, which was probated in August, 1802. In it this farm stands bequeathed to his son William, and on it in 1814, William began farming on his own account, his sister Elizabeth keeping house for him. With the exception of a period of about three years, during which he was in poor health, this farm was William Clendenin's home for the rest of his lifetime. Along with his farming he also kept a tavern, known as the "Green Tree Hotel."

Evidently there was a traveling streak in this branch of the Clendenin family, for of the fifteen descendants of William and Mary (Wallace) Clendenin who grew to maturity, ten visited the different countries of Europe, five attended the best schools of Europe, four visited the three different continents of Europe, Asia and Africa, and one circled the globe.

General Notes: Wife - Mary Wallace

---

For two years after her husband's death she remained on the farm and continued to keep the hotel until, in the spring of 1837, she, with her family of small children, moved to New Kingstown, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. She lived there until in the spring of 1839, and then moved to New Castle, Mercer (later Lawrence) County, where she lived all the rest of her days.
She was a woman of rare qualities of head and heart, and a genial, commanding person in whatever community she lived. Her memory was remarkable, and among her kinsfolk and neighbors mooted questions were often referred to her as arbiter, and whatever "Grandmother Clendenin's" recollection was on the subject was readily acquiesced in.
