(Pat's Note: According to Jack Coffee's e-mail, a J. Calvin MCCLENDEN was the father of a T. G. MCCLENDEN ... so, are these the same two men Yvonne is talking about: "Thomas Green McCLENDON and Jesse Calvin McCLENDON are half-brothers." ?)

    REFERENCES
    [1] The 1860 census for the Sixth Ward, Parish of East Feliciana Louisiana was enumerated on the 21st day of August 1860 by William Richardson.

    The McClenden family was listed at Dwelling 20 and as Family 22. The family consisted of 13 people as follows:

    Calvin, age 35; Jane, age 26; Thomas, age 8; Leona, age 5; "Miss" McClenden, age 1; B. McClenden, 9 year old male; and T. G. McClenden, a 4 year old male.

    Family 23, same Dwelling, consisted on Texana McClenden, a 23 year old female; Alex, age 3; and L. A., a 6 most old female.

    Family 24, same Dwelling consisted of Mrs. Mary Wilson, age 58; E. Delony Wilson, a 16 year old male and Amanda Wilson, 13.

    "Miss" McClenden is undoubtedly Mary Amelia, later the wife of Angus McNeil Smith. Texana is probably Calvin's sister-in-law and Mrs. Mary Wilson is Jane's mother.

    Information from A. F. Wilson, Natchez, MS in June, 1990, shows that Mary Wilson was the wife of John Wilson, born 1790 in North Carolina and a veteran of the War of 1812. He was 40 years older than Mary. Additionally, they were the parents of Elizabeth Frances Wilson who married J. C. McClenden on 13 Oct 1851. When J. C. died, Elizabeth Frances (Jane) remarried to a Mr. Patrick.

    A check of Booth's Records of Louisiana Confederate Soldiers and Louisiana Confederate Commands did not find any record of J. C., Calvin or other McClenden that could possibly be this person.

    [5] Mary Amelia Smith died suddenly on August 9, 1915 at Stoney Point, Louisiana. Her death certificate reveals that she was aged 56 at time of death and had been born in Clinton, Louisiana. She is buried at Pride, Louisiana. The informant for the certificate was Ratcliff Walker, a future son-in-law through his marriage to her daughter, Florence.

    Mary Amelia MCCLENDEN and Angus McNeil SMITH were married 23 Nov 1876 in East Feliciana Parish Louisiana and lived all of their married lives in that general area, relocating to East Baton Rouge (EBR) Parish sometime prior to 1915, when Mary Amelia died in that Parish. Angus was born Feb 1857 in EBR and died in 1935, also in EBR Parish.
