Cliffords

214. JANE⁵ CLIFFORD (Edward⁴, Charles³, James², unknown Clifford¹); born circa 1804 in Kentucky; still alive in 1880;¹⁰²³ married August 1831 in Harrison County, Kentucky;¹⁰²⁴ JOHN SELLERS (or Sellars); born 1798 in Virginia.¹⁰²⁵ The name in Harrison County is spelled both Sellers and Sellars. I will spell it Sellers throughout.

John Sellers was a son of Henry Sellers¹⁰²⁶ and (tentative) Susan Sellers.¹⁰²⁷ Other children of Henry Sellers included
(a) Susannah Sellers, married, 13 December 1821 in Harrison County, Kentucky, Isaac Woolery (Ullery?).
(b) David Sellers, married, 1843, in Harrison County Susannah Eckler; one child was Zelinda/Zerilda Sellers who married Louis Mortensen Martin; he was an attorney in the Cynthiana area.¹⁰²⁸
(c) Catherine (Kitty) Sellers, married, 26 March 1812 in Harrison County, Jacob Huffman.¹⁰²⁹ One child of Jacob and Catherine was probably Mary Ann Huffman, born 27 July 1813 in Harrison County, died 20 December 1888 in Putnam County, Indiana. Both Jacob, born circa 1780-1790, and Catherine (Sellers) Huffman, born 17 June 1792 in Virginia or Maryland, are buried in Putnam County, Indiana.¹⁰³⁰

When Jane Clifford married John Sellers, her brother James Clifford (#212) was the surety and an H. C. Moore was the witness.¹⁰³¹ John Sellers owned land, at least during the 1830s, on Twin Creek, Harrison County, Kentucky.¹⁰³² In 1850, John, Jane and children Susan, Nancy, Martha, John and Elizabeth were living in Harrison County, Kentucky.¹⁰³³ In 1870, John and Jane were living with son John (H.) Sellers (head of household) and daughter Elizabeth Sellers. In 1880, Jane and her son John H. and John's wife Dallas (Roberts) Sellers were enumerated at Berry Station, Harrison County.¹⁰³⁴ In the columns indicating the birth locality of Jane and her parents, the enumerator had written Ky-Ky-Ky. But the entire page was of these entries as were other pages of this worker's enumerations, with no variation.

 

Known children of John and Jane (Clifford) Sellers, all born in Kentucky:¹⁰³⁵

	555	i.	Susan6 Sellers; born circa 1836. A Susan Sellers married 21 May 1871 William Arnold in Harrison County.1036 The 1880 federal census for Harrison County1037 lists a William Arnold, born circa 1828, miller; Amanda Arnold, age 19 (daughter); Ida Arnold, age 17 (daughter); Sarah Arnold, age 16 (daughter); Elisa (?Elias) Arnold, age 18, (son); Elizabeth Arnold, age 7, (daughter?); H. Vanhdok?, boarder (a physician); and a Cass Warner, 22, servant. If this William Arnold was the husband of our Susan Sellers, he was apparently a widower twice, with child Elizabeth Arnold being the only child of Susan.
	556	ii.	Nancy Sellers; born circa 1839; married, 6 November 1856, William H. Martin in the home of John Sellers.1038 Witnesses were David Sellers and Rankin Martin. In 1880 a William H. Martin, born circa 1830; Jennie Martin (his wife), born circa 1841; and children Henry Martin, born circa 1855; Joseph Martin, born 1862; ???ion Martin (son), born circa 1779; and Ollie Martin, born circa 1866 (adopted), were living in Harrison County.1039 Could Nancy have been Nancy Jane? But possibly Nancy was deceased by 1880, and Jennie was a second wife of William H. Martin. In 1880, a ?Taker (?Laker) Martin, born circa 1828 and wife Nancy Martin, born circa 1836, were living in Harrison County with children James Martin, born circa 1876, and Eliza Martin, born circa 1872.1040 Also in the household was an Alford Levesque, born circa 1858, boarder (school teacher). I can not connect him to the Levesques of our concern.
	557	iii.	Martha Sellers; born circa 1843. Probably she was the Martha Sellers who married William H. Hick in 1860 in Harrison County.1041 The couple was married by John S. McKinney. A John S. McKinney was the husband of Drusilla Berry, Drusilla being a sister of Octavia Berry who married Lindsey Clifford (#537). (But there was also a Martha Sellers who married Newton Dunn 15 May 1865.)1042
	558	iv.	John H. Sellers; born 6 May 1845; died 5 June 1912; buried in Sunrise Cemetery, Harrison County;1043 married Dallas Roberts,1044 born circa 1845. In 1880, John and Dallas (no children) were living in Harrison County, with John's widowed mother, Jane (Clifford) Sellers. Dallas was listed as Dallas Roberts, not as Dallas Sellers.1045
	559	v.	Elizabeth Sellers; born circa 1846. An Elizabeth Sellers married 8 March 1868 James Jones?.1046 There was also an Elizabeth H. Sellers, wife of T. J. Eckler; this couple had a child, Jamie Eckler, born 27 August 1876;1047 he probably was the James Eckler, born August 187?, living in Casons District of Harrison County in 1900 with wife Kate, born January 1879, and son Harry M. Eckler, born June 1899.1048
			There was a Henry Sellers who sold land on Wolf Creek, Harrison County, to Samuel Craig in 1860.1049 Possibly he was also a son of John and Jane (Clifford) Sellers.

215. MARY⁵ (POLLY) CLIFFORD (Edward⁴, Charles³, James², unknown Clifford¹); born circa 1804;¹⁰⁵⁰ died summer of 1866;¹⁰⁵¹ married 23 April 1818 GEORGE R. CHANDLER,¹⁰⁵² born circa 1790-1800 in Virginia;¹⁰⁵³ died summer of 1850,¹⁰⁵⁴ before the 1850 federal census was taken.

On 24 August 1850, the inventory and sale bill of George's estate were reported. Thomas Waldon was the Administrator.¹⁰⁵⁵ The only Chandler listed in the sale bill was George's widow, Polly. Others purchasing items of the $94.94 total estate were Thomas Waldon, William Berry, Alfred Day, Sender Harris, Andrew Whitson and John Hutchinson. A "Settlement" document in the name of the estate of George R. Chandler was recorded 23 June 1852 (no details).¹⁰⁵⁶

Polly Chandler's estate inventory and sale bill was reported 16 June 1866.¹⁰⁵⁷ The Administrator was Alfred Day. The only Chandlers purchasing items were her children, Nancy Chandler and James Chandler. Other purchasers of the $204.75 estate included Alfred Day, Mike Burrows, A. Bowman, Mike Frey, Mary Andrews, L. Terry, William Lemon, and A. Whitson. A set of silver spoons, valued at $20.24, was a major item, purchased by Nancy Chandler, who also was debited for $68 for "rent of farm."

George R. Chandler was mentioned in Edward Clifford's 1833 estate sale, and of course George and Mary signed the "Edward Clifford Heirs to John Berry" quit claim document in 1834. I could not find Marry in the 1850 federal census for Harrison County-George had died in 1850 before the census. In 1860, Mary, as farm owner and head of household, and two children were living in the Colemanville area of Harrison County. Also enumerated with them in 1860 was a Francis Edwards, age 9.

 

Known children of George and Mary (Clifford) Chandler:¹⁰⁵⁸

	560	i.	Nancy6 Chandler; born circa 1836. She was listed as a weaver in the 1860 federal census.
	561	ii.	James Chandler; born circa 1837 in Kentucky; married Eva [-?-]; born circa 1840 in Kentucky. In 1860, James, not yet married, was listed as a farm hand in his mother's household. In 1880, James, Eva and children were living in Bourbon County, Kentucky.1059 Children of James and Eva Chandler, reported in the 1880 federal census: (1) Walter Chandler, born circa 1875; and (2) Lizzie Chandler, born circa 1878

Apparently there were other children. The 1840 federal census for George R. Chandler of Harrison County¹⁰⁶⁰ lists one male under 5 (James Chandler) and one male 5-10. Besides Mary, this census lists one female 5-10 (probably Nancy); one female 10-15; one female 15-20; and one female 20-30. Since George and Mary were married in April 1818, all these females could be daughters.

Several Chandlers were married in Harrison County between 1816 and 1818, as reported in Harrison County, Kentucky, Marriage Index, volume 1, 1794-1893, page 1270 (FHL film 0216877). Besides George R. Chandler and Polly Clifford, William Chandler married Hettie Parks 28 January 1818 (page 1229), Eliza Chandler married William Hutchinson 28 December 1816 (page 1816), and Emily Chandler married Benjamin Lemon December 1818 (page 1306).


217. LINDSEY⁵ A. CLIFFORD (Edward⁴, Charles³, James², unknown Clifford¹); born circa 1810; in January 1833 (date of application was 7 January 1833) in Harrison County, Kentucky; probably deceased by the time of the 1880 federal census, and possibly by the time of the 1870 federal census. He married NANCY JONES;¹⁰⁶¹ born circa 1812.¹⁰⁶² I believe she was the Nancy Clifford, age 70, born Kentucky, parents born Kentucky, widowed, living as a boarder in the household of Anderson Sallie in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky, in 1880.¹⁰⁶³

Nancy was a daughter of Lewis Jones (born 1780, died 1853) and Elizabeth (Schooler) Jones (born 19 April 1784, died 10 February 1863).
Children of Lewis and Elizabeth (Schooler) Jones:
Nancy Jones; married Lindsey Clifford
Ann Jones; married George H. Parker
Lewis P. Jones; married Katherine Boggs; she was a sister of John Boggs, who married Joanna Jones, and a sister of Mary Boggs who married John Jackson Clifford (#218)
Margaret Jones; married Woodford Marr
Thomas P. Jones; married Elizabeth Ann Bozzell
James Jones; married Minerva Dyson
Bleamite Jones; married Dudley Whitson
Mary Jones; married Joseph Whitson
Johanna Jones; married John Boggs (see also Lewis P. Jones above).¹⁰⁶⁴

Lewis Jones' parents were Evan and Margaret (Baker) Jones. Robert Clifford (#211) was a witness of Evan Jones's will in 1821; the will mentions the following children: Lewis Jones, Evan Jones, John Jones, Polly Jones, Hannah Jones, Peggy Jones, Tempy Jones, and ?Fetney Jones.¹⁰⁶⁵ Ancestry World Tree Project: "Andresen/Herbst," has additional information on these Jones.¹⁰⁶⁶

Lindsey Clifford, a farmer, first appeared in the Harrison County federal census in 1840.¹⁰⁶⁷ In 1853, Lindsey and Nancy sold their interest in the estate of Lewis Jones, "Lewis Jones being the father of the said Nancy Clifford."¹⁰⁶⁸ In 1860, Lindsey and children Henry, Thomas, John and Sarah were living in the Warsaw area of Gallatin County, Kentucky.¹⁰⁶⁹ Apparently Lindsey and family moved from Harrison County to Gallatin County sometime after the 1850 federal census and before their daughter Sarah was born in Gallatin County, Kentucky, 1 March 1852.¹⁰⁷⁰ Gallatin County is in northern Kentucky, bordering on the Ohio River. I could not find Lindsey and family in the 1870 census and only one of Lindsey's children (Thomas) in the 1880 federal census for Kentucky.

 

Known children of Lindsey and Nancy (Jones) Clifford:¹⁰⁷¹

	562	i.	James6 Clifford; born circa 1833.
	563	ii.	Mary R. Clifford; born circa 1835.

	567	vi.	Tophinia Clifford; born circa 1844.
	568	vii.	Thomas Clifford; born circa 1845-1847. He would probably be the Thomas Clifford, born circa 1846 in Kentucky, farmer, living in the Napoleon area of Gallantin County, Kentucky, in 1880, in the household of John and Mary M. Spillman.1073
	569	viii.	John Clifford; born circa 1851.

+	580	x.	Mortimer Clifford; born circa 1859; married Mary Ann Cobb.
	581	xi.	Mary Ann Clifford; born circa 1863.

219. SARAH⁵ ANN CLIFFORD (James⁴, Charles³, James², unknown Clifford¹); born 7 August 1792; died 30 August 1881; married GEORGE W. SHRUM; born 5 May 1790; died 13 January 1860. Both George and Sarah are buried in Fort Palmer Cemetery, Fairfield Township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.¹⁰⁸³

In 1820, George and Sarah and presumably their first two children were enumerated in Fairfield Township.¹⁰⁸⁴ In 1850, George, Sarah and family were in Ligonier Township.¹⁰⁸⁵ In 1860, Sarah, now a widow and listed as a farmer, was with some of her family in Ligonier Township.¹⁰⁸⁶ In 1880, Sarah, now age 87, was living with her daughter Mary A. Shrum in Ligonier Township; also in the household was Mary (presumably) Shrum "granddaughter," born circa 1861.¹⁰⁸⁷ I can not place her. There was also a Matthew Little, born circa 1858, farmer, in the household in 1880, with his wife Ida Little, born circa 1858.

George W. Shrum was a son of Johannes Jacob George Shrum (born 1763, died 11 February 1818) and Catherine (Marchand) Shrum (born 8 March 1767, died 1836 or April 1841).¹⁰⁸⁸ George W. was a farmer in Ligonier Township and was a veteran of the War of 1812.¹⁰⁸⁹ For more information on Shrums, see end note #1890.

 

Children of George and Sarah Ann (Clifford) Shrum:¹⁰⁹⁰

+	582	i.	George6 W. Shrum (Jr.); born circa 1817; married Margaret Robb.
	583	ii.	Mary Ann Shrum; born 1819; died 1914. She did not marry. In 1870 and 1880, she was living with her mother in Ligonier Township; in 1900 Mary Ann was living with her "niece" Mary A. Shrum, born December 1860.1091 This Mary A. Shrum was living with Mary Ann Shrum (and Mary Ann's mother, Sarah) in Ligonier Township in 1870.1092 I can not place Mary A. Shrum. Possibly she was a daughter of Johnston Shrum (#585), who married Nancy Breniser, but if the dates are correct, Johnston died 1859.
	584	iii.	Catherine Shrum; born 20 April 1822; died 2 November 1855; buried in Fort Palmer Cemetery, Fairfield Township, Westmoreland County.1093
	585	iv.	Johnston Shrum; born 1823; died 1859; married Nancy Breniser (also spelled Brenizer); born 8 June 1830; died 21 November 1862. Nancy was a daughter of Peter Breniser (born August 1790) and Elizabeth (Myers) Breniser (born 31 October 1794 near Berlin, Brothers Valley Township, Somerset County, Pennsylvania). Elizabeth (Myers) Breniser was a sister of Catherine Myers who married Edward Clifford (#236).1094 I have no information on children of Johnston and Nancy Shrum. Possibly one child was John Shrum, born circa 1849, who in 1860 was living with Johnston Shrum's mother.1095
	586	v.	Jane C. (Jennie) Shrum; born 1825; died 21 December 1854; buried in Fort Palmer Cemetery.1096
	587	vi.	Rebecca Shrum; born 1831; married Benjamin Leally.
	588	vii.	James C. Shrum; born circa 1833; died 1922; buried in Fort Palmer Cemetery, where his stone reads "Co. D., 4th Pa. Cav." His large stone is visible behind the "Clifford Row" stones, see Photo 7, the stone of Charles Clifford (Jr.).
	589	viii.	Margaret R. (Maggie) Shrum; born 7 December 1835; died 31 December 1859; buried in Fort Palmer Cemetery.1097
	590	ix.	Daniel R. Shrum; born 1839; died 26 April 1870; buried in Fort Palmer Cemetery.

Also in the household in 1860¹⁰⁹⁸ was a John Shrum, age 11. Sarah would have been too old to have been his mother. The 1830 federal census for George and Sarah, Fairfield County, suggests they might have had another daughter, born before 1830.¹⁰⁹⁹


220. SARAH⁵ WHITSETT (Mary⁴ Clifford, Charles³, James², unknown Clifford¹); born circa 1775 in Pennsylvania; died circa 1848 in Fayette County, Indiana. On 6 February 1792 in Bourbon County, Kentucky;¹¹⁰⁰ she married SAMUEL BELL; born circa November 1767 in Pennsylvania; died 20 March 1843 in Fayette County, Indiana.¹¹⁰¹ By 1826, Samuel and Sarah and family were living in Fayette County, Indiana.¹¹⁰²

 

Children of Samuel and Sarah (Whitsett) Bell:

	591	i.	Rachel6 Bell; married William Lair; born circa 1791 in Virginia.. After Rachel died, date not known, William married Rachel's sister Emily. See under Emily for possible children of William and Rachel Lair.
	592	ii.	John W. Bell; born circa 1799 in Kentucky; married (first) Sarah G. Barnes; married (second) Nancy Ralston (either this Nancy or third wife, Nancy Shields, was born circa 1815 in Pennsylvania); married (third) Nancy Shields. In 1850, John, Nancy, and children were living in Jennings Township, Fayette County, Indiana, where John W. was enumerated as a farmer.1103 Also in the household in 1850 were Samuel Cook, born circa 1839 in Indiana, Mary Ann Kirby, born circa 1827 in Indiana, Minerva Kirby, born circa 1850 in New York, and Thomas Ward, born circa 1815 in Kentucky. (Note that Sarah (Whitsett) Bell's brother, Charles Whitsett, who lived in Fayette County, Indiana, had a child Mary Jane Whitsett, born circa 1825 in Indiana, and she married George Kirby; but these Kirbys are accounted for in the 1850 federal census-see under Charles Whitsett, #??). Children of John W. Bell listed in the 1850 federal census (by which wife or wives not known): (1) Sarah E. Bell, born circa 1845 in Indiana; (2) Robert Bell, born circa 1848 in Indiana, and (3) Margaret Bell, born circa 1850 in Indiana.
	593	iii.	Emily Bell; born circa 1803 in Kentucky; married William Lair; born circa 1791 in Virginia. William's first wife was Emily's sister Rachel (Bell) Lair. In 1850, William, Emily and children were living in Jennings Township, Fayette County, Indiana, where William was enumerated as a farmer.1104 They were living next door to Emily's brother John W. Bell. The census taker reported William and Emily as "Laire," whereas all the children were listed as "Lair." Others listed in the household in 1850, all presumed to be children of William, probably some by Rachel as well as Emily (all born in Indiana): (1) Rachel Lair, born circa 1831; (2) Osa Piper (middle name, married name?)

	595	v.	Harriet Bell; born circa 1814 in Kentucky; married Lewis Edward; born circa 1815 in Pennsylvania. In 1850, Lewis, Harriet and children were living in Jennings Township, Fayette County, Indiana, where Lewis was enumerated as a farmer.1105 Others listed in the household in 1850, all presumed to be children (all born in Indiana): (1) Matilda Edwards, born circa 1837; (2) Sarah E. Edwards, born circa 1839; and Henry E. Edwards, born circa 1839.

221. ELIZABETH⁵ WHITSETT (Mary⁴ Clifford, Charles³, James², unknown Clifford¹); born circa 1777 in Pennsylvania; died 12 October 1833; buried in Downtown Cemetery, Springfield, Clark County, Ohio; on 10 December 1795, she married GRIFFITH FOOS (the name was also spelled Foose);¹¹⁰⁶ born March 1772 in Pennsylvania; died 5 May 1859 in Cincinnati, Ohio; buried in Greenmont Cemetery, Springfield, Ohio.¹¹⁰⁷ On 23 October 1834, Griffith married Nancy Winans, born 31 January 1798 in New Jersey; she died 11 February 1858 in Ohio.¹¹⁰⁸

In 1824, Griffith and Elizabeth were living in Clark County, Ohio.¹¹⁰⁹ Griffith built a hotel, known as Foos Tavern, in an area that was to become Springfield, Ohio.¹¹¹⁰ In 1850, Griffith, second wife Nancy, and their child Louisa, born circa 1838, were living in Springfield, Clark County, Ohio.¹¹¹¹ Griffith Foos' 1859 will mentions eight children (names not known-I have not seen the will) and nephews Nelson Foos and Gustavus S. Foos of Ohio.¹¹¹² There is a biography of Griffith Foos appearing in Mad River News and Clark County Journal, 6 May 1859 issue.¹¹¹³

 

Known children of Griffith Foos and wives:

	602	i.	Anna6 Foos.
	603	ii.	Griffith Foos; born circa 1810 in Ohio; married Priscilla [-?-]; born circa 1814 in Ohio.

	604	iii.	Louisa Foos; born circa 1838; as indicated, she definitely was a child of Griffith and Nancy (Winans) Foos.

222. NANCY⁵ WHITSETT (Mary⁴ Clifford, Charles³, James², unknown Clifford¹); born 1784 in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania; died 1817; on 28 December 1803,¹¹¹⁵ she married BURWELL BROWN MILLS; died 1843 in Ohio.¹¹¹⁶ Burwell remarried after Nancy (Clifford) Mills died. Burwell, who was raised by relatives in Kentucky, was the youngest son of James and [-?-] (Burwell) Mills of Halifax County, Virginia.¹¹¹⁷

Census data indicate that Burwell and Nancy (Whitsett) Mills moved from Kentucky to Ohio sometime between 1812, when their daughter Caroline was born in Kentucky and 1814, when their son Joseph was born in Ohio.

 

Children of Burwell and Nancy (Whitsett) Mills:

+	605	i.	J. Ephrain6 Mills; born circa 1800 (date is possibly wrong if Burwell and Nancy were married in 1803) in Kentucky; married Mary Worcester.
+	606	ii.	Eliza Mills; born 1804 in Kentucky; died circa 1895; married Daniel Paris.
+	607	iii.	Abner Clifford Mills; born 25 December 1807 in Kentucky; died 1875; married (first) Hulda Hall; married (second) Sarah A. Adams.

223. REBECCA⁵ WHITSETT (Mary⁴ Clifford, Charles³, James², unknown Clifford¹); born 28 July 1786 in Fayette County, Pennsylvania; died 14 September 1876; buried in Sabina Cemetery, Clinton County, Ohio; she married RICHARD HALL on 23 January 1808 in Harrison County, Kentucky; he was born 1783; died 1838.¹¹¹⁸ In 1817, Richard Hall and "Rebecca his wife, late Rebecca Whiteside" sold their share in 28 and a half acres of land on South Fork of the Licking River to Rebecca's brother, Charles Whitsett (#224). This included the 13 1/2 acres of land that their father Joseph purchased at a sheriff sale.¹¹¹⁹

In 1826, Richard and Rebecca were living in Harrison County, Kentucky.¹¹²⁰ In 1850, Rebecca, widow, was living with her married daughter Rebecca Clifford in Richland Township, Clinton County, Ohio. In 1860, Rebecca was living with her married son Richard Hall and family in Richland Township; and in 1870 with her married son Harrison Hall and family in Richland Township, Clinton County, Ohio.¹¹²¹

 

Children of Richard and Rebecca (Whitsett) Hall:

	612	i.	Henry6 Hall; born circa 1810 in Kentucky; married Nancy [—?—] (possibly maiden name was Saunders); born circa 1813-1820 in Kentucky. In 1850, the family was in Bracken County, Kentucky (no district reported), where Henry was farming (census page 489). In 1860 (page 0?) and 1870 (page 406), Henry, Nancy and family were in Bourbon County, Kentucky. By 1880, Henry, head of household, was living with his married daughter Ann Sutton? and family in Bourbon County, District 18 (page 61), Kentucky. Presumably Nancy had died by this time, although the census reported Henry married. Children known from the federal censusues (all born in Kentucky): (1) Amanda Hall, born circa 1839. (2) Tibitha Hall, born circa 1841. (3) William Hall, born circa 1843. (4) Francis Montere Hall, born circa 1847. (5) Anna E. (Sarah?) Hall, born circa 1850; married Smith Sutton?, born circa 1850 in Kentucky. In 1870, Smith, who was a farmer, and Ann Sutton were living with Ann's parents.
