Cliffords

536. JAMES⁶ S. CLIFFORD (Robert⁵, Edward⁴, Charles³, James², unknown Clifford¹); died summer 1845; married (first), 7 January 1836, ELIZABETH KINSLER (also spelled Kinslow);¹⁶⁹¹ apparently Elizabeth died shortly after giving birth to their son John William Clifford in 1838 (see under John William Clifford, #964). Elizabeth's parents were probably James and Elizabeth Kinsler. James Kinsler in his will left an interest in his estate to (John) William Clifford. James S. Clifford married (second) 30 May 1839 REBECCA HALL.¹⁶⁹²

Rebecca Hall (#618) was a granddaughter of Mary (Clifford) Whitsett (#50); hence James S. and Rebecca were second cousin. Rebecca Hall was a daughter of Richard and Rebecca (Whitsett) Hall. In 1850, Rebecca Clifford, widow, and children Harriet Clifford and John E. Clifford were living in Richland Township, Clinton County, Ohio;¹⁶⁹³ also in the household was Rebecca's mother, Rebecca (Whitsett) Hall (#223).

A "Settlement" document on the estate of Robert Clifford (no date), presumably the Robert (#211) who was the father of James S. Clifford, mentions a note "on Rebecca Hall" that was recorded 5 December 1846.¹⁶⁹⁴ I do not know if this Rebecca Hall was the wife of James S. Clifford or was Rebecca (Whitsett) Hall (1786-1876), mother of the Rebecca who married James S. Clifford. Rebecca Hall's parents, Richard and Rebecca (Whitsett) Hall, were known to have been living in Harrison County in 1826.¹⁶⁹⁵

James S. Clifford died intestate, and a 20 August 1845 inventory and sale bill of his personal estate gives a good indication of his brothers and sisters.¹⁶⁹⁶ The administrator of the estate sale was Robert Clifford. The Cliffords purchasing items at the sale were Edward Clifford, Asbery [Lindsey] Clifford, Alexander Clifford, Mrs. Clifford (presumably Rebecca, James's wife), Sally Clifford, and Robert Clifford. Other purchasers included Dudley Hutchinson, Jackson Hutchinson, James Hutchinson, Aaron Ashbrook, James Berry, and John Ritchison.

+	964	i.	William7 Clifford (perhaps full given name was John William); born circa 1838; died probably before 1880; married Amanda McKinney.

 

Children of James and Rebecca (Hall) Clifford:¹⁶⁹⁷

	965	ii.	Harriet A. Clifford; born circa 1840 in Kentucky.
	966	iii.	John E. Clifford; born circa 1844 in Kentucky. In 1850, Harriet and John were living with their mother in Clinton County, Ohio.1698

537. LINDSEY⁶ ASBERY CLIFFORD (also Linzy Azby, also L. A.), (Robert⁵, Edward⁴, Charles³, James², unknown Clifford¹); born circa 1816;¹⁶⁹⁹ died before the 1880 federal census; married OCTAVIA BERRY; born 20 December 1825.¹⁷⁰⁰ Octavia, a widow, was living with her daughter Malisa and her husband Joseph Thompson in Pendleton County, Kentucky, in 1880.¹⁷⁰¹

Octavia was a daughter of John Berry, who was probably the John Berry who purchased the Clifford's farm from the heirs of Edward Clifford (see under Edward, #47).¹⁷⁰² John Berry's wife was Elizabeth Claypole,¹⁷⁰³ born circa 1781 in Virginia; died 10 June 1953 in Colemanville, Harrison County, Kentucky; she was living with Lindsey and Octavia in Harrison County in 1850.¹⁷⁰⁴ The town of Berry, Harrison County, Kentucky, was named for this Berry family.¹⁷⁰⁵

Octavia's brother Colonel George W. Berry was killed at the Battle of Cynthiana during the Civil War.¹⁷⁰⁶ In 1852, this George W. (Warren) Berry and wife Adelaid (Elizabeth Adelaid Jamison)¹⁷⁰⁷ sold their shares in the dower interests of George's widowed mother, Elizabeth Berry, to Lindsey Clifford for $1,700.¹⁷⁰⁸ In 1858, John S. McKinney and wife Drusilla ("late Drusilla Berry") sold their undivided share obtained from Elizabeth Berry, widow, to Lindsey Clifford.¹⁷⁰⁹ Although Octavia's mother did not die until after Octavia married Lindsey, Octavia's guardian after her father, John Berry, died was an Abijah Dejarnett, re "L. A. Clifford has since married the said ward."¹⁷¹⁰,¹⁷¹¹ For more information on John and Elizabeth (Claypool) Berry's and other children see end note #1216.

Lindsey, as "Asbery," was a major purchaser of the household effects of his brother, James S. Clifford. Lindsey lived on "the homestead" (presumably that of his father, James), but moved to Grant County, Kentucky, in 1850, where he was in the merchandise business and also operated a tavern or taverns in Grant County, Kentucky.¹⁷¹² (But Lindsey and family were enumerated in Harrison County in 1850.)¹⁷¹³ The family moved back to the homestead in 1854. It was in 1854, that Lindsey purchased land on the South Fork of the Licking River in Harrison County from David Vannsdell and wife Harriett.¹⁷¹⁴ In the mid 1850s, Lindsey purchased tracts of lands in Grant and Pendleton Counties, Kentucky, from the Conyers family.¹⁷¹⁵ Apparently one of these purchases, but perhaps something else, resulted in a court case: James F. Conyers and wife Mary versus L. A. Clifford, May 1862.¹⁷¹⁶ I do not know the outcome. A great grandson of Lindsey and Octavia, Kenneth Hester Clifford (see under Wilder Clifford, #1689), married Marie Conyers, but I do not know how she relates to James F. Conyers. In 1860, Lindsey, Octavia and family were living in the Cynthiana area of Harrison County, Kentucky.¹⁷¹⁷

539. ALEXANDER⁶ D. (or L.) CLIFFORD (Robert⁵, Edward⁴, Charles³, James², unknown Clifford¹); born March 1821; on 2 November 1860, Alexander married NANCY ANN (NANNIE) RICHARDSON,¹⁷³⁰ born April 1831.¹⁷³¹

In 1860, before she was married in November, Nancy Ann Richardson was enumerated in District 2, Harrison County, with her mother, Juliann, and Nancy Ann's siblings.¹⁷³² Nancy Ann was a twin of Mary J. Richardson, who married A. J. Thompson. Nancy Ann's parents were John Richardson (born circa 1801) and Juliann (Eckler) Richardson (born circa 1822). John and Juliann divorced in 1850.¹⁷³³ See under Robert Clifford (#211) for more information about John and Juliann Richardson, and see end note #981 for more information about this Richardson family.

In 1853, Alexander, not yet married, sold land on Twin Creek, Harrison County, to Samuel Levesque (husband of Jane Clifford, #533, and then Sarah Clifford, #538) for $3,600.¹⁷³⁴ In 1860, Alexander, still single, was enumerated by himself in Harrison County,¹⁷³⁵ and in April of that year he purchased land from Samuel and Sarah (Clifford) Levesque.¹⁷³⁶ I do not know whether this land was the same land he sold to Samuel Levesque in 1853. In 1870, Alexander, a farmer, Nancy and family were living in the Cynthiana area of Harrison County, Kentucky.¹⁷³⁷ In 1880, Alexander, as "A. D.," and family were in Tricum Village, Harrison County.¹⁷³⁸ Also living with the family in 1880 was a William Clifford, born circa 1824, single, merchant; he was probably Alexander's brother, William Clifford (#541), although the 1850 federal census, when William was still living with his parents, reports William being born circa 1830. Alexander and Nancy were still in the Tricum area in 1900.¹⁷³⁹ Also living in the household in 1900 was William Lemon, "grandson," born circa November 1887.

	982	iii.	Nancy Clifford; born October 1868. She apparently married [-?-] Lemon, since in 1900, Nancy, as Nannie, age 24 (sic), was living with her parents (and listed as single); also listed in the household was William Lemon, born November 1887, "grandson."1742 He would have been a son of Nannie unless Alexander and Nancy had an unknown second daughter who married [-?-] Lemon.
	983	iv.	Robert Clifford; born circa 1870.

542. ROBERT⁶ CLIFFORD, (Robert⁵, Edward⁴, Charles³, James², unknown Clifford¹); born 12 February 1832; died 22 July 1918 in Harrison County, Kentucky;¹⁷⁴³ married (first), 1 September 1857, MARY TURNER; born circa 1830¹⁷⁴⁴ (no known issue); married (second), 22 March 1864, Mary MILDRED INGLES,¹⁷⁴⁵ born 9 July 1845 in Harrison County, Kentucky;¹⁷⁴⁶ died 13 November 1924 in Harrison County.¹⁷⁴⁷

In 1850, Robert was still living with his parents. In 1860, Robert and first wife Mary (Turner) were living in Harrison County, Cynthiana area;¹⁷⁴⁸ also living with them were Robert's brother William Clifford (#541) and a Jane Clifford, probably his cousin (see under Charles Clifford, #213). In 1870, Robert, Mildred and first four children were living in the Falmouth area of Pendleton County, Kentucky.¹⁷⁴⁹ In 1880, Robert and Mildred Clifford and first six children were back in Harrison County, living at Berry Station, where Robert was enumerated as a stock dealer.¹⁷⁵⁰ In 1900, Robert, Mildred and family were living in the Centerville area of Bourbon County, Kentucky.¹⁷⁵¹ In 1910, Robert and Mary Mildred were living by themselves in Bourbon County.¹⁷⁵² In 1920, Mildred was living by herself in Harrison County.¹⁷⁵³

544. ROBERT⁶ CLIFFORD (James⁵, Edward⁴, Charles³, James², unknown Clifford¹); born 24 January 1824; died 18 October 1906; buried in Rocky Springs Cemetery, Harrison County, Kentucky.¹⁷⁶⁸ Robert apparently did no marry.

In 1850, Robert Clifford (age 26) was living with Thomas Waldon (also spelled Walden), age 35 (or 25), and Sarah Waldon, age 22?, and their children and boarders in District 2, Harrison County.¹⁷⁶⁹ This Thomas Waldon was probably the Thomas Waldon, administrator of the estate of George R. Chandler (see #215) in 1850.¹⁷⁷⁰ Sarah (Kinsler) Waldon was a sister of Elizabeth Kinsler who married James S. Clifford (#536). Possibly Sarah Waldon was Sarah Clifford, a daughter of James and Rachel (Azby) Clifford, and hence a sister of Robert, see under James Clifford (#212).

In 1858, Robert purchased land from his father, James Clifford, and John J. (Jeems) Clifford and John J.'s wife Sarah Jane, the deed stating that Robert was "son of said James."¹⁷⁷¹ In 1860, Robert was living with his father and sister Elizabeth in Harrison County.¹⁷⁷² In 1870 and 1880, Robert, farmer, was living with his brother John Jeems Clifford (#545) and family in Harrison County.¹⁷⁷³ In 1900, Robert was living with William Filer (see Eliza Jane Clifford, #999) and family in the Tricum area of Harrison County.¹⁷⁷⁴

An 1858 deed lists Robert Clifford purchasing land from James Clifford and John J. Clifford and John J.'s wife Sara Jane. The deed stated that Robert was "son of said James."¹⁷⁷⁶ One would presume that the John J. was also a son of James.

Sara was a daughter of John Marr (born 27 March 1794, died 14 July 1877) and Jane (Stump) Marr (born 21 April 1804, died 1 June 1889); in 1850, Sara was still living with her parents and siblings Margaret Marr, age 10, Lewis Marr, age 9, James Marr, age 7, and Louisa Marr, age 4.¹⁷⁷⁷ In 1860, John J., a farmer, and three children were living in Harrison County.¹⁷⁷⁸ In 1870 and 1880, John J. and Sara and family were living in Harrison County, with John Jeems's brother Robert Clifford (#544), a farmer.¹⁷⁷⁹ In 1900, John J. and Sara and Orie Richardson, "grandson," born October 1889, were living in the Tricum area, Harrison County.¹⁷⁸⁰ Orie was a son of Frances Clifford (#1002) who married James William Richardson.

Robert was in the Union Army during the Civil War, 18th Kentucky Infantry.¹⁸¹⁵ In 1870, Robert Clifford was living in Elizabethtown, Pendleton County, Kentucky, with wife Phoebe and children Henry Clifford, born circa 1867, and Mary Clifford, born circa 1869.¹⁸¹⁶ In 1910, Robert was possibly deceased. Phoebe Jane (as Jane) was living with her sons Robert, James, Henry and grandson "Shelly" (Shelby) Clifford (son of Robert) in Menifee County, Kentucky.¹⁸¹⁷

I can not resolve the conflict between children Henry (born 1867) and Mary (born 1869) of the 1870 federal census and the Mary (born circa 1881-1882) and Henry (born 1883) of the 1910, 1920 and 1930 federal censuses. Since the dates for Mary and Henry in the "Clarence Emerson -Frenchburg, KY" web site ¹⁸¹⁸ correlates with the 1910-1930 censuses, I will list the children in order of these censuses. Neither Henry nor Mary was listed with the household in the 1880 federal census.¹⁸¹⁹ Possibly the Mary and Henry of the 1870 census died, and two subsequent children were also named Mary and Henry. This is supported by a 30 November 2001 letter of Zylpha (Clifford) Sprinkles
(see James Clifford, #1022), who is a granddaughter of Robert and Phoebe Clifford. She mentions that at the time of the 1900 federal census Robert and Phoebe (Wilson) Clifford reported eight living children and three that were dead, and Zylpha suggests that perhaps they used some of the names of children that died young.

There was also a Robert Clifford, born circa 1835 in Kentucky, listed as a farm laborer, living with a Matthew Thomison family in the Falmouth area of Pendleton County in 1870.¹⁸²⁰ I can not place this Robert Clifford.

In 1870, Charles Edward (enumerated as Edward) and Susannah (enumerated as Susan) and children Richard, James A. and William G. were living in Callensville, Pendleton County, Kentucky.¹⁸²⁶ In 1880, Edward and Susan and first eight children were living in the Berry Station area, Harrison County, Kentucky.¹⁸²⁷ In 1900, Charles, Susannah and family were living in the Richland area of Harrison County.¹⁸²⁸ In 1910, Charles Edward, Susannah and son John Clifford were living in Harrison County.¹⁸²⁹ By 1920, Charles Edward had died, and Susannah and her son John were still living in Harrison County.¹⁸³⁰

In 1880, there was a Lee Pattree and family living in Berry Station, Harrison County: Lee B. Patree, 26; Lucinda Patree, 24 (wife); and Anne Patree, 3, daughter. Also in the household was a John Clifford, age 1?.¹⁸³¹ Possible he was the John Clifford, son of Charles Edward and Susannah (Patrick/Patree) Clifford.

	1033	viii.	John Clifford; born 20 April 1880; died 28 January 1947. 1833 Probably he was the John Clifford, age 1?, living with Lee and Lucinda Patree in 1880.1834 If so, Lee Patree would probably have been John Clifford's uncle. In 1910, John was the only child enumerated with his parents; in 1920, John was still with his mother in Harrison County, where he was enumerated as a watchman on the railroad.1835 In 1930, there was a John Clifford (enumerated as a railroad watchman), born circa 1881, single, living in Cynthiana, Harrison County, with sister (probably should be sister-in-law), "widow," Alice Clifford (widow of John's brother James Anderson Clifford, who died in 1929), born circa 1878, and "niece" Frances Clifford, born circa 1907, and "nephew" Ollie?

	1037	xii.	Charles Clifford; born August 18931839 or 6 May 1889; died September 1974 in Kentucky;1840

Probably Charles Edward had a first wife, Armilda Clayton, who Charles Edward married 12 December 1861 in Harrison County, Kentucky (this information from Raymond Frank Clifford and his grandson Stephen Clifford, see under #1837), and they had child Molly Clifford, no dates, who married A. D. (Lee A.?) Townsend and had child Ann Townsend, born 1881; died 2 September 1964;¹⁸⁴¹ buried in Pythian Grove Cemetery, Harrison County, Kentucky.¹⁸⁴² However, if this is correct, Molly would have probably been a first child and married very young. Ann Townsend married Harvey Hardin. Their children were (1) Philip Sheridan Hardin, born 1904, died November 1951 (married Frances Smith and had child Helen Hardin who married William Gregory), (2) Ray Hardin, (3) Genevieve Hardin, (4) Maxine Hardin, and (5) Albert Hardin. But note that in 1900, Lee A. Townsend, born November 1857, and wife Beatrice, born February 1867, and large family (but no Ann) were living in Harrison County, Kentucky.¹⁸⁴³

In 1880, "James John" and wife Nancy were living in Harrison County.¹⁸⁴⁹ In the household were James John's brother Alexander Clifford (#577) and wife Julia and James John's brother Mortimer Clifford (#580).
