Information on Archibald Clendenin

From "History of Rockbridge County, Virginia":

Archibald Clendennin lived in this valley before moving to the lower Cowpasture, where he died in 1749. Archibald, Jr., was the most conspicuous victim in the Greenbrier massacre of 1763. Charles, another son, gave his name to the capital of West Virginia. (Note: this reference to son Charles giving his name to the capital of South Carolina is in error. Based upon other sources (and Archibald's will naming a son John, not Charles), a different Clendenin family, from Pennsylvania was the family that migrated to Charleston, West Virginia)
