Person:James Clendenen (2)

James is found in:

• 1860 census in Winchester, Madison Township, Franklin, Ohio;
• 1870 census in Jo Daviss Co., Illinois (with w and 2 d, son-in-law)
• 1875 and 1880 censuses in Labette Co, Kansas w/ d and sil

There apparently was another, somewhat older, James Clendenen in Fairfield Co., who married in 1830 and was head of household in the 1840 census. He is not found in Ohio in the 1850 census. The reasoning behind selecting the younger James to be Andrew's son is his local presence in 1850 (when he was mentioned in Andrew's will) and the fact that Andrew still had a son (of an appropriate age) living at home in the 1840 census. It might be that the older James was Andrew's brother or nephew.
