V. — Jane McClanahan, Fifth Child of Robert, the Founder.
Her husband, Alexander St. Clair, came from Belfast, Ireland, and was for a long time a prosperous merchant in Staunton, and an active member of the County Court. He also represented Augusta in the State Senate, in the years 1791-3.
Her children were as follows:
- 1. Anne, wife of John Boys. She died when only nineteen years old, and her husband died a few years afterwards, leaving one child, Kitty Boys, who was the mother of Mr. Joseph A. Waddell, author of "Annals of Augusta County, Virginia" and member of the " Virginia Historical Society."
- 2. Jane, wife of Dr. William Boys, a cousin of John. Among her numerous descendants are the Cochrans, Telfairs, and Trimbles. Her only son, Alexander St. Clair Boys, died in Ohio, unmarried.
- 3. Sally, wife of Captain Robert Williamson, a native of Scotland, and a sea-captain; a man highly esteemed and eminent for his piety. They had two sons and two daughters. Probably some children of one of the sons are now living in Ohio. One of the daughters married a gentleman named McLauren, and left a number of children, some of whom are in Texas.
