Mary Clendenin, a daughter of James and Margaret (Anderson) Clendenin, was born in Greenbrier County, (W) Virginia in 1761 and died in Roane County, (W) Virginia in 1853. She married Charles Francis Boggs in 1776/7. Charles, a son of James Charles and Margaret Jane (Sharp) Boggs, was born in Chester County, Pennsylvania in 1754 and died in Braxton County (W) Virginia in 1836/7. He removed with his family to Augusta County, Virginia in 1762 and to Greenbrier County (W) Virginia in 1771.

After the death of her husband, she removed to the home of her granddaughter Miriam (Boggs) Griffith, (a daughter of her son James Clendenin Boggs), as seen on the 1850 Kanawha County, (W) Virginia Census.

Update 14 Jan 2023 - Original death year and place was 1853, Newton, Roane County, (West) Virginia. Source: Descendants of James Boggs by Ruth Hall --- I believe this is wrong, as there was a Mary Clendenin who died in 1853 in Roane - Source: Edmund West, comp.. Family Data Collection - Deaths --- her name would be Mary Boggs as she was a widow. --- Also, there was a Mary Boggs who died 18 Jun 1853 who was a daughter of Archibald H Boggs. That Mary is NOT this Mary. That Mary is a great-granddaughter of this Mary.

Note: Mary did NOT have a middle name Rebecca. Please do not suggest this in the Edit tab, there is NO record of a middle name for Mary. She DID NOT marry after her husband, Charles passed away. I've come to realize that she is confused with a Mary Rebecca Clendenning/Clendenin who married William Sympson on 1 Jan 1790, Virginia according to the "Indiana Daughters of the American Revolution". According to Vi Ringo, who submitted on 12 Aug 2010, her father was John Clendennin. Thank you (CSBB 20 Jul 2022)

Her grandfather was Charles Clendenin from which Charleston West Virginia was named from. He was the first person to die at a Fort Lee/Fort Clendenin to protect the settlers from Indians.

According to the Clendenin History mentioned under William Glendining, Charles Clendenin's four sons, George, William, Robert and Alexander founded and help settle Charlestown, West Virgina.

Charles Clendenin (1712-1790)

his wife Mary Ann Patterson Clendenin (1715-1788)

Thank you Greg Ellis for the correction of Miriam as granddaughter and not daughter.
