Mary married Conrad in the early 1780’s and they had four daughters and a son. Mary and Conrad divorced on June 23, 1812 and as part of the settlement she was “to receive at any time she asked a chaff bed with a feather bed to go over it and to live with whoever she pleased as a free, unmarried woman.” She would also receive $200 annually and agreed to not go to Conrad’s home unless he asked for her.
They had five children. All are linked below.
Mary would go on to play a significant role in the formation and development of Hedgesville West Virginia. In 1832, Josiah Hedges laid off lots and established a village along the Warm Spring Road near a limestone spring on North Mountain at a site that had been an old meeting place of Native Americans. Originally known as Skinners Gap, Hedges called the village Hedgesville. The clean, clear water and the beautiful surroundings gave Hedges the thought that the area would be a good site for a resort. Mary Claycomb owned land adjacent to lots owned by Hedges and decided, in 1836, to lay it off into lots. Most of these lots were given to her children. This addition to Hedgesville was called Mary Claycomb’s Improvement to Hedgesville. On February 11, 1836, the Virginia General Assembly formally created the town of Hedgesville comprising the combined property of Josiah Hedges and Mary Claycomb.
