Page 27 The first two children of James and Margaret (Anderson) Clendenin are proved by the will of Margaret Anderson, grandmother of Margaret (Anderson) Clendenin.

The grandmother, Margaret made her will May 4, 1761. It was probated in Augusta County, Virginia March 20, 1764. Will book 3, page 311. This will names Hannah Anderson and John Clendenin, children of James and Margaret (Anderson) Clendenin.

The other names of the children comes from a manuscript of Mrs. D. W. Hayes dated December, 1940 and found in the Filson Club of Louisville, Kentucky. Mr. Hayes names additional children Mary Rebeccah , William and Martha 'Patsy'. Other sources maintain Mary and Rebeccah are two separate daughters. The Sympson Bible lists Rebeccah as the wife of William Sympson.

Page 28 "William Anderson, son of John and Margaret (____) Anderson, was born probably, in Ireland about 1718; died in Augusta County, Virginia in 1794. His will dated August 27, 1792 and probated in June 1794 names his children and sons-in-law. James and Margaret (Anderson) Clendenin are named here. Recorded in Augusta County Clerks in Will Book 8, page 114.
He married first Margaret (Reid?) who died the night her baby daughter Margaret, was born. April 10, 1743."

Two of the children of William Anderson were baptized by Rev. John Craig at the Tinkling Springs Presbyterian Church near Staunton, Virginia.

(This is verified by the diary of Rev. John Craig and listed in Appendix F Record of Baptisms 1740-1749 (page 470 Tinkling Springs Presbyterian Church)
