The McClinton's came from the Abbeville, South Carolina, area to Alabama. There is a book on the McClinton's, called "McClinton Families of Old Ninety-Six and Abbeville Districts South Carolina and Their Westward Movement in the Colonial and Early Years of America" by Arthur T. McClinton. I ordered a copy about 4 years ago from: Celia M. McClinton 405 Highlands Lane Harrisonberg, VA 22801 It cost $20 then - you might check to see if it is still in print and available. Information on Clarke County, families is limited - it focuses on a branch of the family that went from South Carolina to Illinois, but does include information on South Carolina ancestry and lists all sources of information. As far as the Clarke County McClinton's, here is what I have on the original settler, Samuel M. McClinton, and his 10 children. Descendants of Samuel M. McClinton 1 Samuel M.
