Steve, I suspect Gatsey Ann Pellum was born in Barnwell rather than Barnville. I have her father Uriah Middleton Pellum [Elder Pellum from Shilo Primitive Baptist Church] br 23 Sept 1795 in Barnwell and Uriah's mother Lydia Kirkland, dob unk in Barnwell and father Ambrose Pellum, Sr died in Barnwell in 1802. However, Elder T. C. McClenny in a letter written 30 July 1930 published in the Primitive Baptist Magazine, Vol XLC, 4 Dec 1930 stated: "First I want to say that my father David McClenny was born in North Carolina, December 25, 1816. My mother, Gatsy Ann Pellum was born in Barnville District, South Carolina, her birthdate unknown to me." Two things come to mind. One being the letter would have been handwritten and secondly in Elder McClenny's own words: "In conclusion will state that my own age is 81 years, 4 months and 8 days at this writing." I can readily see where Barnwell could have easily been mistaken to be Barnville. In passing I might also mention that Elder McClenny in the very last line of his letter stated: "If any of my old acquaintances in Alabama see this, I would like to hear from them personally." Having moved from Alabama to Texas in 1899, he still cherished his old friendships in Alabama. I can't answer your question about the Carrs. Sarah Carr's father was James Carr and her mother was Elizabeth Unknown. Thomas Charles and Sarah married in 1871 in the home of James Carr. The Alabama marriage license records show J. H. Medley, Minister of Gospel as having performed the ceremony. They appear on the 1880 census at Cox's Mill but I don't know where that was in relation to the places you mentioned. Obviously, I need to do more research on the Carr family. Good to hear from you and I will get back to you soon - hopefully- on some of the other information you sent me.

This is where the Zorn family that settled in Barbour County came from around 1830. Locally today, the folks of Barnwell County pronounce it as "Barr-null" County. Also, is this Carr family mentioned here of the same Carr family from the Mt. Enon Primitive Baptist Church area in Edwin, Henry County, just south of Bakerhill in Barbour County? Regards, Steve Rex Kirby <rex@tyler.net> wrote: Roberta, No problem...I don't know the full history of the McClenny/Clenney names but frequently you will find both names in the same family way back when... Now my question is - directing myself to your memory - what, if anything, do you have tucked away there about the McClenny family? My grandfather William Cloe McClenny was born in Henry Co in 1886. His father was Thomas Charles McClenny, br 1849 Barbour Co. Mother was Sarah Catherine Carr, br 1854 Barbour Co, mar 1871 Barbour Co; Thomas' dad was David McClenny br 1816 Johnston Co, NC who married Gatsey Ann Pellum br 1821 Barnville Dist, SC, mar 1841 Fayette Co, GA, then moved to AL and between 1841 and 1850 had seven children, six of whom were daughters. They are the ones who have eluded me. Any information will be very much appreciated.

Her name was Eliza Jane Clenny. Her parents were Reuben and Rebecca Galloway Clenney.
