I am descended from Flora Lee MCClendon, daughter of Mattie and Wm. Boyd McClendon. My grandmother, Flora, was born in St. Clair County in Pell City, i believe, altho they lived also in Springville. If anyone has information on the McClendons of St. Clair Co, it would be greatly appreciated! Mattie and Boyd were first cousins. Mattie's parents were Joel Dennis and Paulina Elizabeth (FORTNER) McClendon. Boyd's parents were Jasper Joseph and LauraJane (TUCKER) McClendon. Joel Dennis and Jasper Joseph had the same parents- Dennis sr. and "Senia". The McClendons prior to my great-grandparents, Mattie and Boyd, lived in Marshall Co. for several generations. The parentage of Dennis senior has not yet been established. Some believe he came from GA, others, TN. If anyone on the list can share what they have on this family (especially prior to Dennis senior) with me, it would be truly appreciated. I have quite a bit of info on McClendon families of St. Clair and Marshall Counties in the 1800s, as well as a few counties east and southeast of these 2 counties. I'd be willing to share what i can, and would hope that there is someone on the list who can help me as well. Also, i would like to find more info on Paulina/Panina Elizabeth Fortner and her mother, Nancy. I know nothing more about their family other than the mother's name and approximate date of birth. If you are related to any Fortners of Marshall or St. Clair Co., please contact me. I also have info on Laura Jane Tucker's family back to her grandparents and their children (who came to Marshall County, AL from TN and NC) and would be willing to share that info as well. Good luck in your search! Donna in MT NatrLvrnMT@aol.com
