I am attempting to discover what the middle name of Andrew D. Clinard, Jr. was, who died in Floyd Co, GA in 1887. He was a hotel keeper who moved his profession from Athens, GA to Rome, GA in the early 1880s. He was buried at Myrtle Hill Cemetery, in Rome. He married Mary Wharton in Rutherford Co, TN in 1858, and a daughter was born in TN. Is there anyone in the local area of Clarke County who can check around and find out what the "D" in Andrew's middle name stood for? Below are exepts of various facts that I have uncovered about him. Many of the comments were found in his personal letters included in the "L.N. Clinard" collection in the state archives in Raliegh, NC. The letters were wrote to his parents, Andrew D. Clinard, Sr and Lydia, in NC. Any help finding out what the "D" stood for is appreciated very much. 3/25/1857-- leaves North Carolina (for TN?).
