As many of you know, my passion is the Clevengers of Wayne County, IL. I have spent 30 years accumulating information on the early families of Wayne County, IL in an effort to understand the lives of my ancestors. It has been a hard uphill battle, because of the lack of information of people who were not in the high social circles of the county. William Andrew Clevenger was not one of them. He must have been handsome as the devil however, but he wasn't in the "in crowd". I am speculating about his handsomeness because of what my great grandmother said about the early Clevenger men. William Clevenger married Nancy Ann Thompson in Wayne County, IL in 1857. and had three children, the last one born in 1862. Then in 1868, White County he married my ancestor Mrs. Nancy Jane Sinnett Williamson. Their first child was born 1868. Nancy Ann Thompson Clevenger discovered this and filed for divorce in Wayne County, citing the arrangement with my ancestor. She received a divorce in the February 17,1869 to March 10,1869 circuit court session. Apparently she remarried a Mr. SMITH and remained in Wayne County at least until the 1880 census. I would really appreciate information, no matter how small- at this stage I will admitt that I am looking for a miracle. Candee Hoff
