There are 21 of them in the YSEARCH.ORG DNA database. If you are unaware of this subject, goto http://www.ysearch.org/ and enter the CLENDENIN name in the search box. You will be able to email them if you wish. I match 24 of 25 DNA markers with two of them myself. That means a 50% chance of us having a common ancestor within 7 generations and a 90% chance within 16 generations.
