I told you I would post the neighbors of my David Clifton Sr found on the 1840 census. In 1840 his farm was located near Cobb Station Road, Richland/Eagle/Hammonds Creek. If you look at the colorized map on my web page http://members.aol.com/ladyaster7/LM.htm it's in the area of the E M Cobb Tabacco ware house and the Clifton cemetery (look for orange dot to right of Smith Ville PO). David's land is in that general area from the cemetery across to the right going towards Grant Co line. His family members later married into most of these family lines.

After the decease of my wife and relinquisment of my daughter, the plantation with other remaining property to be sold and equally divided amongst the above named legatees. No one permitted to sell their....I do herby appoint my son Benjamin F Kenny executor to the above will. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 13th day of June 1835. (s) E.D. Kenny Witness: Will T Barnham, Richard Coates.

The Revolutionary soldier Edward Dunlap Kenny's pension record says Edward D. Kenny alias John Kenny served out of Pennsylvania. Edward and John Kenny are the same person.(I still haven't figured out why he has an alias...). "In reply to your request for a statement of military history of John Kenney or Edward D. Kenney a soldier of the Revolutionary War, you will find below the desired information as contained in his S.F. 35,487 for pension on file in the Bureau. June 1777 to end of war Lt. David Marshal, Vernon, PA. Date of application June 2 1828. Residence at date of application Scott Co, KY Age at date of application 65 years. in 1828 he referred to his wife(name not stated) between 50 & 60 years of age, his daughter, Pamela, age not stated, and his sons Jack, 17, Dunlap age 15, William 12 and Richard, 9 yrs. old." Edward D(or John) Kenny's will is on record in Owen County, KY , and mentions his wife Nancy and also another daughter, Charlotte Kenny Gibbs plus the children named above.. A Nancy Shumate, daughter of Daniel and Tabitha (Dodson) Shumate married an Edward Kenny in Fauquier Co,VA which I believe is his wife mentioned in the will. The Shumate historians, say Nancy and Edward left VA soon after their marriage, which coincides with the birthplace of their first daughter whose birthplace is KY on the the 1850 census.

Dear Listers Thanks for a view of the Pension List. My ancestor, Lewis Vallandingham, was on the list, as I thought. I believe he was half Shawnee. And he was a fourteen year-old soldier during the Rev War in Fairfax, VA. Then he served under D. Boone and Geo. Rogers Clark during the Indian Wars afterward. His wife, Betsy Bruce Drake Vallandingham, got the pension until 1856. Then the family was off the dole for a while. Tom

I decend from Edward Kenney age 78, through his daughter Charlotte Kenny Gibbs if anyone else is working this line. Cathy Crenshaw Morgan
