I am researching the CLINARD surname, the original CLINARD came to this country in approx. 1713, settling in Pennsylvania with the suname KLEINERT. One of them migrated to NC, where the name evolved over the years to CLINARD in the Deep River area of Rowan Co.. My line has dead-ended at Davis CLINARD, Sr. b. abt 1818 in NC, died 9-19-1896 in Michigan, I believe. He married Rebecca PHILLIPS dau. of Mary PEGG and Aaron PHILLIPS of Deep River, NC. Is anyone else out there researching any of these names? I know all the Clinards are related somehow. Beth
