I’VE GOT A CASE OF THE “NEEDHAMS”!

Saundra R. Oliver Brown

It is a very complex disease. It causes me to read and re-read over and over again old stuff. There are so many of them and the evidence in the courthouses doesn’t point you exactly to which one they belong to sometimes. Well, it’s about time that we who represent a NEEDHAM to STAND UP AND CLAIM YOUR NEEDHAM. You of the particular bloodline of a particular NEEDHAM, please come to the rescue of those of us who have a case of the “NEEDHAMS”!

You know you wouldn’t think that the odd name of NEEDHAM MCLENDON would cause such a stir. You have to admit that it is odd. Therefore, you would hope that because of its oddness, it would be easy to locate. Not like the common names of James, John, and Dennis. Whew! There are a lot of Dennises in the McLendon history. I’ve found the given name NEEDHAM spelled in many ways: NEEDHAM, NEADHAM, and NEESHAM. For there to be 9 of them born between 1782 and 1849, there would have to be a cousin relationship going on here. You know where one person in the family names his child NEEDHAM and then later on, his brother or cousin down the line names their child NEEDHAM as well, and so on, and so on, and so on.

Well, let’s start with listing the NEEDHAMs that are causing such havoc. There were 2 born in South Carolina, 1 born in Mississippi, about 5 born in Georgia, and 2 with middle names. If only all of them had middle names, this procedure would at least help to ease the pain of piecing the jigsaw puzzle together, like putting nametags in the collars of their shirts.

1. NEEDHAM MCLENDON born 1782 in South Carolina who married POLLY SEARS. It is said that his parents were EPHRIAM ELIJAH MCLENDON 1750 and ELIZABETH TOMLINSON.

2. NEEDHAM MCLENDON born 1800 in South Carolina who married 3 times, first, to MARGARET DILL, then secondly, to ISABELLA BAREFIELD, and thirdly, to HARRIET JORDAN. I propose that his father is WILLIAM MCLENDON 1728, eldest son of DENNIS MCLENDON 1702 and MARTHA DUNN.

3. NEEDHAM MCLENDON born 1818 in Laurens County, Georgia. His parents were NEEDHAM MLENDON 1782 and POLLY (MARY) SEARS.

4. NEEDHAM MCLENDON born 1833 (need birthplace). His parents were DENNIS MCLENDON AND MARTHA “PATSY” TISON who themselves were born in Georgia.

5. NEEDHAM DAVID MCLENDON 1834 born in Early Co, GA. His parents were NEEDHAM MCLENDON 1800 AND MARGARET ELIZABETH “BETSY” DILL 1800.

6. NEEDHAM MCLENDON born 1846 in Simpson County, Mississippi. His parents are listed as WILLIAM MCLENDON 1767 born in North Carolina and BARBARA REBECCA AARON born in Orangeburg District, South Carolina.

7. NEEDHAM MCLENDON born 1849 (need birthplace), died young of fever. His parents were NEEDHAM MCLENDON 1818 and HARRIET SEARS.

8. NEEDHAM B. (BUCK) MCLENDON born 1856 Mississippi. His parents were Isham McClendon and Mary Miles.

9. NEEDHAM HOLMES MCLENDON born 1858 in Early County, Georgia. His parents were JOHN MCLENDON and SUSAN ANNE ELIZABETH MCLAIN.

So there, I’ve listed them. Are you confused yet?

These people line up into 3 different camps under the great McLendon ancestral tree, so far, sharing a common ancestry.:

1. Those descended from DENNIS MCLENDON 1702 and MARTHA DUNN, the son of DENNIS MECKLENDEN 1680 and MARGARET MARY EARLY 1683.

q 1800 NEEDHAM MCLENDON

q 1834 NEEDHAM DAVID MCLENDON

q 1846 NEEDHAM MCLENDON

q 1858 NEEDHAM HOLMES MCLENDON

2. Those descended from EPHRIAM ELIJAH MCLENDON 1750 and ELIZABETH TOMLINSON. ELIZABETH was the daughter of WILLIAM TOMLINSON, and the granddaughter of JOSIAH TOMLINSON. I do not know as yet how this EPHRIAM ELIJAH MCLENDON hooks into the great McLendon ancestral tree. His ancestors are being discussed and debated now. Soon we will find out who these mystery parents are.

q 1782 NEEDHAM MCLENDON

q 1818 NEEDHAM MCLENDON

q 1833 NEEDHAM MCLENDON

q 1849 NEEDHAM MCLENDON

3. Those descended from ISHAM MCLENDON and MARY MILES (1827 SC) who married 15 December 1853 in Rankin County, Mississippi. ISHAM’S ancestry is still being discussed and debated. We need help in going back through his ancestry. Can anyone help us out? 1856 NEEDHAM B. (BUCK) MCLENDON

SO WHERE DO YOU STAND IN THIS LINE-UP? SIGN-IN PLEASE!!

EVIDENCE!! WE NEED EVIDENCE! This is our anguished cry! Well, there is evidence all around. What we have to do is figure out which piece of evidence goes under which NEEDHAM.

I. ABOUT NEEDHAM MCLENDON 1800

HIS ANCESTORS:

Dennis McClendon III (4.Dennis3, 2.Dennis2, 1.John1) b. cir 1702, North Carolina, m. Martha Dunn. Dennis died cir 1734, Camden, Kershaw Co. SC.

Children:

i William McLendon b. 1728.

ii Lewis McLendon b. 1730.

iii John McLendon b. 1732.

iv Jesse McLendon b. 1736.

v Ezekiel McLendon b. 1742, Cumberland Co. NC. d. 1802, Anson Co. SC.

Note: Ezekiel McLendon moved to Anson County, North Carolina with his father when he was about nine years old. He was a large land owner in Anson County. His homestead was on Brown Creek. Part of his land fell in Montgomery County in 1779, when they formed Montgomery County from Anson County. According to old Army Accounts Books of North Carolina, page 45, Ezekiel McLendon was listed as a Revolutionary Soldier.

FROM THE LEONARDO ANDREAS PAPERS

3. The first mention of the name McClendon is in the parish register of Pr. Frederick Episcopal Church of Craven County...This church was

then located along the present boundary of Georgetown and Williamsburg counties south of the Pee Dee River and on the Black River...This church

served as the parish church from 1715 to 1760 for all of Craven County. In Craven County were also congregations of Presbyterian and Baptist

churches at that time.

4. Baptized to DENNIS McCLENDEN and his wife Martha.

q Francis McClenden the 2nd day of Dec. 1753, aged 8 years last April. (This would be 5-3)

q Enoch McClenden the 2nd day of Dec. 1753, and 1 year old last Dec 28th. (This would be 5-5)

q Zelphia Girk (Kirk) McClenden on the 2nd Day of Dec. 1753 and born ye 28th (Month missing) 1748. (This would be 5-4)

4-1 Dennis McLendon and wife Martha residence of Bishopville, Lee Co., S. C. Dennis McClendon probably died abt 1784. April 17, 1784, Dennis McClendon’s property was appraised and recorded in Book A, Page 130-31. Dennis McClendon, dec'd 1784, Camden county, S. C. and John Stone on the right of his wife, Martha Stone, appointed administrator of the estate. Dennis McClendon was arrested in 1780 for being a tory.

5-1 William McLendon, see sale of land in Darlington Co., S. C. By John Stone and wife Martha, and signed by William McLendon, eldest son of Dennis McClendon.dec'd William was probably born about 1740-41, and may be earlier.

5-2 Jesse McLendon b abt 1742-3

5-3 Francis McLendon b 1745

5-4 Zelpha Kirk McLendon b 1750

5-5 Enoch McLendon b 1752

5-6 Lewis McLendon (McClendon) of Sumter Co., S. C. will of 1817 is said to have been a son of Dennis McLendon and wife Martha, by some Martha McLendon, wife of Dennis, was probably married 1740 or earlier. If she were 18 years of age when married then she was born about 1722. Then she would have been 62 years old in 1784.

44 Estate of Dennis McClendon and Admst. 8 Mar. 1784 by his widow, Martha McClendon...Her bond was sg. by John Hobirt & Burrell Boykin... Appraisers were listed as William Spivey, David Robinson & Charles Price. Later on...Martha McClendon, widow of Dennis McClendon, deceased in 1782, shows as now (1784) as being married to JOHN STONE.* *I checked all Stone wills in the files to see if I could find any McClendon data in them...I found none, save as witnesses twice.

46 John Stone and his wife, Martha Stone and WILLIAM McCLENDON, eldest son and heir of DENNIS McCLENDON, now deceased, all join in a joint deed 13 Jan. 1786, a tract of land, granted to Dennis McClendon dated 13 Jan. 1775 to James Rembert on the Great Road to Georgetown. /Wit. William Cook, Jesse McClendon & William Dyches. said land lying upon Spring Branch.

*Refer back to #12 and to #s16 & 17 and NOTE no grant for 8 Feb. 1775 I see now in that deed, that Miss Revill does not place this in the deed proper but merely states "Dennis McClendon had a land grant 8 Feb. 1775" *

46a Here it seems that the only heirs of Dennis McClendon #44 were his widow....Martha McClendon m. John Stone, William McClendon, the eldest son and heir. Jesse McClendon.

Since this deed was in 1785, the law of primogeniture, by which an eldest son heired all the estate when the father died intestate, that law was

then out of date (However in some instances it continued until after the adoption of the U.S. Constitution)

48 Miss Revill states that this Dennis #44 resided in Darlington Co. at Poplarsville, now Bishopville...she states that this Dennis is the same Dennis #4...she also states that he was the son of John McClendon whose widow was named Mary and left a will which I number as #10 and Revill gives same as I gave in #10...Again Revill mentions that Mary may have been a widow of an earlier Dennis McClendon.

53 The U.S Census for 1790...the first # indicates how many males in the family over the age of 16......2nd # indicates how many males under age of 16.....3rd # indicates how many females including the wife.

57 Orangeburg District and at that time included Orangeburg, Calhoun, Barnwell, Lexington and parts of Newberry, Sa1uda, Edgefield, Aiken and Allendale, present counties.

60 The 1800 census for Orangeburg District shows :

Shadrach McClendon William McClendon Jesse McClendon Jr. John McClendon

“I do not have the Barnwell area for 1800...Andrea.”

This Jesse McClendon Jr..showed as under 26 and with three small girls. In his home were a man and woman both over 45 and likely his parents.

1800 Darlington Distrist SC census has McLendons spelled as “MLendal” : Dennis, William, and John MLendal, and Asa Barefield

(Here is an interesting fact – Needham’s daughter married Hugh G. Barefield (born 1819 NC), son of Allen Sommersett Barefield and Catherine ___________. They have a son named Asa Barefield born December 13, 1846 in Georgia. I bet a dime to a donut hole that Hugh G Barefield (1819) and the Asa Barefield in the 1800 SC census are some kind of kin!)

1810 Darlington District SC census has William McLendon

“DARLINGTON COUNTY, S. C.

5-1 William McClendal, 20 Sept 1815, for the love and affection I have to my son, Needham McClendal, the 150 acres where I live and with it all the stock and furniture I have there/ Wit. Joseph Davis and Rebecca Walters”

“William McClendon, signed deeds for land as eldest son of Dennis.

Wm. McClendel (McClendon) gives land to Needham McClendon, his son, 1818 in Darlington, S. C. This Needham probably moved to Fort Gains, Ga. This Family stated to me Needham was from Darlington Dist. in S. C. and was a very large family of boys. A number of brothers migrated over to Ala., and then went to Miss. In Miss. some become dissatisfied, and returned to Ala. and Ga. and some returning to S. C. Some of these liked Miss. and stayed there. Needham afterwards visited his kin back in Miss. but they did not know their names nor what part of Miss. They lived.

Wm. McClendon, Sr., had 11 slaves, Hancock Co., Ga., 1792-1818. Wm. was considered perhaps the largest planter in Hancock Co., at that time. He probably left Ga for parts unknown. He may be the Wm. above.

6-1 Needham McClendon b abt 1800 and moved to Wayne Co., Miss. And then to Clay Co., Ga. m 1st Margaret Dill m 2nd..... Barfield married 3rd Harriet Jordan of Clay Co., Ga.

7-1 John McLendon b Aug. 6, 1819, Darlington Dist., S. C. married Elizabeth McLane of Early Co., Ga.”

THIS GIFT TO NEEDHAM MAKES A LOT OF SENSE. IN 1818 NEEDHAM WENT TO MISSISSIPPI AND MARRIED MARGARET DILL. COULDN’T THIS GIFT OF LAND BE A WEDDING PRESENT? 1st Marriage 1818 Wayne Co Mississippi To Margaret Elizabeth “Betsy” Dill Born 27 July 1800 Darlington Dist, Sc – Died 21 December 1834 Ft. Gaines, Clay Co, Ga

Then on December 7, 1818

39 Land Grants after the Revolution to McClendon and note that the old Crown laws were not in effect then. A person could take as much vacant land as he could find. McClendon Grants in Index II. William McClendal, 150 a[cres] in Edgefield Co. 7 Dec. 1818.

1819 Wayne Co, Miss - His Son was JOHN (1819) MCLENDON was born 6 Aug 1819 Wayne Co, MS-16 Jan 1891 Ft Gaines, Clay Co, GA; buried New Park Cemetery, Ft Gaines)

Letter from Samuel E McClendon, 2536 Nashville Ave, New Orleans 15, LA, October 8, 1947 to Mrs. C. E, Bigbie of Calhoun, GA “I have been working on the genealogy of this family and I understand that John McClendon once visited his kin folks in Miss. and La. Needham McLendon had brother who settled in Wayne Co., Miss. so I have been told. I am very anxious to know who these folks were who John McLendon visited in Miss. and La.”

Tax Roll: 1819 - Records Of Wayne County, Mississippi Compiled by Ben & Jean Strickland, P.O. Box 5147, Moss Point, MS 39563, Vol #2 (9762573S) 1981

Neadam McLendon - 1 white poll; Tax $1.00

William McLendon - 1 white; Tax $1.00

In the 1820 Darlington District, South Carolina census are these people: JAMES; DENNIS; JESSE; and WILLIAM MCLENDON. (NEEDHAM MCLENDON is not listed there, probably because he had moved to Wayne County, Mississippi. He would have been around age 25. He stayed in Mississippi and had some children there.)

1820 Wayne County, Mississippi Census

The numerations beside Needham's name is 200101-00100-0

Needham McLendon Age 45+ (before and up to 1775)

female age 26-45 (born between 1775-1794) MARGARET DILL MCLENDON

female age 10-16 (born between 1804-1810)

female age 16-26 (born between 1794-1810)

2 females, 1 male ages up to 10 (born between 1800-1810)

By the records we already have on Needham's children by Margaret Dill, there would only be 2 children listed in the 1820 census. However, the 1820 Wayne County, Mississippi census has 5 children living in his household. This census was taken on the 1st Monday in August in 1820. John was born 6 August 1819 and William was born after the census was taken on 27 December 1820. Therefore, Needham had more children in the house than he sired, and of whom no one seems to talk about. This Needham was on the same page as William McLendon, p. 115, Wayne Co., MS census 100001-21110-0. There were no slaves listed for either of them. William and Job Dill were in the same census with Needham here in Mississippi.

Job was Margaret Dill’s father.

Needham had a son WILLIAM (1820) MCLENDON who was born 27 Dec 1820 Wayne Co, Mississippi-28 Feb 1901 Early Co, GA, buried Bethel Church Cemetery, Early Co, GA. His daughter -MARY POLLY MARGARET MCLENDON was born 4 Oct 1822 Mississippi; and his son SILAS MCLENDON was born 3 Oct 1824 Mississippi-bef 1872 GA. Then he moved to Georgia.

1825 Georgia Journal (Milledgeville, Georgia) News Article: On the 1st Tuesday in September next, will be sold at the courthouse in Montgomery County....300 acres of land, and one other tract of 200 acres...with a grist mill and dwelling houses, levied on as the property of HENRY COOPER, to satisfy sundry executions in favor of NEEDHAM MCLENDON, P. C. TEMPLE, and JAMES ALSTON. (Signed) JOHN TURNBULL, D. Sheriff

1830 Jones County, Georgia, there is also a DENNIS MCCLENDON.

Just a little to wet your whistle. Now it’s time to work backwards on Needham’s ancestry more.

II. ABOUT NEEDHAM MCLENDON 1846

FROM MELBA GOFF ALLEN'S BOOK "THE MCLENDON'S OF AMERICA" –

"Needham McClendon b. 18 April 1846 Simpson County, MS" s/o William and Barbara Rebecca Aaron

"William McClendon b. 1794-1800 near the head of Sparrow Swamp, Darlington District, S.C. m. (1) 25 February, 1819 on the waters of Black Creek, Darlington District, S.C. by the Rev. Williams, Minister of the Baptist Church, to Nancy Moore, b. 25 May 1801 on Black Creek in Darlington District, S.C.. Daughter of Anthony and Keshia Moore. William and Nancy had nine issues. They moved to Lawrence Co., Miss., (2) 10 Sept. 1839 on the waters of O-Pala_hatch-A, Rankin Co., Miss., to Barbara Aaron, b. in ORANGEBURG DISTRICT S.C., daughter of William and Barbara Aaron. William McClendon and Barbara Aaron McClendon had ten (10) issues. Many descendants of William McClendon and his two wives live in Simpson Co., and the State of Miss."

William McClendon is s/o Dennis McLendon and Delilah Beasley

"Dennis McLendon, b. 1762 S. C., m. (1) Delilah Beasley and had two issues. Delilah died and Dennis m. (Anna?). The family of Dennis and Delilah McLendon removed to Lawrence and Simpson Co., Miss.. "

Dennis McLendon is the s/o John McLendon of S.C. wife unknown - In one place Melba lists 1732 as b.d. and in another 1736.

John McLendon is the s/o Dennis Mecklenden, McLendon and Mary Martha Dunn –

Dennis b. ca. 1702 N. C. d. 1782 (or 1784 - Melba gives different dates in different parts of book) Camden Co., S.C. m. ca. 1729 to Martha Dunn, b. ca. 1706 NC.

Dennis is s/o Dennis and Margaret Mary Early of Bertie Co., NC.

Dennis Mecklenden b. ca. 1680-81 in Scotland, d. 1725 Bertie Co., N.C., m. Margaret Mary Early, b. c. 1683-84 daughter of John and Mary Bush Early.

Dennis Mecklenden is the s/o Dennis Mecklenden b. in Scotland ca. 1650 d. 1706 - " "We find from the Colonial Records of North Carolina Vol. 1 p. 479 Perquimans County Court, the following: At a court holden for this precinct at ye hus of Thomas Nicholas the seconct Monday in January 1696-7. Dennis McClenden proven eleven rits whoes names are under wretten viz himselfe, Charles Cafen, Mary his wife, Margaret Dun, Dennes Dun, Rebecka Carpenter, Elizabeth Macklenden, Thomas Macklenden, Brient Macklenden, Dennes Macklenden, ffrancis Macklenden. Note : Mary is listed as wife of Charles Cafen, but no mention of Elizabeth being the wife of Dennis the Immigrant, therefore one must reach their own conclusion. No document has been found to prove Elizabeth was the wife of Dennis the Immigrant, no will has been found, nor was she ever mentioned on land transactions. Most genealogist believe Elizabeth was the wife of dennis and is probably true, otherwise he would have married earlier than 1702 in America." ..........."Elizabeth b. in Scotland, died 1702 Perquimans Co., N.C.

William McClendon b. 1800 (His Bible is still in existance) m. 1st to Nancy Moore, (Dtr. of Anthony & Kesiah Moore) and the Bible states "William McClendon married on the Waters of Black Creek, Darlington Co. S.C. to Nancy Moore 25 Feb. 1819 by the Rev. Williams, a Baptist minister. Nancy was born 25 May 1801 at Black Creek Waters in Darling- Co.

I hardly think this William is same as #86 who in 1815 was deeding land to his son, Needham McClendon, for this William was not married until 1819.....This William did have a son, Needham McClendon b. 1846 as noted from the Bible.

Hi: Apparently I am a cousin. I descend from Needham McLendon, b. ca 1782 and Mary (Polly)Elizabeth Sears, b ca 1793 through their son, Pollard McCormick McLendon and Eliza Ann Thigpen, on one side and through their daughter Cemantha McLendon and Thomas Andrew Davis on the other side. In other words I get a double portion because I am descended from Needhan and Mary Elizabeth Sears McLendon through two of their children. I would be very interested in Knowing how you descend from them. I look forward to hearing from you. My e-mail address is db1202@aol.com Dane Jason Bennett.

Hi:   Apparently I am a cousin. I descend from Needham McLendon, b. ca 1782 and Mary (Polly)Elizabeth Sears, b ca 1793 through their son, Pollard McCormick McLendon and Eliza Ann Thigpen, on one side and through their daughter Cemantha McLendon and Thomas Andrew Davis on the other side. In other words I get a double portion because I am descended from Needhan and Mary Elizabeth Sears McLendon through two of their children.   I would be very interested in Knowing how you descend from them. I look forward to hearing from you. My e-mail address is db1202@aol.com       Dane Jason Bennett.
