[Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

First name sometimes shown as Edwin, but appears to be Edmund based on both the 1850 and 1860 census. Shown as Edward on the 1910 census. He may have been a minister, as the Dallas County, MO marriage record of his younger brother, Daniel McClanahan to Sarah Quigley shows that Daniel was married to Sarah by "the Rev. E. F. McClanahan" in the home of of T. H. Quigley.

Ken Harvey writest that "Names on marriage cert. are McClahan and Ritten--misspelled but correct date. He served in the Union Army but no records have been found. Recorded as being born in Illinois."

Notes:

Naomi Emmich posted the following about this family:

Wakonda dist, Carrolton Carroll Co MO 1880 census for spouse and children (brother Chesterfield was in Rea twp of Carroll Co; Mary's HOOVER parents were one county east in Saline) Birth of a dau there says they arrived MO in 1870 This is probably the John Clapp who filed for land near George Clapp in Seward Co NE in 1868, but cancelled in 1869.

Coles Co IL Land Records index from Betty Turner shows: John Clapp to John Shields 1 Oct 1869 Book 25, p 483 where did this land come from???

John?s heirs Ida and Dora named in sale of Sarah?s widows dower 1893

Collet/Browns in 1860 census Hurricane twp, Clapps there 1880- why?

look also in parent county for early records, Collets and Browns

1880 John Clapp, son of George and Eliza White lived there with wife Mary and family. did they stay long enough that they left marriage records or other such??? yes, his heirs Ida and Dora named in sale of Sarah?s widows dower 1893 [except records provided by V. J. Mitchell show Ida had already died, and younger sibling of Dora were not named... the families seem to have lost touch by the time John died.]

John married Mary "Mollie" Luanna Hoover on 18 Oct 1866 in Coles County, Illinois. Mary was born in Jan 1844 in Missouri; died in Jan 1914 in Chickasha, Grady County, Oklahoma; was buried in Rose Hill Cemetery, Chickasha, Grady County, Oklahoma. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

On her FindAGrave memorial, created by Nort & Jan Addy, the inscription on her tombstone in the Rosehill Cemetery was shown as "Mary, wife of J.W. Norton". The family bible refers to Mary Hoover and Mary Clapp in each of the two family records for which she is mother (she married John Clapp by whom she had 6 children prior to marrying James Wiley Norton). The Norton family plot is on the north end of Cedar.

Notes:

Charles Strong found the family listed on the 1850 Schuyler County, Missouri census listing while on a research trip in Schulyer County, Missouri in November, 2002. He also located a deed titled Elias and Adeline Brown to Enoch C. McClanahan filed for record on July 28, 1855, made and entered into on the third day of June 1854 in the State of Missouri, County of Schulyer for land. The land was located about a mile and a half northwest of the town called Green Top. Reference Book 4, page 67. Charles sent the copy of the complete deed to Cova Jean Williams for her files.

U S General Land Office Records, 1796-1907 show that Enoch C. McClanahan was issued 40 acres of land on the 5th PM(eridan) in Schuyler County, MO, Twp 64-N, Range 15-W, Section 9, Accession #M04940___.291, Metes and Bounds No, Land Office Milan, Authority April 24, 1820, Sale-Cash Entry (3 Stat.566), Document Number 4240

The brief biography, copied below, was found on his FindAGrave memorial page, created by Larry Boyd and maintained by Emma Sue.

Enoch Cox McClanahan was born in Tennessee on April 18, 1818, to William and Sarah Cox McClanahan.

The family moved to Missouri where, on August 4, 1838, Enoch married Andromache "America" Mills. Together they had ten children. They were married 25 years before America died in 1863.

Enoch then married Mary Melinda Logsdon on November 20, 1864.

Enoch died March 9, 1877. He is buried in Montgomery Cemetery. His stone is one of a very few that was able to be found in the cemetery. It was the more legible of the stones. He is buried next to his granddaughter, Loue.

Census records list Enoch as a farmer. Cemetery records and his tombstone list him as a doctor.

Research Notes prepared by Ken Harvey below:

5 legal sized papers I not sure just what they are. Enoch C. MCCL Deed to William M Gates Plat of Township of Schuyler Co. MO Greeting from the Sheriff of Schuyler Co. Mo. His signature as a Justice of the Peace 1 page from "Histories of . . Dallas . . . . . . .MO" 3 pages Masonic Records 1868 Has been appointed guardian of his children.

It is understood that Enoch Cox McClanahan was born in Jefferson Co., Tennessee. The source for this event location is unknown. If this is correct then William McClanahan (b 1783), listed both in the 1830 and 1832 census indexes of that county, was almost certainly his father.

TN/1830/William McClanahan/Jefferson Co./Microfilm No.180 page No. 91

TN/1832/William McClanahan/Jefferson Co.

William was the only McClanahan listed in Jefferson Co., Tennessee. Unfortunately he was not listed (1996) in the Index to the 1820 census where he would have been expected.

Enoch married Andromache "America" "Mackey" Mills on 4 Aug 1838 in Cooper County, Missouri. Andromache was born on 18 Aug 1816 in Kentucky; died on 6 Oct 1863 in Schuyler County, Missouri; was buried in Greentop Cemetery, Schuyler County, Missouri. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

The I.G.I. records her name as Andromache (America) Mills - from this it is assumed she was commonly called, and known as, America.

She was presumably named after one of the finest drawn female characters in Homer's Iliad, Androm'ache; the wife of Hector.

Carol McClaanahan Mikelson/Robin Haake emailed, in November 2020, that Andromache had a sister, Penelope Mills, another name from Homer's Iliad. She had once been told that John Mills was a sea captain, but has not found confirmation of that fact.
