Every little scrap of information I have for the Lawrence Co TN McClendons is at this blog. I will add this fact. Do you have a copy of the marriage bond, or did you find this out from an index? I’d love a scanned copy of your source, whatever it is.

I am thrilled to hear from you. This is the first connection to the Lawrence County, Tennessee, McClendons I have ever received. My ancestor, Frances McClendon, was born in North Carolina, and resided with her husband, Alsey Pulliam, in Tennessee, Illinois, Missouri, and, after his death, in Texas, where she died. I am speculating that she was a daughter of either Bryan/Bryant or Nathan McClendon, since they were in the same county where Frances’s daughter, Luvina/Leatha Merrick Pulliam, was married in 1827.
Frances (McClendon) Pulliam died in Collin Co TX.

We have not been able to find proof of his place of birth, but believe it was North Carolina. His son, Nathan was my Great-great grandfather. His son, John Wesley McClendon was born in Pulaski, Tenn. and married Frances Matilda Gower. They moved to Texas with several families of their Gower/McClendon kin and settled in Bell County near the Lampasas River. Many of their descendents still remain in the area. I would love to know where they originated. Family lore has always maintained that the McClendons were Scots and the Gowers were English or Irish. My ancestor, Nicholas Gower was a Methodist minister near Pulaski and is buried there. Would love to correspond by e-mail. Gago442@aol.com. Sincerely, Zoanna Curry
