Kathy,
Apparently, my e-mail to you isn't arriving. This is what I have been trying to send to you, and represents everything that I know about the McClendon line. If you can add anything to this I sure would appreciate it.
Happy Holidays!
Jack

Notes for ANGUS MCNEIL SMITH:
When giving census data, Angus reported that he was born in Louisiana. His death certificate reports that he was buried at Bluff Creek on May 12, 1935. I have been unable to locate his grave site. Local funeral homes, Rabenhorst, in particular attempted to help but were unsuccessful. None of the older homes in Baton Rouge have a record of his service in their files. Church records from that period are not available. His death certificate records his profession as farmer.
His youngest daughter, Lillian Smith Roe, related that Angus was a blacksmith and had a shop near the Zachary Crossroads when she was a small child. The Zachary Crossroads are generally considered to be the intersection of Plank Road (La. Hwy 67) and Zachary-Deerford Road (La. Hwy 64) in East Baton Rouge Parish.
According to Lillian, Angus had a twin brother that died at birth. He also had several sisters. One sister, Mary Melissa Smith married Levi Ratliff Chaney April 18, 1858. Melissa and Levi had five (5) children: dau: Jessie Lenora m: Napoleon Bonaparte Calmes, 13 Aug. 1916; dau: Vallie m: Miller; dau. Mae m: Rogillio; dau: Johnnie m: Vine and dau: Lucy, m: Vine. Jessie and Napoleon had at least one daughter, Virginia Calmes m: Lawrence Phillips. Currently reside at 39540 Calmes Road, St. Helena Parish, LA. Tp: 665-6562. Mail is received at Denham Springs, LA 70726. Napoleon Bonaparte Calmes was the son of Napoleon B. Calmes, Sr. He married Julia Virginia Matthews.
East Feliciana Parish (Clinton) Vendee Book B-2, p455-456, dated Nov. 10, 1885, lists a sale to A. M. Smith by Franklin D. Brame of lands "bordered on North by Bluff Creek, East by lands of Mrs. McClendon, South by lands of Vendor and West by lands of A. H. Cline and containing fifty-eight acres...." Vendor Book E-2, p183-184, dated Dec. 21, 1892, lists a sale by Angus M. Smith to Orville H. Cline. This sale was the land bought from Brame in 1885. Book K-2, p236, dated Apr. 4, 1906, records a sale by A. M. Smith to Estelle A. Singletary of lots in Wilson, La.
The 1880 census for East Feliciana Parish shows Angus and Mary with two children, Adda, a daughter aged 2; and Mary, a daughter aged 2 months, having been born in April, 1880. It is possible that the enumerator reversed the children's names and ages and that Mary was aged 2 and "Adda" was Abiah, born in 1880. Mary is probably a child that did not survive to adulthood. The 1900 Census records the family in Zachary Town, East Baton Rouge. That is Supervisor District 6, Enumeration District 38, Sheet 3, page 858. They family consists of Angus, age 43; Mary A., wife, age 40; Abiah P., single son, age 20;
Tullie C., single son, age 17; Emmett B., single son, age 15; Estelle E., single daughter, age 13; Jennie L., single daughter, age 8; and Florence A., single daughter, age 3.
Family members appear in the 1910 census as follows: Angus M., age 53; Mary A., wife, age 51; Florence, daughter, age 13; Lillian, daughter, age 10 and Emmet B., son, age 25. They are in East Baton Rouge Parish, Fifth Ward, Sheet 15, Enumeration District 32, dwelling family 250.
In 1920, the family is still in Ward 5, Richardson Road, East Baton Rouge. The family consists of Angus, a widower aged 62; Florence, single and age 24; Jinnie Hannah, a widowed daughter, age 26 and two grandsons, presumed to be Jinnie's children: Joe Smith, age 10 and Clifton Smith, age 5.
