Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Descendants of the Clingman Family
During the past few years I have been trying to complete a list of our branch of the above family name, and have located quite a number of descendants belonging to our branch, whioh is traced bach to. My great grand-father Peter Klingman, (l752-l848) who lived most his life in Union County Pennsylvania. He married Margaret Englehart, their children being: Jacob, Magdelena, Peter, George, John, Danieh, (my grand-father) Michael, Samuel and Elizabeth. Samuel and family moved to Lake County Illinois about 1844 and in 1846 my father Samuel moved to the same County and as his uncle had changed to the English form of spelling, viz: Clingman my father dld likewise. I have listed most of the families of grand-father brothers and sisters, but am not certain about his brother Peters'folks and have none of his brother Georges, who is said to have moved to Ohio and had quite a family. I have also quite a list of descendants of John Michael Clingman, (1734-1816f) who was a Captain in the Revolutionary War. And a Alexander Klingeman, whose grand-son Thomas Lanier Clingman was a u.s Senator from.north Oarolina in 1860. Another branch starts with Cornelius Klingman whose descendants are in Indiana and west. Among other records is George Klingaman died 1820) wifes name Catherine (1747-1834), their son Georg 778-1856)married Catherine Hostetler, some of their descendants are in California There are several other families whose names have not been traced into any of the above branches, and we have not yet learned the relationship of our branch-if any-to the others.
