    Denotes Mother's Maiden Name

    Died:
    Wm. McClanahan, Sr., died about 1820,[1819] from amputation of the leg, rendered necessary by disease [likely diabetes] which began in the foot. His wife, the mother of all his children, survived him, and died about 1824. In person she was slender, and in old age suffered from palsy in the head. They both died in the old homestead and were buried in the old burying ground near by. This venerable cemetery was the only one within a radius of sixteen miles, as Mrs. Betsy McClanahan "personally testified to Mrs. Colonel Thomas Lewis, and according to her memory, "the whole hill was covered with graves." Mrs. "Betsy McClanahan" personally testified to Mrs. Blanche White also, that a pine tree had grown up between the head and foot stones of the grave of her father-in law, Colonel Wm. McClanahan. Mrs. White remembers this tree. It was blown down, and a snag of its stump (root) may now (1894) be seen between these stones.

    After the death of Mrs. Wm. McClanahan, Sr., the homestead was inherited by her grandson, Charles McClanahan, who sold it to William, son of James McClanahan, who sold it to Colonel J. R. Richardson, who sold it to Thomas Tosh, who sold it to Elijah McClanahan, son of Green and grandson of William, the senior. He [Elijah] afterwards (1860) bought the Big Spring mill on the place and removed a deed of trust that had long been on it. His widow, Emma S. McClanahan, bought it at the sale, and sold it to a land company in 1889.
