THE M?CLANAHAN LINE
The mother of Anne Poage Woods was Agnes M?Clanahan, daughter of Robert M?Clanahan, who came with so many others about 1740. His deed to 331 acres is dated May 27, 1741, at Orange Court House; no county enacted until 1738, and no clerk?s office, of Augusta; no ?sufficient number of competent men,? until 1743. Col. John Lewis has him security for a bond August 22, 1748. November 28, 1748, ?was produced in court, Commission to Robert M?Clanahan, Gent. to be Sheriff of this (Augusta) County during his Majesty?s pleasure.? In the French and Indian War, 1755, Gov. Dinwiddie writes him and David Stuart to treat with friendly Cherokees against Shawnees. There were three brothers of Robert: Blair and James who remained in Pennsylvania, and Elijah. Blair became a wealthy merchant; Rev. Saml. M?Lanahan, of Baltimore, is from him. James (who followed the frequent custom of the day in varied spelling, I have seen five in one family deed), M?Clannaghan had a son who married Isabella Craig, of Cecil County, Md.; their son, James, married Elizabeth Boggs; five children; the oldest, J. King McLenahan, Hollidaysburg, Pa., father of E. Johnston M?Lenahan and of Isabella, Mrs. George Brown, who built Brown Memorial, Baltimore, where we have worshipped so often. Elijah had a daughter, Mrs. Jane Holliday, of Winchester, Va. (perhaps greatgrandmother of the governor). He wrote November 25, 1789, about her ?rising family? and to bid her a ?last farewell,? a very old man. Elijah and Alexander McClanahan were on the Court 1781 to try two ?disloyal persons? after the war; Elijah was foreman of the Court which had in it also an uncle, a nephew, a brother-in-law and two others of the family! Elijah was one of the first trustees of the City of Staunton and one of the freeholders demanding in October, 1776, Religious Liberty, equality for ?all religious denominations within the Dominion.?
Robert M?Clanahan and Sarah Breckinridge had eight children: 1. Alexander married Miss Shelton, sister of Patrick Henry?s first wife. He was captain in Bouquet?s Expedition, and at Point Pleasant; as also his brother, John, a lieutenant, who married Margaret Lewis.
3. Robert, Jr., captain, killed at Point Pleasant; two sons moved to Kentucky.
4. William lived in Roanoke County at the ?Big Lick,? where the deer used to come for the salty taste of the rock and clay, beside the Big Spring. It now supplies with its crystal flow the great city of Roanoke, built on the plantation of Wm.?s family, thereby made wealthy. They are all active in Church matters, leaders in good works, especially the good Elder William S. M?Clanahan and his sisters. One of them was the wife of Rev. Dr. Pitzer, another married Rev. Dr. Henry Martyn White, to whose brochure ?the M?Clanahans? I owe much of this account; their son is Rev. Hugh White, of China.
From Wm.?s son, Col. Elijah and his wife, Agatha Lewis, are Rev. Wm. M?C. Miller and his sons, Rev. W. M?C., Jr., and Dr. Houston Miller, missionary to China.
5. Jane married John Boys; her daughter, Kitty, was the mother of Mr. Jos. Addison Waddell, author of ?Annals of Augusta County,? from which much of my definite information about Augusta has been obtained.
6. Mrs. Dean.
7. Agnes married Thomas Poage, was my great-great-grand-mother.
