McClanahan Notes from FTDNA:
NOTES ON VIRGINIA BAPTISTS, 1772, by Morgan Edwards.
Mr. William McClanahan, born February 23, 1733 in Westmoreland County, Virginia. Bred a churchman. Embraced the sentiments of Baptists. Baptized in 1768 by Samuel Harris. His convictions were without means (?? MLM), and very strong. Moved to pray when he heard singing. Ordained. Married Mary Marshall. Children: Thos., William (see ante Rev. William?s will), Peter, Elvira, Ann, Mary, Alice.
He was in gaol in Orange County: Warrant for his arrest ?
Whereas we have received information that Nathaniel Saunders and William McClanahan, stiling (sic) themselves Protestant Divinities, does teach and Preach contrary to the laws and usages of the Kingdom of Great Britain, raising sedition and stirring up strife among his Majesties? Liege people.
Therefore in his Majesties name we require your Samuel Ferguson and John Lillard to take Nathaniel Saunders and William McClanahan and bring before some Justice of the Peace and there allowed to be examined touching the charges, and we condemn all his majesties subject to be aiding and abetting in the said execution thereof.
Given under our hands and seals this 21st day of August 1773 to the Sheriff of Orange, Constable??..) Signed: John Slaughter
And to Samuel Ferguson) George M. Weatherall
NO LICENSE (Document is quite faded, MLM)
NORTHERN NECK HISTORICAL MAGAZINE, Dec. 1951, pub. At Montrose, Westmoreland County, Virginia, pg. 16:??Previous to this, and indeed as early as 1771, William McClanahan was going about through the wilderness very much in the manner of John the Baptist and preaching the Gospel of Salvation by baptism. Northumberland can justly claim William McClanahan as her own, for the family is registered and referred to in the St. Stephens Parish Records?? (see ante, pg. 134).
Mr. Woodford B. Hackley, Va. Baptish Church historian: ?He was pastor of the original Upper Carter?s Run Church, Fauquier County. The earliest remaining records were kept by storekeeper Peter Hitt, treasurer of the church. At one time he paid William McClanahan money for expenses to go to the Association. He (William) was a magistrate, probably a J.P. in Culpepper (now Rappahannock) County, and the church was called Upper Carter?s Run Church. He acknowledged many deeds in that section of the county.
The Baptist Church at Jeffersonton, Culpepper County, was founded in Fauquier County ca. 1773. That structure lasted until 1819, and was just over the Rappahannock River, the part then called Hedgeman?s River, so it was called Hedgemen?s River Church.
The Baptist church called Mt. Poney (now Culpepper Church) was founded in 1774 from Mountain Run Church in Orange County, and was at least sixteen or seventeen miles from Jeffersonton, at least two miles beyond the town of Culpepper on the road to Stevensburg.? (Nathaniel Saunders was its first pastor ? for many years). ?I joined it in 1905, the Hedgeman?s River Church ca. six miles from Jeffersonton in Fauquier.?
From the Religious Herald: The first Baptist Church in Culpepper was in (now) Rappahannock County near Mulkey or Mulky Mountain ca. one mile from present Washington ? ?the first Washington? the natives call it, on land given by Thomas McClanahan. The church lasted but two years.
Part of the members of the original Carter?s Run Church seem to have gone to Battle Run Church; the others into Fauquier County to found Fiery Run Baptist Church.
With the rapidly growing indignation of the colonists toward their second class citizenship ? with Parliament at the behest of the English merchants passing laws severely restricting their trades and manufactures and ?hard money,? Rev. William McClanahan, as Captain of his fellow Baptists in a company of Minute Men, regularly preached to them (Notes of Culpepper, ante), the Major was Thomas Marshall, son John a Lieutenant, later becoming Chief Justice of the U.S.A. Only John Peter Muhlenburg, a neighbor, joined Rev. McClanahan as a religious leader in the field at the request of Congress ? Reverend Muhlenburg becoming a general in the Continental Army.
Mr. Raleigh Travers Green in his Notes on Culpepper County, adding to Dr. Slaughter?s St. mark?s Parish data, stated that the Baptists were among the most strenuous supporters of liberty, and that the Culpepper-Fauquier Battalion wore green hunting shirts with ?Liberty or Death? inscribed on their shirt fronts. He added that John Pickett was Pastor of Mt. Poney Church until 1790 ? its constituents were from Carter?s Run, Fauquier County. The name was changed to Culpepper 29 April 1873.
Confined to jail in Culpepper County for their faith: Rev?s. John Pickett; Elijah Craig, taken while at his plow; the worst punishment was received by James Ireland of Edensburg, baptized by Samuel Harris in 1769-?70. He suffered from abuses, the weather, poisoning, gunpowder, suffocation, etc. ? about a hundred instances. Several other preachers were mentioned by Green, in punishments.
?Tho records are lost, Captain McClanahan must have kept up his membership at Carter?s Run. It was closer ? he was an original member. After the Revolution he lived on the upper part of Indian Run. I grew up on the lower part of the stream, but I know that part of the country pretty well. The last land he sold was not far from Battle Mountain, sort of betwixt and between Viewtown and Amissville. Thomas Corbin patented the land on which he lived.?

Fauquier Co. Mg. Bk. #1, pg. 411, July 15, 1793: William McClanahan, Culpepper: ?I do hereby certify I am willing that Peggy Berden (Bender?) alias Timber, a free colored mulatto who was bound to me, should intermarry with James Nickins, both of whom are people of color.?
Excerpt, Pension application of Samuel Burke, wife Mary, of Jessamine County, KY, aged 73 years: ??I entered the service of Captain William McClanahan of Culpepper County, VA?.marched to Williamsburg, then returned home. I volunteered to stay, so I enlisted in the company of Capt. Abraham Buford, unit #7. In the company of McClanahan and Buford we marched from Williamsburg to the Long Bridge and fought the enemy?marched to Norfolk. The Col. Was Stephen. The Major was Thos. Martin?marched from Norfolk to Suffolk?thence to Portsmouth under Major Scott. From Portsmouth to Culpepper and was discharged in 1777, etc., etc.

Notes:

Robert McClanahan came to Augusta County from Ireland. The time of his coming has not been certainly determined, but it was at an early day. His deed to three hundred and thirty-one acres of land by William Beverly, dated May 27, 1741, is on record in Orange Courthouse, Virginia. There was no clerk's office, in Augusta County, until 1745. His wife, Sarah Breckinridge, was daughter of Alexander Breckinridge,
who came to America from the North of Ireland in 1728, and removed from Pennsylvania to a farm near the present site of Staunton, in Augusta County, Virginia. Robert McClanahan died in 1791, at his home, one mile south of Staunton, on what is known now as the Greenville road. He was, therefore, "the emigrant and founder." His children were Alexander, John, Robert and William (sons); with Mrs. St. Clair, Mrs. Dean, Mrs. Poage and Mrs. Keiser (daughters). It is a little doubtful whether Mrs. Poage was daughter or granddaughter of Robert, the first ; but the evidence for the former is very strong.
Mr. Frederick Johnston, in his " Memorials of Virginia Clerks" (page 52), says that "Robert McClanahan, throughout his whole life, was' a prominent man," From, the "Annals of Augusta County," by Waddell, we learn that he acted in
various public capacities during his life.
Quoting from the records of the county, Waddell writes as follows: "August 22, 1748, it appears that John Lewis had contracted to erect the public buildings of the parish for ^148.
* * * From a bond executed by Colonel Lewis, with Robert McClanahan as security,
* * * it appears that one of the buildings was a dwelling house for the parish minister."
* * * "November 28, 1749, a commission to Robert McCknahan, gent., to be sheriff of this county during his majesty's pleasure, was produced in court," etc. Adam Breckinridge, son of Alexander Breckinridge, who was founder of the distinguished family of that name in this county, and brother-in-law of McClanahan, "qualified as deputy sheriff." ? Annals, page 41.

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.
