My Clinkenbeard Lineage
By Randall S. Treadway

     Welcome to my Clinkenbeard Lineage Page. The Surname of Clinkenbeard has many various spellings. This is a newer line for me as it wasn't until I received my DNA results from Ancestry that it came into play, but I will not go into specifics. I have not been able to find with any certainty where the name Clinkenbeard originated from. Was it a variation of another surname? Did the name come from Norway/Sweeden of which I have a 9% ethnicity of, or Germanic Europe of which I have a 5% ethicity of, or of Nortwestern Europe of which I have an abundance of?. I am starting this page off with John Clinkenbeard until I can work my way back further. You will notice that I have the word tentative after a name. This is due to the fact that I cannot prove their lineage to a certain individual. The basis I use is name and location to others within that certain area. I would like to thank Noreen Sturm and Vicki Porter for all of their help. Thank you all. I believe that all the information below is correct, but if you find any discrepancies, please email me. I hope you find the information helpful to you. Thank you for dropping by. Enjoy.

     Please remember each bit of information found here, or elsewhere, must be researched and proven by weight of evidence, via you, the researcher.


Descendants of John Clinkenbeard


    *John Clinkenbeard was born on 09 Jul 1755, Pennsylvania near Conolloway near the Maryland line (per U.S. Revolutionary Pension papers). According to the Combs family website Conollaway was better known as Tonoloway. Tonoloway is in what is now Fulton Co., Pennsylvania which is just across the state line from Washington Co., Maryland. John was residing in Bourbon Co., Kentucky at the time of his application in 1834. In March 1774 he was recruited as a spy under the orders of Colonel Sevier of North Carolina at the frontier post on the Holstein river. In 1780 John was drafted as a Private for 18 months in the Virginia Militia Minute Men of Berkley County under Capt Josiah Swerengen. His application also states that when he was a boy his father migrated to Berkley Co., Virginia, then to Lucerne Station on the Hostein river for 4 years, then back to Berkley Co., Virginia, then to Knoxville, Tennessee, and finally to Bourbon Co., Kentucky in 1816 where he had been residing. There were also mentions of depositions from his brothers Isaac and William.
