"John A. Clontz was an Elder in the Presbyterian Church, and we believe
records show that each succeeding generation has produced at least one Elder.

John A. and Martha Blair first settled at the old Clontz homestead near where
Goose Creek flows into Rocky River, but later moved to the old Blair home, now
known as the late John E. Haigler place. They had to following children;
Jeremiah, John, Jacob, James, Lynn and Isaac. The girls were: Matilda,
Hettie, Sarah, Josephine and Mollie. All of them are deceased with exception
of Isaac A., who is in his 79th year.

The Clontz family has been represented in every war that the United Sates has
ever fought. Jeremiah and George asnwered when England tried to oppress the
Colonies and some of the family was in both wars with Mexico. When thhe South
called for volunteers in 1861 - James, Jerry, Lynn and Isaac answered and went
with their comrades and stood and fought for what they thought to be right.
And when the call of 1917 came their grandsons; Guy Clontz, the Williams boys,
the McManaway boys, the Helms boys and many others of whom we have no record,
answered and were in the Wolrd War. The Clontz' have not only been patriotic,
but men of courage, patience and perseverance. They have been loyal citizens
and true to every noble cause....The family has inherited a great
reponsibility and a great trust has been handed down from generation to
generation. The family may be likened to a River that flows thru the
desert...its waters giving life and beauty to all."

Rev. Ralph C. Clontz

----- 
Clontz, Isaac A(dam) (I9631)
 
1212 _____

Have tentatively assigned "James Marion" as son of "Jeremiah" for the
following reasons;

(1) Herman James Clontz, Jr., grandson of James Marion, states in a
telephone interview, November 18, 1992, that he could not identify
his great-grandfather, but he is certain that he married a "Byram".

(2) Thelma Clonts identifies the wife of Jeremiah as "Mary L. Byram" and
their marriage occurred, August 11, 1864, per her research.

Will obtain marriage records to ascertain location, witnesses, etc. Although
this is not absolute proof, feel that circumstantial evidence provide enough
to deduct James Marion and his progeny to the main famly tree.

_____ 
Clontz, James Marion (I11788)
 
1213 _____

Mary is listed in the household of her father, John Weddington, in the 1860
Union County Census. Her husband, John, is not listed and presumed dead with
widow, Mary and her children, being supported by her father. Milton Clontz is
born in 1862.

_____ 
Weddington, Mary E(lizabeth) (I11706)
 
1214 _____

No proof that he is son to William, however he does name his first son,
George...DAH

Appears in 1850 Caldwell Co. Census:

"Family 876 Dwelling 875

Clontz, Jacob, 50, M, Laborer"

-----

"On Jacob Clontz' children they were all deaf and dumb attended the deaf and
dumb school in Morganton,NC and Raleigh I understand." Lee Gosnell, August 19,
1992.

------

IGI cites Jacob's birth-year as 1812...

_____ 
Clontz, Jacob George (I9701)
 
1215 _____

Note: His first child was born when he was in his early forties; would suggest
that there may have been an earlier marriage.

John Clonts, Hacienda Heights,CA, wrote that he received a letter from Mark
Garris (address not given) in which Mark states that Munro/Monroe joined the
army (CSA?) and deserted...

_____ 
Clonts, Munro (I8970)
 
1216 _____

Notes Franz Clontz,


1870 Paulding Co. Census, Family 198, Dwelling 198
(Next door to her father, Jacob)

Clontz, Jacob 10 M W Farm Laborer GA
William 6 M W GA
Sarah 3 F W GA
Perinellia 1 F W GA

The above children were living with the following:

Butler, William 22 M W Farm Laborer GA
Mary 32 W F Keeping House GA

_____

Deduction allows us to conclude that:

1. Mary has married three times before 1870.
2. William, Sarah & Perniellia are misidentified with "Clontz" surnames.
3. Don't know who Jacob is. He could have been a Tidwell.
4. Property probably belonged to her father, Jacob, before she married.

_____ 
Clonts, Mary Ellen "Polly" (I9663)
 
1217 _____

She and John first settled in the Cartecay District...John R. Clonts.

_____

Her oldest daughter, Elizabeth, named her first child, "Lourena" and her second child, "John". It is obvious that Elizabeth named her first male child after her father and thus suggests that her mother's forename may have been "Lourena".

Co."B", 18th Regiment. He died at Harrsionburg,VA, on 11 Dec 1862 of desease.
