Mrs. Turley:

"... William Riley Clarkson was buried. I have found more on Penelope Bolling Clarkson, his wife and ancestry on both."
I originally posted on this board to find just such information. If you view both my original posting and my reply to your [our?] cousin Von Rothenberger you will see my specific questions.
Since my original post here I have found out a little more about Penelope's mother -- first name: Juliet; birthyear: circa 1793; birthplace: Virginia; and that she was living during the 1850 census with her son-in-law Anderson Young at his home in Mason County, Illinois.
I look forward to hearing from you. Please feel free to contact me directly if you wish to do so.
Sincerely,
Terrance
