Descendants living there today
This family moved to Ellis
County, Texas. Your compiler after
much correspondence located one granddaughter of this couple, Mrs. G. B.
Kirkpatrick of Grandview, Ellis County, Texas.
In a letter she mentions two cousins, Mrs. S. O. Witten and Mrs. T. M.
Kirkpatrick, also of Grandview. They
are descendants of Caroline and Jesse Clardy.
I was unable to get any more information.
In Texas this family spells the name Claridy.
