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.
