Notes |
- ____
Excerpted from Homer Clonts' letter dated, November 23, 1992:
"A little more background on my grandfather, William Presley Clonts:
He moved his family from Georgia to Arkansas after the Civil War, where he apparently practiced law and preached. They also had a ranch in Arkansas.
One of the sons by the earlier marriage (Samuel, I think) promised to take care of all the family's business and sell the ranch. Meanwhile, grandmother moved back to Bluffton, Ala., where she taught school to support her large family. All of the sons in the family became railroad men."

This is wonderful information for me!!! I feel certain that your W. P. Clonts was my Great-Grandfather, William Presley Clonts, b. Feb 5, 1826, in Morgantown (Burke Co.), NC. He died, Sept 21, 1884, in Malvern (Hot Springs Co.), Arkansas. He had 2 wives, 1st Mahalia R. Spriggs and 2nd Mary Elizabeth Frost (my direct line is through her). William had a brother, Michael Asbury. William is listed in the 1860 Floyd County Census with wife, Mahilia. Both William and Michael are listed in the 1864 Census for Reorganizing the Georgia Militia, Coweta County. Each was listed as "exempt" because they were ministers. I have no record of either serving in the Civil War. While researching early marriages in GA, ran across a marriage performed by M. A. Clontz on 11-25-1857 in Gordon Co., GA. A Rev. M. A. Clonts is listed as minister at different churches/times in Grimes Co., TX. In the "History of Whitfield County", Rev. M. A. Clonts is listed as Master of Dalton Lodge No. 105, F. & A.M. 1857. Any information that you have to share would be greatly appreciated.
