Individual Details

Alexander married his first cousin, 8 Sep 1829, Surry Co NC, Ann Martha Clingman, daughter of Michael and ____ Kizzee Clingman. They lived in Tennessee and moved to Clark Co AR about 1832-35.

Many descendants of this family made application for enrollment with the Cherokees; they were rejected.
A faded application, much unreadable, was signed by W. H. Olds, and Jas. E. Baker, 20 Aug 1896, in Amity, Clark Co, Arkansas. It lists a granddaughter of Dr. A. B. Clingman, Mary J. Garner, and daughters as Susan E. Howell, Emily A. Hill, and Gracie Grenada Garner.
[Dr. Clingman was a son of Anne P. Poindexter Clingman, daughter of Francis, who was a son of Betty Pledge & Thomas Poindexter]
The Poindexter book, p.370, shows that Mary Jane Robinson Garner was a daughter of Dr. Clingman's daughter Elizabeth who married (1) John B. Robinson; her daughters were Susan who married Elias N. Howell, Emily who married Dennis B. Hill, Gracie who married William Waldrum. Mary Jane also had sons Peter, Arthur, John B. R., Jesse Claude, and Robert Garner; they may also be listed but unreadable.

Another daughter of Dr. Clingman was Jane Poindexter Clingman who married Dr. Alfred Jones. She also applied 14 Aug 1896, Clark Co AR, for herself, her sister Mattie M. Strickland and Mattie's daughter, Amy Strickland. [The Poindexter book says that one source gives Mattie's husband as a "House" but this is obviously not true unless Mattie married a second time]
