Individual Details

Other than the Goodspeed article which states Nancy's mother to be the widow of a Revolutionary soldier, nothing else has been found. It's possible she was widowed with several small daughters and Richard Morton was their guardian. He married one of the daughters and signed the marriage bond for two others.

Daniel Noland & Henrietta Smallwood had several sons, born in Charles Co, MD in the 1740's & 50's. The family moved to Loudown Co VA and the sons served in the Revolution from there. They later moved to Rowan Co NC and then on to Madison Co, KY, an area which became Estill Co. James, Jesse, & Ledstone Noland all served, applying for their pensions. A son Stephen, died in Rowan Co ca 1791. Some databases also list a son Daniel but without any additional information ...could he have been Clarinda's missing spouse?

An 1800 Tax List for Madison Co KY - lists a Sarah Noland - many have tried to make her into Sarah Clarinda but I find NOTHING that suggests that. No record ever gives her any name other than Clarinda.

1810 Madison County KY Census:
Clarinda f over 45 1 m under 10; 1 f under 10; 1 f 10-16; 1 f 16-26 (Notes: both Sally and Mary married before 1810; Jane would be between 16-26; Nancy probably between 10-16; there is an extra female under 10 as well as the boy under 10)

2 Nov 1816. Gave a gift of deed to grandchildren: Thomas, James, & Jefferson HARPER (children of Sally) and Betsy Green NOLAND and Polly NOLAND. If the child under 10 in 1810 census, was a son, he could not be the father of Betsy Green or Polly - there would have been an older son. These gifts were not to be given until her death which did not occur for many, many years.

1830 Madison County KY Census - probably older female shown living with Nancy Winkley (sic).
Clarinda is shown in the 1850 Schuyler County MO as living with Nancy Winkler; she is age 110 (?), born in Maryland. Listed as blind and a pauper. Have seen another transcript which gave her age as 40. I think she's probably about 90. Viewing the film was inconclusive- very difficult to decipher.
