Welcome
This site is devoted to the
research of the name Clendinen in ALL of it's variant
spellings regardless of country of origin or religious
affiliation. The information you will find here comes from
various source records.
The various spellings of the
name are numerous but include Clendinen, Clendenin,
Clendenon, Clendinnen, Clendennin, Clendennon, Clendining,
Clendinning, Clendening, Clendenning, Clindining, and
Clindinning. In Scotland the name is generally spelled
Glendinning, but records include spellings such as
Glendining, Glendonning, Glendoning and Glendonwyn.
Glendonwyn is a location in Scotland and is generally
considered to be the original spelling.
The origin of the name is
thought to be Scotland but the Glendinning families lived in
England and Ireland as well. Their descendants migrated to
Canada, America and Australia among other places. The name
Glendinning has been associated with some of the great (and
royal) families of Scotland, ie., Douglas, Maxwell, Gordon,
Lindsay, Stewart and Bruce.
You will also find
information which was extracted from the Scots General
Record Office (parish records containing marriages and
births primarily) as well as sasine (hereditary land
transfers) records from Dumfriesshire and
Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland.
If you have located a biography sketch from a county history
book, please submit it and I will put it on the website. Be
sure to include the complete title of the book, author
and/or publishers, date and place of publication, and the
page numbers.
