Clendenen Famiily

When I was searching my papers for these records I came across copies of a notebook sent to me by my cousin, kept by Herbert Alton Lee of Dowagiac with 16 pages of family names, dates and notes.

MARY ANN CLENDENEN'S BIBLE RECORDS:

Robert A. Clendenen was born November the 8th, 1802
Amanda Hinchman was born April the 1st, 1809
Mary Ann Clendenen was born April the 24th, 1829
Oscar F. Clendenen was born December the 20th, 1829
William  
Van B. Clendenen was born Febry the 9th, 1835
John F. Clendenen was born April the 11th, 1837
David K. Clendenen was born September the 4th, 1839
David K. Clendenen died Feb. 27th, 1841
Andrew I. Clendenen was born Dec. 21, 1841
George W. Clendenen was born December 4th, 1844
Martha Ann Clendenen was born April 16, 1847
Sarah Jane Clendenen was born May the 4th, 1849
Elizabeth Hinchman Decd the 5th July, 1832
Harriet Clendenen was born February 28, 1839  Nie Harriet Swisher
Susan Hinghman, Wife of Hiram Hinchman, died January 17th, 1887, Aged 77 ys  11 mo., 30 days.
Amanda Clendenen, Wife of Robert Clendenen Died Sep. 7th at 6 o'clock P.M. 1886. Aged 77 yrs, 5 mo. 5 days.

Notes: This Bible is currently in the possession of Lyman Bybee, of Niles, MI. Lyman notes that the publication date of the Bible was 1829, the year Oscar Clendenen was born and the inside front cover of the Bible has the words "Oscar F. Clendenen Bible". The back pages of the Bible has the words "Mary Ann Clendenen's Bible 1851".  We believe that this Bible must have been given to Mary Ann Clendenen by Oscar shortly before she died in Sept.1851.  The majority of the names and dates appear in the back pages of the Bible.  All of the references I have seen for these Bible Records refer to them as "Mary Ann Clendenen's Bible Records".

The date for William I. Clendenen, which was not filled in, is b. 11 July 1832

From my research so far, the name Susan Hinghman  must be a misspelling, and they must have meant Susan Hinchman.  I have seen gedcoms listing the wife of Hiram Hinchman as Susanna Riggins, who died in Berrien Co. MI. but have not researched it, so I am not sure.
