born 19 March 1800 in PA, and died 19 Jan. 1885 in Waynesburg, Stark Co., OH. She first married Gist Clinefelter (or
Jest Klinefelter). He was born
about 1798, and died 30 May 1847 in Sandy Twp., Waynesburg, Stark Co., OH. He was a mayor and justice of the
peace. Their first child was born
in PA, and the others in Stark Co., OH, at least the last 5 in Waynesburg,
Stark Co. Administration of the
estate of Gist Clinefelter was dated 12 June 1847, with a bond lisiting Mariah
Clinefelter, John Greves and James Creighton as administrators.
She married second Conrad Boyer (or
Beyer) on 6 Feb. 1855 in Stark Co., OH, marriage record by E. Buckingham,
minister of the Gospel. He was
born about 1792 in PA. Conrad was
reported to have had two children, but they were probably with a first wife,
rather than with Maria, because of their dates of birth. They were Conrad F. Boyer, b.c. 1838,
and Joseph Boyer, b.c. 1843.
The family was in the 1840, 1850,
1860, 1870, and 1880 censuses for Stark Co., OH. The 1850 census for Osnaburg, Stark Co., OH listed a John
Greaves and wife Sarah with a Martha Clinefelter living with the family. Most of the Clinefelters are buried in
the Reformed Cemetery in Waynesburg, Stark Co., OH. The Clinefelter family was probably of German ancestry and
belonged to the Reformed Lutheran Church.

Austin Wright White
(46) was born 14 Dec. 1861 in Barkeyville, Venango
Co., PA, and died 7 Nov. 1947 in Grove City, Mercer Co., PA. He married Mary Elizabeth Patterson on
14 Sept. 1892 in Grove City, Mercer Co., PA. She was born 23 July 1864 in PA, and died 21 Feb. 1945 in
Grove City, Mercer Co., PA. He was
a carpenter.
ÒWalter (grandson
of Austin and Mary Wright) remembers his grandparentsÕ home on Liberty St. next
door to 620 Liberty St. where Uncle Cec and Aunt
Marie lived, and 620½ where Betty and Chuck Reed live now. It was to the right, if youÕre facing
Uncle CecÕs front door. There was a pear tree behind his grandparentsÕ home that
Walter liked to pick and eat from.
Also Sylvia Mae remembers seeing the black Civil War era captainÕs chair
(of great-grampa Isaac Newton WhiteÕs) at Grampa WhiteÕs house.
It was in a little room off the living room, like an office, and the
chair was at a desk in there.
Walter now has the chair and will be giving it to Dan and Sara
White. On the other side of Uncle CecÕs house was a very large vegetable garden covering the
whole lot, clear to the woods which grew behind all
three lots. Sylvia Mae says that
was their vegetable garden which they grew (Baa & DapaÕs).
Behind Uncle CecÕs house the house which Chuck and Betty Reed live in now, was a gunsmith
shop. ThatÕs where Uncle Cec cut off the Springfield rifle, which Dapa gave to Walter, and Walter gave to Dan White. Grandpa Austin White served in the
National Guard and went against the strikers in western Pennsylvania. He was a marksman. He would have gone into the
Spanish-American War but he withdrew from the Guard before that. Once a biplane ran out of gas and
landed in the field behind the woods (toward Grove City college) (also towards DapaÕs and BaaÕs house where
Walter lived about a block from his Grandpa and Grandma White). Grampa and
Grandma White went to the United Presbyterian Church and he worked at Cooper
Bessemer in Grove City until he retired.
We have a book he owned, Shepherd of the Hills, at Sylvia MaeÕs house,
which is the origin of the Ozarks pageant by that name.Ó (R‑4)
