Biographical Note

Samuel Langhorne Clemens was born November 30, 1835 in Florida, Missouri, and died April 21, 1910 in Redding, Connecticut. He married Olivia Langdon in 1870 and they had four children: Langdon, Olivia Susan ("Suzy"), Clara, and Jane ("Jean"). Additional biographical information is readily available; however, some further genealogical information is helpful in explaining the inclusion of the Clemens material in the McKinney Family Papers:

Clemens' parents were John Marshall Clemens and Jane Lampton Clemens. Their children were Samuel, Orion (1825-1897), Pamela (1827-1904), Pleasant (1828-1829), Margaret (1830-1839), Benjamin (1832-1842) and Henry (1838-1858). SLC's sister Pamela married William Anderson Moffett, and they had a daughter Annie. Annie Moffet married Charles Webster, and one of their children was Alice Jane Webster. While at boarding school, Alice Jane changed her name to Jean and continued to use the name Jean Webster for the rest of her professional life. However, after marrying Glenn Ford McKinney, she was also known as Jean Webster McKinney.
