This is my first time to follow up messages on this board. I am very interested
in any "Family Reunions" for the Clinkscales next year. It would be very nice to
be able to plan my travel plans for next summer. I am a granddaughter of Louis
Milton Clinkscales and Alice Spruiell, being born in Alabama, but now live in
Alaska.Just as a notice there are no more siblings of that union living - the
last 2 sisters, Kate Justice and Mildred Galbraith died this past year.

Hello,
Here are four Clinkscales who served in Co."I", "Palmetto Sharp-Shooters", South
Carolina Volunteers(Infantry). I was looking through the book, "The Appomattox
Roster", which is the complete list of all who surrendered with Robert E. Lee at
Appomattox, Court House, Va., in 1865. While searching for my own ancesters in
the "Palmetto Sharp-Shooters", S.C. Vols.(Infantry), C.S.A., and I came across
the four Clinkscales listed, and thought some of you Clinkscales might be
interested. Here they are:Co."I", "Palmetto Sharp-Shooters", S.C. Vols,
C.S.A.;1. 1st Corporal J.F.Clinkscales2. Private B.T. Clinkscales3. Private R.M.
Clinkscales4. Private R.L. ClinkscalesI hope some of y'all found this of some
help or interest.Take care,
Dave
Hi Cary,
Yes I am looking for the family of Esker and Joy Clinkscales. Esker was born in
Colera Alabama and died in Spur, Texas in 1973. Joy's only child my
mother-in-law James Genell died on 16 Dec 1989. My husband and his sister Joy
Rebecca (Becky) live here in Lubbock, Texas. I am sending my new E-mail address
looking forward to hearing from you.
I would like to get with you on your Clinkscales geneology. My husbands
grandfater was Esker C. on of a set of twin boys born in Calera Alabama. He died
in 1973 in Lubbock Tx after having lived in Spur Tx for many years. He has a
sister in Sherman Tx. I am looking forward to hearing from you as this is the
first clue I have found about his family.
I,too, sent you an e-mail, but, as with Cary's attempt, it must not have gone
through either.
If you're talking about Esker and Joy Clinkscales from Spur, TX, then it's the
same Clinkscales family. Esker's brother was Edgar and I think they were born up
near Vicent, AL. They were my grandmother's brothers. I met all of them except
Ethel who died young. I have information about the family if you're interested.
I would like to hear what information you have about Esker and Joy and their
family. You might try my e-mail address to see if it works from your side.

Anyone done any work on William Berry Clinkscales and his descendants who
remained in AL ? My ancestors are Erskine R., Reuben F, Louis Milton, and
William Berry. I am hoping to visit Vincent and Pellsville in the near future
and want to focus on the generation that included Reuben F, Robert Berry, John
Wilkes, Grady Lovell, Lige Turner, Lewis Embry, Hester Kate, Lola Eugenia,
Clarence Minton, Thomas Newton, William "Noot", and Alice Mildred.
Alice was a Spruell. She and Louis are buried in the Macedonia cemetary in Pell
City/Vincent area. Their son Clarence was my grandfather and there are still
several from this clan in that area.
I really can't be of that much help besides the fact that Thomas Newton
CLinkscales was my grandfather. and at the moment I am looking for information
on his family he left in Al. He moved from Al. and became a missionalry in
Brazil. But he passed away about 16 years ago when I was 6. Do you know any of
his relatives? Can you send me some names? My e-mail is:

He was surely the son of L.M. and Alice Clinkscales of Shelby Co., AL. Alice may
have been a Spruell. They had 14 children. The following twelve were listed in
both their obituaries: Reuben F., Robert B., John W.; G. Lovell, Lewis E.,
Clarence M., Thomas N., Wm. Milton, Mrs. H.R. Justice, Mrs. W.C. Bryant, and
Mildred.They lived in the Macedonia Community of Shelby Co., near Vincent. My
great grandfather, Asa Franklin Clinkscales, was one of L.M.'s brothers. You
might read my lead post below on my Clinkscales ancestors. According to my
information other brothers were Jesse and John with sisters Essie, Elizabeth,
and Nancy.
In 1941 we lived briefly in Vincent,AL. Near neighbors were
Raleys; Mrs. Raley's maiden name was Ivy Clinkscales, her brother lived in
Leeds, AL and had 3 children. Ivy C.(Raley)had 5 children, Matilene, Nadine,
Walter, Sarah, Catherine. Does anyone find an Ivy Clinkscales in the records?
They had lived in Shelby Co. all their lives; one girl still lives in
Vincent,AL.
Hi,
I e-mailed you with a reply but it came back.
The family that you posted about is in the Clinkscales book. If you are
interested in further information....e-mail me, as I do not get here often.
Thank you,
