Hi my name is Calvin Lorenzo McClendon.
I have talk with my parents and I have found out that
I have quite a mix when it comes to my heritage.
My mother, Tonya Marie McClendon (Rogers), was born March 13, 1960
in Boston Ma. is a descendant of Jamaican and African-American
heritage. My Father, Alvin Lorenzo McClendon Sr. born Dec. 9, 195?
in Elberton, Ga. is a descendant of Cherokee (my grandmom) and Canadian
Indians (my granddad), and also is a descendant of African-Americans
who were once slaves on my Great Grandmothers side.
My Great Grandfather, Lovett traveled from Canada across lake
Erie, in the 1920's to Cleveland Ohio. In the late 1920's he moved
to Elberton, Ga., where he met my Great Grandmother Lela. She was
originally from Washington, Ga., but moved to Elberton for a change.
My Great Grandmother had two sons and two daughters: Moses, James,
Mary and Luneal. Moses Dixon McClendon Sr., who was born in
Elberton Ga., September 26, 1934 was my grandfather. He
married Geneva Ann McClendon (Cleveland) my grandmother.
They had five children, my Uncle Shedrick, my Uncle Moses who
we call Grand Moses, my Dad, my Auntie Sophie and my Uncle Marcus
(whose nickname is Danky).
I never got to meet my Grandfather Moses. He died 18 years
before I was born. Even though I never met him I miss him
because my dad misses him a lot. He was a good dad to my daddy.
My dad met my mom, they both were in the US Army in the 70's.
My sister Jami was born January 28 1977 in Cleveland Ohio
and my brother Alvin Jr. was born on October 22, 1983 on
Ft Gordon, Ga. I was born November 23, 1987 on Ft. Benning, Ga.
This is my heritage, and I am proud to be who I am. :o)
Bye Hope you enjoyed my web site!
