> Did the letter name any other children of Ellen Rigney by Benjamin Turner Clement? These are simply cordial letters. F. B. CLEMENT wrote things like "thank you for the pictures," "How are the rest of the family? Give my love to them," and "I was so sorry to hear of Albert's death."
The only items specific to the topic of the children of Ellen RIGNEY and Benjamin Turner CLEMENT in the letters written by F.B. CLEMENT that I have photocopies of are -
"It would interest me if you care to relate the whole story of his life with your grandmother as well as with Sallie Gravelly." "It has always seemed to me that he did the Rigney children an injustice and a wrong in abandoning them without support." 19 Nov 1948
It was news to me that he ever returned there after he first left Va for Texas and also that he had the large number of children by your grandmother" 15 Jan 1949
"The Kodak picture enclosed of Rob, Albert and Ben reveal some similarity of features to my father." 9 March 1950
The only other family members mentioned in the letters to Estelle POWELL from F. B. CLEMENT are Aunt Tavia, Uncle Fletcher, and an Aunt Betsy Goggin
The photocopies of these letters were sent to me by James
A. Davidson, a grandson of Albert Sidney RIGNEY.
Respectfully submitted,
Marna
F. B. CLEMENT
Attorney and Counselor at Law
Nashville, Arkansas
These letters are addressed to:
Mrs. S. C. Powell
Chatham, VA
The letters begin: Dear Estelle
These letters contain details that indicate that indeed
Benjamin Turner CLEMENT did father children by Ellen RIGNEY.
This Benjamin Turner CLEMENT was the son of George
Washington CLEMENT (1786 VA - 1867 VA) and Sarah 'Sally' TURNER (1804 VA - 1889 VA).
The F. B. CLEMENT is Fletcher Blaine CLEMENT (b. 1892 AR),
son of Benjamin Turner CLEMENT and Alice B. Williams (d. 1910 AR).
Estelle POWELL was born Estelle RIGNEY (b. 1906 VA), the
daughter of Albert Sidney RIGNEY (1867 VA - 1949 VA) who was the son of Ellen RIGNEY.
If you have additional information on the families of any
of these people, please do share it with the members of this group. Thank you.
Sincerely,
