This is the third in the series of articles profiling the four families in the initial Y-chromosome DNA study. The first article was on William Claiborne of Virginia (1600-1676/9), the second, John Clyborn of old Henrico Co, VA (1650/1655-1685).
Dr. CHRISTOPHER JAMES CLEBORNE (1838-1909)
Direct Descent from Cliburn, Westmorland
Dr. Christopher James Cleborne was born 16 December 1838 in Edinburgh, Scotland to Christopher and Jane Reily Cleburne of Ireland. He died in 1909. His wife was Jane Elizabeth Emma Parker of Philadelphia. They were married 8 May 1861. She died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. H.B. Glover of Atlanta. Her obituary was published in the Atlanta Journal on 24 September 1910.
Dr. C. J. Cleborne graduated the University of Pennsylvania 1860. He was appointed Asst. Surgeon, U.S.N., May 1861; promoted past Assist. Surgeon, October 26, 1863; Surgeon, November 24, 1863; Medical Inspector, January 7,1878; Medical Director, September 18, 1887; retired with rank of Rear Admiral, November 10, 1899; Director Naval Hospital, Norfolk, Virginia (1888-1891 and 1894-1899), of Chelsea, Massachusetts (1891-1894), and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (January-November 1899). [See Who Was Who in America, 1897-1924, p. 229] Dr. Cleborne's first cousin was Confederate General Patrick Ronayne Cleborne of Civil War fame- ironic that the cousins were on opposite sides. Both men must have had considerable leadership qualities.
The Claiborne Society was fortunate to have found a direct male descendant of Dr. Cleborne who was willing to donate his DNA for the study. Below is a simple summary by generation of the direct line back to Cliburn, Westmorland, England. The John Clyborn/Cliborn line of old Henrico branched from this line sometime before generation 18. Generation 29, the donor, his father and grandfather, will remain anonymous to protect their privacy.
