Welcome

This site is devoted to the research of the name Clendinen in ALL of it's variant spellings regardless of country of origin or religious affiliation. The information you will find here comes from various source records.

The various spellings of the name are numerous but include Clendinen, Clendenin, Clendenon, Clendinnen, Clendennin, Clendennon, Clendining, Clendinning, Clendening, Clendenning, Clindining, and Clindinning. In Scotland the name is generally spelled Glendinning, but records include spellings such as Glendining, Glendonning, Glendoning and Glendonwyn. Glendonwyn is a location in Scotland and is generally considered to be the original spelling.

The origin of the name is thought to be Scotland but the Glendinning families lived in England and Ireland as well. Their descendants migrated to Canada, America and Australia among other places. The name Glendinning has been associated with some of the great (and royal) families of Scotland, ie., Douglas, Maxwell, Gordon, Lindsay, Stewart and Bruce.

You will also find information which was extracted from the Scots General Record Office (parish records containing marriages and births primarily) as well as sasine (hereditary land transfers) records from Dumfriesshire and Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland.


If you have located a biography sketch from a county history book, please submit it and I will put it on the website. Be sure to include the complete title of the book, author and/or publishers, date and place of publication, and the page numbers.

Descendants of James Glendinning and Agnes Little: This is a very nicely done website on the descendants of James and Agnes (Little) married at Westerkirk, Dumfries, SCT in 1701.
