Joel MCCLENDON was born in 1803 in Henderson Co. (now Webster Co.), Kentucky, to Benjamin F. MCCLENDON and Sarah (surname unknown). He died on 5 Jun 1886 in Dixon, Kentucky. He is buried in Dixon, Kentucky, in McClendon/Chandler Cemetery. He was married ca. 1820 in Kentucky to Sarah "Sallie" FRIER. She was born in Jun 1798. She died on 10 Feb 1875 in Dixon, Kentucky. She is buried in Dixon, Kentucky, in McClendon/Chandler Cemetery. It is possible that Sarah was married to one James MCCLENDON in Christian Co., Kentucky, in 1815, according to Christian Co. marriage records.
