From John Graves, [email protected] "Recent
investigation indicates that Senator Claiborne was first married
to Elizabeth Wilson Lewis of Nashville. Following her death, he
married Clarisse Durald of New Orleans. They had two children:
Cornelia Tennessee Claiborne who died in infancy and a son,
William Charles Cole Claiborne Jr. Following Clarisse's death in
a yellow fever epidemic, Senator Claiborne married Suzette
Bosque of New Orleans. They had a son Charles who died unmarried
and daughter Sophronia Claiborne. Some information on the
Senator's namesake follows:
William Charles Cole Claiborne Jr. married Louise de Balathier
who was born in Paris, France. The names of some of their
offspring are listed below:
Clarisse Claiborne - born 1835; died 1901.
William Charles Cole Claiborne III - born 1837; died 1925 - he
married Jeanne Robelot, born 1853 in France and died 1932.
Henry de Balathier Claiborne - born 1838; died 1872.
George Washington Claiborne - born 1840; died 1864.
Arthur Claiborne - born 1841; died 1888.
Senator Claiborne, born in 1775, was one of several children
born to William and Mary Leigh Claiborne. Senator Claiborne's
siblings include General Fedinand Leigh Claiborne, Thomas
Augustine Claiborne, Nathaniel Herbert Claiborne, and Mary Leigh
Claiborne.
Senator Claiborne's relationship to Colonel William Claiborne,
the emigrant and my great
[times 8] grandfather may be traced as follows:
Col. William Claiborne, the emigrant [b. 1600; d. 1776] married
Elizabeth Butler
their son, Lt. Col. Thomas Claiborne [b. 17 Aug 1647; d. 7 Oct
1683] married Sarah Fenn [b. 22 Mar 1659/60; d. 18 Oct 1716].
their son, Capt. Thomas Claiborne [b. 1 Jan 1680/81; d. 1 Aug
1732]married Anne Fox [b. 20 May 1684; d. 4 May 1733].
their son, Col. Nathaniel Claiborne [b. abt. 1716; d. 1 Sep
1756] married Jane Cole
their son William Claiborne [b. unk.; d. 29 Sep 1809] married
Mary Leigh
their son was Sen. William Charles Cole Claiborne [b. 1775; d.
23 Nov 1817]

There are literally hundreds of letters on file and on-line at
the Library of Congress
that were written between President Thomas Jefferson and William
C. C. Claiborne. You may view them by going to
http://www.loc.gov. Click on the "American Memory" section and
conduct a search using "William C. C. Claiborne." Insofar as
Claiborne's penmanship is much better than Jefferson's, you may
want to read these before trying to tackle Jefferson's letters.
And this info comes from the History of Claiborne County,
Tennessee:
"The act to erect a new county from portions of Hawkins and
Grainger Counties in Tennessee
was passed October 29, 1801. It was named Claiborne in honor of
William Charles Cole
Claiborne, one of the first judges of the superior court, and
the first representative in Congress from Tennessee. Claiborne
County lies in the northern portion of East Tennessee, and
borders both the States of Kentucky and Virginia. The famous
Cumberland Gap is situated near the middle of its northern
line."
Claiborne County, Mississippi, also named for William C. C.
Claiborne, is located along the Mississippi River, south of the
Big Black River, in the southwestern section of Mississippi.
The following comes from the History of Claiborne County in
Mississippi: "In the early history, the Mississippi River, the
Big Black (or Chittaloosa as the Indians called it), as well as
Bayou Pierre were all navigable. Many lakes, natural springs,
bayous, creeks, and small branches abounded in the area.
The first white setlement in the area was established in 1729 as
a hunting village near Petit Gulf, just north of Rodney. The
first permament settlement was established in 1775 and by 1795,
settlers were beginning to come in large numbers.
The earliest settlers obtained land grants from the government
which claimed the lands at the time of settlement. The French
claimed this area from the time of La Salle's exploration of the
Mississippi River until 1763. Then the English claimed it by the
Seven Years War Treaty from 1763 until 1781.
During the English rule, the area was called East and West
Florida with Pensacola as the
Capitol. However, Spain also claimed parts of this area as
Natchez had surrendered to Spain
in 1779, and from 1781 until 1798, she claimed all of what is
now Claiborne County as her own and gave many land grants.
The state of Georgia also claimed it as her "western lands" in
1785. The government in
Georgia organized the county of Bourbon and began selling land
to anxious settlers and it was during this time that Nicholas
Long, Thomas Cumming, A. Gordon, Thomas GLASSCOCK"
[another notable cousin!], "and others, bought all the territory
which is now Claiborne County (and other counties) for
$155,000.00.
Claiborne County was formed from the northern section of
Jefferson County, Mississippi
Territory and old Natchez District on 27 Jan 1802. It was named
for the first Republican
governor, William C. C. Claiborne, and was the state's third
county."
Today, a major street in New Orleans is named for William
Claiborne as is a Parish along the western portion of
Louisiana's northern border with Arkansas. His New Orleans
residence has been restored and today this historic structure
serves the nostalgic traveler as a scenic hotel/bed and
breakfast. It is located a few blocks from the French Quarter in
the Lower Garden District. When one considers all William
Claiborne accomplished and that he died at age 42, it makes
one's own life pale by comparison.
My daughter will be enrolling at Tulane next month and I will,
therefore, be frequenting New Orleans. I hope to stay at the
Claiborne Mansion in the near future.
