Notes

Thomas Rankin and wife Isabel/Isabella Clendenin, were my 5X Great Grandparent's.

I understand there is a tablet dedicated to a number of Rankin's at this Cemetery. Here's a link to the tablet (copy and paste link to browser):

I see discrepancies in the date of death for Thomas. I did find an inventory for the deceased Thomas Rankin showing a date of October 2, 1810.

I have an autobiography by an ancestor, indicating Thomas Rankin lived to 104 years. That autobiography was written in the 1890s. I suspect the writer may have found a date for a different Thomas Rankin who did die in 1832.
