In 1847 Thomas Edgeworth Courtenay married Mildred Ann Clendenin. Mildred Ann Clendenin was born in Louisville, Kentucky, on July 3, 1827. Her father's people, the Clendenins, were from Harford Co., Maryland, although originally from Scotland, by way of Pennsylvania. Her mother's family were the Peays from Virginia. Her uncle, Austin Peay, married Peachy Speed, of a famous Louisville family. Joshua Speed was in President Lincoln's cabinet.
Mildred's (or Minnie, as she was known) father was a merchant in Louisville. Drawn by the prospect of new opportunities in the west, he moved to St. Louis. Before he finally settled there he took Minnie with him on a visit to St. Louis. There she met a dashing young Irishman, Thomas Courtenay, and they were married. Since her father had already sold his home in Louisville, she was married at the home of her uncle and aunt, Austin and Peachy Peay. Their home was called "Farmington." It has been restored by the Kentucky Historical Association, and may been seen probably looking much as it did when Mildred and Thomas Courtenay were married there.
When the War Between the States came, Thomas had a thriving business in St. Louis, and was well established in a pleasant home. Naturally his sympathy was with the Confederacy. He enlisted in the Confederate army and received the rank of Captain. His family, consisting of his wife, a son Austin, and daughter Ellen (Nellie) moved to Harford county, Maryland, to live in the home of Henry Watters(Findagrave memorial 131513851), a great-uncle of my father's mother.
