- THE FAMILY OF DAVID LEVI CLODFELTER
David Levi Clodfelter, B. 1834 married Ann Louise Troutman, 1858
Children:
1. William Monroe April 26, 1859 M
2. Thomas Levi Nov. 1, 1861
In 1858, he married Ann Louise Troutman, born November 18, 1837, in Iredell County, North Carolina, daughter of William Miles and Sallie (Miller) Troutman.
On October 13th, 1855, he bought from Anna Holshouser of Iredell County, North Carolina, and Andrew J. Holshouser of Wills County, State of Illinois, IO6V2 acres of land in settlement of their estate, for $372.00; some of that same tract of land is still in the Clodfelter family. My youngest brother, Rahn S. Clodfelter, owns the home place which was built on the same site of the original 1% story old log house. It was in this log house that they started housekeeping; probably built by David, for their two sons were born there.
David (my grandfather) was ten (10) years old when tragedy struck their home, both his father and mother were taken suddenly by death in 1844, from poison some one had put in their coffee, burial in Rowan county. The belief was that it was done by one of the hired hands working on the place at that time; no case for lack of evidence. This broke up their home and the seven (7) children lived with relatives and friends of that community.
David was twenty-one (21) years old when he bought his own land and surely started building his home soon after for he married at the age of twenty-four (24). On the 1st of August, 1862, he was conscripted into the Confederate States Army, Pvt. Co. C. 48th Regiment North Carolina Infantry (State troops). On September 18, 1862, he died from wounds received September 17th, at the battle of Antietam, Sharpsburg, Maryland, age 28 years old. He was buried on that battlefield leaving his widow and two young sons, Monroe, 3 years old and Thomas 10 % months, (my father.)
