Pendleton, auditor, was found among the papers of Colonel William McCleary and furnished us by Mr. John J. Brown.

History of Cloud County, KS by Holibaugh in which there is a sketch on the life of Simeon Oliver Everly. Simeon Oliver says of his grandfather Simeon Everly:"He was a slaveholder, but to those who desired freedom, it was granted at the age of 21 years. One day he gave an old slave a new suit of clothes and his freedom. The old slave was delighted at his owners generosity, but after wandering around for a few days, he returned glad to forego the franchise granted and spent the remainder of days in the home of his former master. He (Simeon) was a planter, distiller, and horticulturist. The family lived on a public highway."
