Notes:
In the 1881 Ray County History Book is the following article I think it adds to the research:
John Cleavenger was born in the state of Virginia, July 2 1798. He is the son of Richard and Sarah (Wood) Cleavenger. His father was a native of New Jersey, and his mother of Shenandoah County,Virginia. His parents removed to Cocke County Tenn. when he was a small boy, and there he grew up, working on his father's farm until 1819, when he left Tenn. and cmae to Missouri. Mr Cleavenger was one of a party who made the trip by river, in a keel-boat which they constructed themselves in Tenn. before leaving. When they reached the mouth of Fishing River, while ascending the Missouri, the steered their boat into the smaller river, and after ascending in about six miles landed and settling there made their homes henceforth in this county. All kinds of game was abundant and their chief occupation at first was hunting, but in a few years they cleared the land, improved farms, and settled down to a quiet life of farming. Mr Cleavenger was first married in 1817 to Elizabeth Hensley, of Virginia. The issue of this marriage was one child. Mary, born Sept 8, 1819. Mrs Cleavenger soon afer died and he married again in 1823 to Miss Margaret Wills, daughter of James Wills an early settler of Ray Co. Mo. She was born in Rutherford Co Tenn. Jan 1 1801. They became the parents of eleven children, four of whom are now living. Lily A, born Feb 1828, Sarah born Mar 5, 1831, Margaret Born June 21 1833, Richard born Oct 23 1836. From 1830-1832, Mr Cleavenger was Sheriff of Ray Co Mo and in 1856 was elected to represent the county in the general assembly. The duties of this office he discharged with credit to himself and to the satisfaction of the people.He has been a member of the Old School Baptist Church for more than sixty years. His wife is a Presbyterian. He is one of the oldest and most highly respected citizens of Ray County Missouri.
I have a complete copy of the Ray County 1840 & 1850 Census and their are lots of Cleavenger family there. I am trying to sort them all out. If you would like a copy of this article I would be glad to mail it to you. If you would contact me by e-mail and send a self addressed stamped envelope .Thanks to all of you who post items to share with us all.

Notes:
I do not know for certain that the James Wills who is the father of my James B Wills is the James who married Lillian BUT my grandmother told me that the B stood for Buchanan.
Moved to Montgomery Co. Va. in 1773. Served in the Rev. War toward the end. Moved to Davidson Co. TN along with several of the Buchanans in 1783.
James and Lillian Buchanan Wills and James B's siblings...plus some of the Shackelfords went to Missouri in 1820.
One researcher on this line who is now deceased thought that he was probably an orphan who came with the Buchanans to Va., because they came from Chester Co. Penn. also.
From Ireland?
Lived with David Wills in 1840.
Lived with John Clevenger in 1850.
On August 10, 1803 James Wills signed a petition favoring forming Rutherford Co. from Davidson Co. and Williamson Co.
