David Keith Cliborne was researching military history for a book on William Cliborne, his fourth great-grandfather who served in the American Revolutionary War, when he found the name Jonas Clyburn. Jonas served in the War of 1812 with the 86th Regiment, Virginia Militia, and was buried in Westville, La Porte County, Indiana. After conducting further research, the author discovered that Jonas was the father of Archibald Clybourn. Given that Clybourn was one of the three men that founded the city of Chicago, a city the author had grown to love, it was a shocking discovery. He had to know more. Additional research showed that Archibald’s grandfather, Thomas Cliborne, and the author’s fifth great-grandfather, George Cliborne, were brothers in Virginia. Archibald and many of his descendants are buried in the family plot in Rosehill Cemetery & Mausoleum in Chicago. Founded on Chicago’s North Side in 1859, Rosehill is the largest and one of the oldest cemeteries in the city of Chicago. Join the author as he highlights the history of Chicago, one of its founding pioneers, and his family’s rich history and legacy.
