November 30 is Father of American Literature birthday Samuel Langhorne Clemens, a grandson of Adair County, KY, was born on this day in 1835 By Mike Watson It might be recollected that November 30, 1835 was a significant day in American history. That was the date of birth of Samuel Langhorn Clemens, grandson of Adair County and, said William Faulkner, the "Father of American Literature." Of course, "Mark Twain's" mother, Jane Lampton, born in Adair County and reared in Columbia, was granddaughter of the immortal Col. William Casey and Jane Montgomery. Jane married John Marshall Clemens here in Adair County, not in or near Lexington as some sources erroneously report.Samuel never visited Adair County as far as can be ascertained, he never spoke or wrote of it, but his mother visited here often. -MIKE WATSON This story was posted on 2011-11-30 10:42:51
