Samuel Cleavenger, Jr. married to Comfort GOODWIN, born 14 Jan 1801, in Harrison County, VA, a daughter of John & Elizabeth (Webb) Goodwin; note she was a sister of Elizabeth Goodwin, who married Miner Cleavenger, a brother of Samuel Cleavenger, Jr., as previously discussed.

Comfort died on 14 Jan 1889 (her birthday), presumably in Barbour County, WV, and is buried beside Samuel. The Cleavenger Cemetery is located in Galloway, WV, in Barbour County. This is near where Samuel Cleavenger's wife Margaret brought the family in 1805, when they came from Frederick County, VA. Barbour County was part of Harrison County, VA, at that time (1805); it became a separate county in 1843, being formed from Harrison, Randolph, and Lewis Counties.
