Descendants & Extended Branches
The family continues past Barklee’s generation. Clarence Jr.’s obituary names ten children and nine grandchildren, and the Chicago Sanders research adds his siblings and their children. Where the records don’t establish a link — a grandchild’s parent, a sibling’s mother — the card says so and no link is drawn.
Children of Catherine & Clarence
Ten children named in Clarence Douglass Sanders Jr.’s obituary (Wright-Beard Funeral Home, Cortland, NY). The notice does not distinguish biological, adopted, or step relationships; its ordering is not treated as birth order, and surnames are unconfirmed for eight of the ten.

Grandchildren
Nine grandchildren named in the same obituary. Which of the ten children is each grandchild’s parent is not established — so no parent links are drawn. If records ever identify them, these cards will say so.

Siblings & the Chicago Branch
Mildred is named as Clarence Jr.’s sister in his 2025 obituary; she is tentatively placed with their mother Gloria, and that maternal assignment is inference, not a record. Lance, Vanessa, and Norbert are the documented children of Clarence Sanders Sr. and Lucile Sanders of Chicago (DeGalynn Sanders obituary, 2016) — but whether that Clarence Sr. is Jr.’s father remains unproven, so any sibling link to Jr. is conditional on the identity match.
