I think you might be confusing married and maiden names among the Clardys Gillilands.
Elzira Gilliland (b. ca. 1836 in Alabama but moved with family to Henderson/Van Zandt Texas in late 40s,) daughter of William (b. 1801 Kentucky) and Frances (Bridges b. 1801 NC) Gilliland, had a sister named Mary Ellen who married Robert H. Clardy in Van Zandt County in 1858.
M.E. Clardy might be Elzira's sister Mary Ellen Gilliland Clardy.Another sibling in the Gilliland family was James C (my direct ancestor,) who married another(!) Clardy, Mahala in 1853 in Van Zandy County. I aminterested in Mahala's parents. What is your source for William B Clardy as her father?
Most of my info comes from Van Zandt County web page or genforum postings.
