She gave birth to a daughter, Blanche Elizabeth Clyburn, on 28 March 1877, a scant seven months prior to the birth of her brother Pink Kelley's twin sons Lewis and Ross Kelley. Additionally, Mary Jane (Kelley) Clyburn would have experienced a lying-in period of up to month after the birth.

Note that in the 1900 census the information provided is that MaryJane (Kelley) Clyburn has given birth to seven children, not eight. That number matches the list of her children above.
The summer of 1906 was a busy time for Capt. Lewis L. Clyburn because he was re-entering politics.

New was received
here yesterday to the effect that Capt. L.L. Clyburn of Kershaw county, after a
retirement of 20 years from politics, had been persuaded to announce his
candidacy for the State senate in opposition to ex-Speaker M. L. Smith. Capt.
Clyburn pleasantly remembered here as the gentleman who took such an interest
in the proper burial of Mr. Boone, the ex-Confederate soldier who died on a
street car during the reunion.

The Campaign in
Kershaw
Two Candidates
for the Senate and
Five for Lower
House—How
They Stand
…There are two
candidates for the State senate, Capt. L.L. Clyburn of Westville and Mr. W. R.
Hough of Camden. Capt. Clyburn has served his county before and thinks he knows
what is best for the people. He is opposed to the dispensary law. He believes
that local option by counties is the best solution of the whiskey question. Mr.
Hough, the other candidate, stands for the dispensary law, and believes that it
is the only solution of the vexatious problem…

Big Tract of Land
is Sold in Kershaw
Eight Thousand
Acres of Land Change Hands
Will Go For Farm
Lands
Special to The
State
Camden, Aug. 30 –One of the largest if not
the very largest land deals ever negotiated in Kershaw county was consummated a
few days ago, when 8,000 acres of land belonging to Capt. L.L. Clyburn of
DeKalb passed into the hands of Lewis Conder of Kershaw and Henry F. Clyburn of
Heath Springs, a son of Capt. Clyburn.
It is the purpose of the purchasers to have
this land surveyed into tracts of 100 acres each, and have it improved and
offer it to prospective settlers or others, who want farm lands…
Capt. Clyburn is the largest land owner in
this section of South Carolina. He has held this tract for so many years, that
it was not publicly known that any of it was for sale, until the transaction
was completed.

Obituary of Lewis Lee Clyburn:
Captain Clyburn
Dead
Was One of The
Most Prominent Citizens of The County
Captain Lewis Lee
Clyburn, one of Kershaw county's most prominent citizens, died at his home near
DeKalb Saturday night, being ill only from Thursday and was buried at Bethany
graveyard Sunday afternoon. The funeral services were conducted from the home
by Rev. Mr Graham, pastor of the Baptist chuch in Camden. Captain Clyburn was
born in Kershaw county April 12, 1840, the youngest son of the late William
Clyburn and at the time of his death was the only surviving child. He fought on
the Confederate side during the whole period of the war serving as first
lieutenant of Company G South Carolina Regiment, Hagood's Brigade, afterwards
attaining the rank of captain. He was wounded in the leg and at home
recuperating when Sherman's army came through South Carolina. Captain Clyburn
was twice married, his first wife being Mary Jane Kelly, and of that union the
following children survive: Thomas B. Clyburn, Steve S. Clyburn, Lewis C.
Clyburn, all of the Westville section and Dr. W. R.Clyburn and Mrs J. H.
Clyburn of Camden. Many years after the death of his first wife he married to
Mary Helen Kirkland who with a young son, James Kirkland Clyburn, also survive
him. Captain Clyburn had been engaged in farming nearly all of his life and was
one of the very largest land owners in the county. He was also engaged in
banking, being one of the organizers or the Loan & Savings Bank of Camden
and its first president. He was for a while one of the larger stockholders in
the Peoples Bank of Kershaw and served as president for a while prior to the
reorganization in 1920, when he declined further service in that position. Some
time prior to his death he retired from active affairs of life and lived in
quietness at his country home. Captain Clyburn had a large family connection
and a wide circle of friends who came from near and far to attend the funeral
in the little country cemetery near the church where he had held his membership
and in the vicinity of which he lived out practically all his life, following
the war period, when he entered again upon civil life as a citizen of his
native county.
