Arthur,
Cleron is very much alive and, so far as I know, in good health. I would
have seen him last weekend, if I had been able to go to the Swan Quarter High
School class reunion of the classes of 1952, 1953 and 1954. I heard that he
was there; I did not get there because of an aching back. I got in the car,
drove to southern Maryland, and turned around in agony.
He is descended from the first Carawan (John) in this way [William
Carawan (I) being a son of John Carawan (I)]. Cleron is the grandson of Alvin
Rufus Carawan (below). If you want more on this, let me know.

Does anyone have any information on the lineage of this man? He married
Dorothy Gay Mason and I have found his many children in the Hyde Co. Death
Index, but I can't seem to hook him on to the big tree. Who were his
father and grandfather?
Thanks
