James Earl Clabaugh is my dad.He is in his mid-70's now.He now lives in Indiana.He has family there.As Amanda says,her dad is very vague.Well,it seems that all of the Clabaughs are from that area.His relatives would not tell my mother where he was after he left us four kids back in the early 60's.She didnt want anything from him except a divorce,which they never got.He remarried or shacked up with some woman here in Cut-N-Shoot,Tx.
I dont know much about his side of the family,as it was my mom's side of the the family that I was raised around.
Joe,was his son and there was a daughter named Diana Lyn
Stegleman.They were from a marriage before my mothers marriage.They are step brothers and sister to me and my siblings.I think my sister Cyrena has met them all,but thats all,since they stay so reclusive from the rest of us.But thats ok.I'm not looking for nothing from anybody,since it was my mother who raised us four kids by herself.But to think that someone is looking for there relatives with the last name Clabaugh,I wished I and probably speak for my other two brothers too,that we had a different old man for a dad.James E.Clabaugh Sr.is one of the sorriest people out there.To just up and forget about the four kids he left in Burlington,Ia.,there is no name other than he is a sorry sob.

When I read th suddenly felt sort of sick inside or maybe scared.My Father is James Earl Clabaugh,from Indiana and his brothers were from there as well.My grandparents were from Centerville,last name Cicco,my mothers side since I never knew who my dad was until 1983.He married my mom in the early 50's and left us around 1960.I only knew my moms side of the family and still to this day,dont know any more than that,and for that matter dont really care.My mom did an Excellent job of raising us four kids by herself,and all of us kids have our own families that we are and will stay committed to raing no matter what.My mom passed on in 1986.I have 2 brothers and 1 sister.Jim of Mt.Pleasant,Ia.Cyrena in Florida somewhere and Paul in Burlington,Ia.I live here in Houston,Tx. with my four boys.John,Mike,Jeremy and Matt.Yes,I am still married to my wife.I will give my family what my bastard dad couldnt give me and my mom and siblings.Stability,love,affection,compassion and everything e!
lse that goes with raising a family.When my sister found James in 1983,he was married to another woman,hell he wasnt even divorced from my mom then.She never filed for a divorce for reasons that I'll never know.No telling just how many other people out there are going through what my family went thru.Yes,I still have some animosity towards my dad,but who wouldnt.
