Hi "shirt-tail" cousins- My Claggett concetion is to a branch of the
Maryland family that went west and were in the mining business, now several
families live in the far West. One of their members came East to Cornell
Univ. in the 1930s for some strange reason and in the registration line met
and soon married a Lefler cousin of mine(Dorothy). She was a daughter of
Matte(Martha) Oakley who was a daughter of Ida Minerva Lefler Oakley of
Daggett,Pa.(Martha graduated from Mansfield,Pa, University in the 1890s).

Hello Jan...
I am a Clagett descendant. It seems that most members of the family spelled
their name with 2 g's and 2 t's when they first arrived in America in the
1600s. By the late 1600s to early 1700s the spelling, in Maryland, changed to
it's present form of Clagett.
As members of the family started migrating across America the spelling of the
name changed again.

Hi,
I live in a stone house built by the Claggetts in 1762. I've done exten sive
research on the house and family and found that the spelling would change in
the same document, in this case, a will. This inconsistency in spellling was
not uncommon but it sure makes research a bit more challenging.

In my own Clagett family I have found all three of the following spellings:
CLAGGETT; CLAGGET; and CLAGETT.
In the 15th Century the spelling most often used was CLAGGETT when the family
lived at Claygate Castle in West Malling, Kent, England.
My original immigrant spelled his name as "Thomas Claggett", grandson of
George Claggett of Claygate Castle, West Malling, Kent, England. Thomas was born
in England in 1644 and died in 1703 at "Clagett's Design," Calvert Co., MD.
His son, my direct ancestor, spelled his name as follows: "Richard Clagett",
born in 1681 in Calvert Co., MD, and died in 1752 in Prince George's Co., MD.
Over the years I have seen the name "Clagett's Design" spelled with all three
variants of the name: CLAGGETT; CLAGGET; and CLAGETT. I have even come
across Clagett brothers that spelled their surnames differently.
Sincerely; Rich Faber...
