Per the Dorman book "Claiborne of Virginia": he gives Algernon Sidney's parents as Devereaux Jarratt Claiborne of Brunswick Co. Va.(brother of George Ravenscroft Claiborne). But also says Devereaux's son Devereaux Jr. lived 1810-1816 yet D.J.,Sr. AND D.J.,Jr. are on the census in Brunswick Co. 1840 - 1870, while Algernon Sidney Claiborne was with George Ravenscroft Claiborne in Gibson County Tennessee!
Algernon Sidney went to Nashville with George and Thomas, married 1833 Emma Topp in Nashville, moved to Gibson Co. to be with George (he's on the 1840 census there)and died there just before the 1850 census, and his younger brother James Armstrong Claiborne (son of George R. Claiborne) was staying with Sidney's widow and children.
Sounds like close family to me. All the census records for George show a son the right age as Algernon Sidney.
Also - no where on 1820,30, or 40 census does Devereaux J. Claiborne have a son that age!
But George Ravenscroft Claiborne traveled to Warren Co. NC 1810 with brother Thomas B., then they went back to Brunswick Co. VA to settle land and left to Tennessee where they were on the Nashville 1820 census. (Dorman also claims Thomas was mayor of Nashville 1807, when he wasn't even on the census 1810!)
The "Taylors of Tabernacle" books (Haywood Co. Tennessee family who inter-married with Claibornes) gives Devereaux Jarratt as son of George R. Claiborne, but I haven't been able to find a single record of him in Tennessee. Both they and the Dorman book give marriage in Brunswick Co. Va to Marie Nicholas Lewis (and the Lewis family interwoven also)and that's who stayed in Brunswick Co. and died there!
So what happened? Did Devereaux Jarrett Claiborne and George Ravenscroft Claiborne swap sons? Or did Dorman goof?
Does anyone have a record of a Tennessee Devereaux, b. 1805-1810 and where did he go if he didn't die in Gibson Co,?

He also lived in Detroit, Wayne, Michigan and Troy, New York. He had at least two brothers, Theodore and John. He had children with Mary Elizabeth (aka Ducey) who were Geraldine (Geri/Jeannette), Dorothy (Dot) and Otis (Billy). He was born in approx. 1904/1905. John was born in 1910/1911. Theodore was born approx. 1923.
He was in the US WWII Army Enlistment records as Callie Claybourne.
Any information you can give is greatly appreciated.
