My late brother in law was a Clampitt. His kin were in early Delaware and
then moved to near Winston Salem, NC in 1789 () or thereabouts. Later to
Indiana and
then to Iowa. His ancestor, buried in Kernersville, NC was Richard who
married
first to Diana Pratt, and second to Masten. I think I have seen the name you
mentioned but have not done much on that Clampitt line recently at all. Some
of
the bunch moved into Louisiana and Texas. I did see a relative of my late
relation
Dick, in a tax list in West Virginia, then part of Virginia. And Govey
Clampitt was
in the War of 1812. There are some newer Clampitt/Clampett lines who came
from
England in the 1900s, some located in Washington, DC. Hope you have success.
Will keep your e-mail on file. Pauline Utzinger, putzinger(a)aol.com.
The name is from Cloam pit, or clay pit. I have found them in England.
Quite a few
were Quakers and are still.
I am looking for info on Anna Clampitt who according to the 1850 Smith
County, TN census was born in VA. She married Thomas Thornton Pendergrass and
some of their children were born in KY. So I am not sure she did not first
come to KY from VA then later she and her husband moved to Smith County, TN.
This is all I have on her.
Thanks,
Charlotte Holleran
