Seeking any information concerning this daughter of William and Frances
(Carter) Clanton. Other children were: Susanna, George, Dudley, Dorothy,
Abraham and Edward. Edy never married but had one son, John Clanton, by a
man named John Lamont. She is listed in the 1790 and 1800 Warren Co., NC
census. In Jan. 1800 Edy gave all of her possessions to her son John. No
other record of them has been found. Could this child have gone to
Tennessee with her brother George?
Thank you,
Renee Schaeffer
In a message recently from EE Sanders to me, he noted that Charlotte Clanton
the older sister of my g.grandmother Elizabeth Clanton, left instructions
that when she died that no male undertaker was to look at or see her body
when she died. So one of the granddaughters prepared her for the funeral.
My grandmother who died in 1991, had left instructions with my mother(her
daughter) that no one was to see her, or to embalm her. and my mother carried
out her wishes.
Also this comes from South -Central -Kentucky(a)rootsweb.com and since it
mentions the Murrell name I wanted you to see it.
ADAIR CO#2 These are taken from "Death Records of Adair County, Kentucky and
Russell, Casey, Green, Cumberland & Taylor Counties Prior to 1900" by Michael
C. Watson of Columbia, KY.
I am not going to print out every notation, but only on the Murrell parts.
Oct. 1866 J. MURRELL - shrouding for Albert LEE
Oct. 1867 J.D. MURRELL - coffin for FRANCES, of color
Oct. 1868 S H MURRELL - Coffin for old negro woman, DOLLY. Note: Murrell was
from Barren Co.- some of the family moved to Adair.

Hi everyone!
I have not posted the CLANTON part of the information, but have done some
updating to my webpage. <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/susang559/index.htm"
>Susan Groover's Webpage---Are you SURE you ar...</A> is the hypertext for
the webpage or the address is http://members.aol.com/SusanG559/
Please take a look and let me know if you like the format for our project.
There is alot more that can be done such as adding photocopies of documents
and pictures not to mention linking to other pages. Which I do plan on
linking with Ike Clanton's page ... once I have contacted him again and
received writtten permission. Original was lost in the crash. Good weekend
to all. Be sure to post your input here, please.
Susan
Does anyone know what the Mystic Clan was? I see where this Virgil A.
Stewart wrote a book on his experiences with the Murrell's. Does anyone know
what the title of the book was?
Pat
This was sent to me personally from Dorothy Clanton. Wanted all to have
copy.

Susan,
I did some research on "Big Jim" and found the following:
"Big Jim" was the son of Matthew Clanton b.1797-8 in Sussex Co. VA.
Matthew's first wife, "Big Jim's" mother, name is not known. Matthew was a
member of the "Mystic Clan" ran by John Murrell. Virgil A. Stewart has
written a book on his experiences with the Murrell's and Matthew's name is
mentioned several times. Stewart was a member also. There is not much info
on the Murrell's in Madison County because the court records were torn out
and destroyed (our librarian told us this). My husband's gg grandmother was
Sally Murrell and his great grandfather married here in Madison County and a
James Murrell was a witness, but we don't have any info whether these are
related to John Murrell. Wish we knew.
This is the info we have: "James William Clanton, called Big Jim, was born
1825-6 in Tennessee, probably in Madison County. He went with the family to
Yalobusha county, MS and on to Panola County, MS where he was Postmaster at
Eureka from 31 July 1849 to 6 March 1851. It is written that on 4 July 1858
in Panola County, the Declaration of Independence was read in a very
creditable manner by Col. J.W. Clanton. This may be Big Jim, or it may be
Joseph William Clanton, the son of Robert Clanton (Matthew's cousin) and
Sara Smith. He may have been Postmaster in Panola from 12 February 1858 to
6 November 1860. Big Jim married Betty Mallory, who was born 1830 in
Georgia. In 1852 Calhoun County was formed, part of it from Yalobusha
County. Big Jim and Betty are listed in the 1860 census of Calhoun County,
MS which conflicts with the date of him being the Postmaster in Panola
County. It was most likely him being the Postmaster in 1849, with his
father Matthew holding that position immediately after. But the term from
1858 to November 6, 1860, listing J. W. Clanton as Postmaster, may be
someone else, perhaps Joseph W. Clanton. In 1860, Big Jim and Betty were
living in Slate Springs, Calhoun County, right across the border of Webster
County. Here in Slate Springs they had $3,000 real estate and $1,00 in
personal property. There is listed a James W. Clanton serving in the CSA as
private in Co. I (J) 31 Mississippi Infantry, and serving as a private in
Co. K Mississippi Infantry. This was most likely Big Jim. Later they moved
to Caderetta, Webster County, MS. It is said that Big Jim died in Calhoun
County and is buried at Slate Springs." This is a quote from the material I
have. Hope it helps. It also shows the following brothers and sisters:
Joseph M. Clanton b. 1831, Madison Co. TN; Frances A. Clanton b 1831-2,
Madison Co. TN; Sarah A. Clanton b.1835-6, Yalobusha Co. MS; Matthew Clanton
b. 1839, Yalobusha Co. MS; Robert T. Clanton, b. 1841-2 in MS; Mary E.
Clanton b. 1844-5 in MS.

<< I am reposting this since Susan Groover and any new people did not receive
it. >>
Thanks, Pat...(since I have probably broke two or three of the guidelines).
Nothing was mentioned about signature lines. Are they considered
acceptable? Or is this an issue that is left to the individual group?

Keep in mind when writing a query the fact that no one knows how old you are
unless you tell them. If you are now 80 and your grandfather died when you
were 3, we are looking at a totally different generation than if you are 30.
Even if you don't have any information on dates, make guestimates. Most men
have children when they are between 20 and 50(there are exceptions)
1. Use specific names, dates, and locations.
2. Provide only as much information as you need to
specify the individual/family in question.
3. Break multiple-family queries into seperate entries.
4. Avoid general "looking for info on any Clanton families"
unless you really, really mean to.
5. Use standard abbreviations (b=birth, d. =death, etc.)
and don't make up your own unless you explain what they are.
6. Include your name and e-mail on every query.
7. Please post your query answers to the list and cc themember.
(Remember we all may be able to benefit by the answers.
8. Do not include long lists of your surnames unless they are
accompanied with date and location info. Queries such as
researching CLANTON, MURRELL, LEMONS, CRAIG, do
little good.
9. Post updates! As you acquire information, post an updated query.
As sonn as we get the CLANTON RESEARCH Page up, you will find
many links you can use.
Pat
I am reposting this since Susan Groover and any new people did not receive
it.
Dorothy,
I am now curious...
What do you know of "Big Jim" Clanton? He was born in Madison County,
Tennessee and his youngest son is my great-grandfather, Matthew Eugene
Clanton m. Myra (sometimes spelled Mira) P. Baker. "Big Jim" is buried in
Mississippi not too far from my grandfather's old homeplace. Loesther
Clanton had some information on "Big Jim", but have been unable to obtain
copies of her research from her family.
I have obtained bits and pieces and what I have does not totally match what
Bill Sharp has in his records.
Susan Groover
Hi everybody,
As most of you know my computer was damaged by sometype of electrical surge a
few weeks ago...Thanks to Pat (PHHGENE(a)aol.com) I see you all made the move
from MAISER to ROOTSWEB with little or no wear-n-tear. How does everyone
like it?
I have not read through ALL of my backed up e-mail, but from what I have read
I do like this TEAM effort that is taking place on OUR list. I have the
knowledge to build a webpage for the TEAM research project. America Online
provides its members with limited space to post a webpage on the Internet...I
can post a webpage for a period of time but once it grows too big it will
have to move. I have been looking into the cost of purchasing space for a
webpage...businesses are paying $99.00 a month (much too much in my mind).
Could some of you check with your Internet providers, please? Post your
respond here, so that everyone knows what is transpiring. I want this to be
a TEAM project and everyone should know the progress.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Pat for ALL that she has done in
my absence. She has been a lifesaver and done a wonderful job on short
notice. And this on top of the other four or five lists that she works. I
have asked Pat to be my secondary or backup person. Thanks again, Pat, I
appreciate you and am sure the group does also.
Although I had nothing to do with my computer going down, please let me
apologize to all for the unopportune time it picked to do it. In the mist of
the change over was not a good thing for my last nerve. I did lose some data
(about a weeks worth and a couple of addresses). Hopefully those people have
been updated and joined our group effort.
Regards to all and happy TEAM searching,
Susan Groover

I was told some time ago that some Clanton's lived in Cave-In-Rock, IL. in
the early years. Here is a book that is available if anyone is interested.
0133 Outlaws of Cave-in-Rock: historical accounts of the famous highwaymen
and river pirates who operated in pioneer days upon the Ohio and Mississippi
Rivers and over Old Natchez Trace. by Otto Author Rothest c1923 364 pp.
[977.398/R744
This book is at Mid- Continent Library, Independence, Mo. and it looks like
it might be a reference book, so I do not know if it could go out on
inter-library loan. You will be able to find the Library on the net.
Also in Surry Co. NC Census-l there is listed a Thomas Clanton 1 2 1 0 3,
and a Benjamin Clanton, 4 1 3 0 0.
Pat
Susan will be back soon, I talked to her today, She will set up the CLANTON-L
Web Page, and won't we love it.
Hope you got your Guidelines for the CLANTON-L Queries.
remember anyone who has clanton's or knows of a clanton web page(address
also) please let me know. so we can link them to our new WEb Page
Michael J. Clanton
From the "World Book of Clantons" published by Halbert's Family Heritage,
the surname "Clanton" is supposedly English in origin. My son works with a
man who does genealogy and he said the name could be Irish also. We do know
that John Clanton came over from England on a ship called "Abraham" in 1635.
Does that help?
Dorothy Clanton
dclanton(a)usit.net
to whom it may concern,
greetings! i'm one of the newest (if not THE newest) subscriber to
this location. i've searched the 'net for any idea of where the name
"clanton" came from. using all of my search engines, i only came up with
the website for the clanton gang and (thankfully) this one. if there is
anyone out there who is reading this, who knows the origins of this name,
and has the time to write me, i would greatly appreciate any information
you could give me. thank you.
respectfully,
michael j clanton
The only WEB page I know of that is dedicated to the CLANTONs deals with
that Notorious CLANTON Gang. Good reading at www.clantongang.com It lets you
meander through a number of different paths from genealogy to the "Shootout
at the OK Corral" and the actions that each participant took. Fun also with
mobile actions..
I would like for all of you to look at
http://www.ctaz.com/~shadgraf/stitt-l.htm
This is a web page set up for STITT-L one of my lists. One of the
subscribers for STITT-L set this up for me.
Do any of you have web pages for CLANTON, and would one of you be willing to
set up a page like the STITT-L page.
When you check the Genealogy Resources, State Links and need assistance, if
there is not a box, click under the sentence.
We need a primary site, and then secondary sites to link to the primary.
Please send me your Clanton website addresses, and if any of you would be
willing to set this up, please let me know at this time.
After we get the page up, then I will post the guidelines. Remember we are
not just subscribers any longer we are TEAM RESEARCHERS and remember we're
going to have fun, along with finding our ancestors.
Pat
Here is what I would like to do, but I need the help of every subscriber on
this list. There are 25 subscribers to this list. A nice number to promote
this plan.
Any subscribers who have web pages related to this family name and the
various lines that connect, I need you to send me your web page address, and
also list the names that you are searching that involve the CLANTON line.
Here is the plan. We will use a combination of the List itself and a primary
CLANTON site as well as secondary sites that various CLANTON subscribers have
uploaded. We will also have links to the County USGENWEB pages that are of
the most interest to those of us who are actively researching CLANTON lines.
On the list itself, I ask that when queries are posted, that they be
accompanied by as much documentation as possible. We will actively encourage
the posting of records, and when we can't find an answer to a question among
us, one of us (list subscribers) will post it as a query to the apprioate
County USGEBWEB location. Once we get the answers (hope we are that lucky),
we will post it to the list.
We strongly discourage private emails since this will be a TEAM RESEARCH.
Others who have used this plan, say their list is active to the point of
insanity.
Pat
If you are not interested in this let me know now.
Description
The CLANTON Mailing List is an e-mail list for genealogical research of the CLANTON surname. We are interested in any time period and all geographic areas pertaining to the CLANTON surname.
Information
The purpose of the CLANTON Mailing List is to band together those who research the CLANTON surname, so that we can share experiences, examine sources, give advice, make suggestions that others may find the information they are seeking.
