Hi Susan,
That SSDI address is Freedom of Information Officer, 4-C-5 Annex
Building, 6401 Security Blvd., Baltimore, MD. 21235. Request a "full copy" of
the SS-5 card & they will send you a copy of the actual card. If you have any
relatives that retired from the railroad their S/S will be a 7xx-xx-xxxx
number. In this case the different railroad organizations filled out the card
for employees and information may vary. Be prepared to wait from 6-8 weeks
from time of application. There is more genealogy information in that little
3x5 card than any other federal form.
Applications to Social Security started in 1937 with payments commencing
shortly after that date. Don't be discouraged if your relative is NOT on the
SSDI. That list is ONLY for those folks that were actually being paid by SS.
Many people died prior to their collecting SS. The SS-5 cards covers ALL
applicants. A search of SS records is only $16.00 without knowing the SS
number. Glad I could help.

Hi everyone,
I just spent about an hour and a half at the library in my new hometown.
Feeling a little lost when I found out there was not much in the way of
"outside" genealogy sources. Outside meaning that most of my research at the
moment is pointed toward Southeast to Central Ohio and most resources at this
library were for the surrounding area. Anyway, after a quick look around the
room and not finding anything that just stood out at me...I inquired at the
Reference Desk about some CD-ROMs. I quickly found out that these CDs were
of the World Family project that Family Tree Maker put out. Since I knew my
way around a computer better than I was finding what I wanted in the archives
I sat down to blistful half hour of "playing" to see what I could happen
across.
Unfortunately what I am sharing with you has nothing to do with CLANTON find,
but more of dealing with the SSDI. Please bare in mind I have done little
search with SSDI or World Tree CDs.
I started out looking for my great-grandmother on my father's side of family
using her maiden name. BIG mistake! Learned lesson quickly when looking for
SSDI use last married name at time of death. I confirmed this by finding my
mother's SSN and grandmother's SSN.
So, I look again for gr grandmother's SSN on this wonderful new "toy", but
having feeling of striking out when I find someone with her same birthdate,
but 3 months off on the date of death. Feeling sorely perplexed and growing
angry thinking that someone had faked or prolonged death date to gain more
payments...I came home. Especially since husband was impatiently waiting for
my library card and reminding he needed sleep! (Second lesson)
Anyway, I came home fired up the "ole home 'puter" and found Lloyd McDaniel
online. Told him what I had experienced and he enlightened me on more facts
that some of you might or might not know. If you have SSN of your relative
you can write to S/S & get the SS-5 card which will confirm if that person is
really your relative. That copy of the SS-5 card cost $7. if you have the
S/S number & $16 if not. The SS-5 card will have your relative's name, birth
date, birth place, maiden name, her parents name, and mother's maiden name.
One important fact to remember, though, the death date on the SSDI is in two
forms. Pre-1991 it was the last month that S/S benefits were paid after 1991
it was suppose to be the exact death date. Not bad for one day's lesson,
huh?
Lloyd was preparing for his own research trip somewhere and promised to
forward address of where to send requests. I am off to nap for work tonite
and carbon copying this to Lloyd's box.
Regards to all,
Susan Groover

Susan, I sure do hope I can cross another of your Clanton interests. I
wondered about this place because some of the families that were mixed up
with the Paty family that Sarah Clanton married into moved from Va to SC then
some of them moved on down into AL.

Hi everyone,
Been on vacation in the wild west. In a museum of early pioneers in
Billings Montana I saw a photo circa 1870-80's of an ALBERT CLANTON.
He was with others apparently employed with some wagon/teamster/livery
outfit. Sorry didn't get the name of outfit and no other info re: photo.
But thought I'd pass it on in case someone can connect. He looked to be
about in his 20's possibly older. Most of them looked pretty weather
beaten. Since Billings was a big end of the cattle drive line, he may
have come up from Wyoming? I'm sending along info from cd 315 on t6he
Clanton's. Now back to the 37 messages that were waiting for me.

Believe James Holt Clanton was also the first Grand Dragon of the Alabama
Ku Klux Klan after the war and took a high profile in efforts by the
Southern establishment to reassert control of southern society after the
Civil War. That and a hearty dose of alcohol by both parties appears to
have contributed to his murder in Knoxville.
Bob Reid (of the Bryan County, Ga., Clantons)
Hi everyone,
Here is the information that Susan was looking for about James Holt
Clanton and Clanton, Alabama. Hope it is helpful. This was taken from my
genealogy program. As soon as I find the copies I will scan them and send
them on.
James Holt Clanton, Brigadier General, CSA
James Holt Clanton was born January 8, 1827 in Columbia County, Georgia.
The family removed to Alabama in 1835. James Holt Clanton served in the
Mexican War, studied law, and was admitted to the bar. Served in the Alabama
Legislature and was elected Colonel of the 1st Alabama Cavalry in the fall of
1861. Was promoted to Brigadier General November 16, 1863. After the war he
returned to law practice, in 1866. He was killed in Knoxville, Tennessee
September 27, 1871. He married a daughter of the honorable...James
Abercrombie of Russel. They had three children.
Military (from Dictionary of Alabama Biography, p. 327)
After the secession of Alabama from the Union James Holt Clanton served as a
Captain of a mounted company, with his first service being on the Florida
coast. He built his company into a regiment and was elected Colonel, the
regiment now designated the 1st Alabama Cavalry, in the fall of 1861. He was
ordered to Tennessee where his regiment opened the battle of Shiloh, and was
further engaged in that battle on the second day. He served on the staff of
General Grant at the battle of Farmington. He commanded a battalion;
composed of his own regiment, a Mississippi regiment, and a battalion
commanded by Major S. J. Murphy, at Booneville and drove the Union forces
begore him.
In the spring of 1863 he raised three regiments, the 6th, 7th and the 9th
Alabama cavalry, and was promoted to Brigadier General on November 16, 1863.
He successfully fought General Rousseau, at Ten Islands, on the Coosa,
opposing 1300 men for several hours, although outnumbered with a force of
only 200. It was in this engagement that he lost his entire staff, and
continued to harass General Rouseau in the Union march through the state. He
served on the staff of General Polk at Resaca, Adairsville, and Cassville.
In the spring of 1865 he relieved General Alpheus Baker at Pollard, and
successfully opposed a Union raid at the same location. Later, he faught
General Steele's Corp at Bluffton Springs, Florida, and was seriously wounded
and captured in that engagement. He was paroled at Pensacola, Florida, on or
about May 1, 1865.
In 1866 he resumed his legal practice and was the attorney for the State in
the matter of the Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad case. It was during the
litigation of this case that he was in Knoxville, Tennessee, and was murdered
by David M. Nelson, following a heated argument regarding comments made by
James Holt Clanton on the floor of Federal Court.
Mexican War
James Holt Clanton volunteered for service in the Mexican War immediately
upon matriculation from the State University of Georgia. He served as a
private in Capt. Rush Elmore's company of Col. Ballie Peyton's regiment. On
the expiration of his service he re-enlisted in the Palmetto Regiment, but
reached Mexico after the capital was occupied.
The Death of Brig. Gen. James Holt Clanton
Brig. General, CSA, James Holt Clanton was murdered by a Col. Nelson on
September 26, 1871 in Knoxville, Tennessee following an argument. There are
several articles included about the murder. By all the accounts that I have
found Col. Nelson fled the scene of the murder and was neither pursued nor
arrested.
Knoxville News Sentinel
KNOXVILLE TENN., THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 28, 1871
A FRIGHTFUL HOMICIDE
General Clanton, of Alabama,
Murdered.
Colonel Nelson, of Bradley
Co., Shoots Him.
Our City the Unfortunate Scene of the Murder.
It is our painful duty this morning to chronicle a most distressing
murder, and one which has thrown our community into intense excitement and
been the subject of painfully earnest, and we might say, universal lament.
The affair is doubly lamentable, because the deceased was at the time of the
killing a visitor in our city, as the agent, in a high capacity, of the State
of Alabama. Our people feel keenly the effect the unfortunate affair must
have upon the community, and share the general sorrow that must exist over
the killing of such a prominent man.
THE MEETING
The facts as gathered at the Coroner�s inquest shall be briefly told: Gen.
J. H. Clanton, of Montgomery, Alabama, was killed yesterday evening about 6
o�clock on Cumberland street near Gay by Col. D. M. Nelson, of Cleveland,
Tennessee.
About the time mentioned General Clanton, while conversing with A.S.
Prosser, Esq., near Bell�s stables, was introduced to Col. Nelson by Tomlison
Fort, Esq., and upon the invitation of Col. Nelson, the party proceeded
toward the St. Nicholas saloon to drink.
THE DIFFICULTIES
Immediately after being introduced, Messrs. Nelson and Clanton began a
conversation and continued it while walking toward the saloon. Nelson
remarked to Clanton that he could take him to visit a certain place in the
city, if he, Clanton, was not afraid to go. Clanton seemed to misunderstand
Nelson, as he asked him several times what he meant by his being afraid.
Nelson said he did not know. According to the testimony of Col. Fort, Clanton
then remarked that if Nelson thought he was afraid, he might pick his ground
and they would settle it then and there. Clanton then stepped into the middle
of Cumberland street, looking toward the St. Nicholas saloon, which by this
time he had passed. Clanton called on Fort to measure off the ground, which
he declined doing, at the same time telling Clanton that Nelson was drunk and
he ought not to mind him. During these efforts of Fort, Nelson ran into the
saloon and was gone a minute or so- where, no one positively knows. When next
seen he was coming out of the saloon with a double barreled shot gun in his
hand ready to be raised to an aiming position.
READY TO SHOOT
On seeing this, Fort left Clanton in the middle of the street, out of the
way of the terrible weapon. Just here we take up the statement of a very
prominent citizen who witnessed the killing from his window in the Lamar
House. He says as Nelson came out of the saloon he saw Clanton in the street
stamping down his foot and saying �he told me to take my position, and I am
here.� Then attracted by the noise of the saloon door he looked over there
and saw Nelson aiming his gun against the awning post. Nelson fired the
first shot. Clanton saw him coming out and drew his pistol and fired
immediately after Nelson. Nelson still resting his gun against the awning
deliberately fired a second shot, which took effect about the right shoulder,
which he had turned towards Nelson preparing to return the first fire.
HIS DEATH
Clanton dropped down slowly, and as he fell over remarked to a colored
boy, the first to get to him, �take my hat and pistol - I have done all I
can.� He lived but a few minutes, as will be readily understood when it was
found by the surgeon that there were twenty wounds, some fifteen to eighteen
shot or slugs entering his chest. Nelson ran back into the saloon with the
gun, and in the excitement made his escape, going from the back of the saloon
through a store to Gay street, thence - no one knows where.
General Clanton was taken into the Lamar House dead.
THE EVIDENCE
The evidence before the Coroner�s jury showed that when Nelson came out with
the gun, Clanton had not drawn his weapon, but was evidently waiting for
Nelson to take his place and give him some chance before shooting.
This evidence bears upon itself sufficient comments. There is nothing we
could say half as severe as the plain facts sworn to by the witnesses. Nelson
had been drinking freely during the day, and was very much under the
influence of liquor at the time of the murder.
EXTREMELY PERSONAL
As we said at the beginning, this unfortunate affair occurring here
between two persons not residents of our city is lamented by all our
citizens. It can safely be said of this case that it was not, in any respect,
political prejudices that brought about the sad tragedy. Col. Nelson had been
for some years prominently identified with the same political party as Gen.
Clanton, and there was, therefore, no such provocation.
Gen. Clanton had made many warm friends here by his genial manner, and for
the short time he had been our midst was very popular.
His remains were taken to his home in Alabama by Gen. Gindrat, Judge Rice
and other friends on the train at 11:45 last night.
GEN. CLANTONS ANTECEDENTS
Gen. James H. Clanton was born in Georgia, in the year 1827, and was in
the 45 year of his age. He served a term in the Legislature of Alabama, and
was a Whig elector in 1860.
When Alabama seceded from the Union, he was among the first to volunteer,
and commanded a troop of Confederate calvary at the Battle of Shiloh, and by
conspicuous gallantry attracted the favorable notice of his superior
officers. Shortly afterwards, he was promoted to the rank of colonel and
finally to that of general of brigate, and was constantly in active service.
In the spring of 1865, while resisting the advance of Gen. Steele�s column,
between Pensacola, Florida, and Pallard, Alabama, he was badly wounded and
taken prisoner.
He was one of the most popular men in his state, and had long held the
position of chairman of the Democratic State Executive Committee. He was the
legal representative of the State of Alabama in the settlement of the
Chattanooga Railroad..
He married a most estimable lady and leaves a family of several children,
who since the war were dependent upon his individual exertions for their
support, and who will feel their loss most poignantly.
THE PURSUIT UNAVAILING
We understand that two of Nelson�s brothers went in pursuit, to induce him
to return. Sheriff Gossett was also in pursuit.
Sheriff Gossett, who pursued Col. David Nelson last night, returned about
11 o�clock P.M., having followed him as far as Campbell�s Station, bearing of
him at several times on the road, but was unable to overtake him. He probably
changed horses on the road, and made good his escape.
Origins of Clanton, Alabama
From book on history of Alabama:
Clanton. County seat of Chilton County; situated on the Louisville &
Nashville Railroad, and on the headwaters of Big Mulberry, Clear and Walnut
Creeks, about 8 miles south of Thorsby, near the center of the county, about
10 miles north of Verbena, and 40 miles north of Montgomery. Altitude: 571
feet. Population: 1870--200; 1880--800; 1890--623; 1910--1,123. It was made
the county seat in 1868, and incoporated by the legislature, April 23, 1873,
with coporate limits extending three-fourths of a mile in every direction
from the courthouse. It has the Clanton Bank (State), and the People's
Savings Bank (State). The Clanton Union and Banner, a progressive weekly,
established in 1892, and the Clanton Press, a Democratic weekly, established
in 1910, are published there. The industries are lumber manufactories,
gristmill, cotton ginneries, cotton warehouses, oil crusher, and general
store. Clanton is the site of the Chilton County High School. Its churches
are Baptist, a Methodist Episcopal, South, and a Primitive Baptist, all with
church buildings. It was named in honor of Gen. James H. Clanton. Among the
early settlers of the town were the Bivins, Blassinghame, Wilson, Samphey,
and Robinson families.

James Holt Clanton, dear. Brig. General of 1st Alabama Calvary during THE
WAR (LOL). He was murdered in Knoxville, Tennessee by a yankee
sympathizer...have been meaning to go to News-Sentinal and see if it was in
the archives.
This bio is from a book that I found in a museum in Franklin, Tennessee.
Unfortunately at the time I did not make reference of the title, publisher,
etc....I know...bad Susan, bad...Bad Susan!
James Holt Clanton was born January 8, 1827 in Columbia County, Georgia: the
family removed to Alabama in 1835. After service in the Mexican War, he
studies law and was admitted to the bar. He served in the Alabama
legislature, and was an Elector on the Presidential ticket of Bell and
Everett in 1860. An original opponent of secession, he nevertheless promptly
went into the Confederate Army when the die was cast, and was elected colonel
of the 1st Alabama Cavalry in the fall of 1861. He opened the battle of
Shiloh, was present at Farmington and Booneville, and after raising three
more regiments, was promoted brigadier general to rank from November 16,
1893. During the balance of the war he participated in the Atlanta campaign;
was active in the Department of Alabama, Mississippi, and East Louisana; and
was badly wounded in Bluff Spring, Florida, in March 1865, being paroled at
Mobile on May 25, 1865, presumably while recovering from his wound. Resuming
his law practice in 1866, Clanton again became a leader in the Democratic
party of Alabama. He was assassinated at Knoxville, Tennessee, September 27,
1871, by a drunken ex-Federal officer (the son of a former Union Congressman
from East Tennessee), who provoked a quarrel with him. He is buried in
Montgomery, Alabama.
That is all the facts I have, Dee. Chip Clanton sent me some information
with some more facts about Clanton, Alabama some time ago...back when we were
organizing the list. I don't have time to find that article at the moment.
Of course, Chip might be a sweetheart and forward that article to us if he
has it handy. The rest of the information I have on James Holt are rumors.

PS: I am sending scanned photo in seperate note since I cannot attach files

PSS: Don't expect this everytime, dear. James Holt has been an interest of
mine for years.
Hi everyone...
Just a reminder...Please be sure to share requests and responses with the

Thanks Lloyd, the information was right on the money. Somewhere along
the line of Turbeville (Turberfield) the name and spelling changed. Both are
noted in the file I was working from. The file is Master.ged (or

approximately 11000 individuals.

This is an open message to all...
Does anyone on the list stay in contact with GENPURDY? Could someone tell me
if this person is on vacation or something? I am receiving bounced mail from
the person and becoming a little considered for their well being.
Any response would be appreciated and you can drop me a note
personally...this does not have to be broadcast to the whole group.
THANKS!
