Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
Since last report on 2 November 1998, the mailing list has 3 new subscribers
for a total of 73 subscribers. Welcome to all newcomers!
CLANTON Web <http://members.aol.com/clantonweb/index.html> had 1,203 visitors
between 5 January 1998 and 31 December 1998. I did not have the time to
decorate the website this year for Christmas. And as soon as I find some
extra hours and more space I have some things to add to website. Let me
encourage all subscribers to visit website if you have not recently, there is
a new section (CLANTON Surname Researchers) that everyone is encouraged to
give as much information as they like to identify yourself to other
researchers.
Suggestions are welcome. Anything to spark interest in the mailing list will
always be considered.

Genealogist's Christmas Eve (Twas the night before Christmas)
'Twas the night before Christmas
When all through the house
Not a creature was stirring,
Not even my spouse.
The dining room table with clutter was spread
With pedigree charts and with letters which said...
"Too bad about the data for which you wrote;
Sank in a storm on an ill-fated boat."
Stacks of old copies of wills and such
Were proof that my work had become too much.
Our children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugarplums danced in their heads.
And I at my table was ready to drop
>From work on my album with photos to crop.
Christmas was here, and such was my lot
That presents and goodies and toys I'd forgot.
Had I not been busy with grandparents' wills,
I'd not have forgotten to shop for such thrills,
While others bought gifts to bring Christmas cheers,
I'd spent time researching those birthdates and years.
While I was thus musing about my sad plight,
A strange noise on the lawn gave me such a great fright.
Away to the window I flew in a flash,
Tore open the drapes and yanked up the sash.
When what with my wondering eyes should appear,
But an overstuffed sleigh and eight small reindeer.
Up to the house top the reindeer they flew,
With a sleigh full of toys and 'ole Santa Claus, too.
And then in a twinkle, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of thirty-two hoofs.
As I drew in my head, and bumped it on the sash,
Down the cold chimney fell Santa--KER-RASH!
"Dear" Santa had come from the roof in a wreck,
And tracked soot on the carpet, (I could wring his short neck!)
Spotting my face, good 'ole Santa could see
I had no Christmas spirit you'd have to agree.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work
And filled all the stockings, (I felt like a jerk).
Here was Santa, who'd brought us such gladness and joy:
When I'd been too busy for even one toy.
He spied my research on the table all spread
"A genealogist!" He cried! (My face was all red!)
"Tonight I've met many like you," Santa grinned,
As he pulled from his sack a large book he had penned.
I gazed with amusement--the cover it read
Genealogy Lines for Which You Have Plead.
"I know what it's like as a genealogy bug."
He said as he gave me a great Santa hug.
"While the elves make the sleighful of toys I now carry,
I do some research in the North Pole Library!
A special treat I am thus able to bring,
To genealogy folk who can't find a thing."
"Now off you go to your bed for a rest,
I'll clean up the house from this genealogy mess."
As I climbed up the stairs full of gladness and glee,
I looked back at Santa who'd brought much to me.
While settling in bed, I heard Santa's clear whistle,
To his team, which then rose like the down of a thistle.
And I heard him exclaim as he flew out of sight,
"Family history is Fun! Merry Christmas! Goodnight!"

On the Twelfth day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
Twelve census searches
Eleven printer ribbons
Ten e-mail contacts
Nine headstones rubbings
Eight birth and death dates
Seven town clerks sighing
Six second cousins,
Five coats of arms,
Four GEDCOM files,
Three old wills,
Two CD-ROMS,
And a branch in my family tree
Susan;
This is the information that I have on John J. CLANTON:
The Abraham left London, England on October 24, 1635 bound for Virginia.
They arrived in Jamestown, Virginia early in 1636. John was 26 years old and
seems to be traveling by himself. The Captain of the ship was John BARKER.
This information was found in "The Complete Book of Emegrants 1607-1660"
by Peter Wilson Coldham. The record number for this information is
PRO:E157/20 found in the Public Record office, WC 2A-1LR, Chancery Lane,
London, England.
Hope this helps, and if anyone has more information on this John CLANTON I'd
appreciate hearing from you.

Clanton came over on the Abraham in 1635 and that the Captain was John
Barker.
I found that information at the Library here but I will have to look up the
title of the book. You may have already received the information that you
wanted, I've been gone for two weeks.

Johnine,
If it is not too much trouble, next time you at the Library please get the
book information for me. The title of the book, the author's name(s), name of
publisher, and date of publication would be wonderful. I'm sure others on the
list would appreciate this information, also. Thank you for your trouble.
