Hello Clanton Rooters,
I thought that some of you might enjoy this tidbit of information shared
with me by a Civil War buff on the Web. I think it may be on target as
I do know that my great grandfather enlisted late in the war and was
captured at Five Forks, VA. The Dinwiddie Co. part is a mystery as I
had never heard that he lived any place but Henry Co. but
then again war creates odd situations. I thought it was interesting
that a description was included in the data.
"CLANTON, JESSE R.: Co. F, 57th VA Inf., Enl. on 10/14/64 at Chester
Station, VA, as a conscript. Taken POW at Five Forks on 4/1/65, sent to
Point
Lookout, MD where held until released on oath on 6/24/65. Described as
5'11
3/4", dark complexion, black hair, hazel eyes, res. of Dinwiddie Co.
(Again this
is the only fellow of the right name in my index.) May have moved to
Henry Co.
after the war, and again Henry County supplied men to the 57th VA Inf.
I
kinda/sorta think this fellow was in Petersburg working in one of the
government shops there until he was drafted, resulting in the Dinwiddie
Co. residency remark."

I figured I'd better get my two cents worth in on this line. I have enjoyed
seeing all the involvement of Clanton people and stood back long enough. I
have worked on my Benton county Missouri families periodically for about 25
years. Several years ago, my husband and I visited the Benton county
courthouse at Warsaw and xeroxed all the estate settlement papers of Benjamin
Clanton. I have put it into a file that I could share with anyone interested.
At the moment my flatbed scanner is "down" so that type of sharing will have
to wait.
One correction that I would like to make for those interested in the
husband of Benjamin Clanton's daughter, Jane, that of John Wickliffe:
His real name was John Thomas Wickliffe, not Thismock as is entered into
LDS records. My great-grandmother was "Tom"'s daughter and my grandfather was
raised very near him and ran around with Tom's children as his aunts and
uncles. They all referred to him as Tom Wickliffe. That is how it is
recorded on my great-grandmother's death certificate, information personally
given by her bachelor son, Herman Swift, who was born and raised all his life
at Turkey Creek, Benton county, Mo.
My pedigree is this:
Benjamin G. Clanton and wife, Nancy.
Jane Clanton who married John Thomas Wickliffe;
Nancy Jane Wickliffe, married John Rice Swift,
Ela Thomas Swift, married Gertie Frances Taylor, 1911 Ottawa county, OK
Eunice Sarah Swift, b. 26 Feb 1918 Bluejacket, Craig Co, Ok, married Roscoe
Edward Hightower
Eunice Eddene Hightower (myself), born 14 April 1943, Vinita, Craig Co, Ok
married 15 April 1960 Miami, Ottawa Co, Ok (eloped), to Wyley Newton
Thompson (soon to be married 38 years)
I would be glad to share more on this family with those interested.
Sincerely, Eddene Hightower Thompson of Broken Arrow, Ok

Hi Lloyd,
I am not related to Nelson B. York--I am related to JOHN YORK, who was born
in Lincoln Co Ga 1792, and who crosses pathes with James YORK, father of
Nelson B. York. I am trying to establish if there is a connection or not.
Thanks anyway for your tips. A man in your group, Bill Sharp, is going to
MS to repair a cemetery. He stated he would contact me when he returns--he
was raised in Bradley county and knows the families involved.
>>> I checked the census records today & found the following:
1) James York (b.1788NC) & Jane (b.1793NC) in Bradley Co.,AR. 1850.
2) ch was Nelson B. York b. 12 Dec 1821 Lincoln Co.,GA. Bradley Co. AR 1860
Census p. 573. NO child named Nelson.
3) ch was Terrell C. York b. 1824 Lincoln Co.,GA. Bradley Co.,AR. 1860 Census

4) This Nelson B.(1853) m. Sarah Clanton. His son Ernest York m. anothe
Clanton.
Hope this sheds some light & helps the quest.........Lloyd McDaniel
Hi Doris/ Gwen???,
Thanks for the quick response. Which name do you want to be known as???
Thanks for your information on the YORK family. I see by the GOODSPEEDS
writeup that your Nelson YORK had 6 ch, 4 alive in 1890 (Lowndes, Charles,
Louisa Jane & Eugenia) which means he had no child named Nelson B. YORK b. 14
Sep 1853AR as this Nelson d. 27 Jun 1930AR. The picture thickens........See
below for comments & questions.........
In a message dated 98-02-11 11:36:53 EST, you write:
Nelson B. York Sr. was the son of James York and Jane Florence. He isn't on
my web page because I haven't updated that page lately, and he is a name from
recent research in Lincoln CO GA. We got copies of court records which show
him being named the guardian of his younger siblings in order for his father
to sell property that was willed to the children by their mother, deceased.
Although the copy, see below, indicates James York's wife, Hane Flourence/
Florence died in Bradley County AR, I am completely confused because I have
the records from Lincoln Co GA showing James York being appointed guardian of
his children in 1835--usually a step after the death of a spouse. I know his
wife was Jane Florence from marriage records, and Deeds. If she died in
Lincoln Co GA, how could she also Die in Bradley Co AR years later. I think
we have two JANE's--and a second marriage for James, after the death of his
first wife, Mother of Nelson B. York.
This information was forwarded to me yesterday from Gwen Helfrey at ghelfrey@
worldnet.att.net, who lives in TX and offers to do lookups on Bradley Co AR
records.
>>> I would request that she check 1850/60/70 Bradley Co. for the parents of
Nelson YORK(b.1853) I will try to get to that today but have other Clanton
requests.
How are you related?

GOODSPEEDS HISTORY OF SOUTHERN ARKANSASp. 777
"Nelson B. York, a prominent old resident of the county residing near
Johnsville, Ark, was born in Lincoln County, GA. Dec 12, 1811, being a son of
James and Jane (Florence) York, both of whom wre born in Georgia and died in
Bradley County ark in 1865 and 1864 respectively, whither they had come in
1849.
They were the parents of six daughters and two sons. Nelson B. York was
reared and educated in the State and county of his birth, receiving the
advantages of the common schools, but in December 1844, was married in the
State of Mississippi to Miss L.J. Watson, a Kentuckian born in 1825, and to
them a family of nine children was born, four of whom are living. Lownds E.,
Charles C. (who began merchandising in Johnsville in 1886, and carried a stock
of goods valued at $1.500, he is a young man possessi9ng excellent business
qualifications and is married). L>?J> (wife of F.L.Jackson, and Eugenie (wife
of Samuel W. Godfrey.) Mr.. York has been one of the "sturdy sons of the
soil" throughout life and by the sweat of his brow has attained
his present valuable property, and is now the owner of 1,400 acres of timber
land, and has fifty acres cleared and under cultivation. He and wife are
honored residents of Bradley County, and have long been members of the Baptist
Church. Although seventy nine years of age, he is yet hale and hearty, his
memory especially showing no indications of the ravages of time. He has
always been a Democrat in politics and his first presidental vote was cast for
Van Buren in 1832."

1900 census should show whether it is David Winegar or David Winegar POTTER.
I'll check today at the lib as time permits. I also list Benjamin as m. 2) abt
1827 NC but that could be speculation on someone's part.
Benjamin G. Clanton's second marriage to Nancy UNKNOWN born 1808 in North
Carolina and died 1853 in Benton County MO. Their Children:
1) Sarah Clanton born April 8 1831 in Surrey County NC and died

DO YOU KNOW ANY DETAILS ON THEIR DEATHS?

died on the same date I suspect that the Fresno paper would have an obit on

I received a query thru our Clanton List & went to your WEB page to check out
your YORK entries. I didn't see anything on Nelson so wasn't sure if I was
looking in the correct place.
I have the Clanton connection but have Nelson as the son of Nelson Sr. &
Louisa WATSON not James & ????_______WHO?? so was curious to know if my
records are incorrect........
A son of Nelson's, Ernest Earl, also married a CLANTON..........Look
forward to hearing from you. Lloyd McDaniel

Doris,
I am not sure which researcher to put you in contact with since Nelson B. York
is referenced in two different GEDCOM. Chip Clanton's (Nuatha(a)aol.com) and
Bill Sharp (BSharp1(a)compuserve.com) both list Nelson B. York in their
databases. My memory seems to tell me that Bill is the one with the line to
Bradley Co., Arkansas, though.

Hi Linda,
Thank you for your information. Yes, "Phin" was the second son of Old Man
Clanton. "Phin" married Laura Jane Neal but they had no known children. Laura,
on the other hand was married 3 times 1) Mr. Bounds, 2) "Phin" & 3) Pete
Spencer & had children by Mr. BOUNDS.
"Phin" was not involved with the "OK Corral" incident but was accused by
Wyatt Earp of attempted murder on Virgil Earp. "Phin" was later convicted of
cattle rustling & sentenced to 10 years in YUMA prison. After 17mo. he was
pardoned due to false testamony. Later, Ballard Pearson attempted to kill
"Phin" but just wounded him. The local newspaper reported this incident
erroneously reporting on the death of "Phin" who took the news much like Mark
Twain's false death.
Thank you for sharing the contents of your letter on "Phin". Yes, He was
well liked as were most of the Clanton family there in Arizona. If you would
like to visit the Clanton Gang closer go to WEB site www.clantongang.com &
have some fun.

Dear ClantonGen,
I am not related to the Clanton Family, however my GreatGrand

in Globe, Gila Co. Az. In a letter Dore wrote to his wife who was living in
San Francisco sometime before 1890, he writes of Mr. Clanton.
Also, a new on-line friend sent me a photo of a grave stone for Phin

Hello Clanton Rooters,
I was trying to organize a few of my piles of email, documents, FTM
printouts, snail mail letters, etc. this weekend. There are quite a few
maternal lines that I've never posted queries or even begun to check
on. Two of these are married to my Clanton ancestors and I thought I'd
start here to find if anyone has had any luck in tracing their lines.
The first is Frances WILLS (or some have put "Wells") who was married to
George Clanton in 1798. The second is George Clanton's mother, Frances
CARTER, who was the wife of William Clanton and was from Goochland Co.,
VA. Has anyone had any luck with these maternal lines? I'd appreciate
any information that might shed some light on these two women.
Thank you.

Hi Starlene,
I was trying to tie Thomas into the Clanton gang but have not gotten
around to it yet. I will give you what I have so far. Maybe with your help it
will become a priority.
1) I have the same marriage record as you but I have Thomas "D." but no
birthdate. I have Sena as b. abt 1848 in VA. & listed in the 1920 Pike Co.,MO.
(ED130/SH07/ LN84). I didn't check any of the other census yet.
The one CLANTON that I suspect is Thomas Drury Clanton (1839MO-??), son
of Nicholas Stewart CLANTON, as T.D's brother Harmon WAS in AZ. in the 1880s.
I need to find the 1910 MO census record with T.D. & Sena. Nicholas was son of
Drury, brother to Henry, father of "Old Man Clanton"!!
Do you have any additional data on TD & Sena? Look forward to sharing info.
