Tilman Clapp and Nancy Campbell married in 1880 in Oregon County, MO. Tilman dies in 1884 and Nancy remarries to David Bentley in 1885. According to the 1900 census in Oregon County, MO, there are 2 Clapp males living with David and Nancy (Emily) Bentley. I know one son, Tillman David Clapp, goes to Clackamas County, Oregon by 1918 with David and Nancy (Emily). Would like to determine what happened to the other son - his name was John or possible William. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I also have an interest in Adolphus 1774-1850. Our mystery is my husbands' g-g grandmother Ellen M Clapp b1842. It is a bit of a mystery as to where she is born...records say Newport, MI, NY...we just don't know. Her marriage record of 1860 in Bosanquet, Lampton, ON says her father was Adolphus Clapp and mother was Sarah, Ellen married Ira Mead. Family talk indicates Ellen was adopted. Now either Ellen was quite the story teller or in fact her father was a physician of hompathic medicine? A Detroit news article on Ellen was telling of her skill at making salves and balms and she attributes it to he having helped her father with his medical practice. This had to have been prior to 1860. The relative who had that article is now deceased, I wish I had made a copy. I find whom I think is our Ellen twice in 1850 census. One in Boston, Erie and the other in Hamburg, Erie living with a Chauncey Abbott family. Chauncy Abbott is also found 1860 or 1870 in MI. I wonder if one location!
in 1850 was a summer home. The Census says that young Ellen was born in MI. In 1861 she and Ira have a child Ida, born in ON; then more children arrive by 1870 and 1880 in MI. By 1890 I believe she is divorced remarries twice to a Post and then a Hunt.
Ira and Ellen's daughter marries a Clark and they live their entire life in Blaisdell, Erie, NY. This is what I wonder... was Adolphus 1774 Ellen's grandfather? Or was she a last child born to Adolphus and Hannah went by Sarah perhaps? Or did Adolphus have a son Adolphus as I found an Adolphus Clapp b 1795 in South Hampton, MA. Why is Ellen with Abbott family? Ida Mead Clark's mother in law was a Perrine, born in Jackson, MI. Chauncey Abbott's son Seth married a Perrine.
One of 1850 census has Ellen and a Eugene Clapp b. Canada also living in the Abbott household. He is later living or in the employ of a Smith Family ,and a Patch family. He is listed as a deserter in the civil war. I think the young man died as no more is found of him.
Ellen ends up running a 'bath house' in Omaha, NB. She travels to Erie in 1900 and dies 1912 as a Hunt in Omaha.
My mother-in-law knew very little about her grandparents.Her own father died when she was five.
