In 1833-1835 in Claiborne Co., Tn. a David J. Clarkson was putting slaves up
as collateral for debt.
He is not in Claiborne in 1830 or 1840, so he had to come from someplace. I
cannot connect him with my Claiborne Clarkson's, but you never know for
sure. Here are the 1830 and 1840 census extracts for David
Clarkson/Clarkston and Claxton. Can anyone identify who these people are?
I'm assuming, possibly incorrectly, that the Claiborne David had slaves in
1830. He may have inherited them after 1830, so that might be incorrect.
Does anyone know who David J. Clarkson was, or can you identify some of
these groups?

As the DNA project surname administrator, I am trying to find references to earlier Clarkson/Clarkston/Claxton families in the records. It seems to be that we are all stuck in the 1800s, early or late, and if we can find some folks working on these earlier lines, and perhaps DNA project participants, we will be able to connect ourselves together.
Therefore over the next few days/weeks, I am going to be posting things I find. I would ask anyone else who has early records in the Tennessee/Kentucky feeder states to please post them too.
John – 1647 – York Co. Va
John – 1680 – Barbados
David – 1699, 1702, 1704, 1717 – New Kent Co., Va. – associated with Butts family
His son John b 1710
His dau Frances d 1710
Peter’s wife Johanna died Feb 1711/12 – New Kent
David Jr’s dau christened – 1715 –New Kent
David marries Elizabeth Jackson 1715 – New Kent
William – 1716 – Lancaster Co.
Robert – 1719 – New Kent
Elizabeth died 1719 – New Kent
David died 1720- New Kent
Elizabeth died 1710 – 2 days after David – New Kent
Dick born to Susannah 1726 – New Kent
John – 1726 – New Kent
James – 1728 – New Kent
Note – Julius Clarkson seems to be related to this Butts family as the name Butts resurrects in the Julius Clarkson descendants.
Julius if found in Louisa and Albemarle Co. Va and then migrated to Bourbon Co Ky. We find he and other Clarksons, including another David, in Bourbon Co. before 1800.
This information was extracted from a much larger and more robust article at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~greenwolf/clarkson/ky-clarksons.htm.

I found this in the North Vernon Plain Dealer. It's on line and every week they post a section on 100 years ago in N. Vernon:
Celebrate Anniversary
Mr. and Mrs. William Vinson of Vernon, R.R. No. 2, celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary on Dec. 3rd. Mr. and Mrs. Vinson were born at Dillsboro in 1843, and were united in marriage at the same place on Dec. 3, 1865, by Rev. S.F. McClain.
They are the parents of 12 children — five boys and seven girls, all living — the youngest being 20 years old, and all being present with their families, as follows: Simeon Vinson, Marion; Mrs. Walter Clarkson, Lovett; Mrs. Levi Hamrick, Van Buren; Mrs. Frank Wooster, Muncie; George Vinson, Dupont; Mrs. Ben Hughes, Morse, Kansas; Clark Vinson, Vernon; Bessie, Emma, Zada, Charley and Logan.
I believe this is your Great Great Grandparents.
I haven't had much time to check my stuff and see just how Ralph and Dad were related but maybe during the holidays I'll dig it all out.

Message Board Post:
I've received a couple of messages since I posted about my own Clarkson family line a few days ago asking about the status of the Clarkson/Claxton/Clarkston DNA surname project. I wanted to give a brief update and encourage anyone who would like to test to do so.
Today we received two gift certificates to pay for part of the test for male y-line testing and one for a female's mtdna test. If you are interested, contact me about this and I will explain.
Now for the update. So far, we seem to be falling into 4 mail groups. These are shown on the web page
http://home.att.net/~bokay1/index.html with a description of the groups and a short pedigree, but it hasn’t been updated recently, so it’s not completely current. (My fault, not the web mistress.) We have two more results back that are not shown, one if for a descendant of Thomas Clarkson of Sampson Co. NC in the early 1800s, and a couple more results whose owners need to provide genealogical information. Just two days ago, a new participant from the James Lee Clarkson line from Hancock Co., Tn. joined. (To me this is the best Christmas present I could ever receive. Not only did he join, but we had a wonderful visit on the phone. I love meeting my genealogy cousins.)
So if you don't know who you connect to, consider testing. If you represent a line that is proven a ways back in time, consider testing so others can connect. Besides, it's fun to see where your ancestors were from.
One real success story we've had is when that the results of the Thomas Clarkston of Lee Co., Va. descendant matched a line who tested who represented an earlier line in Virginia. The Thomas line had been genealogically stuck for many years. You might remember this is the line we believe may be descended from George Middleton Clarkson who was hung in the state of Franklin. Well, the line they connected back to does in fact have the Middleton name in the line. Now this isn't proof, but it certainly gives this line the opportunity to now work down the line from Va. to try to get to the State of Franklin. The time gap between the lines isn't great - and this information is far more than we would ever have gotten without DNA testing. For details, see the web page.

THOMAS BROWN
At the age of ten years, the subject of this notice came to Johnstown with
his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. John CLARKSON, and was accompanied by his
brothers, John and George, the three boys having been left orphans. He was
born in the County of Durham, England, in 1847. He attended the common
schools here for a few years and then started to work for the Cambria Iron
Company. Afterward he was a foreman of the mining department of Hawa cement
mill, and then engaged in contracting, and for several years past, had been
dealing in coal, operating the Horrocks mine, on Huber street in Conemaugh
Borough. Mr. Brown served three years as a member of Johnstown Council from
the Fourth Ward, and at the time of his death was Judge of Elections for
that district. He is survived by his wife, a daughter of Mr. John PENDRY,
to whom he was married about twenty-five years ago, and by his two brothers
above named, both of whom are prominent and well-known residents of this
city. His illness was of short duration, death resulting from a general
breaking down of the system. His grandfather, Mr. CLARKSON, died in 1861,
and Mrs. CLARKSON in 1864. Both are buried in Sandyvale Cemetery.

For those of you interested in this saga, I have finally found t least circumstantial evidence linking the familys of Thomas Clarkston of Lee Co. Va. (b circa 1787) and James Clarkson of Claiborne/Hancock Co. Tn. b circa 1775. While this may not sound like much, I have hunted for nearly 3 decades for anything at all.
Thomas Clarkston had 2 sons of interest for this discussion, David Clarkston and James R. Clarkston. We find both of these men in Claiborne County records associated with the Yeary family, once in 1839 and once is 1842 as follows:
Nov. 1839 - Amount of rents of the lands of Serelda King and Henry C King, heirs of John W. King decd for the year 1839 sold to the highest bidder on Nov 1 1839, Viz, To Henry Yeary, corn, oats and sugar, to James R. Clarkston 105 doz oats $13.18.75 and James R. Clarkston by private contract in rent $4.00 - Henry Yeary guardian. (Note - this James R. Clarkston is from Lee County and is the son of Thomas Clarkston and Nellie Feathers. He married Margaret Yeary. Yeary’s are neighbors of James Clarkson of Claiborne, specifically, Henry Yeary. Is this a coincidence?)
1842 - page 249 - Settlement with Henry Yeary guardian to Serilda and Henry C. King minor heirs of John W. King decd up to January 4 1842, paid Jos. R. Claxton for making rails and repairing fence - $13.44.
There are also deeds that involve these men:
1833 - David Clarkson to Gray Garrett, 1833, I-532, for $242.
1835 - David J. Clarkson to J.M. Brabson, 1835, K-473 - for $416
1833 - David Clarkson to Gray Garrett, 1833, K-45 for $1.00
1833 - David J. Clarkson, 1833, K-80, for 1.00
1834 - David C. Clarkson to Hugh Graham, 1834, K-363, for $83.00
1834 - David C. Clarkson to Hugh Graham 1834, K 367 for $1.00
James Clarkson of Claiborne/Hancock does not have sons named David nor James M.
Further research shows that David Clarkson married Margaret Yeary. I found info on the Yeary family and they came to the Powell River Valley very early. I cannot specifically connect Henry to Margaret, but he would appear to be either a brother or an uncle. I think putting James R. Clarkson next door to our James would certainly be evidence to connect the two Clarkson familys.
While this may not yet be much, it's more than we've had in 30 years. If anyone can piece this Yeary family together and connect these two men, please let me know.
We have evidence that the Thomas Clarkston line connects back to England, using DNA testing to connect lines. We don't have a male Clarkson participant for the James line out of Claiborne/Hancock Co., but if we could find one, we could put this question to rest forever. If you are a male Clarkson from this line, please, please consider participating. There would be no cost to you and we would all be able to know for sure if we connect to this line.

little assistance, he has by labor and economy become the owner of more
than 900 acres of well improved land in good condition; he is a believer in
the doctrines of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and in politics is a
Democrat.
