Joan,
Would it be possible for you to send me a copy of your copies of the pages from the Bible? I would love to see them! Also, I do have a picture or two of Grandpa Dora (Theodore)--one with his brother Will (William) that I know of. If you have more that you would be willing to share, please do so. You wrote my grandpa Robert Theodore or my dad Robert Keith from Delphos a long time ago, probably when you were first starting research, and I am glad to be in touch with you again. My line is Jonathan?-James-James-Theodore-Robert-Robert-me, and no, I don't know where Mercy Clawson came from either. Have you been to Delphos Public Library's updated genealogy room? As I am now an empty-nester, I just started back up my research and I can go up there if you haven't been. My e-mail is kiggs(a)bright.net or kiggs(a)embarqmail.com.
Julie

Hi, No there is not a "Bible", but the actual sheets that were copied and sent on to me by another researcher.These sheets were not "hand copied' for me but actually copied from the actual Bible. It's been so many years i forget who holds the actual BIBLE.
James in my Great Grandfather, his daughter Rosinna Kiggins married Winson/Winchton Carey who then was the father to Edward Cleveland Carey, who is my Dad.
If Theodore is your great grandfather.... your way down the line.Would you like a picture of him??? Theodore? I'll bet you would. Do you have any old pictures of the family or any family Gossip about Mercy??? ANYTHING??? Just like in this Bible, just the littlest thing can open a door.
Hope you have something. What do you want about Theodore?

I believe this is the daughter of Thomas Clawson and
Hannah Rawlings. She was married in Springfield, Ohio.
Her grandfather was Richard Clawson who came to Berkeley,
Virginia from New Jersey. Richards father was Thomas
Clawson and his father was William.
Her sibblings were Josiah, Frederick, Andrew, and Mercy.

Hi Joan!
My ggggg grandfather Peter Sunderland was a friend,
associate, and business partner to Old Thomas Clawson.
They traveled and settled in many places together.
Peter's son Dye Sunderland married Mercy Berryman.
Peter Sunderland died at Fort Amanda in Allen County
Ohio. That's where you will find Thomas Clawson and
his son Frederick in the 1830s. They were Allen
Counties first settlers. Check out this link.
http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:1918523&id=I36
In Dayton my Clawsons lived near Frederick.
I have contacted Montgomery County Records in Dayton
and they pulled the file and read the marriage record
for Mercy's parents. Frederick Clawson & Barbara Smith
1818. That's one year before Mercy was born. I will
contact you by email so you can have the City Of Dayton
send this directly to you.
Anyway, I am not a researcher. I'm just a Clawson cousin
who read on the internet that another cousin couldn't
find her gg grandparents. Take care, Bruce

I guess suicide would be easier then what's happening since I took a chance and answered an e-mail. I need to find a way to get this to the "caroline' lady and not have to write it again.
1. I am very methodical in my research. No helter-skelter. There is so much mis-information out there that I WILL NOT put my Clawson/Claeson/Closson/etc. on the Internet. What I sent out to 5 people weighed about 3 pounds. Lots of money, time and effort went into all of my work. So I really see no purpose in the theory "IF THIS, THEN THAT". It usually comes back and slaps you in the face.
2. What is the "mentioned" in the said bookby Frank S. Crosswhite.
3.I have many letters and e-mails from Winona Garmhausen so I will have to see this book. If this is a book published in Colorado and in the Denver Public Library, I will refrain from giving a "critique" here. The book was a "Kiggins" family book. IF THIS IS THE SAME BOOK I SAW. So I will wait and see... the book.
4. Yes Mercy was generous. But she was doing what any researcher will see in many families of the day. When THOMAS died of TUBERCULOSIS, not Cholera, he NAMED James Kiggins in official papers as his daughters guardian. "O-F-F-I-C-I-A-l Papers. She was 12 years old. Her STEP-MOTHER ADELINE did not wish to take the child after Thomas's death. Check his Will.If you want the correct info on this I can tell you.
5.The Kiggins took in the Brown children, 4 of them, after their father died. They were only in the home 4 MONTHS. When the eldest, Rachael Brown married James Kiggin's brother Alexander Kiggins, she took her sibblings in with her.
6. Mercy was NOT, repeat NOT, Thomas' sister.... but 1/2 sister. It makes a difference. I would LOVE it to be her actual brother,then I wouldn's have to chase after another wife, but his birth will not make the cut. His sister Euphremia is the person who set him up with his SECOND wife, who was pregnant at the time by her deceased husband. YES... Thomas remarried after the death of Anna. And he did leave a Will, and he's not buried in a pit somewhere. (As the "caroline" woman states) IN ALL OF MY RESEARCH, I HAVE NEVER READ WHERE PEOPLE WHERE BURIED ANNONYMOUSLY (SIC)IN PITS. I don't put much stock in that "Legend" about Thomas and Mercy being sibblings by one mother. My father... Mercy's..... Grandson, was born in 1884. He was the youngest in a family of 6 children. His mother was Rosina (Kiggins) Cary. He was 50 when I was born. MY FATHER, having been BORN in Mercy's home, and grown up RIGHT THERE, he NEVER spoke of having a grand-uncle who was a Canal Boat Capt. His brot!
her Robert, who was the Eldest by 15 years,and never told his little brother the adventursome story of a Boat Capt, I find unreal. How easy it would be for me to take a deep breath, let out a long sigh, and say EUREKA.. THE FIRST WIFE DIDN"T DIE. THEIR ALL ONE. Sorry, can't buy that.
7. No where in the family is the name Thomas used. Not as a 1st. or 2nd. name. And neither did her daughter Rosina name any of her children Thomas. But... Rosina (and that is her name) did name her children
1. Charles Robert (after husbands brother),
2. Almon (key name for discovery, only one other person used this name and I did not find it until a Will in the the state of Illinois). Almon Nelson,
3. Frederick, (for her grandfather on the Mothers side), 4. Lewis (for grandfather on her Father's side),
5. Edward Cleveland (my father,and shows Rosinas political leanings. (Pres. Grover Cleveland).
6. Ida Belle
7. Laura Rose (After her father's Grandmother and she, Rosina herself. This woman was Rose (Kern) Boyer. Husband Lewis Boyer has an Amer.Legion Hall named after him down in southern Ohio. He was a Guard to Gen'l. George Washington. I have a copy of his discharge papers sign by Gen'l. George Washington. Rose Kern Boyers mother lived to 112 years old).
8.Frederick had 11 children by 3 wives. Neither you or "Caroline" have mentioned the 1st. wifes sirname, curious. I know the 1st wife, don't know 2nd wife, know 3rd wife. Second wife is Thomas' mother while 1st wife is Mercy's. Little kids feel something when Mom dies and new mother shows up. The new mom has 4 more kids in ages not to far from your's. Who do you think picks up the work? Then this mom dies and Dad marries again. Can you see Mercy and her brother becoming the work horses in the family? Especially knowing the closeness of she and her brother,and all that I know about her choice of husband. One journal refers to him as a "scoundrel", and worse. Read some of the Newspaper clippings from the Kalida, Delphos, Van Wert or Lima newspapers. "Don't buy any Bonds from James Kiggins". I think he and I would have had great conversations.
9. In God's name, use the internet to guide you, but NEVER, NEVER, NEVER for facts unless YOU CHECK THEM OUT. You can NEVER trust the internet info. It's ALL="IF THIS ....THEN THAT". That's where going to the source is absolutely critical. Going to libraries are great for research. The one in Ft. Wayne, Indiana is monsterous. You go to the card file, pick out the books, write Name, Author, Publ. and how many in group of books, (There can be a group volumn of 20-30-40, and if you don't say how many, they will bring them ALL, (They said "don't trust the computer listing") you take a seat, they bring you the books, you use them, you put them where they can get them, and start all over. You have to bring a Roll or 2 or 3 rolls of quarters with you. I'm sure the copier isn'r 10cents any more. And if your smart, you will buy yourself one of these little rolling carts for all your equipment. A small calculater will take the grief out of age dating by month, year and days. BUT..YOU !
CAN ONLY GET WILLS, GUARDIANSHIP PAPERS, FAMILY "SECRETs", BY GOING TO THE PROBATE COURT FOR EACH COUNTY. You should see my Atlas Map book. About 15 states covered with high lighting and paths. And most of all.. trust serendipity. It happens.
10. Last but not lease, you are Sooooooooooo far from having solved this canundrum (sic). Your sticking point, as you can see very clearly on the census you quote (1850), Mercy herself states one of her parent's is FOREIGN BORN. Where is she in 1830,and 1840. Also, Andrew quite possibly is her brother, but how did you connect Frederick, Rachael, and Josiah as hers and Andrews sibblings. MY MERCY IS NOT A DAUGHTER TO A THOMAS CLAWSON. I'm sorry to say your just quessing, and that won't fly in genealogical research. It just won't.
Helen Burcaw is now deceased, but she and Cherrie Tice, A.J. Flack are the only people I have ever trusted... completely. Also the Clawson in Wisconsin because he backs up everything and proved the "heighth" contrivercy (sic) about Kiggins/Clawson
It might help if you research Kiggins, 'cause you sure will find Clawson/Clossen.Claesen/ etc..
Joan
I'm not a crab, just contankerous, and my only grandson left this morning for colorado and i wanted to go too.

Sometimes a guy could just kick himself. I needed to
do a little more reading to have the right answer on Mercy Clawson Kiggins father the first time.
There is a Mercy Clawson, daughter of Old Thomas Clawson
son of Richard Clawson. Mercy Claswon is mentioned in a publication called A NEW FRAMEWORK FOR THE GENEALOGY OF CERTAIN DUTCH-SCOTTISH CLAWSONS
by Frank S. Crosswhite
There is also a book that features Mercy Clawson
Kiggins and her Clawson family called COMMING TOGETHER A PORTRAIT OF A FAMILY by Winona Garmhausen
Mercy is a legend in the family, taking in orphans and
raising them as if they were her own. She did it for
love not money. There was no public assistance in those days.
I could have used the above mentioned publications and had
the right answer sooner, but some guys have to do it the hard way.
>From Mr Crosswhite I learned that it was the line of Thomas that used the name Mercy. The family legend is that Mercy was canal boat captain Thomas Clawson's sister and Caroline
Clawson's aunt. So, I was looking for yet another Mercy.
She had to be a niece of old Thomas daughter Mercy from one of his sons. The children of Andrew and Josiah are known and they have no Mercy or Thomas. So this left Frederick to be the possible father of Thomas, Caroline's father and another Mercy.
But Joan Haller had Frederick Clawson's will. She found Thomas the father of Caroline in it and no Mercy. Looking
at Records of Putman county Ohio, I should have found two Mercy Clawsons. But, I only found one.
I had been looking for the daughter of a young man, not an old man. Thomas Clawson, son of Richard had grown children
in 1819. I wasn't looking for Mercy Sunderland to have an aunt named Mercy many years younger than her.
I followed the path of old Thomas Clawson on the internet using Google searches. I saw when his sons Josiah, Andrew,
and Frederick were born. Daughter Racheal married a Berryman. Old Thomas Clawson moved to Dayton in the early 1800s. And the 1820 census in Montgomery County shows old
Thomas has a little girl in his home. Rachael was grown in 1820. This means Thomas Clawson's Mercy was much younger than his other Children.
So it appears that Mercy was about 8 or 9
when her family moved from Dayton to Putman County where she grew up and married James Kiggins. The brother next door was named Andrew Clawson. He was born in 1800, a son of old Thomas Clawson. Andrew was the husband to Mary Kiggins James Kiggins sister.
I believe there was only one Mercy Clawson in Putman
County in 1850. She is the daughter of Thomas Clawson.
She is also the sister of Andrew, Frederick, Rachael, and the Josiah who is the topic of this thread.
Thanks to Joan Haller, Caroline, Frank Crosswhite,
Winona Garmhausen, and everyone who gave the clues
to help solve a real puzzle.
Now it's time to find her mother!

Hi, Joan.
I hope you check your email often since I'm delighted to make your aquaintance.
My great-grandmother was Caroline Clawson, d/o Thomas and Anna Williams Clawson and NIECE to Mercy Kiggins, who was indeed born a Clawson since she was Thomas' sister. Thomas and Anna were married 19 Sep 1844 in Putnam County, Ohio, and Caroline (their only child) was born in Allen County, Ohio, the following June.
This information comes from Myrtle Deems Black, Caroline's grand-daughter, who died a few years ago at 104. Her dad was William Deems, oldest child of Caroline and her husband, Jacob Deems. My grandmother was Elsie Deems, Jacob and Caroline's younger daughter. You might be interested to know that Caroline named her older daughter Rose, in honor of Rose Kiggins, who she always said was her best friend in the world as well as her cousin. (Caroline smoked a pipe, too, BTW.)
I'm sure you know the story of the cholera epidemic that swept through the Delphos area in the 1850s. I think Anna had already died, but the epidemic did in Thomas, so Caroline went to live with the Kiggins and she can be found listed there in the 1860 census.
Thomas has always been my stumbling block, just as Mercy Clawson Kiggins has been yours. Maybe knowing that they actually were siblings will make the hunt easier.
For what it's worth, Myrtle was almost 40 years old when Caroline died and had lived with her almost since baby-hood, so if anbody would know about the relationships it would be she. Also, there is a story Caroline told that at some point one of her Clawson uncles showed up wanting to take her in. Mercy and James told him in no uncertain terms that such a thing would not happen, since Mercy was as closly related as he was and more capable of taking a mother's place. Case closed.
At any rate, I am recently retired and live within 50 miles of Delphos, so I have been planning a trip to Allen and Van Wert counties, but I now think I'll make a little side-trip to Putnam. If Thomas and Anna were married there, there might be something in the records about antecedents. It's worth a shot, anyway.
I'm a pretty good researcher by this time. My dad (Caroline's grandson) started on the family history in the early 1960s, so I've been at it for over 40 years. Wish me luck.
FYI. I am indeed named for Caroline Clawson. Also, if you would like to see a photo of Caroline, I have one posted on the 'Find A Grave' website under Caroline Deems. Maybe there's a family resemblance.

Caroline

Message Board Post:
Long ago, back before the American Revolution there was a lady named Mercy who had two daughters.
Their names were Rachael and Mary Buckalew. These two sisters married two Clawson brothers whose
descendants would amount to most of the Clawson pioneers in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and Indiana.
If you have Clawson blood and you find these names in your family tree,: Josiah John, Peter, Thomas, Garrett, and Andrew, then you are almost certainly descended from Mercy Buckalew
The name Mercy was repeated in the line of Richard's son Thomas.. His grandmother was named Mercy. He named a daughter Mercy. His daughter Rachael named her daughter Mercy. Not only did the Thomas line use the name Mercy, but he also went to Allen County, Ohio with his children.
Thomas Clawson married 1795. Frederick was born in 1800. In the early 1800s this Clawson family moved to Montgomery County, Ohio. It was in the Dayton area where Frederick grew up. In 1818 He got married and moved to Madison Township in north west Montgomery County.
Dayton was one Big family reunion. Thomas had a brother Josiah. And, Peter, John, Garrett, and the other Thomas were his first cousins. At a Clawson Christmas get together in 1820 you might find half a dozen men named Josiah and as many more named Thomas. They no doubt had a hard time putting these people in the proper family almost 200 years ago. It's even more fun trying today.
It was 25 years ago that I was reading through some old letters my grandmother had saved. Some were from a cousin Caroline Clawson. She said her father had been a canal boat captain on the Miami And Erie Canal. She had been left an orphan when her father died in a cholera outbreak in the 1850s. She was taken in by an Aunt Mercy who had been a Clawson.
Recently I discovered that a friend of 30 years was descended from this same Caroline Clawson and
that the story we knew was the same. Mercy was Thomas sister and Caroline's aunt.
People in the family had been guessing for decades which Clawson family Thomas and Caroline were from without much luck.
It was the name Mercy that caused me to look at Thomas the father of Frederick, because he is the one to use the name Mercy.
Frederick Clawson moved to Putman County in the late 1820s. That is where Thomas the father Of Caroline married Anna Williams in 1844.
As far as the Indian story, there is an old legend in the Clawson family about a little Clawson girl who
was kidnapped and raised by Indians. When she was returned to her family she had adapted Indian ways.
That story was very familiar to the Clawsons in the 1820s.
In the 1880 census, Mercy Kiggins name is spelled Mercy. She says she was born in Ohio and her parents
born in Pennsylvania.
As far as more proof is cocerned, a decendant of Thomas
and Caroline is heading to Ohio to try and find documents.
Wish her luck!
Bruce

Well sir, I'm going to take a deep breath and state that I still would like to see the proof. Only because I have three packed sheets of his Will, Guardianship papers for his children, debts claimed by others, Newspaper Notices, also I know exactly where everyone lived, her brother, her mother, so I sure would like to nail it down... but how? She could have just as easily been named after Marsey Harris, because her name on her tombstone is written Mercey, and as you know the cemetery is name HARTSHORN,--- Josiah Clawson(b.circa 1800) and Elizabeth HIRE's (b. 1817)daughter-in-law was a Hartshorn.
I can see it all fit...BUT... SHE WAS BORN IN 1819 in PENN. AND HER MOTHER "WAS OF FOREIGN BIRTH". EVERYWHERE HER NAME IS SPELLED CLAESON.(Which really means nothing to this family spellings).
My grandmother was Rosinna Kiggins Carey, daughter to Mercy. ALL her children fit. My father said his mother (Rosinna) had Indian blood. I asked how he knew, and he just grined at me and said "She dressed like one". My Dad was born in 1884, so I can't imagine dressing like an Indian is what one would do back then.
20 years ago I was in Delphos, Ohio and asked a "Second Hand Store" employee if she knew of anyone in the area that knew anything about a home that use to be just off the corner. I was pointing at it, the area where her home once stood, when the lady who was older then myself (55yrs old)said, "You mean the little Indian Lady?" I was staggered. We talked for over an hour or so. I have Rosinna's pipe that she smoked all the time.
Everything you have stated as far as THIS Josiah is concerned may be true...But???
My Berryman is a Martha who married a Francis Gregory, with three of Francis' sibblings marrying Clawsons and one marrying a Susannah Hire. These are the Clawson and Gregory's that went to Marshall Illinois. (Where I have been)I could go on snd on, but there is a Josiah Clawson here who married Elizabeth Gregory, John Clawson marr. Ellen Gregory and Thomas Clawson who marr. Laura Gregory, with John Gregory marrying Susannah Hire. ALL of these people were born in the same period 1818-1827, the same as Mercy at 1819. (SIBBLING"S????)
I have the story of the Berryman Farm and Johnny Appleseed.
I can only hope and pray you have something concrete. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

Do any of you know anything about the John Clawson
who appears in the 1820 census in Springfield Twp.,
Jefferson Co., OH. When he died shortly thereafter, c 1823,
his widow, Jane Adams Clawson, took her large family to
Ashland Co. (then Richland Co.) OH. Some sources have shown Jane
as born in Berkeley Co., WV others say PA.
Any info appreciated.

I believe Mercy Clawson (Kiggins) was named after
Mercy Berryman (Sunderland) her aunt. Many in the
family forgot this line lived in the Dayton area
for several years.
I understand the line goes from Richard Clawson to
Thomas to Frederick to Mercy Clawson (Kiggins)
Mercy is a Clawson name that goes back to New Jersey.

I believe this Thomas Clawson was the son of Richard
Clawson from New Jersey. He is a first cousin to Peter,
Garrett, Josiah, John, and the other Thomas Clawson who
went to Attica, Indiana
He traveled with the Sunderlands and Berrymans from
New jersey Through Virginia and other states. They
all wound up near Dayton, Ohio at present day Trotwood.
Racheal Clawson Married Berryman's son. Then, her
daughter Mercy married Peter Sunderland's son Dye.
Thomas Clawson and his children; Frederick, Mercy,
and Josiah moved with the Sunderlands and Berrymans
to Allen County Ohio in the late 1820s.
