Message Board Post:
I am descended from Pleasant Clawson, born in Indiana 1815. Information I can find seems to indicate the family groups in Indiana were related, and came from Ohio, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina. The name "Pleasant" makes me wonder if they were Quaker. He named his son David Butler Clawson, born 1840 Clark Co. Kentucky. I know there is a Butler Co. Ohio, and that there were many people with the last name Butler. Pleasant's wife was Agnes Wills, aka Agnes McGowan (widow of William McGowan). She was also known as Nancy McGowan. Her mother was Nancy Bruce married to Thornton Wills and there are numerous Bruces in Ohio and Indiana. There was a lot of travel between Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky when land was becoming available in those territories. Does anyone have information about Pleasant Clawson's ancestors?
