Hi,
I am working on the CLAY/SOLESBURY families as well and appreciate the info.
However, living in Alaska I questioned the children of Henry J. CLAY and
Rhoda SOLESBURY would have been in Alaska especially Crawford Co. As there is
no Crawford Co., in Alaska.
I think someone has seen the AK & AL and thought it ment Alaska. I checked
the Atlas and there is a Crawford Co., in Arkansas. This is a common mistake
for people living outside Alaska.
Again thanks for the info.

I feel stupid! I figured it out. She was married to Henry Clay and not his
son Robert Stewart.
