My Claypool ancestry is "proven" back through the following generations:
1. My Great Grandparents:
Edith Blanche Claypool
Born: June 12, 1871 in McLean County, Illinois
Married: McLean County, Illinois to Maurice Moore Young.
Died: July 16, 1934, Vermilion County, Illinois.
Buried: Mt. Hope Cemetery, Covington, Fountain County, Indiana.
2. My Great-Great Grandparents:
Alfred Claypool
Born: October 14, 1828 in Licking or Muskingum County, Ohio
Married: Elizabeth Simpson in Ohio
Died: May 8, 1905 in McLean County, Illinois
3. My Great-Great-Great Grandparents:
Samuel Claypool
Born: February 24, 1791 probably in Muskingum County, Ohio.
Married: Elizabeth Webb in Musking County, Ohio (some records say Baltimore,
but it shows up on records in Muskingum County). Her father was Robert Webb,
also of Muskingum County (per his will).
Died: August 18, 1871
4. My 4th Great Grandparents:
James Claypool
Born: Some say 1744, but I have no documentation.
Married: Some records say his wife's name was Libbe, however his will
clearly shows Sibbe.
Died: Will made in Muskingum County, Ohio in 1820. Some records show death
date as 1822.
Now comes the part I'm not sure about. Most records that I've examined
show James Claypool's parents as Joseph Claypoole Jr. and Ann Griffins or
Griffith. However, I've never been able to find a reliable source for that
information. Does anyone know of one?
Thanks,
Tom D.
Recently I saw somewhere that you could send some one a copy of your family tree without them having the program "Family Tree Maker". If someone knows how to do that, would you please send me the instructions.
