On April 25, 1788, at Kingston, Jamaica, a son was born to James and Helena Claypoole (Kingston Parish Register, Vol. 1). They named him Abraham George, undoubtedly in honour of (Captain) Abraham George Claypoole, a Revolutionary War army officer, the eldest son of James Claypoole Sr. and Mary Chambers Claypoole and therefore a (half) brother of James Claypoole, Jr. In 1804, four years after the death of Abraham George 'the younger' (Kingston Parish Register, Vol. 2), Abraham George 'the elder' appears to have visited his brother James as records show A.G. Claypoole arrived at Philadelphia from Kingston, Jamaica on August 11, 1804, on the Ship Hanah (sic) (Philadelphia, 1800-1850, passenger list - www.ancestry.com )

I've "rescued" an old photograph of John Blandy CLAYPOOL which was taken at
the Bushong Studio in El Paso, Texas. The photograph is dated Sept. 29th
1892 and notes that John is just 8 month and 17 days old at the time the
photograph was taken. I am hoping to locate someone from John's family so
that this precious old photograph can be returned to its rightful place with
family.
If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please
contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
