Subject: Jeremiah Claypool Family
> I recently happened upon a posting of someone who was selling a very
> old Bible, which apparently belonged to the family of Jeremiah
> Claypool. I believe this is the Jeremiah Claypool who was born
> October 24, 1769 in Virginia. He would be the brother of my 4th
great
> grandfather. I could not afford to purchase it, but this very kind
> stranger mailed copies of three pages of family information to me.
> The seller has now sold the Bible (I don't know the buyer, so I
can't
> answer any questions about how to contact him/her). Following is a
> transcription of the information contained in those three pages.
Some
> of the writing was extremely light, and the copier didn't catch all
of
> the words on the right side of one page. I've done the best I can
to
> capture the information without making assumptions based on my
> previous Family Tree records. Most of this information agrees
with
> Sam Claypoole's publication of March, 2000, but I thought by
providing
> the information from this Bible, it might serve as a secondary
source
> to confirm public records. There are a few discrepancies between
> dates and name spellings. If you notice that the information is not
> in chronological order, it appears that when a page was filled,
> subsequent entries were written above older entries, or wherever
they
> would fit.
