Charles Clifton was born circa 1822 in DL. About 1850 he wed Winnie Kennie,
probably in Green County, GA. She was a native of GA and was born circa 1830.
This couple joined several other families from Green County in a migration to
central MS in the early 1850's. Their descendants later became prominent in
Attala County, MS. Photos and other info about this group can be seen at <A
HREF="http://www.homestead.com/ehutchison/clifton.html">Clifton</A> .
I would be interested in sharing info with other researchers who might have
knowledge of Charles and/or Winnie and their origins.

Yes, we have had several twins in our Clifton line. Also it's funny how I
(as a researcher) keep running into the Casey County Clifton's. My Clifton
line is the Owen Co. KY line that came from DE settled in KY 1800. 1 branch
moved to Lee Co Iowa and the 1850 census listed a Josiah Clifton as a
neighbor see below.

Thanks for the information on the IL Clifton always interesting to find out
who is who. Barbara
After yesterday's posting I found the following on a John & Josiah Clifton.
It's from the book History of DeWitt County, Illinois - Published by Brink,
McDonough & Co., 1882 It's interesting reading even if they are not your
family. Note: Another notation on a William Clifton, "removed from the
county but know to be living [1882]" and a George Clifton listed in the
Clinton Precint 1844"
Barbara "Clifton" Guinn
"Several settlers from the vicinity of where Clinton now stands were over to
a mill about two miles from where Waynesville now stands. The weather was
mild, and the snow fell very fast. They got their grist and started for
home. At that time there was no house from the timer on Kickapoo to Ten-Mile
Creek, near Clinton, a distance of twelve miles. When they got about three
miles from Kickapoo timer, it snowed so fast that they could not see any
distance before them, and their team (two yoke of oxen), gave out. The wind
changed and they got lost. The snow was from two to three feet deep and it
began to get very cold and their clothes froze hard on them. They did not
see any timber and could not tell which way they were going. Finally they
unyoked their cattle and let them go their own way. One of the oxen took a
straight course and they followed him till one of the party John Clifton,
gave out and laid down. The other two dragged him through the snow and
cuffed him about to keep him awake. About sunset it quit snowing and they
could see timber and a house about three miles away and their ox going
straight towards it," ................."The sick man [John Clifton] was the
first to get to the house................ The house was that of John Robb,
who lived on Rock Creek, five miles east of Waynesville."
The names of the three men were Josiah and John Clifton, and David Moffit.
In researching my mother's family in IL and this was passed on to me. It
references a Josiah Clifton hope it helps someone. The family names I am
researching in this area are Hall, Bowles, Conrads Alexander Barnett married
into our Hall family
Good Luck Barbara "Clifton" Guinn
- -----------------------------------------
DeWitt County History 1882
Alexander Barnett is the oldest pioneer citizen of Clintonia. He is a native
of Bourbon county, Kentucky, and came to the county in the fall of 1831. He
first stopped in wbat was known as the Hall and Bowles settlement, Barnett
township. He remained there but a short time, when he returned to his native
State.. The next year, 1832, he came back to this county, where he has
remained a citizen ever since. In the fall of 1834, he entered the land for
his present farm in the extreme western part of Clintonia township. At that
time Mr. Barnett, Josiah Clifton and Samuel Curtright were the only
citizens. In the same year Mr. Barnett married Miss Elizabeth Hall, and
early the following spring they went to house-keeping in a pole cabin
previously built by Mr. Barnett on his premises in Section 30. His cabin was
euphoniously called the " House that Jack built," from the fact that a man
by the name of Jack Bruner superintended the construction of it. It was a
rude affair, filled in with chinkings, but not daubed up with mud as were
some of the most aristocratic of those times. Soon after moving in a heavy
snow storm prevailed, Mr. Barnett was away from home, and when he returned
be found his wife sitting, desolate and alone, in the middle of the room,
muffled up in a cloak, and the floor covered with snow. He made a rousing
fire, swept out the snow, stuffed up the cracks with rags the best he could,
and for a time they were comparatively comfortable. The next morning. Mr.
Barnett was obliged to wade through several inches of snow before he could
reach his clothes to dress. Many years have passed, and Mr. Barnett is now
one of the prominent farmers and representative citizens of DeWitt county.
He has been a very active man all his, life, and although gray haired, and
somewhat bent with age, he is yet active and capable of more endurance than
many of the rising generation. He was elected the first surveyor after the
county was organized in 1839, served in the office for twenty successive
years, and is now the present incumbent.
I am looking for anyone who has information to share on this line:
