Last year I had a harddrive crash and of course it caught me without a
backup of my Clifton files. I had a few things on paper
and kind of lost heart in attempting to restore all that was lost, but
little by little I have been working on it.
There's still some gaps that I know were once filled in and I don't know
who the kind people were that helped with their lines.

Seeking information on the parents of my ggrandfather, Robert Newman Clifton who married Mary Melissa Gentry in Anderson, Co. TX on April 3, 1890. He died October 31, 1893 in Houston, Harris Co. TX.. I am at a dead end...I cannot find his parents or when he was born...
Any information would be greatly appreciated..

Hi all, I have found my Benjamin's mother !! Under my nose all the time -
unfortunately, I don't have a maiden name, nor his father's first name. So
Luisa (also seen as Lovy & Lory- may have been a Messick) unknown married
Unknown Clifton in DE somewhere around 1800. They had, for certain
Theodore, John and Benjamin. Unknown Clifton was dead by 1819 when Luisa
married Arthur Van Kirk in Steubenville, Jefferson Co., OH.
Luisa and Arthur had one child, Arthur Jr., by 1830 Arthur Sr. was dead and
by 1842 so was Luisa.
I then found my Benjamin has a middle initial of F, so betting on Benjamin
Franklin Clifton. His 2d wife Lydia Seaton appears to have died 1848 in
childbirth as a few months later Benjamin married Ann Curfman. Then have no
clue.
I know you guys probably can't help me get back any farther, but wanted to
hear the cheers go up from you all for my hard - long search to get this
far!! Faith

Hi all Johnson and Clifton researchers
On 14 Nov 1850 an account of sales of property of the estate of Mathew Johnson
(deceased) was reported to Wilson Co. court by executors, Jordan an Littleberry
Johnson.
At this sale a Mr. B. Clifton bought 1 large Bible for $2.65 (Johnson Bible I presume)
Is there a slim chance that this Bible still exists? Hopefully in the hands of a Clifton
or Johnson descendant. If so I would love to hear about it. from anyone. I am a
3rd grt-grandaughter to Mathew and Millie Simmons Johnson
Best Regards
