A number of years ago I visited the CA State Library branch at Sutro and
saw a book in the stacks about Josiah Closson. I did a search this
morning and came up with the following information:

Hi Robin,
We chatted a bit back in 2004:
http://listsearches.rootsweb.com/th/read/CLOSSON/2004-01/1075351225
My Clausons were living in Bedford County, later Somerset County, then they moved to Cumberland, MD, down the road from Bedford. I just visited the area with John Getz and photographed their farm near Cumberland. They were buried at Rose Hill Cemetery, but due to the negligence of the Clerk at Rose Hill, their gravesite wasn't recorded, so I couldn't locate their graves. John and Joanne are talking with the Cumberland Historical Society to see if the graves can be located. At any rate, we are talking about the same family. Please keep in touch with me and maybe we can find some lost ancestors. pje6431(a)hotmail.com Paula Edens

Here is an excerpt from Bob's original post:
"My grandfather wrote a genealogy on the Josiah CLOSSON family of New England. While this is my interest and area of expertise, he included a section on the Pennsylvania Branch of the CLOSSON Family (Bucks County). It is mainly compiled from correspondance with Dr. James Harwood CLOSSON Jr in 1916."
I don't know who Bob's grandfather was but I have searched everywhere for information about Dr. James Harwood Closson, Jr. He was a chiropracter. Maybe we should try and find DESCENDENTS of his and maybe they have a copy of the book....?
I will keep you posted if I find anything.
Robin C.

Do any of you have the name of this publication? Maybe our Family History Library here in Salt Lake City has it and I can copy it if it's short.

Hi Paula,
I am not the Bob that you are refering too, but I do have a copy on CD disk of the Josiah Closson Family of New England written by William G. Closson in 1952.
The CD was given to me by his Great Grandson.
If you are interested let me know at bobcotogene(a)embarqmail.com

Hi Bob,
I too have been watching this forum for several years and I'm still waiting and hoping for information on the Clausons of PA and MD. Can you help? Have you seen the information regarding a book posted by James ??? a few years back? I'd love to see that data.
Thanks, Paula

Robin, did you ever receive the information James was referring to in his posting? I would be very interested in whatever is there as well. My email address is pje6431(a)hotmail.com. I look forward to receiving the file.
I too am related to the Clausons of Bedford, Somerset, Cumberland, MD! We may be related! I just visited the area last month and had a very informative and interesting experience.
Thanks so much.
