The closest thing I have on what you have is Marie Claxton daug of John Monroe Claxton and Ellen Couch Claxton. she lived at Wilson, Ok. she marreid a S.C. Beck . Wanda Lee Couch born 1922 married Verlon Lavon Hively born 1919 parents Robert M. Hively and Temperance Marchella Clark. Temperence Marchella Clark's parents were Mary Elizabeth Claxton born 1845 Mis died 1920 Wild Cherry, Ark. buried Pineville. She married James Clark. Eva Olive Claxton was daughter of Andrew Jackson Claxton and Harriet Jane Krause born 31 mar 1894 Salem Co., Ark. died 28 May 1973 married Millard SHAUFFLER. Another: Eva Rene Claxton born 11 Jan 1908 Paoli, Garvin Co., Ok. parents were Hosea Barton Claxton and Nancy Tabitha Nelms. Eva Rene married Hardy Evans. born 1901 died 1986. The closest daughter or Hiram and Tempy born in that 1851 time frame would be Adeline Claxton born 1850 on the 1850 but not on any other census record with the family. POSSIBILITY; i HAVEN'T CHECKED THIS OUT YET BUT THE ADELINE ON THE 1850 CENSUS COULD HAVE BEEN THE DAUGHTER OF JAMES A. CLAXTON WHO IS BROTHER TO HIRAM. I DID NOTICE JUST RECENTLY THAT HE HAD A DAUGHTER ADELINE IN HIS FAMILY HISTORY. Would you please let me know who you are. So if we have something wrong we can correct it.
