I can get clear back to Jon Van Cleef b. 1627. My g/grandmother was Martha Texana VanCleave, b March 18, 1856, died February 17, 1934, married to John Pershing Weathersby, who was born Sept. 11, 1837 in Miss. and died Dec. 15, 1915. My g/g/grandmother, Catherine Donahoo, shows birth 12-29-1824 and death 8-18-1887 in Stag Creek Cemetery, Comanche, Texas. She was married to Alfred Suggs VanCleave, born 4-7-1821 in KY. and died 1-5-1896, also buried at Stag Creek, Comanche, Texas. Alfred's dad shows Joel Van Cleave, b 4-3-1793 in KY and died 6-22-1867 in Robertson, Texas. Joel was married to Pherraba Stringer. Now, the Stringers I can also take back to Daniel Stringer b. 1661 in VA., but like I said, I get deadends with Catherine Donahoo. That is basically about all the info I have on that end. Thank you again for all! your help! Gloria
