Very interested. The Carpenters of Cloverland included my grandmother, born there in 1876.. You don't mention what years the book covers, but here goes -- Carpenter, Pierce. Davis, Dorsey, Hodges, Webster, Swoyer?, Henderson,Keener or Keever, Garcia, Sourwine. All these married Carpenters or their descendants. They may not all be in Clay county, and others I haven't mentioned, especially from Vigo, may have moved into Clay, but I haven't burdened you with them. Carpenters and Pierces arrived about 1868 from Hyndman, Bedford County, Pennsylvania and Wysox, Bradford County, Pennsylvania. Others I'm not sure of. --- You wrote: Hi List: While cleaning out my genealogy files, I discovered a booklet by The Hoosier Heritage Press, 1971, The Encyclopedic Directory of Clay County, Indiana. This booklet gives "A List of the Householders of the County, Their Post-office Address, Occupation, Location, School District, Section Number, Township, Politics, Religion, Assessed Value of Real Estate, Nationality, Where Born, When Born, When (they) Came to Clay County." If anyone is interested if their surnames might be listed, please email me privately at Hoosier723@aol.com. This book also contains maps and photographs of some of the citizens of Clay County.
