Dear Wilma, I see in the "CLAP" family mentioned in a different sketch. This one is out of Volume 3 on pages 159, 160, I beleive I wrote on the first paragraph in the " CLAPP" : There were at least 5 immigrants by the name of CLAPP who were early arrivals in Boston. They were cousins and their names were Roger, Thomas, Edward, Nicholas, and John. On page 159 of Vol. 3 it states: Nicholas CLAP (I) was the ancestor of Hannah CLAP, wife of John TOLMAN (IV). He was born in England in 1612, cameto America 1633 and settled at Dorchester. He was a son of Nicholas CLAP, of Venn Ottery, Devonshire, England. He married (1st) Sarah CLAP, daughter of William CLAP of Salcombe Regis ; (2nd) marriage to Abigail, widow of Robert SHARP ; (3rd) marriage to Anna, widow of John HANNIBAL of Ipswich, before April 15, 1667. His children were Sarah, Nathaniel, Ebenezer, Hannah, Noah born by Anna, and another Sarah born Nov. 22, 1670 who married Joseph MATHER. The first Sarah was born Dec. 31, 1637. I see one Thomas mentioned, born April 1655 and died 1670 and his father was Roger, who was born at Salcombe Regis, England on April 6, 1609. Does these sound more like your branch?
