The bible that my father-in-law had stated "Baby Claypool, born to early, 1831" Dad Webster took us to the grave site and pointed it out. Here is the delema...George and Fanny Claypool were married in May 1831. They had the mentioned baby in 1831, supposedly summer, according to dad Webster. Summer was not noted in the Bible. Their son Daniel was born in 1831, according to his age stated in the census records, that would have made him a premature infant also (7mo). I have 1832 from the Bible. DONT YOU JUST LOVE IT. Just another one of thoes little family mysteries. Daundra
