Posted on: Jefferson County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mo/Jefferson/385 Surname: McClernon ------------------------- OK. I figured it all out. The elder Hugh McClernon listed in the Jefferson county 1880 census is the Hugh profiled at: http://198.209.8.166/pastpres/mcclernh.html The profile notes that the family lived in St. Louis (really Crystal City) for three years before moving to Greene County Missouri where Hugh's decendents still live today. So, they were only moving through when the 1880 census captured them on paper. Amazing. If you look at the profile, you'll see that this missing link not only helps me identify my great/great grandfather, but his father and grandfather as well. Great stuff!!!
