Surnames: Clayton Lowery Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/HMB.2ACE/2614 Message Board Post: According to the 1870 Polk co. MO Census, Joseph Clayton was living in "The Poor House". His wife Hannah had died between 1860 and 1870. I am looking for information on the Claytons and the Poor House. Their daughter, Cynthia married Isham Lowery.
