    1. Looking for Anthony Claiborne (African-American)
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: CLAYBORN, CLAIBORN, CLAIBORNE Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/lIB.2ACE/618 Message Board Post: Hello everyone, I am looking for relatives of my grandfather, Anthony Claiborne, born in Adams County, Mississippi in 1878. He married Mollie Thompson (born about 1883) in 1904 and had 4 children: Maggie, Tom, Anthony Jr. and James. According to the 1910 census, he and his family was listed in Adams County. I am familar with Maggie (aunt) and Tom (my father) but I do not have any information on Anthony Jr. or James. After the 1910 census, I was not able to track him until his death in Washington Parish, Louisanna on Feb 22, 1937. At that time he was married to Dora Coleman on Mar 28, 1917. I have not been able to find any other information about him. I really would like to know if anyone has any information about this couple (did they have any children? did Dora have any siblings? Did Mollie have any siblings?) These are questions that I cannot answer at this time. My guess would be that Anthony and his family were originally from Louisanna. I found a Mollie Claiborne in Louisanna who died in the Caddo Parish in Louisanna on 9/20/1933 at the Old Folks home there in Caddo. Although her husband was listed as Allen Claiborne, it was just strange that James Claiborne was list as the next of kin because Allen Claiborne had already died. If you think that you are related to Dora or Mollie, please email me @ [email protected]
