Ah. Maybe I can help some. First, go to http://www.ancestry.com/ and login. Then, look around on the page, and pick ALL DATABASES Then go to the P's. (N-S) Pick Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania Wills 1682 - 1819. Then enter James Claypoole -- 14 Results! Enjoy! Or, after you log in, enter this: http://www.ancestry.com/search/rectype/inddbs/4695.htm And put in James Claypoole. Great references. Not complete wills, but very much genealogy on this one! Some reference to James Claypoole can be found at: http://www.oldchesterpa.com/ In the search engine, enter the name. BTW, many names are here... James Claypoole rode the Concord with the 13. He was not part of the 13, as he did not settle there, but he was on board the Concord... See: http://199.72.15.191/Sites/Gen/Chet2/scripts/ShipDetail.asp?ID=12&Ship=The+Concord Lastly, you can also join, even if briefly, [email protected] and likely get some good results, or search their archives, etc. Unfortunately, I have lots of CLAYTONs, but no CLAYPOOLEs. Let us know how you fare.
