I am a desendant of Cornelius Clawson and Ruth Elizabeth States. They had 12 kids and I only have part of these kids. Matthias Clawson born abt 1791,Ruth Elizabeth ? Nathan ? and Rev. Samuel Clawson. I donot know the names of the other kids.In Matthias'es obituary there was reference to 6 brothers and 4 sisters. The reason I ask is my GR. GR. Grandmother was Anna Maria Clawson born April 16, 1828 in Punxsutawney, Pa and Married David Bear there in 1842 to 1844. I also think I found her sister Catherine born June 1,1825 there. Catherine also married Samuel Bear my GR. Gr. Grandpa's brother. And brother Samuel born June 15, 1834 and married Mary ? I think one of these Cornelius Clawson son's might be there Dad I just don't know which one. They girls stayed in Punxsutawney, Pa till after there first boys were born. My Gr. Uncle was John WesleyBear born 1846. And Catherine's named her son David Bear born 1845 both born in that town. But at least both families left Punx. about 1847 because there next kids are born in Ohio. I thought maybe there parents died is why they moved? I was just wandering if you might be able to help me.
