This information comes from a book compiled by Helen Titus King, who has since passed away. These are the two Radcliff's mentioned in the book, the book is on the Maxedon family history. My grandmother was Retta Alice Thomas, the granddaughter of Nancy J Radcliff who married Marquis DeLafayette Maxedon. I would like to find the parents, the family, the line that Nancy J Radcliff came from. I believe it is possible that Nancy J and Clarissa are related, possibly even sisters. If any of you on the list connect with this information, please email me. Karon 4th Child of Thomas and Nancy Maxedon Joseph Wesley Maxedon married Clarissa Radcliff Jan. 11, 1852.
