Does anyone have any vital records or death indexes for Claiborne County for the period 1946 and latter? I am desperately searching the death record of my great grandfather, William Shoop, who lived in Claiborne County from 1891 until his death, or at least I assume he died there. The last I find him is in the 1930 census. He is living with his son Marion. I have searched through 1946 and have had no luck finding him. William was born in 1854 in Kentucky so I know living past 1946 would have been a streatch but some of the Shoops/Shoupes lived to a older age than lots of others. In the census records the name is always spelled Shoop but it is spelled several other ways by the family, ie: Shoupe, Shoup, Shupe and of course each could always have an "S" as the ending. I would appreciate any and all help with this search. Thanks, Jerry Philpot.
