Phillip, We have communicated before about your Walker kin in Mulberry Valley. My GGG grandfather was Christian Clouse. I have some information about this family and know where they lived. I have seen no proof that he was married to Charlotte Tapp but would love to know more about the Tapps. I believe Christian had a son named George. I am looking at an excerpt from the publication "Watauga" Volume 3, 1974 which is at Tennessee Archives. It is entitled "A list of the Free Male Inhabitants of Claiborne County, Tennessee who hath obtained the age of twenty one years and upwards. Taken in the year 1833. James Mason Commissioner to Claiborne County." The list includes Christian and George Clouse. They are numbered Christian 234 and George 235. I do not know what these numbers refer to. My line comes through Nancy Clouse daughter of Christian who married William Ramsey, son of Josiah and Elizabeth Ramsey. The Clouses lived next door to the Ramseys. They lived in the part which would become Hancock County in 1845. I have more information but will have to dig it up. Rosemary Ramsey Cox
