These communications really help. I got a call yesterday from a resident in Germantown, Shelby County, Tennessee about the Van Hoose family. First, Jobe Stanfill Clayton was married a second time to Sarah Ingram, and they had no children. Second, I'm not familiar with a Mildred Clayton, Unless it is Mildred Ernestine Clayton born in 1934. Jobe Stanfill Clayton was the youngest of 7 children born in Lawrence County, Tennessee. His mother Nancy Blackard was the second of two wives that married John William (Flat River) Clayton of Person County, North Carolina. Flat River's first wife was Rachel Crews and they had 8 children. It could be that Mildred stems from that line, but I don't have her. By the way, the name Flat River comes from the Flat River Primitive Baptist Church. John William donated a couple acres to the church when it was established in the 1790's. The church still stands today on Flat River road and Blackard road, about 3 miles south of Roxboro, in Person County, North Carolina. Yes, Jasper Henry Clayton was my grandfather. Jap as he was called in Tennessee, was the youngest of 8 children. Jap first married Irena Jenora Presley, daughter of Parker Smith Presley. The had 6 children. the oldest was Mary who died as an infant and is buried at Andersen Cemetery along with Jobe's first wife, Rachel Jackson Curtis. Second child was Eula who married Richard Donaho. Third was Bishop who married Jewell Fletcher. Fourth was John Thomas who married Mealy Orman. By the way John Thomas died last October at the age of 99. Fifth was Jeanie Elizabeth and she married Calton Crady and last was a son who died as a infant in 1912 before Irena died in 1913. In 1914, Jasper married a widow, Melissa Almerrean (Reddin) Hanna. Almerrean was first married to William Albert Hanna and they had 6 children and he died around 1910. He is suppose to be buried at Lebanon Cemetery, but I don't think the grave is marked. I haven't found it. In 1919, Jasper Henry and Almerrean decided to go to Texas. It depends on who you listen to, but one family says Jap followed his brother in law, John Presley to Texas. The other family says Almerrean followed her brother Grover Cleveland Reddin to Texas. Grover Cleveland went to Texas working for James Thomas Orr. There are a bunch of Orr's from Hardin County, Tennessee On Christmas day, Marvin Reddin took Jap and Almerrean, along with 9 children to Lexington to catch a train. The oldest Hanna son was in the Army. They changed trains at Memphis and Houston, Texas and arrived at Sweeny, Brazoria County, Texas. My mother Zelma Olene Clayton was born on 29 June 1920 after they arrived in Sweeny. I might mention that about half of the population of Sweeny, Texas in 1920 was from Western Tennessee. The other half was from Middle Tennessee. This might help you understand why I'm searching so many different surnames. Former Hardin County residents in Sweeny, Texas married former Hardin County residents after they arrived in Sweeny, Texas. I thought I would try and break the mold, so instead of marrying a cousin in Sweeny, I married a girl who's mother was from Missouri. My mother didn't marry a former Hardin County resident either, but two of my father's sisters did. One married a Mackey Horrel Hanna and the other married a William Dee Sanford and his mother was Mary Edith White. About Roger's questions about the Van Hoose family, I learned from Drexel Hendon, yesterday, that Ike Van Hoose is truly Isaac A. Van Hoose. His wife was Mentie Carson. Isaac N. Van Hoose was married to Frances Elizabeth Crotts. Isaac A. Van Hoose is the son of Mark Van Hoose and Isaac N. Van Hoose was the son of Jacob Van Hoose. Also Isaac Newton Van Hoose is the son of Isaac N. Van Hoose and Isaac Newton was married to Martha Austin. I have not be able to find out where J.L. and J.A. Van Hoose fit in. Now are you really confused.

Following is information that I have taken from the census. John A. Vanhoose was a member of "G" Co., First Confederate Cavalry. He became a doctor after the war. David 1830 Census, Hardin Co.
