I know she was married to a John Clapper and the dates match...but I am trying to verify that it is the correct John Clapper. I am probably 95% sure that it is the right person...but would rather have some record other than the census record (which is all I really have) to prove my theory. Thank you for any help!!!

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: shaslam100 Surnames: Hylton, Clapper Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.virginia.counties.floyd/1947/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am just beginning research on this family line...so I have NO information other than what I have found in the census records. It appears that Elizah W. Hylton was married to Mary (LNU) and they had 2 children in the 1900 census. This census shows that Elizah was about 70 years old and Mary was 47 years old. It looks to me like Elizah died between 1900 and 1910 and Mary remarried to John Henry Clapper (b. 1844 Bedford County, PA)in perhaps Kansas (Pawnee County). I am a little confused about this marriage as to whether or not I have the right John Clapper since I am connected through the Clapper line to this Hylton line...since the 1910 census does NOT show any of John Clapper's children living with them...although the next family in line in the census is a Leonard Clapper, which matches a child for John Clapper...and records on www.familysearch.org shows that John Clapper's first wife died in 1904 in Pawnee, Kansas. I would just feel better if SOME of John's children were living with them in the 1910 census so I could 100% verify that is the right John Clapper - oh well? Also living with John Clapper and Mary (Maiden Name Unknown) Hylton Clapper are the children of Mary Hylton Clapper and Elizah Hylton - Lala (now married but her husband is not living with her - he is in Colorado - teaching) and Clovis Hylton. In 1920, John Clapper and Mary Hylton Clapper are now living in California, as are Mary's daughter and her family. In 1930 John Clapper has died and Mary Hylton Clapper is found living with her daughter, Lala, and her family. SO...if I have the right family...and this is the correct information - I would appreciate ANY help in finding out Mary's maiden name...AND if Elizah was married prior to his marriage to Mary. I would also like to find out who Elizah's parent's are...and if Elizah connects into the Hylton family that appears to be a huge part of Floyd County's history? I sincerely thank you for any help you can provide. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Janice, Have you ever ran across a Bird Smith and a Peter Smith in your research?. Bird Smith is my ggrandfather. I have been trying to find a family connection between Peter and Bird. They were living next door to each other in the Huffville community of Floyd in the late 1800's. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janice Smyth" <Chal-Jan@comcast.net> To: <vafloyd@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, February 22, 2008 10:04 AM Subject: [VAFLOYD] Smith >I have a receipt dated 25 Mar 1874 for goods sold to Bird Cole in Floyd >County.

Hello Sharon, I am a DAR Registrar. The ancestor to your question is : yes, the Oath of Allegiance in all the colonies is proof of a patriot ancestor. There are three areas of patriotism which are acceptable to DAR -- Military Duty - local militia or Continental Line Patriotic - Oath/Allegiance, furnishing goods to the military Civic - (serving as a local, state, or continental official including signing declarations in support of independence. These are just a few of examples which qualify. You will need to prove birth, death, and marriage for each generation, including your own. It is critical that you prove the link between the generations, that a woman or a man is the child of so-and-so. If I can be of any help, let me know.

Sharon, I am DAR, I would be happy to help you (if I can) - please send me your phone number and I will be in touch. Connie

I'm researching how to get in to the DAR and one item they said qualifies is if your ancestor took an Oath of Fidelity to the Commonwealth of Virginia.
