I have tried for months to find out Elvira's maiden name...Hopefully I can get back to her origins...Ireland, England, etc. Can you help me on the George Clinton family of same county...and earlier of Crawford County or should I post a new message? I know quite alot of information except that Esther E. Clinton, daughter of Esther and George Clinton is listed in later years as Mrs. Esther E. Clinton, mother of Muriel Kirk Clinton and Kathryn Clinton...(Muriel was my grandmother)...was she married to another Clinton??? or an unmarried mother. It seems strange to me that George Clinton a very strict Presbyterian would condone one illigitamacy much less two?...Muriel was born in Chicago but returned to the Honey Creek, Spring Prairie area in her girlhood and stayed with her Aunts Catherine and Anne...her mother fades in and out of the picture but a father is never mentioned. Any help you or anyone can give me would be ! greatly appreciated. Thanks again. Rebecca Thomas Dexter at tddoor@hotmail.com
