About Claybourne History and Genealogy
Please sign in to see more. The password to view is family. Clayton, my husband went to meet his ancesters, and I Judy am trying to keep his page going.
This research is ongoing, and it couldn't have been put together without the help of all my cousins. I want to thank each and every one of them. They are to many to list, but YOU know who you are!
I also want to thank my wife, Judy, for her typing and placing photos. (She has more patience than me!)
Please feel free to report to me, any errors or different information. I will be happy to correct any errors with proof.
Special thanks to Joe Hacker,Susan Burrough and Shirley Allen, Janet Engle and Cindie Terry. The Don Norman Files has helped fill in many dates. I have recieved info from Toni Ratliff and filling in some blanks. Also adding a few names here and there.
Thanks to each family member for supplying any family history. If you have anything to add, please e-mail us, or sign the guestbook! Thanks for looking around!
Come, look with me inside this drawer, In this box I've often seen, At the pictures, black and white, Faces proud, still, and serene.
I wish I knew the people, These strangers in the box, Their names and all the memories, Are lost among my socks.
I wonder what their lives were like, How did they spend their days? What about their special times? I'll never know their ways.
If only someone had taken time, To tell, who, what, where and when, These faces of my heritage, Would come to live again.
Could this become the fate, of the pictures we take today? The faces and the memories, Someday to be passed away?
Take time to save your stories, Seize the opportunity when it knocks, Or someday you and yours, Could be the strangers in the box.
