Just to let you know I’m working on the following blogs that I hope to have posted over the next three weeks as time and research permits.
First – Lawson Claypoole
Lawson and his wife Jenny didn’t have any children, and I would like to post what information I have on him online in the hopes others can add to it, or point me to other sources of information.
Second – The problem(s) with Harvey
There are a number of difficulties when researching about Harvey Claypool(e), I intend to list them, document them, and ask for help and clarification if anyone can.
Third – Burleigh Claypoole
I will post the verifiable information I have assembled on Burleigh as soon as I can double check some sources and assemble the documentation.
Fourth – An annotated Bibliography of Claypoole Sources available to the public
I hope this will be an ongoing project that will lead to a permanent separate website as an aid to all of us involved in the process of researching the family tree. I will be listing all the public records, books, and online sources with some descriptions for the benefit of all researchers, those of you who have more online savvy, and deeper experience, your contributions will be most welcome.
Fifthly, and Lastly – I’ll begin an online family photo gallery of the items in my collection and to help supplement the great one begun at Facebook’s Claypoole Connection.
Cheers,
Eric

Acknowledgments
This will be far too brief to begin with, so please forgive me if I ommitt anyone or anything, but there are really too many, but I wanted to thank those who were first or foremost in the process that lead to the creation of this blog.
First my Mother, Fay Anne, who opened my eyes to the richness of our family history, and my father James who ensured that I could proceed down this path.
My grandparents Merle and Alice who personified the good old ways.
My Aunts: Judy, Shirley and Nancy for helping and sharing at all times.
My great Aunts and Uncles, especially Dorothy, Vern, and Beatty without whom so much information would have been lost.
The congregation of Franklin Union Baptist, who opened their attics, minds, and hearts to me.
To Evelyn Claypoole Bracken without whom we could hardly proceed into the past at all (or perhaps receded?!).
To the many cousins who share so often so much.
And most recently and most especially to Barry Chapman of Tasmania, Australia and Kathie Young, who have together resolved something that had truly begun to puzzle me, and whose excellant research is summarized on the Claypoole Family website. And to my sister Erin, who helped stoke the fires of memory.
I will add and update specific thanks and acknowledgments in the places where they are most appropriate. Especially for contributions to original research. I hope to properly credit all researchers original work, and/or to thank those who have allowed me to see and share historical sources whether they are stories, documents, or artifacts.
Also I hope to properly list and acknowledge any secondary sources of information, so that others may check, rethink, verify, and explore the threads of this story.
Please alert me to any omissions, mistakes, broken internet links, or errors of any kind. You may do so in the comments sections or at a new email address I hope to create just for this website.
Cheers!
