Frances and Bev,

Thank you both for your reply to my Joseph Clayton, b. 1842, Freehold,
Monmouth, NJ. You have both given me interesting family connections,
with the VanNotes and Thompsons and great info on all those Josephs to
sort through. I had some of it as bits and pieces, but not all connected
into families. Thanks. Will let you know when I figure it out.

Anita Clayton
