Stephanie Clayton Date: Tue, 10 Nov 1998
I'm searching for the parents of William Riley Clayton. His is my husband's g.grandfather. I first found him in a Marion co.,KY Early-1872 Marriages Book I. He was married on 10-2-1871 to Martha Jane Simms of Marion Co,KY. His place of birth was listed as McLean County. McLean was also listed as the place of birth of his parents but no names were given for his parents. I have been searching for this dude for a while and wouldn't have found this if not for a mistake. He wasn't listed in the index but I just happened to be searching the Marion Co. book for someone else and he was on the same page as another Clayton and caught my eye. I hope you can help me.

My father, James E. WOOD, was born in Paradise, Kentucky in 1917. My Grandfather, Shelby Davis Wood, was born on March 18, 1889. He was descended from Leonard Stum (see outline below). I am interested in learning more about all my ancestors, but in particular my Great-grandmother, Novella McINTYRE. I have noticed three references to McINTYRE in the Mullenberg data and suspect they may be related to Novella McINTYRE, born in 1859. I am also interested in learning more about the ancestors of my Grandmother, Hazel Ann ARNDELL. I have also noticed several references to ARNDELL, ARENDELL, and ARRENDELL and again suspect they may be related to Hazel Ann ARNDELL. Please contact me by email. I would be more than happy to share information with interested parties. Thank you. Allan Wood/ allanwood1@home.com
