F, J and Harley are not William M's children, but I think they may be his nieces and nephews. I don't have my detailed info here, but I definitely recall a Harley from looking over old family papers.
I suspect they are all decended from the original settlers - Nicholas Clemens and Mena Moul, through the second son Abraham, while I am descended from the first son, John (William M's father) who died young.
When Nicholas and Mena died, the kids and descendants were divided with how do dispose of the family farm (which I have visited) about five miles south of Paris, and a sheriff's sale was ordered. Abraham, now the eldest, seemed to be pushing it. You can get copies of the suit and deeds from the Stark County library.
Abraham had a lot of land holdings over the years in the Paris area. Around the 1850's he and his wife Elizabeth Rhodes raised six kids: Theodore, Monroe, Mary Jane, Alfred, Elizabeth and Alice. I have not investigated these lines at all, but I suspect that Harley was a child of one of the males, and perhaps the two daughters, and your quit claim deed might be related to the family holdings.
The real mystery for me is Nicholas. The William M. recounting back to PA does not agree with numerous PA Clemens researchers. The Moul line is pretty well worked out to the immigrants.
If others chime in that this info is helpful, I'd be happy to keep posting to the board, or we can continue via email.
