Yes, I am very familiar with the Clarkton and Campbell areas, since I was born and lived in Poplar Blufffor many years.
If I have this straight,Jane and Susan may have beebcousins.Susan's father was George John Klutts.It is not clear to me if George J., Tobias and Jane were brothers and sister. Susan Klutts was born in 1851 and they all may have come to Missouri together.My listing, which I received from Patricia Beck shows children of George J. as Caroline, b. 1845, Ann Bell, b. 1847, Susan b. 1851 and Elizabeth b. 1854. Caroline is not listed as she apparently was not born yet.I would like to hear from anyone who knows about the other sisters.
In a previous e-mail, I think I showed George J. wife as Martha, but then saw something else which made me think that was the name of a town in Weakley Co., Tn.
The full story of my grandmother, Susan Klutts, is that she apparently was working for my GGrandfather as a hired girl and my Grandfather, then a married man, got her pregnant with twins. He divorced his wife and married Susan, and after the twins were born, remarried his first wife.They raised cattle, hogs and sheep and butchered them.My Grandfather sold the meat from a wagon, so there was a lot of work in cutting up the meat, which an elderly cousin of mine wrote the women probably [email protected]
