Margaret, thanks bunches for your quick reply!It, however, leaves me in a quandry.And with a different Claiborne/Clayborn now an orphan!
I have Clayborn Paris Waldrop, b. 20 May 1872, LA, son of Hiram and Mahala, married to Lula Della Barcroft, b. 5 Sep 1876, Comanche County TX.In the 1900 census, Comanche County, TX, Clayborn P Waldrop, age 28, has a wife, Lulah D Waldrop, age 23, daughters Evie, b. Jan 1898, and Pearl, b. Jul 1899.Infant Pearl died 30 Dec 1900, and is buried in Indian Creek Cemetery, Comanche County, TX.Clayborn's death certificate names Richard Waldrop and Mahalie Loute as parents by Informant E. S. Waldrop, with burial in Waco Memorial Park, McLennan County, TX.I have found no other reliable info on Lula Barcroft, but I'm beginning to wonder if she died, and Della May Sewall is possibly a second wife.The 1900 census I have for Claiborne P and Della M, Precinct 6, Coleman County, TX, states they have been married 1 year, and lists daughter Mary B, b. Apr 1899.If Della is, in fact, a second wife, there really should be some incorrect dates on the documents I'm using (all are copies of originals from FamilySearch) unless Old Claiborne was keeping two families.
Let me know what you think about my conclusions based on the documents I have .... and those that you have.I am also descended from Claiborn Parrish through Hezekiah "Ky", William Riley, and his daughter Amanda Charlotte Waldrop, m. Matthew Bain White.I look forward to hearing from you again ....
Betty
