Hi,
Although your original post is a couple of years old & you may have found the info on Clayton's parents that you were looking for - I wanted to pass along the following obit for Clayton that I found recently.
The Clearfield Progress, PA., Thursday Evening, April 27, 1939.
CLAYTON WOOSTER
KARTHAUS-This community lost one of its pioneer citizens in the passing of Clayton Wooster, whose death occured at the Phillipsburg Hospital where he had been a patient since Feb 13.
Mr.Wooster was born at Leroy, Bradford County, December 3, 1853, the son of the late Edward and Calisty Wooster, making his age 85 years, 4 months and 13 days.
He came here from Bradford County when he was 17 years old and had lived here since that time.
Clayton Wooster was married to Frances Hashbarger on April 6, 1872. To this union was born five children.
He is survived by his 84 year old widow, Mrs. Frances Wooster, and the following sons and daughters: Edward Wooster of Cherry Tree; Mark Wooster; Mrs J.W. Potter, and Mrs. Dudley Potter of this place, and William Wooster of Los Angeles, Calif. There are also 27 grandchildren and 23 great grandchildren surviving.
Funeral services were held at the Wooster home Wednesday afternoon, April 19, in charge of Rev. N.D. Shirey. Interment was made in the Keewaydin Cemetery.

I found the above obit while researching online for the maiden name of an Alta or Alda Unknown who married my 2nd great granduncle Ernest Kester. I am interested in any info you may have on the descendents of Ernest & Alta as well as any info you may have on Ernest's parents (David Harvey Kester & Minerva Jane Dressler) as well as any of his siblings.
